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.”

Idris Elba has one question for everyone who wants him as James Bond Host: There’s been a lot of chatter. Co-Host: Have they announced the next Bond? Host: I don’t believe they have. Drew Barrymore: If it’s not you, I don’t want to see it. Idris Elba: Thank Drew, that’s the meme for the next 2000 years. Thank you very much. Host: There’s been so much chatter. The role was offered, wasn’t offered, you wanted it, didn’t want it… What can you say? Idris Elba: Let me throw a question out to you guys. If you’re of the agreement that you think I should play it, can you ask yourselves why? Really answer why you think I should play it. Tell me why. Drew Barrymore: For me, the great art of art itself is being this beautiful hybrid. Can you be strong, charming, sexy, seem like a friend, and intimidating? You are that. Co-Host: I was just going to say because you’re handsome, cool, and English. Idris Elba: Do you think there’s an allure to the idea of me being the first Black man to play that character? Drew Barrymore: For me, it’s you. Idris Elba: It is not a goal for my career. I don’t think playing Bond will satisfy some of my personal goals. It will definitely satisfy the will of a nation. Every corner of the world I go, people always go, “Bond.” I feel it is beyond me at this juncture. A lot of people are really seeing Idris playing Bond as the alternative Bond, as long as that alternative is existing, that’s great for the growth of casting. We open the conversations. For that reason, I sit here and say, “Great, talk about me all day long,” because it opens the blinkers that we all have.

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.

Davante Adams says he plugged his ears so the Packers couldn’t talk him into staying, then signed a $141,000,000 deal with the Raiders making him the highest-paid WR in the NFL at the time Shannon: “You was out of there. You felt they slapped you in your face by not giving you what you had earned up until that point, made you play, put you and your family at risk, and then once you come out on the other side, they say, “Dawg, we knew you could do it, here you go, bro” Adams: “And then, but the biggest thing was that I didn’t hear anything after that. So I basically was already la-la-la-la-la, you know, once the season ended. But there was no follow-up, there wasn’t a lot of talks going on. I didn’t know, there was nothing for almost two months” “And I’m thinking, okay, well, I must just be a regular dude to them, so I’m about to go. And then they think that, you know, tagging me was the next op, after basically playing for Lloyd’s on the tag the year before that. So I’m like, this is obviously not it” “And they was, I don’t know if they was calling my bluff, or just, you know, whatever the idea was, but it just wasn’t working for me. So I just had to plug my ears before I heard a number that made my ass want to stay” Shannon: “And ‘cause you’d heard that number first, like, ‘Okay, I forgive y’all’, hold on, you said what?” Adams: “I just said, ‘Look, we’re going to nip this in the bud, this is what I think is best.’ You know, it end up working out for the Packers, they got a couple good players out of it as well. It is what it is”

Selena Gomez reveals how Benny Blanco proposed to her. “I thought we had a shoot that day, so I had hair and makeup done, and I was just going about my regular day. I got into the car, and I was thinking to myself, ‘Where are we going?’ Because at that point, I felt like I knew all the studios I usually go to” “It was just me and my security guard, and he was laughing because he was just like, ‘I don’t know. It’s a new space’” “We got out. I walked in, and all of a sudden, I saw no one in the room. I looked at my assistant, and she just shut the door. And I was like, ‘Uhhh…’” “I think you envision all the things you would do and say when someone proposes to you. But it is actually the craziest feeling. It was really special” “He said the sweetest things, but I was so shocked that it just felt unreal for a long time. I’ve always dreamed of that moment, and he couldn’t have made it more perfect. It was one of the best days of my life, for sure”

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)

Josh Brolin recalls a tense moment on the set of American Gangster when he thought he might have to “fight Denzel Washington.” “You know, Denzel was a hero of mine. Denzel and I did American Gangster together, and Denzel wouldn’t look at me. I did this scene with Denzel, and he had reworked the scene. He didn’t change any lines, he just reworked the scene. ‘Lines here, you say your line - You hold that line until the end - I said, ‘Okay.’ And then, as we're going through the scenes…Denzel Washington man, my hero….and I forgot a line. I put my hand on his shoulder, and I asked for the line. And he hit my hand away. He said, ‘Don’t you ever fucking touch me.’ And I was like, ‘Is he in character?’ - I was thinking, ‘Holy fuck, I’m going to fight Denzel Washington. This is amazing.’ And he looked at me right in the eye, and then I said, ‘Are we okay?’ And he said, ‘Yeah, we’re okay.’ I still don’t know to this day, because every time I see Denzel, he puts his arms out and gives me the biggest hug. And I’m just like, ‘I don’t understand actors. I know I’m an actor, but I don’t understand.’”

