Idris Elba says he was given one warning before auditioning for The Wire: don’t let them know you’re British. Trevor Noah: “I’ve seen people get shocked when they find out you’re not American.” Idris Elba: “I was unemployed, bro.” “I was living in New Jersey. I was bartending, working... the door, DJing.” “Before you know it, you just start speaking like an American.” “Then my casting director said, ‘This thing has come up. It’s called The Wire.’” “‘But if you go in, you cannot let them know you aren’t American.’” “‘This is about Baltimore. It’s very specific.’” “So I auditioned for four weeks straight in an American accent.” “Then at the fourth audition, they looked at me and said…” “‘Idris… where are you from?’” Trevor Noah: “‘Where are you from?’ That’s the phrase every immigrant is terrified of hearing.” Idris Elba: “My palms started sweating.” “I’m thinking… they told you not to say anything.” “I looked at them and said…” “‘I’m from East London.’” “The room just exploded.” “‘Oh my God… we had a bet.’” “‘We knew you weren’t from Baltimore or Brooklyn, but we never guessed England.’” “‘You got the job.’” “‘We don’t want you to play Avon.” “We want you to play Stringer Bell.’” “I walked out thinking…” “‘Did my life just change?’”show more

Idris Elba says he lied about being American to land The Wire "The casting director told me, 'You cannot let them know you aren't American.' So I auditioned for four weeks straight in an American accent." "Then they asked, 'Where are you from?' My palms started sweating. I finally said, 'I'm from East London.'" "The room exploded. They said, 'You got the job. We don't want you to play Avon. We want you to play Stringer Bell.'" (throwback) Credit: Trevor Noah

Idris Elba says he didn’t know Stringer Bell was going to die… and admits he’s never watched “The Wire.” Idris Elba: “I didn’t ever meet the real character. I took my inspiration for Stringer from people I knew in the UK. Gangsters that were more suits and smiles than, “Yo.”” Idris Elba: “They were understated, listened more than they talked, and moved with grace instead of trying to be big and tough all the time.” Idris Elba: “The scene where Stringer dies… It was a really tough scene to shoot because I didn’t know Stringer was going to die in that episode.” Idris Elba: “I was like, “What? Wait… what? He dies? What do you mean? It was quite a surprise. I think it was a good move for the show.” Host: “Looking back on the show, how do you think it holds up 20 years later?” Idris Elba: “Famously, I haven’t seen it. I’ve seen some parts of it, I think it holds up. The writing was so good, and the perspective of that part of America was crystal clear.”

Trump was reportedly furious over Noem’s assertion during a hearing that he had approved that $200+ million ad campaign but she actually had told this story before and based on what the former DHS Secretary says here, it allegedly was his idea. Noem: He said, “Do you know those ads that you did in South Dakota?” Oh, and I said, “Yes sir, you mean my ‘Freedom Works Here’ ads?” And he said, “Yeah, those ones where you — those beautiful ads, you know, those beautiful ads, beautiful — you did about South Dakota. They had Mount Rushmore, all those things.” He said, “I want you to do those for the border..” And I said, “Well sir, I don’t know how that works. You mean the ones where I was a plumber and where I was an electrician? I don’t know if I can do those for the border.” And he said, “No, I want you to do those for the border, and I want you to do those everywhere — not just in the United States, but I want them around the world. I want you to tell people not to come to this country if they’re going to come here illegally.” And I said, “Well sir, we can do press conferences. You know, we can tell people what we’re doing.” And he said, “Nope. We’re not going to let the media tell this story because the media will never tell the truth. A marketing campaign to make sure the American people know the truth of what you’re doing.” And I said, “Well sir, do you want to be in those ads?” And he said, “Nope, nope, I want you to do them.” He said, “I want you in the ads.” He said, “I want you in the ads, and I want your face in the ads. But I want the first ad — I want you to thank me. So I want you to thank me for closing the border.” And I said, “Yes sir, I will thank you for closing the border.” So if you notice in that ad, we thanked him for closing the border.

