Jayson Tatum says becoming a father at 19 gave him purpose and helped him avoid the mistakes that often come with fame and wealth “I have two boys.” “I was 19 when Deuce was born.” “That was the best thing that could have ever happened to me.” “It wasn’t planned.” “I was afraid.” “I was just leaving Duke.” “I was entering my new career.” “I was moving to Boston.” “I was starting my new life.” “Now I’m about to be a father.” “He was born 12 games into my NBA career.” “I was nervous.” “I didn’t think I was ready.” “I was selfishly thinking about myself.” “My career.” “What I wanted.” “The moment it changed was when he was born.” “The doctor handed him to me.” “I was like, ‘I want him to be a junior.’” “For me, it’s nothing more rewarding than being a dad.” “Being a father gave me a sense of responsibility.” “Before I made any decision, I had to think about him.” “I remember holding him and it just hit me.” “I was like, ‘Oh no, he has swim lessons tomorrow.’” “It gave me a sense of purpose.” “That really made me grow up a lot faster than I expected.” “It was perfect timing.”

Gary Payton says he taught Kobe his secrets because Kobe asked him to teach him, despite knowing he would use that information against him for the rest of his career “Kobe was already different. He was a different kid. I was about 10 or 11 years into the NBA at the time, and Kobe didn’t have a fear of asking anybody how to get better.” “He came by me and was like, ‘Big bro, you be doing this and that. I really want to learn this because of you.’ When he said that, that took something in my heart. A kid with his ability, knowing where he was going, really wanted to learn, and he didn’t have an ego.” “I didn’t mind. I didn’t care about him knowing how to do it and stop it because if he knows it, it makes me better too. Because I gave him the game, now I’ve got to learn how to stop him. I’ve got to show him something else.” “It didn’t really bother me, and me and him got so tight. Especially when I went to the Lakers and was mentoring him, we got really, really tight.”

Fathers to a son: please read this. We dropped my oldest off at college this week. He is 18. Totally ready to leave the house. Desperate for independence. This is the way it should be. But it has torn me up. Statistically we have spent 90% of all the time we ever will together. I am sad because I know I made a lot of mistakes during this time. Mainly, I was too hard on him because he was the oldest, and he was a boy. I was the oldest, and a son in my family. I repeated some mistakes that were made with me. Even though I was convinced I would do a better job. I spanked him. I used unkind and hurtful words when I thought he fell short. Things that I have learned cause more harm than good. Things I wish I could take back. Basically I was just too damn hard on him. I have learned and (I hope) improved as a father. Which benefits his little sister and brother. I wrote him a long letter before he left. I told him how proud I am of him, tried to give him some words of wisdom, but also apologized for not always being a great dad. I told him I wanted to be the greatest dad in the world, but I didn’t always know how. I explained how I was brought up, and my father was brought up, and that I had brought some stuff along as a dad that I hope he is smart enough to leave behind when he is a dad. I know my grandfather had it ROUGH. My dad had it a bit less ROUGH. I had it by comparison better, and my son did too. However I could have and should have done a better job in my link of this chain of fatherhood. I am confident my son will do better when it is his turn. To the dads out there, especially with your oldest son…try not to be so hard on him. He doesn’t need to feel the weight of all of your expectations of a family lineage, he doesn’t need to be made into a clone of you, he doesn’t have to be made ready to be your “successor”. Watch how you discipline him…think very carefully about what you are trying to do and what the expected results will be. He just needs to be a good man and to be happy. And you need to keep a good relationship with him.

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson reveals his dad was kicked out at 13 after laying a man out cold with a shovel "It was Christmas. My dad's dad had died a year earlier, and there was a new boyfriend in the mix. He came over, and they had their turkey, and the boyfriend got drunk and peed on the turkey" "My dad was 13, they got in a fight. My dad took a toy gun, and he drew a line in the dirt, and said, 'If you cross that, I'm going to take this shovel, and I'm going to kill you.' And then he was drunk, he crossed the line, my dad at 13 grabbed the shovel, laid him out cold as a block of ice" "Cops came. As he was out, the cops looked at my grandmother and said, 'When he gets up, one of two things are going to happen. Either he's going to kill him, or he's going to kill him. One of them got to go.' And my grandmother looked at my dad and said, 'You're out.' At 13"

Zendaya says Robert Pattinson wasn't what she expected at all "My first impression of Rob, he was very quiet when I first met him. We were at a friend's house and I was like, hi, nice to meet you. He was very quiet, and I was like, oh he's a mysterious actor" "And then I got to know him and he is just like the goofiest dude, he takes nothing serious, very un-serious man" "He's got such a wonderful filmography, he's done such incredible projects and he really creates these really intense characters" "I was expecting maybe that he was going to be like one of those people 'don't talk to me while we're on set, I'm in my character'" "I didn't know really what to expect, but he is just so lovely and easy going, and really really cool"

