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.’”show more

Robert Downey Jr. explains why he almost turned down Tropic Thunder "Ben called and asked me to do this movie. I thought, 'Yeah, I'll do that after Iron Man.'" "Then I started thinking, 'This is a terrible idea.'" "I had to ask myself, 'Where is your heart?'" "I realized I wasn't trying to mock Black people. I was trying to hold up a mirror to the insane, self-involved hypocrisy of actors who think they're allowed to do anything." "Ben Stiller knew exactly what movie he was making. It was impossible to make it without people thinking it could become an offensive nightmare." "But 90% of my Black friends were like, 'Dude, that was great.'"

Joe Rogan said Chris Rock getting slapped by Will Smith in the Oscars was like the best thing that ever happened to him. Adam Sandler: His live special was fuck! I loved it. I loved it. Joe Rogan: Yeah, and it was also like the build-up because of getting slapped by Will Smith and all that crazy shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that was like the best thing that ever happened to him, because then he became like wild again. Like, his stand-up was like outrageous. It was like the Rock of old. Adam Sandler: That night was like watching a fucking Super Bowl. You were just like, "What? it's a live event. Holy fuck, what the fuck?" And then he was a badass, and then I think he had some white shit on, and he looked cool as fuck. You were waiting for him to talk about it, and then he got to it and he got fucking excited to say it.

🚨I was hating Ganguly, his face was annoying to me - Saqlain Mushtaq🤯 I was not liking to see Sourav Ganguly, his image in my mind like an angry, arrogant man. I had never done any type of hi hello with him after the game. I was injured for almost 8 months and then when i got fit then i joined sussex county and at the time India was touring England. I was sitting in balcony and Ganguly came to me with 2 cup of coffee, he offered me one and himself had second one. He asked me how's your injury what happened in between, everything he asked to me. He wished me good for my health and after he left, i was ashamed on myself that i was thinking bad about him, and he is not like that. He is senior to me and India's captain still came to me and he is not like that. And then we met again that year in a programme i went to him and say sorry to him that i was thinking very wrong about you and after you came, you won my heart.

Matt Damon completely misread a moment with Tom Holland on The Odyssey’s set, what he thought was a touching father-son moment. Matt: “I saw him, and he was putting his hand on his heart, so I started to do it too.” Matt: “I thought he was saluting me, like it was a father-son moment.” Matt: “I was like, ‘was that Chris telling you to do that, hand on your heart?’ And he goes, ‘my costume was choking me.’”

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.”

Sam Altman didn’t ask Paul Graham for advice before launching ChatGPT because he knew exactly what he would say "This is like a meme for many YC founders, where you would go see him for office hours and he would say, ‘you know what you should do?’ And he would shake his finger.” “And sometimes the thing that came after that was great. Sometimes the thing that came after that was terrible.” “But the important thing was there is a creativity and open landscape and just, let's try a lot of things." “He really pushed the startup ecosystem into this world of, you got to ship a V1 you're embarrassed of early. And it doesn't matter if it could be much better. You'll get it much, much better because of the feedback to customers." “I don't even think I asked him before we launched ChatGPT, like, ‘hey, do you think we should launch this thing?’ But I knew what he would say. I knew it was still early. I knew it was still embarrassing. And I knew the right thing was to get it out and get it in front of people."

ROSÉ about partners feeling hidden “It’s been both ways. Some understood. But one of the toxic relationships… looking back, I realize I was way more paranoid than I needed to be. At the time, I was younger, more insecure, and very much in love. He’d say things like he didn’t want me around his friends or that he was too busy, and he framed it like it was about his job. I convinced myself it meant he was serious and dedicated. Now I look back and think why did you need that? at that time he was really serious about his job and i was like “that’s hot” I’ve met people after him who were way higher profile and still wanted to do more normal things with me. That was when it clicked. I had been gaslit into thinking that level of restriction was normal.”

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.

