<v Speaker 1>Miss Spelling with Tory Spelling and iHeartRadio podcast.

0:00:15.280 --> 0:00:19.720
<v Speaker 2>Hi, Hello, how are you good? Good?

<v Speaker 3>Thanks? I'm in Sweden actually visiting. This is extremely red

0:00:24.400 --> 0:00:25.599
<v Speaker 3>room here that I'm in.

0:00:26.760 --> 0:00:27.880
<v Speaker 2>I like the red room.

0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:30.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:00:30.680 --> 0:00:31.960
<v Speaker 2>Are you and your wife there?

0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:38.120
<v Speaker 3>Yes? Yeah? Vacation business, vacation mostly got a little business,

0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:43.440
<v Speaker 3>but most of vacation visit. My daughter's uh one lives

0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:48.080
<v Speaker 3>in Spain, in Greece with her boyfriend in Athens. We're

0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:50.080
<v Speaker 3>going next week, and the other ones in Marbella.

0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:56.280
<v Speaker 1>My goodness, how did like the legendary dude of all dude,

0:00:56.840 --> 0:00:59.640
<v Speaker 1>like villain of all villain wind up with two daughters?

0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:00.840
<v Speaker 2>Boys?

0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:06.680
<v Speaker 3>You know what they call it? What fighter's curse? You

0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:07.399
<v Speaker 3>ever heard of that?

0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:08.200
<v Speaker 2>Now?

0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:14.319
<v Speaker 3>Fighter still lone. A few other friends of mine they

0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:17.880
<v Speaker 3>have daughters. They get daughters. It's like nature's trying to

0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:25.479
<v Speaker 3>balance your testosterone by taking your genes and carrying them

0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:27.160
<v Speaker 3>on in a female version.

0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:30.600
<v Speaker 2>You know. Huh? Is that fighter's curse or just karma?

0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:34.080
<v Speaker 3>Fighter's curse? I think it may be karma. I mean,

0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:38.920
<v Speaker 3>I'm glad to have daughters because it's much easier. I

0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:45.120
<v Speaker 3>think it's more, more less complicated. I think between father's daughters.

0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:49.920
<v Speaker 3>Father's sons can be can get complex they try to

0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:52.880
<v Speaker 3>live up to something, especially if you're a you know,

0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:56.360
<v Speaker 3>an action action start in a movie. Then you know,

0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:59.080
<v Speaker 3>your son can can have a hard time maybe, But

0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:03.320
<v Speaker 3>for daughters, it's just kind of pure, pure, more pure love.

0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:06.760
<v Speaker 1>I think in the attraction, you know, are they daddy's girls?

0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:11.400
<v Speaker 1>I think so you're all girls daddy's girls? Do you

0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:15.839
<v Speaker 1>think everybody? Uh?

0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:18.960
<v Speaker 3>I would hope. So. I mean, look, if you have

0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:26.120
<v Speaker 3>a healthy relationship in your you can't exist our daddy's girls.

0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:30.680
<v Speaker 3>But I mean, obviously you know that can be depending

0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:34.040
<v Speaker 3>on the daddy or the kid, mostly the father. If

0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:36.920
<v Speaker 3>you don't play your cards right, then you know you

0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:39.320
<v Speaker 3>could end up having a major conflict there too.

0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:41.519
<v Speaker 2>Do you just say, daddy one more time?

0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:42.680
<v Speaker 3>Daddy?

0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:46.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh that was hot? Anyway, I digressed.

0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:51.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm such a fangirl, Like, oh my gosh, sorry, I'm

0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:55.080
<v Speaker 1>like a little fangirling right now because like the young

0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:59.000
<v Speaker 1>version of me, like in the eighties, I don't know,

0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:03.360
<v Speaker 1>like like the Rocky movies. I just remember, it wasn't

0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:06.040
<v Speaker 1>something I would be into, like you know, I like

0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:09.040
<v Speaker 1>chick flicks and rom coms and whatever they were called.

0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:12.720
<v Speaker 1>John Hughes movies back in the eighties, and I watched

0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:16.480
<v Speaker 1>them because my dad was so into them, and I

0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:19.440
<v Speaker 1>fell in love with them, Like I have seen every

0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:24.920
<v Speaker 1>single one multiple times on my own and for a

0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:28.080
<v Speaker 1>girl like I don't know, I would just cry and

0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:32.280
<v Speaker 1>I'd have crushes and I'd be like championing everyone, and

0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:33.799
<v Speaker 1>like I.