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.”

Jon Bernthal reveals the hilarious way comic book stores treated him after he was cast as the Punisher. “I went to a comic book store in Ventura, and there’s a guy smoking a cigarette outside. I said, ‘Yeah, man, I’m just looking for some Punisher comics.’ He goes, ‘Yeah, we don’t have much since the announcement.’ I’m like, ‘Announcement?’ I’m thinking, ‘That’s me. That’s my announcement.’ I thought, ‘Do I be a total douche and go over to the guy and be like, “Yeah, actually, I’m the guy?”’ So I just said, ‘Hey, man, if you could…’ And then he looked up and said, ‘Wow, it’s you.’ He was so cool and helpful. He told me, ‘You need to read this, this and this,’ and gave them to me for free. Then I went to New York and into a comic book store in Brooklyn. I got a whole stack and went up to buy them. He looks at me and goes, ‘Yeah, I know who you are.’ I said, ‘Okay, cool, man. I just want to buy these comics.’ He goes, ‘No, you don’t. You’re not taking this, you’re not taking this. You need to read this, this, this and this.’ I was like, ‘Okay, dude.’ And he goes, ‘Do not mess this up.’ Got it. Conan: “Did you get it for free?” Jon Bernthal: “No, man. No, not at all.”

Kevin Johnson telling a story about guarding Michael Jordan in the finals “So we fly in from Phoenix to Chicago. I fall asleep on the plane and then the head coach wakes me up, right? He says, Hey, I just want to let you know, game three is going to be your game. Said, Cool. You know I believe that I’m going to have a bounce back. He said you are guarding Michael Jordan. And I’m thinking we down 0-2 our best player is getting scorched. Know you going to put me who had a rough two games on Michael Jordan, right? So I go back to sleep. Plane land. I wake up. I’m like, damn I had a nightmare. I thought the coach came and told me I’m guarding Michael Jordan. We walking off the plane. The coach was right there. And I’m like I had this dream you came and woke me up and told me you want me to guard Michael Jordan. He said, you are. God as my witness we get on the team bus we take it from the airport we staying at the hotel downtown. I get off the bus. I tell equipment manager to take my bags. I see a church across the street. I walk straight in that church and sit in the front row and I’m like, Jesus, I don’t believe in you no more. There’s no way if you loved me and died on the cross and did all the things you would be having me guard Michael Jordan” (Via Club520podcast)

- First give me an answer. - What answer? - Do you really want to build a home with me? You know what my family did, what my mum did just a few moments ago. 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.

Kristen Bell reveals Dax Shepard broke up with her, then called her back just four days later. “ He did break up with me very early on. I may have scared him a little because I wanted to spend all our time together. I was very excited, and he had just gotten out of a relationship and wanted more freedom. I don’t think he wanted everything I was presenting to him.” “ He sat me down and said, ‘I don’t think we’re in the same place. I really, really enjoy you.’ At that point, I was definitely in love with him. We were a month and a half in, and I was heartbroken. Even thinking about it breaks my heart.” “ He said, ‘I’m still casually dating other people.’ I definitely wasn’t. But he was very upfront. He said, ‘That’s not what you deserve, and I’m not going to give you anything half-assed.’ In a way, he was extremely responsible with my heart, even though he broke it.” “Then, four days later, he texted me: ‘I’m just joking. I can’t do this. I really would like to be with you again.’” “I went over to his house, but I was a little guarded. He had planned a trip to the Bahamas for New Year’s and said, ‘I should probably let them know if you’re going to come on the trip.’” “I said, ‘If you want to invite me on a trip, you can ask me like a lady.’” “I gave him some grief after that, and I think it set the tone for our relationship.” “My therapist had said, ‘Maybe make him earn you back just a little bit. Don’t play a game, but don’t go back like some happy, dumb puppy dog.’” “So he did. He said, ‘I would really like it if you would accompany me to the Bahamas for New Year’s. Would you like to come?’” “And I said, ‘Yes, I would love to.’”