James McAvoy says he was nearly cast in Harry Potter as Tom Riddle but turned down a £40,000 retainer "I was nearly in Harry Potter. I can probably say this one" "This the very first movie, I think it was, and it was, um, it was... was it Tom Riddle? In the first one, right, in the very first one, but he's like in it for like a scene." "It was a flashback or something like that." "They had, I seem to remember it was right at the beginning of my career, I auditioned for it, and I think they wanted to put me on a retainer." "They offered me something like, it was crazy, I'd hardly done any work, and me and I think maybe 10 other actors or something like that." "They wanted to put us on a retainer so that they could hold us and keep us to choose later who it would be. It was a really strange thing." "They offered quite a lot of money for me at that time. It was a ton of money, it was like £40,000 or something like that. And I'd done very little work, and I wouldn't be able to do any work for about seven months, I think it was." "And I said to my agent, what do you think? And Ruth Young, who's been my agent since, well, for what is it, 24 years at least, 25 maybe, she was like, absolutely not, don't do that." "And she was like, we're going to go and do something else and I ended up doing the play that I got booed off, got booed by homophobic gentlemen, 'Out in the Open'" "I did that instead, and got paid, I think, £275 a week. But it was part of the making of me, and I actually got an acting workout, it was actually learning and doing all that."

I just finished watching the Highest of Stakes movie. It was really interesting and also kinda sad. It was cool to get into the mind of Richard Heart a bit. I think he's really misunderstood. I clipped this part out because I feel like it was the most important message from the whole movie I also liked the part where Richard shut down the scam lady and the finance professor Who is the pirate guy? Is he still here? What about his friend who was down bad?

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 @SUrelated Kai Mafia Updates🗽💫

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.

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."

Josh Brolin says he almost turned down the role of Thanos because he wasn’t sure Marvel was for him Josh Brolin: “When they asked me to do it, it was more like a cameo early on.” “They gave me this huge Bible of this character, Thanos.” “I went through it.” “I got so into it.” “I didn’t expect it at all.” “I almost said no.” “I was like, ‘Marvel… I don’t know.’” “‘It’s not really what I do.’” “I think that’s what was so fun about playing that character was the psychology of it.” “The behavior of it.” “The Russos would come up and they’d be like, ‘Remember that scene in Scarface?’” “‘The guy with the chainsaw?’” “‘Yes. Do that, but with your voice.’” “What great direction.”

jihoon said in the middle of the concert there was a gentle arm holding his back and he paid no mind to it until there was a part of the show that u had to put ur arms around each other so he thought it was about time to know what this person looks like.. AND IT TURNED OUT TO BE A GUY PROTECTING HIS GIRLFRIEND FROM BUMPING INTO JIHOON’S HIGH ENERGY BODY EUSHSJSH HE WAS PROTECTING HIS GIRLFRIEND NOT HIM 😭😭😭😭 he thought he was having his y/n moment im cackling 🐶 thinking about it now, since it was standing, i was pushing forward getting pushed around pushing people back getting pushed backward. u know, just constantly pushing and getting pushed 🐶 but at some point, maybe about an hour after the show started? 🐶 everyone started headbanging together. we were all headbanging and then… i felt this really gentle hand behind me. someone was kind of supporting me while headbanging. i could feel this really gentle touch on my back 🐶 i was thinking to myself “what is this?” u know? i was just doing my thing, doing what I came there to do, just going crazy and all that 🐶 but from then on whenever i was watching the show and we were jumping around or doing something, i kept feeling this really gentle hand behind me. like this really considerate hand 🐶 so i thought “ is this person worried about me? are they looking out for me?” 🐶 then during “Stand Out Fit In” when everyone was trying to put their arms around each other’s shoulders.. i turned around. i thought “ah i should see who this person is” 🐶 i turned around because i wanted to put my arm around this person’s shoulder.. with the thought that “who is this person that keeps taking care of me like this?” 🐶 but then I realized… the guy was actually holding his girlfriend in his arms. and because i was being so freaking intense, he was blocking me so that i wouldn’t bump into his girlfriend 🐶 i guess his left and right sides were just synchronized, you know? his left arm and right arm were moving together, so while he was taking care of his girlfriend like this, that same motion ended up taking care of me too. 🐶 “AH SO THAT’S WHY” and i got all embarrassed. like “ah okay that makes sense” feeling kinda awkward 🐶 he had his girlfriend tucked right into his arms, holding her close, and then he was using his right arm to support me”

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”