Benedict Cumberbatch says he knew Sherlock would completely change his life before he got the role “It was just at the dawn of the internet and Twitter, and suddenly the audience was all live and all virtual” “It was still a watercooler moment. It was an event. It was still something that could grab people” “I guess it was also an iconic character, so I knew people would look” “Until that point, I didn’t want anything to do with fame. I was very happy, lucky enough to be working, enjoying my job, working with great people” “And then this audition came up, and I was like, ‘Wow, if I get this, this is going to be quite a step change, because the character alone, people are going to take interest in it’” “Good, bad or indifferent, people are going to watch it”

Denzel Washington’s epic monologue towards the end of Training Day was largely improvised on set. Director Antoine Fuqua was so blown away by his performance, he says he thinks he "forgot to yell cut”. He explains… “That’s Denzel. He was just in his zone. I mean, that was one of those moment...people talk about AI. Those are the moments where you go...it's a great tool. It's gonna be a great tool, I think...but the emotion, and the moment that an actor can bring - you can't predict that. That's something that's just inside of Denzel. And when that came out, I was just like - I hope I got it. I just turned to my operator - who was shaking- I looked over at the guy - I was like, “please tell me you got that.” Because that was the take. That was it. There was no other take - I mean, how do you tell an actor like that, that that wasn't good enough? …He walked over to me, and he just had this look in his eyes. I was like, “you good?” He said, “you good?” I said, “Yeah…” Some of that was in the script, but he flipped it the way he did it. "Putting cases on all you." He kind of added some things in there. And then he just went into a whole other zone with the whole King Kong thing- with Pelican Bay - Denzel started that. That was Denzel. That was him, man. He just kind of lit up, and I think I forgot to yell cut. I was just watching it, because everybody started walking away, and I'm just watching him, and then he lights a cigarette - and he's talking - and I'm just watching him. I think at some point he probably looked at me like, you going to cut? And I'm like, “oh yeah, yeah, cut.” He was still in it. That's the thing with Denzel. He was so Alonso…I'm just watching him for a while because I didn't know what else he was going to do. It was just so magical. And then I think he looked up at me and I was like, “Okay, cut, cut.”

Matthew McConaughey reflects on what he realized at 8 years old that made him want to be a father "The only thing I ever knew in life I wanted to be was a father. I was 8 years old. My dad was a yes sir, no sir man. He'd introduce me to his friends and I'd shake their hand, 'Yes sir, nice to meet you'" "What hit me at 8 years old was that all of those men whose hands I shook and called sir - they were dads. They were fathers" "And in my 8-year-old mind, I went: 'Oh, that's how you make it. That's success. Become a father. That's how you become a man. That's how you become a king'"

The last time I saw my grandfather, Izu, was in 2003. He was dying of lung cancer in Venezuela. He was a larger than life man from the Kingdom of Romania who was orphaned at 10 years old, came to Venezuela, and built his entire life from scratch. I was at playing football at the Columbia University when my father called and said, "Look, I know you're really busy with school and sports and all that, but if you ever want to see him again, this is the time." So I talked to my coaches and worked things out and I flew down to Caracas with my father. If you know Venezuelan history, in 1998, Hugo Chavez, the dictator, became president. And the Constitution was clear you could run for only one five-year term. So in 2003, his term was up, but as an autocrat, he was not going to take that lying down. So what does he do? He packs the Supreme court with a bunch of his buddies and petitions for reconsideration.Constitution is clear, you can't run again." So what does he do? He packs the supreme Court with a bunch of his buddies and petitions for reconsideration. The new Supreme Court told him that not only could he run again, he could run as many times as he wanted to. He ruled until 2013 when he died of cancer. After the ruling, there were mass protests which happened to coincide with when I was visiting my grandfather. My grandfather, who was down to roughly 85 pounds and confined to a wheelchair, asked me to wheel him outside onto the balcony and set up the chessboard so we could play one last time. As a little boy, he had taught me how to play chess. I set up the pieces. He couldn't lift his arm enough to move them, so I was moving them for him. He said to me, "Your father tells me you want to go to law school." And I said, "I do." And he said, "Where do you want to go to law school?" So I said, "I want to go to Yale, but I don't know if I'll get in." And then he said, "Well, what kind of lawyer are you gonna be?" And I said, "I really don't know, I'm just in college, I mostly just care about football, you know?" And he looked at me and he had watery eyes at that moment, and he picked up his very bony finger, which took a great deal of effort, and he pointed out at the crowd below and said, "Always remember, this is what happens to a country when good people don't serve it." And so when I got the call to serve as a federal judge, it was a no-brainer. This country welcomed us with open arms when we had nothing and gave us everything we have today. It's the honor of a lifetime to be able to serve, and I'm grateful for it every single day.