0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:35.400
<v Speaker 2>Had a bit of a crush on you because you

0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:35.840
<v Speaker 2>were blonde.

0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:37.880
<v Speaker 1>I always died Mary a blonde boy because I wanted

0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:40.640
<v Speaker 1>a blonde boys because I'm not naturally blonde, and I

0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:41.720
<v Speaker 1>just want blonde kids.

0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:44.920
<v Speaker 2>But it looks good, Oh my hair.

0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:46.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah it looks good.

0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:50.160
<v Speaker 2>Thanks doll, appreciate that.

0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:56.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well, okay, Rocky movies' is, like I said, A

0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:59.160
<v Speaker 3>stallone said, you don't have to know anything about boxing

0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:02.840
<v Speaker 3>to enjoy movie because it's about life. It's about the

0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:06.440
<v Speaker 3>challenge of life. And I think some people are more

0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:10.880
<v Speaker 3>compelled by it because I think maybe they're more fighters

0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:14.520
<v Speaker 3>in their own life. Maybe they have that attitude fighters attitude,

0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:19.640
<v Speaker 3>and perhaps they're more they try to learn something from

0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:20.240
<v Speaker 3>those films.

0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:26.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, It's true. It just inspires you on any level. So, Mike,

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:30.839
<v Speaker 1>I have five kids. They're eighteen seventeen, thirteen, twelve, and

0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:35.360
<v Speaker 1>eight and I have five kids.

0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:37.440
<v Speaker 3>Well you look great for five kids. I'll tell you.

0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh thanks my bottom hat, but yeah, no thanks. It

0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:46.239
<v Speaker 2>definitely keeps me on my toes.

0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:52.520
<v Speaker 1>I have three boys, two girls, and it's so wild.

0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:53.280
<v Speaker 2>They're all so.

0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:58.919
<v Speaker 1>Unique and it's just it's such a fun journey. But

0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:01.880
<v Speaker 1>I recently so I've been going back because my kids,

0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:05.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, with TikTok and YouTube, everything that was our

0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:09.520
<v Speaker 1>generation is now coming back in. You know, they see

0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:12.080
<v Speaker 1>the memes and the clips and they and they are

0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:16.719
<v Speaker 1>interested in our lives back then. What was you know,

0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:20.880
<v Speaker 1>good you know, good movies and TV to us. But

0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:25.080
<v Speaker 1>so my eight year old I just started him watching Rocky,

0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:27.880
<v Speaker 1>not because of this interview, just in general, because I

0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:30.800
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh my gosh, you would love this so much.

0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:33.680
<v Speaker 1>And they still stand up.

0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:34.680
<v Speaker 2>They really do.

0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:37.840
<v Speaker 1>Like you know, my kids watch my show nine o

0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:40.600
<v Speaker 1>two and oh and they're like, oh, it's grainy, something's

0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:41.560
<v Speaker 1>wrong with the screen.

0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:43.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh it's really slow.

0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:47.440
<v Speaker 1>But you know Rocky, which is you know before nine

0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:50.680
<v Speaker 1>o two and oh in the eighties, Like it stands up.

0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:52.400
<v Speaker 2>They love it.

0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:58.080
<v Speaker 3>Great. No, I think you're right. I think some some

0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:00.719
<v Speaker 3>in the movie, especially Rocky for some reason, because it

0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:04.880
<v Speaker 3>has the visual language was very, very kind of extreme,

0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:08.359
<v Speaker 3>and lighting and the way it's cut together with the

0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:12.599
<v Speaker 3>slow mo and the dissults and the free frames everything

0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:15.480
<v Speaker 3>the way it was done, it kind of holds up

0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:20.279
<v Speaker 3>pretty well, I think. And also I believe, you know,

0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:23.240
<v Speaker 3>when I think back in my life, I was interested

0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:26.599
<v Speaker 3>in movies that were made before I was born, too,

0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:30.120
<v Speaker 3>Like what did I my dad what he used to watch?

