Robert Downey Jr. says he almost turned down Tropic Thunder, but changed his mind after asking himself where his heart really was. “Ben Stiller called me about it, and I thought, ‘Yeah, I’ll do that after Iron Man.’” “Then I started thinking, ‘This is a terrible idea.’” “I had to stop and ask myself, ‘Where is your heart?’” “Part of it was getting to expose the insane, self-involved hypocrisy of actors and what they think they’re allowed to do.” “Ben knew exactly what he wanted. Watching him direct was like watching Chaplin or Coppola.” “It was impossible to make that movie without people thinking it was offensive.” “But 90% of my Black friends were like, ‘Dude, that was great.’”

Paul Sorvino, who played Paulie in Goodfellas, nearly backed out of the film two days before production. The self-described “softie” had spent months agonizing over the role, convinced he didn’t have what it took to play a mafia boss. He explains… “I didn’t think I could do it, because it was not the kind of role that I felt I really had an affinity for. The externals were easy: middle-aged Italian man. The difficulty was in the lethality that I felt I didn’t possess. And so even though I wanted to do it, I was sort of faking when I went to the meeting and giving Martin the impression that I knew exactly what to do with it - when I had no idea what to do with it. But I wanted so much to be in a Scorsese movie. I guess he just figured I was capable of it. It was about two months of preparation to try to get this quality that I knew it called for. I was kind of agonizing over it - I was thinking, “I’m gonna ruin this movie.” I was looking for something to get out of it till two days before we started production. By virtue of constantly searching to find that kind of quality that killers have, I was preparing to go out one night, passed by the mirror to check for spinach in the teeth, and I jumped back. I literally frightened myself. I saw a look in my eyes that frightened me. ‘Who was that?’ I said, ‘That’s Paulie.’ And once I found it, the role became just a duck in water. It just was so easy to do.”

American in Illinois explains what it was like leaving the Democrat Party “Explaining to my family and friends that I could not, for the life of me again, vote for a Democratic Party again was probably one of the toughest things I ever had to do. And once I made that statement publicly, like on social media and stuff like that, that's when all hell broke loose — I began to lose clients from my business. I had people calling me up talking about, they can't work with somebody who would vote for a racist or a Nazi. — This is real. But it became a matter of my morals, my values, and what I truly wanted to teach my kids. Like, yes, yes. — So business started failing. Friends who I thought were friends, family members stopped talking to me, started talking about me, and then we started having the problem. I put a Trump sticker on my car. What the hell did I do that for? In the middle of the hood with a Trump sticker — That was brave. But I did it because I gave no f*cks because I know how to fight. And surprisingly for me, more people were interested in my decision why than it was people angry with my decision why. And I began to have the opportunity to explain to people why I was making the decision that I was making and even more surprisingly, it made sense to them too.”

Robert Pattinson reveals he spent years trying to find a ballet movie to do because he has an "inner ballerina". "Robert Pattinson: I was trying for years to find a ballet movie to do. My agent was like, 'Why? Do you know how to do ballet?' and I was like, 'No. But I know I really want to do it.'" "Jennifer Lopez: But why? Tell us why." "Robert Pattinson: I think there's just a ballerina inside of me." "Jennifer Lopez: There's a ballerina in there." "Robert Pattinson: Even though you're being filmed and it's going to have this big audience, there's something very protected about shooting. I would never, for instance, actually get a job as a stripper."

This was my favorite part of #Flex1045xJossGawinConcert 🎙: What is something you've managed to overcome within yourself? 🐻: The first big thing that comes to mind was before the fancon. 🎙: Last year's fancon? 🐻: Yes. I remember talking to Gawin about how I still wasn't confident that I could do it. I already knew that no matter what, I was going to have to get on that stage. But at that time, I felt like I didn't really belong there. Maybe because I came from an acting background. 🐻: I also had a lot of worries. A lot of my friends are artists, like Timethai and P'Pae, who are musicians. They've spent years building up their experience. Even Gawin himself has been playing music since he was a teenager, since he was a kid. 🐻: But for me, I had only recently started trying and learning. A lot of the time, it didn't feel natural. It wasn't something I could just do right away. I had to practice, practice, and practice again and agian. When I first started taking lessons, there were still times when I'd sing off key or dance out of rhythm. So I felt like everything was moving so slowly. I was starting late, after all. 🐻: But as I kept practicing more and more, I gradually became more confident. Still, there was always a small part of me that wondered, because I'd never performed on a big stage before. I didn't know what it would be like. Would I be able to handle the nerves? What if I made a mistake? What would happen then? 🐻: It took time. In the end, my friends and the people close to me helped me realize that it was all just part of the experience. Whatever is going to happen will happen. I feel lucky to have people around me who made me feel comfortable enough to just go for it. 🐻: And we practiced so much that, for some songs, it became second nature to me. That's when I started thinking, Okay, maybe I started later than other people, but if I put in enough practice and give myself enough time, I can do it. 🐻: Then when the day finally came and I actually did it, I really could do it. Even though there were mistakes and it wasn't perfect, I still felt like, Wow, I actually did a good job. And when I got feedback from my friends, the fans, and the seniors who told me they were very surprised that I was able to do this well, I thought, Okay... yeah, it's difficult. But it's not impossible. 🎙: Everything is possible. Anything is possible. Let's give him a round of applause. 👏🏻

Channing Tatum says he agreed to do this cameo in ‘This is the End’ while drunk. “I probably had too much to drink when I got the email… It involved Danny McBride, wrestling masks and a leash.” I was like: “Yeah, I’ll do it.” “It was a terrible idea.”