Iman Shumpert on getting traded from the Knicks to play with LeBron James and the Cavaliers: “In New York, you felt like they love the Knicks in Cleveland. You knew you play with LeBron. I wish I could sugarcoat it. I can’t. It’s that simple. It’s not even a strict program because Bron, to his point, to give him credit to his point he made the other night, he is a 41 year old kid. They say you act exactly how you act when they handed you money. You could tell LeBron got paid at 17. It’s the reason that he that cold because he think like a child. Like, when you was 17, I’m sure you probably was like, it’s like before you get to college and they break you where it’s like that creative mindset where you like, but why coach? We could just do this. And it’s like the coach explain it to you and then you stop like even questioning the coach. You like, let me just go out here and do what I’m supposed to do, handle my business, make sure we win, and then boom, I want to climb up the ranks. I don’t want them looking at me like that. Bron went at 17 while he was still curious.” (Via Out The Mud Podcast)

Paul Pierce on why college stars fail in the NBA: “Because you have to realize you got to make a new adjustment. It starts like, I tell people like I was a high school All-American and so when I got to college, it was like it starts over. They don’t care. You know, they don’t like you was a top player in high school. This is now you’re playing against grown men. And then I was college first team All-American. Then you get to the league and it’s like they don’t care. You start over again. And so what you got to understand, everybody in the NBA was stars were before the NBA. When you look at a guy and I always like to use Pat Beverly, for example, Pat Beverly averaged 30 something in high school, 40 like and then, you know, once he start leveling up and leveling up, everybody did that. So this where you see, you know, people try to find their niche.” (Via No Fouls Given)

Charlie Sheen reveals Oliver Stone gave the Born on the Fourth of July role they had agreed on to Tom Cruise and confronted him drunk in a bar about it years later “The thing that was weird is he said, you know, I want you to do Born on the Fourth and we had meetings about it and we had a dinner with Ron Kovic, and then he just I stopped hearing from him.” “I love that Emilio thought I needed to be seated to get news he thought was going to make me faint. I mean, what are we doing here? It's a movie.” “It was also the betrayal factor of it, you know.” “I was like, Well, we didn't see you. How do you know how much passion I lost if we never talked about it again? He was like, Yeah, you know, my instincts told me.”

I started freelancing before i knew what it meant and across all platforms I’ve made over $200k All i do is listen to the good people on the internet and build my way through the pains, I’m gradually finding it comfortable to share my wins too. If you are scared, I was too If you don’t know what you are doing, I still don’t know what I’m doing as well If you don’t know where to start, I started on facebook (you can start from anywhere) If you don’t know what to start with, I started with a dead desktop computer I revived in the office where i did my SIWES If you think you need helper, well, i didn’t have one, i even sponsored myself through school with the money i made from doing casual work at Dangote salt company NASCON Maybe your current situation is worse than mine was, but i’m a living testimony that you can start from where you’re with what you have and you will still turn out fine.

Sometimes I wish I had been born from a tree bark. But unfortunately… that’s what we have in our hands. Yes, Fadime’m? - I really want this guy. - If so, must not upset this precious soul I would sacrifice myself for. And after finding Eleni we’re going to do an engagement party, marriage ceremony, whatever you want. - Tamam. - Wht don’t you say “okay” to me just once before my blood pressure fluctuates again? - Look at me. The rest is a slap, okay? Come with the second one. - The second is. Can we please stay here and not go to Koçari? I haven’t slept since the last night. There is no one I can’t tolerate here but you. - One condition. - Ask me about anything you want. - If you caress my hair… - The hair you cut because I touched them? - I can let them grow if you want to. But if you love it like that I’ll leave it like that. - I swear, I love every version of you. - What if we had to choose a side? - Why don’t we choose us? #isfad

🚨 Tom Emmer just said what millions of Americans have been thinking for years: “I don’t really care where you come from, but if you come to this great country, you have to understand you’re coming here to be an American.” We celebrate your culture — Italian, Polish, Somali, whatever. Celebrate it all you want. But if you don’t assimilate? “Then they should go the hell back to where they came from.”And to the people who try to shut this down by screaming “racist” or “Islamophobe”? “Sometimes Minnesotans are so afraid… You know what? I am done being careful. ”America isn’t a hotel. It’s a country. Come here to join it — or don’t come at all. The era of walking on eggshells is over. Assimilate or leave. Period.