0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:32.839
<v Speaker 3>I used to be kind of fascinated by that, So,

0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:35.719
<v Speaker 3>you know. At the same time, I'm sure your kids

0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:39.159
<v Speaker 3>we're kind of interested in the time that you grew

0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:42.080
<v Speaker 3>up when you were young, because it's that heritage, you know,

0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:44.280
<v Speaker 3>And I think maybe that's part of it.

0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:48.480
<v Speaker 2>Too, definitely, But they think I'm old.

0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:51.400
<v Speaker 1>Like my eight year old asked me the other day,

0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:54.880
<v Speaker 1>did they have Chucky cheeses back.

0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:55.360
<v Speaker 2>In your day?

0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:57.839
<v Speaker 3>Like rocket my day?

0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:02.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm like yes, and he's like, really, so it's been

0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:04.480
<v Speaker 1>around a really long time, like it's old.

0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:09.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, well, that's life, isn't it. How it'll all change,

0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:14.200
<v Speaker 3>I mean, the perspective changes. Like I was even today,

0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:17.400
<v Speaker 3>I was talking to somebody about the fact that you know,

0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:21.400
<v Speaker 3>when I was a kid. I remember there was an

0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:24.960
<v Speaker 3>anniversary for the end of World War Two. I think

0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:29.720
<v Speaker 3>it was twenty five year anniversary. And that's like something

0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:33.559
<v Speaker 3>that ended in two thousands now, so that's how close

0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:36.240
<v Speaker 3>it was. Like two thousand doesn't seem that long ago.

0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:39.560
<v Speaker 3>But when I was a kid, and I remember people

0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:42.480
<v Speaker 3>were watching on TV and everybody were in Normandy and

0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:45.400
<v Speaker 3>all that, and of course it was only twenty five

0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:47.600
<v Speaker 3>years ago, it was like around the corner. But you know,

0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:49.720
<v Speaker 3>for a kid, it seems like ages ago.

0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:54.400
<v Speaker 1>It seems ages ago. I know there's that thing where

0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:58.000
<v Speaker 1>it's like it all went so fast, but it all

0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:01.360
<v Speaker 1>went so slow. It's like, really, I don't know, it's

0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:05.200
<v Speaker 1>that thing. I think it's different for women than men aging,

0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:09.040
<v Speaker 1>especially in the in the spotlight as actors.

0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:15.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you look the same, like you don't age.

0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:17.640
<v Speaker 3>Not really, but no, but I think, let.

0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:19.360
<v Speaker 2>Me see them again. Wait, I just want to see

0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:22.040
<v Speaker 2>them up close and personal. Oh, there they are.

0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:23.960
<v Speaker 3>So do you.

0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:29.600
<v Speaker 2>Ensure your biceps? What have you ensured your bic No?

0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:33.320
<v Speaker 3>I didn't actually a good idea flunger and why, I'll

0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:34.040
<v Speaker 3>think about it.

0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:35.000
<v Speaker 2>I'll get on that.

0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:39.040
<v Speaker 3>I intend to keep them where they are, But yeah,

0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:43.600
<v Speaker 3>I think that for women with some women age really well,

0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:47.440
<v Speaker 3>and uh, you know, it takes an effort. You probably

0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:51.120
<v Speaker 3>know it takes effort and takes dedication to take care

0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:52.760
<v Speaker 3>of yourself as you get older. I mean, a lot

0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:55.800
<v Speaker 3>of people let themselves go. And if you don't, if

0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:59.520
<v Speaker 3>you're a little more focused, then you can stay young

0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:03.760
<v Speaker 3>as a man or a woman. You know, I'm just

0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:08.439
<v Speaker 3>thinking of I did a movie called Aquaman and Nicole

0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:12.200
<v Speaker 3>Kidman's in it, and you know, she looks you know,

0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:14.880
<v Speaker 3>she always looks good on film, but when you see

0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:17.000
<v Speaker 3>her in person, she looks great too, and she's like,

0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:20.679
<v Speaker 3>you know, I mean, she's not as old as I am,

0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:24.400
<v Speaker 3>bit close, so, you know, and I was impressed by

0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:26.280
<v Speaker 3>the fact that she looked very fit, and she looked

0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:29.199
<v Speaker 3>very very youthful, even the way she carries herself.

0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:30.640
<v Speaker 2>You know, what's her secret?