Trump broadcasted a major move, announcing that the JFK files would be released “almost immediately” when he takes office. Rogan probed Trump about why he never opened them up during his first term, and Trump responded that certain people “asked [him] not to do it.” “I can't tell you whether or not they're going to find anything of interest... But I was asked not to do it, and I thought that was a reasonable ask. But now I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it very soon,” Trump said.

Bradley Cooper says he was ready to quit acting before The Hangover changed his career “I was going to quit. I remember I was doing a play, and I was like, ‘It's just not happening.’ I really wanted to be an actor. I loved it so much. I was making a living, which was a miracle. For the first three years, I was like, ‘This is amazing.’ Then I was like I just want to be three days on a movie, then you’re not, and then you're gone” “I wasn't really getting any other roles that were substantial. I met with Todd Phillips six months before for The Hangover, and then it was gone. The truth is, I think they had a cast, but the budget was too high. They said if you make it with a smaller budget, we'll do the movie” “Then I was doing a play in Williamstown called The Understudy by Theresa Rebeck. I remember I got an email from Todd Phillips, and I was like, ‘Whoa, how'd he get my email?’ He was like, ‘Let's do this, bitches’” “Then we went from there and started shooting. We went to Vegas that fall. I never would have gotten Limitless if I wasn't part of The Hangover. That changed everything”

Stew Peters believes Nick Fuentes changed tune after making a deal to become the future President of the United States 😳🇺🇸 "I think it's obvious he made a deal. I think he was trying to build a solution, but he realized the system is bigger than he thought, that the enemy is different from who he thought it was." "I think he wants political power, become President, he would do anything for that. Coincidentally, I don't think there's been a bigger beneficiary to Charlie Kirk than Nick Fuentes."

I woke up to the realization that this did in fact happen. I keep watching this and every time he turns that puzzle around it keeps being me. I can't find the words, and I've tried, to explain what I experienced in that moment. I was thinking that it sounds like he's describing me, but I was like there's no way that's the case. And then there came a point where my eyes welled up with tears and I started to think that this might really be me. I knew that I didn't apply, I know that I'm described as wholesome, and I knew that I had sent out a tweet, but I was still thinking there's no way that he is paying attention to me. And then he said, this person goes by the name of "I" and then the board turned and I lost it. Kai Cenat StreamerUniversityRelated Kai Mafia Updates🗽💫

Tom Holland reveals he and Zendaya got a whole crew sent home to rewrite a Spider-Man scene that wasn't working "I would never, ever dream of saying this to an actress that I wasn't with." "I said to her, do you think that this scene is working? And she was like, no, I don't think this scene is working at all." "I then went and sat down with Destin and said, hey man, I know we've been shooting for hours, but I don't think that this scene is working." "He said to the crew, everyone can go home, we're gonna sit down and rewrite this scene. We came in the next day, reshot it, and I'm so glad we did, because it sings in the movie." "It was just so funny, I was thinking about, like, if this wasn't Zendaya that I was sitting across from. Imagine on someone else's coverage being like, do you think this is working?"

One of the most powerful moments in this episode. At 28, mark pincus finds himself unemployed (fired by John Malone, Bain, and others), with few prospects. He had big dreams, but the world wasn't cooperating. This is how he turned things around. what "I realized I had nowhere else to fall from this because I just felt like I’d made a lot of bad career decisions and I was washed up early and I just sat there in this temple." It was a good place to sit and think because he didn't know anyone and didn't understand anything. "And I just started writing in a notebook about why my life sucked so badly." This book, a journal he's kept every year that he calls the book of life, allows him to take an accurate accounting of his life and change his mindset through reflection. After writing for hours about how bad his life sucked and all the mistakes he'd made, he focused on one small thing. "I just ended on this one thing: that I smoked cigarettes. I didn’t even smoke smoke. I smoked like one or two a day, a pack a night if I was at a bar on weekends, but I hated it ... I didn’t want to do it, but I kept doing it." He felt like his life was out of control, but this was one thing he could control. "I just was like, if I could do one thing to know that I’m making some positive change in my life, I’m going to quit smoking. So on October 19th, 1994, I did a lifetime quit on cigarettes and then every day for that year after that, that I didn’t smoke, it was something I could feel good about. So I was like, okay, I did something for myself today by not smoking." The wins started to stack. I asked him what he was writing about. What was his process? "At that point, I had no structure or process. I was just writing, and there was so much in me." Was it anger? "It was. I did feel angry and frustrated and I was like, I had all these dreams. I wanted to be an entrepreneur from early on and I was an achiever. I thought I was an achiever, but I was not achieving." He's done the same technique every year: "What it’s done for me and I think it could do for a lot of people is just be strategic about your life, like be thoughtful about, I like to say, what would your future self thank you for doing this year and what wouldn’t?" And that question is the one that really matters. What can you do today that your future self will thank you for? What the book of life did was hold him accountable and force him to make tough decisions that his future self would thank him for.

