Famously ordinary celebrities
Be aware. If it’s happened to you, it’s happened to them:
Jude Law auditioning at 13 was mistaken for a girl “because of my pretty looks.” He says: “In the play ‘Indiscretions’ I had to go onstage naked. My character’s getting out of his bath — and opening night the crew had poured in ice water.”
Halle Berry: “I’ve dreamt that while talking my teeth flew out of my mouth and I have to run around trying to catch them.”
Nic Cage: “My repetitive nightmare is a large-size laughing woman in a gold bikini reaching through the window and snatching me off the toilet.”
Kevin Bacon: “It’s a lifetime of food jokes. ‘Sizzling Bacon’ or ‘out of the frying pan’ or ‘bringing home the Bacon.’ Filming ‘The River Wild’ with Meryl Streep in Montana the coffee shop menu special was ‘hamburger with two strips of Bacon.’ ”
Courtney Love told this to the San Francisco Examiner: “October 2002, after removing my breast implants, I kept them as souvenirs and took them home. My dog ended up choking on one of my implants.”
Dick Van Dyke approached a girl who said, “Your fly is undone.” He says: “My nose then blew all over my shirt. We eventually married on a radio show which paid for the rings, household appliances and honeymoon. We were so poor we lived inside our car.”
Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious could not figure how to get his hair to stay straight. His methods included lying upside down with his head in the oven. Never occurred to him to use hair spray.
Blender magazine: Willie Nelson drowned early difficulties in alcohol. “In Nashville I got so drunk that I laid down in the snow and waited for a car to come along. After some time I got discouraged, eventually got up and bought another round of drinks.”
Richard Pryor was born in a brothel. His mother wasn’t surprised at the location because it’s where she worked. His father was the handyman. Grandma the house madam.
Ashton Kutcher won the Fresh Faces of Iowa contest, began modeling in New York, moved to LA, then dating Demi Moore. Among his high school jobs? Skinning deer for a local butcher shop.
‘Roofman’ nails down its role
Wait. More winners in the movies. “Roofman.” About breaking into a McDonald’s for apple pie and some cash. It had a Toronto Film Festival premiere.
Leading man Channing Tatum: “True story about someone talented at lying. We shot in Charlotte, NC, near where the thing really happened. Peter Dinklage plays the bad guy.”
Dinklage: “I love what I do for a living. Like finding new stories. This one’s fascinating.”
Let’s all try to calm yourselves until Oct. 10 when it officially opens.
A lawyer says hello to you it costs $800. Call girls are cheaper. Attorneys now charge if they dream about you. In the same elevator while he’s thinking about you it’s double time. One received a client’s birthday gift. He didn’t like it. He sent her a bill with: “For time spent — returning your tie.”
Mostly only in New York, kids, only in New York.