0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:31.920
<v Speaker 3>My secret?

0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:36.880
<v Speaker 2>Not your secret, Nicole Kidman, her secrets? What do you think?

0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:41.760
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. I'm not sure where her secret is.

0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:45.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you're you're like one of the smartest men alive.

0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:46.120
<v Speaker 2>You must know.

0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:50.400
<v Speaker 1>There's some engineering going on scientifically, Like what is it?

0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:53.120
<v Speaker 3>Some of it's genetics, I think some of it is

0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:57.520
<v Speaker 3>is training and diect and the other one is probably

0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:02.200
<v Speaker 3>staying youthful in your mind. You know, if you're an actor,

0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:06.280
<v Speaker 3>usually being creative, you work with younger people, you're you know,

0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:11.240
<v Speaker 3>you're playful, you have fun, you enjoy the moment, and

0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:13.240
<v Speaker 3>you don't get caught up in the past too much.

0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:15.480
<v Speaker 3>So I think those things help, you know.

0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:21.000
<v Speaker 1>That's true. Yeah, I feel like she's a free spirit.

0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:24.960
<v Speaker 1>She's Yeah, she's in everything every movie.

0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:28.839
<v Speaker 3>I know, I know, I know, it's crazy wild. When

0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:32.360
<v Speaker 3>I worked with her on I Can on the On

0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:34.960
<v Speaker 3>the sequel, she came. We did as we have to

0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:37.480
<v Speaker 3>reshoot a scene and shot on the stage at Warner

0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:42.080
<v Speaker 3>Brothers in La and I was tired. I've had some

0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:44.959
<v Speaker 3>surgery on my ankles, so I came in on crutches.

0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:48.320
<v Speaker 3>But you know, of course she can't just prop me

0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:51.280
<v Speaker 3>up and shoot this part. But she had, she had

0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:55.520
<v Speaker 3>done it. Came straight from somewhere Australia, I guess, and

0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:58.680
<v Speaker 3>did a night shoot and had worked two nights in

0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:02.440
<v Speaker 3>a row, and she came straight from shooting Knights onto

0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:08.640
<v Speaker 3>this set. It's like, man, that's that's rough. You know.

0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:11.400
<v Speaker 3>I wouldn't I would try to avoid that. If it

0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:14.160
<v Speaker 3>was me, I wouldn't do it that way. But I

0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:15.640
<v Speaker 3>guess she loves she loves working.

0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:17.400
<v Speaker 2>You know, women are warriors.

0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:27.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, yeah were you.

0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:31.560
<v Speaker 1>Were you a fan of the Rocky franchise before Rocky four?

0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:35.240
<v Speaker 3>I was, Yeah, I watched the First Rocky.

0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:37.920
<v Speaker 2>I came over on you didn't sell that for real?

0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:42.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I came over here to America. Sorry, I'm Sweedena,

0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:46.520
<v Speaker 3>but I came to America as an student when I

0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:52.880
<v Speaker 3>was eighteen, and I went to watch Rocky the First

0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:56.640
<v Speaker 3>Rocky in the theater. And this is right after that

0:11:56.920 --> 0:12:02.720
<v Speaker 3>I ran hostage crisis. You remember, America was kind of

0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:07.560
<v Speaker 3>not very patriotic. It was a kind of a low

0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:12.280
<v Speaker 3>period in the country's self esteem, I would say after

0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:15.640
<v Speaker 3>the Vietnam War ended, and that was in seventy five

0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:17.520
<v Speaker 3>and ended. It was like a year or two later,

0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:19.679
<v Speaker 3>and the movie came out, and that was in the

0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:22.640
<v Speaker 3>theater and I still remember how people are cheering, and

0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:25.640
<v Speaker 3>it was you know, the Rocky. The First Rocky was

0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:30.400
<v Speaker 3>came out during the bicentennial celebrations right nineteen seventy six,

0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:32.800
<v Speaker 3>I believe, so, you know, it was a big, kind

0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:34.520
<v Speaker 3>of a big moment. I was a fan of that.