So I said, "I want to go to Yale, but I don't know if I'll get in." And then he said, "Well, what kind of lawyer are you gonna be?" And I said, "I really don't know, I'm just in college, I mostly just care about football, you know?" And he looked at me and he had watery eyes at that moment, and he picked up his very bony finger, which took a great deal of effort, and he pointed out at the crowd below and said, "Always remember, this is what happens to a country when good people don't serve it." And so when I got the call to serve as a federal judge, it was a no-brainer. This country welcomed us with open arms when we had nothing and gave us everything we have today. It's the honor of a lifetime to be able to serve, and I'm grateful for it every single day.

Kyle Shanahan on Curtis Robinson: “He's really worked to get better each year, and he's a very talented guy. I think when he came here, he hadn't played in a system like this for a while. It took him a little bit to kind of pick that up, but we so believed in him as a guy and his talent level that after a year, you could start to see it clicking. He became a big asset on special teams, and last year was the first time that we really believed he was going to step in there, really contribute at linebacker at a high level. It was actually kind of a sad story, but it was about 20 minutes before he tours ACL, was the first time that I told him he'd be starting that week. It was his first start in his career, and he had earned it. We were going to move him ahead of Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles at the time. I had just told Flannigan, which was tough for Flannigan, but they were so tight, so he was happy for Curtis. Then it was about 20 minutes later that Curtis tore his ACL on special teams before he even got to a defensive rep. He was so coming in there and finally about to have his moment. Then he had that setback, which I know crushed the team for him. He's one of the most liked guys on our team, as good of a person and good of a dude as I've ever been around. He's worked for this moment, and we're excited to see him get his opportunity." via: 49ers on NBCS

Watching this clip actually made me feel a lot better. Even though #JAMES was crying and trying to hold back his tears, I really think they were tears of happiness. The way he looked out at the fans and smiled… I could really feel how happy and touched he was, and how grateful he was for all the love he was getting. Honestly, just seeing that is enough for me. No matter what was going through his mind at that moment, I just want him to know that so many people love him and are always there cheering him on. I just want him to be happy and have nothing but good things come his way. And even when things get tough, I hope he’ll always have the strength to get through them. I’m so, so proud of you, JAMES 🥹❤️

Matthew McConaughey reveals the three words his dad said that changed his life “I said dad, I don't want to go to law school anymore. I want to go to film school and after about a 5 second pause, he goes, ‘Are you sure that's what you want to do?’ I reply yes sir” “Another long pause. Then I hear, ‘Well, don't halfass it’” “I remember just beaming, hopping up just like Yes! My dad not only said okay. The way he said don't halfass it, it was also, okay. Let's go big boy. Own that shit. Get some leverage. Get some horsepower behind where you're going. Go do it” “I remember to this day and I've learned this later I think from becoming a father, part of what I believe happened to him and why he said that to me that way on that call was the way that I asked him. I wasn't really asking. It was, ‘I don't want to go to law school, Dad. I want to go to film school.’ I didn't stutter. He heard his son saying this is what I want to do” “What I think happened to him in that moment is what I think any father, any parent loves. You raise your kids in a certain way and you give them a guideline, a ladder to climb and here's the guidelines and if you do it this way, you're most likely going to have some success in life and it'll work out for you and then when we do it that way, we can be proud parents” “But what do we really want to happen when our kids are out of the house and they're on their own? We kind of want them to call one day and go, ‘I'm breaking out. I'm going my own way.’ And as a parent, we go, as much as it may scare us, we're going, ‘Yes!’ I gave my kid the confidence and the courage and the foundation to say they're going to go their own way” “In a way, I think every parent honors and loves that moment. I heard my dad, when he didn't hear me stutter, when he heard me directly say what I said. I wasn't really asking him. Even though I was out of respect asking him, the way I said it, I wasn't asking him and I think he felt that” “Don't halfass it”

Gwyneth Paltrow says Brad Pitt stood up to Harvey Weinstein after he made an unwanted pass at her in a hotel room early in her career. Howard Stern : “You told him, ‘Hey, Harvey just did something really weird.’” Gwyneth Paltrow : “It was weird. I was shocked.” “So what happened was, I told him right away, and I was very shaken by the whole thing. And I had signed up to do two movies with him.” Howard Stern : “Were you afraid that the movies would be cancelled?” Gwyneth Paltrow : “I was afraid.” “We were at the opening of Hamlet on Broadway, and Harvey was there. And Brad Pitt, it was like the equivalent of throwing him against the wall, energetically.” “It was so fantastic, because what he did was he leveraged his fame and power to protect me at a time when I didn't have fame or power yet.” Howard Stern : “Did he ever tell you what he said to Harvey?” Gwyneth Paltrow : “Yeah, because he came back and told me exactly what he said.” “He said, ‘If you ever make her feel uncomfortable again, I'll kill you’ or something like that.” “And Harvey was never inappropriate with me again.”