I am done being careful. ”America isn’t a hotel. It’s a country. Come here to join it — or don’t come at all. The era of walking on eggshells is over. Assimilate or leave. Period.

Crockett: As they have told us many times—when I say "us," I mean specifically Black folks—they have told us to go back to where we come from. They have told everybody to go back to where they came from, even though we’re talking about the original colonizers. But nevertheless, we won’t go there and give you the history lesson, because we know you don’t want to go through history lessons in this country… My answer to them is, if you don’t believe in democracy, go find yourself and your way to Russia.

Persian woman says voting for Donald Trump was “the best decision of my life” after the Iran strike “I have been in this country for 26 years. I never voted for anybody, no president, because I didn't believe in none of them. Not Democrats, not Republicans. I didn't vote for any of them. The only time I voted was last election. I voted for Mr. Trump and I think I did the best decision in my life, not as my vote was important, but for me, I think it was the right decision to trust somebody who wanted to do the right things for 80 million people If you American live in this country and you hated him, or you hate him, I don't know about you, but for us, for 80 million people, he did the right things. I am so proud of him. I am so proud of being an American, and I just pray for him and his family. He rescued 80 million people after 47 years” “We are not Arabs. We are Persians and Persians are proud of their civilization. We get our country back, we get our civilization back, and we are gonna fix this country. I just wanna say thank you, thank you, thank you, Mr. Trump. God bless America, and God bless my country. Thank you.”

I can’t believe a person you would put your trust into, marry them, have kids with them and they can do this to you! And then have the nerve to get mad when we choose the bear. It’s really sicko and weird. Would you want this to happen to your daughter or sister or mother? I’m at a lost for words. For the men who say they are our allies, you have a lot of work to do. Men who get offended by this it’s because you know what men are actually capable of. Either you are them or so ashamed you don’t want to admit it. But it doesn’t stop it from happening. Damn damn damn. 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️ I just wish we had the same strength as men cause this would be a different story. And for the ones who think “not all men” you are a very big part of the problem. You definitely know a man who is. Talk to the women in your life they will tell you or like he said they may not cause they just don’t trust you enough to do so. 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

John Krasinski says a British customs officer couldn’t believe Emily Blunt married him and stamped his passport in fury "I remember going through customs. There was a guy about my age, seemed a bit grumpy. He said, ‘You’re an actor? Where do I know you from?’ I said, ‘We did the American version of your British Office’" "He goes, ‘Oh, I love that show. The UK version.’ Strike one. Then he said, ‘Who are you visiting?’ I said, ‘My wife.’ He said, ‘Is she an actress? What’s her name?’ I said, ‘Emily Blunt’" "He went, ‘You? You?’ I was like, ‘Yeah.’ He goes, ‘All right, get out of here,’ and stamped my passport with a fury"

DeMarcus Cousins says he doesn’t like the way LeBron James was treated LA: “And you know we in this era now that you can’t really, you know speak on his behalf or it’s considered glazing or we paid by Klutch all this goofy sh*t but for the most part, you know, I grow up in the era of watching Bron like create the blueprint for the next guys coming up. So, I think he’s a legend in this game hands down. I just, I don’t know we kind of getting to a point where you know when it comes to our legends in the game, I don’t think they going out gracefully the way they should. I mean, from Melo to how CP was handled. We kind of watching how the Lakers just kind of act like Bron ain’t LeBron, like, you know what I mean? So, Kevin Durant, like, you know? So, I want him to go whenever he’s going to be appreciated and where he’s going to get the flowers he deserves.” (Via Road Trippin’ Show)