0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:38.760
<v Speaker 3>Then Rocky three I watched when I was in Australia

0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:41.760
<v Speaker 3>on a scholarship studying engineering. I was there and I

0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:45.960
<v Speaker 3>was fighting karate championships and I listened to some of

0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:48.840
<v Speaker 3>the Iva Tiger some of the music getting ready for

0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:52.679
<v Speaker 3>my fight, and little did I know I was going

0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:54.280
<v Speaker 3>to be in the next one. But you know, only

0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:56.439
<v Speaker 3>three years later, So it was kind of.

0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:00.319
<v Speaker 2>Bizarre that happened so wild.

0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:05.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I know there it's like bittersweet, like because

0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:07.160
<v Speaker 1>we want to talk about it because it's what made

0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:10.880
<v Speaker 1>us made our careers. But sometimes it's like, do you

0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:15.040
<v Speaker 1>feel like you ever get tired of talking about Rocky.

0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:18.920
<v Speaker 2>Usually it's a load of question. I could have worded

0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:20.240
<v Speaker 2>it better, you know.

0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:23.520
<v Speaker 3>No, sometimes I get a little tired of it, but

0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:30.080
<v Speaker 3>not really. I mean I appreciate the people, you know,

0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:37.400
<v Speaker 3>being the adoration or the fanboys and girls and people

0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:43.000
<v Speaker 3>you know liking my work and as that character. I yeah,

0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:45.240
<v Speaker 3>I don't mind. I mean I think that, you know,

0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:48.000
<v Speaker 3>I've done a lot of other things. Some people prefer

0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:49.880
<v Speaker 3>the Masters of the Universe, or.

0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:53.480
<v Speaker 2>Maybe you know you're he Man, like come on, he.

0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:57.760
<v Speaker 3>Man, or if they're like Aquaman if they're younger people,

0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:01.240
<v Speaker 3>they younger kids, they maybe seen Aquaman or some But

0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:05.360
<v Speaker 3>I also believe that first time you come on screen,

0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:08.320
<v Speaker 3>especially if you're unknown, and when people see you the

0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:12.960
<v Speaker 3>first time, whether it's Stallone as Rocky or Arnold as

0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:16.920
<v Speaker 3>Conan and people, it just kind of gets burnt into

0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:20.640
<v Speaker 3>your consciousness as the moviegoer, because especially in those days,

0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:23.800
<v Speaker 3>it was the big screen, and you know, you really

0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:27.720
<v Speaker 3>believe that person's character existed, and it's it's hard to

0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:30.760
<v Speaker 3>get over that. So I don't I understand why it's

0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:31.200
<v Speaker 3>like that.

0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:36.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, absolutely, did you speak English when you first

0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:37.880
<v Speaker 1>came to America.

0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:41.440
<v Speaker 3>I spoke a little bit. I came to study engineering

0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:45.560
<v Speaker 3>when I was eighteen. Then I went back to Sweden

0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:49.240
<v Speaker 3>and I came back again, studied twice. I came back

0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:51.560
<v Speaker 3>studied more engineering.

0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:54.320
<v Speaker 2>And scholarship MIT right, Yeah, I.

0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:57.880
<v Speaker 3>Was MIT towards the end. So I spoke English.

0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:02.440
<v Speaker 2>But if you had gone that route, what if.

0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:05.480
<v Speaker 3>I would have been I would have been a different life.

0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:10.240
<v Speaker 3>I would have I don't know, shaking test tubes. I

0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:14.120
<v Speaker 3>would probably been running an oil company or something. I

0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:19.840
<v Speaker 3>had kind of ideas of doing the master's in Business

0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:25.520
<v Speaker 3>administration and then running becoming a company corporate guy or

0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:31.080
<v Speaker 3>a CEO or something. And I'm kind of doing it

0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:34.680
<v Speaker 3>now in a roundabout way with this liquor company I have.

0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:39.040
<v Speaker 3>But you know, I think I would have missed out.

0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:40.720
<v Speaker 3>I don't think I would have been happy. I had

0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:44.200
<v Speaker 3>a lot of traumas in my childhood, a lot of

0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:48.520
<v Speaker 3>issues to deal with, and I think acting was a

0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:51.840
<v Speaker 3>way for me to express that. And so much martial arts,

0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:53.800
<v Speaker 3>but acting was the better way to do it.

0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:56.080
<v Speaker 2>Wow, you in a suit?

0:15:56.120 --> 0:16:00.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh, every day I can picture it.