Philip Seymour Hoffman on getting sober at 22: In this interview, Hoffman is asked about his decision to stop drinking and using drugs. The interviewer notes he went into rehab early, at 25. Hoffman corrects him. "I got sober. I was 22 years old." When asked whether it was drugs or alcohol, he doesn't hedge: "Yes. All that stuff. Anything I get my hands on. I liked it all." Then the interviewer asks the real question: Why did he decide to stop? His answer comes down to a single word, repeated: "You get panicked. You get panicked. I was 22 and I got panicked for my life." He's careful not to dramatise it. But he explains what that panic was really about. It wasn't abstract. It was the fear that the life he wanted was slipping out of reach: "Whatever I was doing made me worry if I was going to be able to do the things I wanted to do with my life. And I was putting myself in situations and predicaments that were dangerous." What stayed with him, even years later, was the clarity of that moment at 22: "I do remember thinking there's things I want to do, you know, there's things I want to do and I'm not going to do them. If I keep doing this, it's not going to happen."

Joe Rogan says he called Theo Von to apologize for his comments last week where he voiced concern for Von’s mental health. Rogan admitted he did a huge “disservice” to Von and it came across as though he was “throwing his friend under the bus.” ROGAN: “Then it comes out, like Theo has to defend it and then I called him up and I said, dude, I’m so sorry.” “I didn’t even think of that, and that’s very selfish of me. I didn’t think that you would have to respond. I didn’t even think of it.” “Theo is one of my favorite people...the last thing I would ever want to do is hurt that guy and the last thing I would ever want to do is say something that would have people think about him in a negative way.” “Which I’m sure I did. This was one of the reasons that I wanted to make this video and I wanted to apologize.” “I felt like a huge disservice to my friend and also to people listening.”

Travis Scott reveals Christopher Nolan personally called him to star in The Odyssey “My phone went off and it just said, ‘Chris.’ I'm thinking, okay, I don't know what this is about. Maybe he wants to go to a show” “I pick up and he's like, ‘Would you be interested in acting in a movie?’ I'm like I mean I guess... I didn't even think it was for him” “He's like, ‘Well, I'm working on this movie. I haven't really told people about it yet and I want you to be in it” “I'm like whoa, wait you know I make music?” “He gave me his whole thesis on why. He's a real mentor of mine, so I was like whatever you're down with, I'm down” “I showed up thinking it was just going to be me and maybe some extras. I didn't know it was going to be Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson and all these amazing people”

Palmer Luckey explains why founders need to “make themselves obsolete” “When I started Oculus, I thought I was really good at everything… But I was only the best at a lot of things in our company because I had been negligent in my hiring process.” For example, Palmer was the best optical engineer in the company, but he realized that wasn’t something to be proud of. “That was a failure. I failed my company and my investors by making myself a critical dependency for any of our products. And the reality is I’m actually not a very good optical engineer. I was just the best at Oculus.” Once you start scaling your company, Palmer advises founders: “You have to make it your goal to make yourself obsolete, even at the things you like doing.. And that was really tough for me at Oculus because I realized I was basically playing house. I was sitting around doing things that way better people could be doing faster, more effectively.” He continues: “I give my managers the same mindset. I say, ‘Hey, your job is not to do things. It is to get them done in the best way possible. If that means you do it, then you need to do it… If that means that somebody else needs to get hired to do it, that’s what you need to do—even if you like doing it.’” Video source: Internet Marketing (2021)

Kevin Costner said he didn’t want to speak publicly after Whitney Houston died because he felt their relationship was “just a movie.” Kevin Costner: What happened was, it was a thing I didn't want to do. When Whitney passed, the microphone was going around for a, for a week, that everybody getting on TV talking about her. And I'm thinking, "Jesus, the last thing I want to do is get on a radio and talk about her." Uh, after all, it was just a movie really. And, but there was this weird thing that I didn't take into consideration. I think sometimes, maybe you and I can miss what the real momentum is, that we don't really gauge it because we either intellectually dismiss it or we just don't care, but people wanted to hear what I had to say about her, which baffled me. It was a, it was a make-believe relationship we had. And so I avoided it.