0:16:00.720 --> 0:16:03.760
<v Speaker 2>So was your first movie? View to a Kill?

0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:05.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:06.880
<v Speaker 2>I love that movie?

0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:07.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:10.400
<v Speaker 2>You two favorite James Bond movie.

0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:15.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Roger Moore, Christopher walk and Grace Jones was in

0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:18.600
<v Speaker 3>it and I was dating her at the time. And

0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:21.880
<v Speaker 3>you know, I was there hanging out on set and

0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:25.080
<v Speaker 3>some guy didn't show up for work and they kind

0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:27.680
<v Speaker 3>of looked around to find the replacement for a guy

0:16:27.720 --> 0:16:30.080
<v Speaker 3>to just play a bodyguard, and I look the part.

0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:32.880
<v Speaker 3>So I got that role. I was in it for

0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:37.120
<v Speaker 3>like twenty seconds with Grace and Chris. Chris walkin and

0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:39.880
<v Speaker 3>I met him. He was very nice, very nice and interesting.

0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:43.640
<v Speaker 3>You know, watched his acting and I'd started some acting

0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:46.320
<v Speaker 3>at the time too, so I was watching him as

0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:50.920
<v Speaker 3>he was preparing and and how he kind of would

0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:56.840
<v Speaker 3>change his attitude, you know, from the rehearsal, and then

0:16:56.880 --> 0:16:59.680
<v Speaker 3>he would totally do one eighty and all the other

0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:02.000
<v Speaker 3>actors was shocked. I didn't know how to respond to me.

0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:03.280
<v Speaker 2>Really, I've never heard that.

0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:07.919
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah he did. He would. He never would the

0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:12.080
<v Speaker 3>way I saw it, anyway, he wouldn't. He didn't really

0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:14.200
<v Speaker 3>give much in the rehearsal and he didn't know what

0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:16.480
<v Speaker 3>was going to happen. But you know, when the cameras

0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:19.639
<v Speaker 3>came on, he would have all kinds of impulses and

0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:24.600
<v Speaker 3>it was very interesting, like very very very explosive. You know,

0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:27.280
<v Speaker 3>his acting is very unpredictable.

0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:30.600
<v Speaker 2>You know that is so cool. Oh my gosh.

0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:35.520
<v Speaker 1>You and Grace Jones were such an iconic couple. You were,

0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:39.320
<v Speaker 1>and it's interesting when I think of the two of you,

0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:41.520
<v Speaker 1>like I have a visual in my mind of the

0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:45.240
<v Speaker 1>two of you and like a paparazzi and it's fashion.

0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:47.679
<v Speaker 1>I think fashion, when when I think the two of you,

0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:48.800
<v Speaker 1>is that weird?

0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:54.080
<v Speaker 3>No, I think you're right. She was obviously always very

0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:57.520
<v Speaker 3>fashionably dressed, and she helped me. You know, I met

0:17:57.560 --> 0:18:01.679
<v Speaker 3>different designers and I would get stuff them like Brisa

0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:04.399
<v Speaker 3>she would make me a jacket, or Kenzo would do

0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:07.640
<v Speaker 3>something or you know, I wore a lot of Milano

0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:10.720
<v Speaker 3>Blanic and hadman's shoes too in those days. I don't

0:18:10.720 --> 0:18:12.800
<v Speaker 3>know if they did still do, but yeah, it was

0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:15.359
<v Speaker 3>very fashionable. Plus we were always in a cool place

0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:19.520
<v Speaker 3>at fifty four Area, and the photography in those days

0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:24.680
<v Speaker 3>was also you know, even the paparazzis they had had

0:18:24.760 --> 0:18:27.600
<v Speaker 3>talent and made of stuff looked really cool. Yeah right,

0:18:27.800 --> 0:18:30.800
<v Speaker 3>you know, And yeah, so it has like a fashion

0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:33.679
<v Speaker 3>sense to it. And I think the fact that she

0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:37.360
<v Speaker 3>was dark and I was blonde, and there's like there's

0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:41.320
<v Speaker 3>some kind of graphic kind of statement there that that

0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:42.760
<v Speaker 3>also looks fashionable.

0:18:43.119 --> 0:18:45.639
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh, imagine the two of you a couple

0:18:45.760 --> 0:18:50.240
<v Speaker 1>present day. Your age is back then, but now out

0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:52.280
<v Speaker 1>like paparazzi all over you guys.

0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:54.840
<v Speaker 2>It would be in social media, social media. I mean,

0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:58.240
<v Speaker 2>it'd be a whole different ballgame. It'd be wild.

0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:01.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you're right, yeah, it would be. It was. It

0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:06.040
<v Speaker 3>was unusual and even before I was in the movies,

0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:08.760
<v Speaker 3>I you know, I was with her and we went

0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:11.560
<v Speaker 3>to fifty four in these places and people did.

0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:13.640
<v Speaker 2>Study of fifty four.

0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:18.119
<v Speaker 3>My gosh, yeah, yeah, it was do you ever get

0:19:18.160 --> 0:19:21.080
<v Speaker 3>a lime light? Oh yeah, I worked there. It was

0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:27.080
<v Speaker 3>a dark yeah. Asia bouncer in the front there, and

0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:34.000
<v Speaker 3>Charles Palmieri another actor he was, he was in the back. Yeah,

0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:37.080
<v Speaker 3>this is it was that period. You know they say

0:19:37.119 --> 0:19:39.679
<v Speaker 3>when I first came, I came to New York eighty

0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:43.680
<v Speaker 3>to eighty three. So there was the period where it's

0:19:43.760 --> 0:19:46.919
<v Speaker 3>right for age. So it's like they say, the period

0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:52.359
<v Speaker 3>between what is it the invention of the pill and age?

0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:56.119
<v Speaker 3>There is a period where you know, the nightlife was

0:19:56.200 --> 0:19:59.720
<v Speaker 3>kind of wild and people weren't didn't have any inhibitions.

0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:03.480
<v Speaker 3>There were no there were no iPhones. There were you know,

0:20:03.520 --> 0:20:05.879
<v Speaker 3>if you went to a club, they weren't gonna have

0:20:05.920 --> 0:20:08.479
<v Speaker 3>some photographers run around and take pictures of Mick Jagger

0:20:09.000 --> 0:20:13.240
<v Speaker 3>or anybody you know doing anything illegal. It was never

0:20:13.280 --> 0:20:15.520
<v Speaker 3>going to get out and if you try to sell

0:20:15.560 --> 0:20:19.160
<v Speaker 3>it to some magazine, they wouldn't buy it anyway. But

0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:22.679
<v Speaker 3>you know, it slowly all of that changed. So when I

0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:24.560
<v Speaker 3>went out to a club, you know, Prince would be

0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:28.200
<v Speaker 3>there and Michael Jackson whoever was, and you know, people

0:20:28.280 --> 0:20:32.760
<v Speaker 3>were like relaxed and they could be be themselves, you know,

0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:36.720
<v Speaker 3>which now only maybe in a private party with that happened,

0:20:36.720 --> 0:20:38.760
<v Speaker 3>but I don't think would happen in the club anymore.

0:20:39.119 --> 0:20:44.120
<v Speaker 1>Which female celebrities hit on you and you think like, hmm,

0:20:44.320 --> 0:20:45.960
<v Speaker 1>maybe I should have gone out with them.

0:20:46.440 --> 0:20:50.440
<v Speaker 2>Back in the day. Oh all of them?

0:20:51.160 --> 0:20:57.600
<v Speaker 3>All of them. Who did I run into? Well, Iman

0:20:57.840 --> 0:21:00.760
<v Speaker 3>was kind of cute. She was a friend of Grace's.

0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:03.439
<v Speaker 2>Kind of cute, hot hot.

0:21:03.560 --> 0:21:08.840
<v Speaker 3>There was I ran into, uh, I remember I ran

0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:14.560
<v Speaker 3>into reck Well, Well some party she was, but she

0:21:14.680 --> 0:21:16.800
<v Speaker 3>must have been I thought about it. She you know,

0:21:17.000 --> 0:21:19.879
<v Speaker 3>probably wasn't more than like late thirties or maybe forty

0:21:19.960 --> 0:21:22.960
<v Speaker 3>or something now, but she was quite hot, and.

0:21:22.920 --> 0:21:25.080
<v Speaker 2>You were just a young buck I.

0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:32.760
<v Speaker 3>Was, Yeah, I was. But well, models around, you know,

0:21:32.800 --> 0:21:38.199
<v Speaker 3>a lot of models. Was that Chracy Grillo had. She

0:21:38.359 --> 0:21:40.920
<v Speaker 3>had a sister was a model. I'm trying to remember

0:21:40.920 --> 0:21:43.080
<v Speaker 3>her name though. Anyway, Well, there were a.

0:21:43.000 --> 0:21:46.320
<v Speaker 1>Few, Oh my god, the eighties that was like the

0:21:46.320 --> 0:21:48.359
<v Speaker 1>most iconic time for models.

0:21:48.400 --> 0:21:54.639
<v Speaker 3>Like, yeah, you're right, because the models were were sexyre

0:21:54.760 --> 0:21:59.280
<v Speaker 3>they looked more feminine, They weren't this kind of they

0:21:59.280 --> 0:22:04.840
<v Speaker 3>still the started that kind of what's it called, like

0:22:05.440 --> 0:22:14.120
<v Speaker 3>metrosexual or like andrown and drogens looks more.

0:22:12.680 --> 0:22:14.959
<v Speaker 2>And now obscure is in.

0:22:15.840 --> 0:22:22.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah Knowmi Campbell and uh, you know Cindy Crawford and

0:22:22.640 --> 0:22:24.840
<v Speaker 3>Linda Evangelista, all this girls.

0:22:25.000 --> 0:22:29.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh, imagine you with Claudia Schiffer. It would

0:22:29.080 --> 0:22:35.159
<v Speaker 1>have been Ken and Barbie machine version like the version.

0:22:37.240 --> 0:22:39.199
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And I was lucky you got to work with

0:22:39.480 --> 0:22:43.359
<v Speaker 3>the photographers, you know, like her Ritz and Helma Newton

0:22:43.480 --> 0:22:45.920
<v Speaker 3>and Greg Gorman, all of those guys. You know.

0:22:48.520 --> 0:22:50.720
<v Speaker 2>Andy Warhol, Anie World.

0:22:50.800 --> 0:22:54.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he took some of my first pictures with Andy Warhold.

0:22:55.040 --> 0:22:59.119
<v Speaker 3>He he just had his knack of picking finding people

0:22:59.160 --> 0:23:03.320
<v Speaker 3>that had even I wouldn't say talent, but had some

0:23:03.320 --> 0:23:06.359
<v Speaker 3>something an X factor. Like he picked me out in

0:23:06.400 --> 0:23:10.480
<v Speaker 3>the club. Yeah. Grace wasn't even there. He was just

0:23:11.640 --> 0:23:13.800
<v Speaker 3>I just saw this little guy with white hair come

0:23:13.880 --> 0:23:16.639
<v Speaker 3>up to me and go, Hi, what are you famous for?

0:23:16.760 --> 0:23:19.959
<v Speaker 3>And I'm like, nothing as far as I know. And

0:23:20.000 --> 0:23:22.560
<v Speaker 3>he's like, took a picture of me, and they said,

0:23:22.600 --> 0:23:24.280
<v Speaker 3>I want to put you in my magazine. And then

0:23:24.320 --> 0:23:26.639
<v Speaker 3>Grace showed up and I realized it was Andy Worrel

0:23:26.760 --> 0:23:31.159
<v Speaker 3>and then we ended up doing a spread for for

0:23:31.359 --> 0:23:32.880
<v Speaker 3>Interview magazine.

0:23:32.480 --> 0:23:36.760
<v Speaker 2>Which is fun iconic. I want to see that photo.

0:23:38.720 --> 0:23:40.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I don't know what happened to it. I think

0:23:40.760 --> 0:23:43.600
<v Speaker 3>it was in his instamatic, but we did do a

0:23:43.640 --> 0:23:49.480
<v Speaker 3>shoot with and and Andrew Watson were Interview. And then

0:23:49.520 --> 0:23:55.080
<v Speaker 3>also he had this other buddy, Chris macOS, who's a

0:23:55.119 --> 0:23:58.879
<v Speaker 3>great photographer. And I don't know if I think Grace

0:23:59.000 --> 0:24:02.520
<v Speaker 3>told me or I found out later, because I remember

0:24:02.720 --> 0:24:04.639
<v Speaker 3>going to the photo shooting and it was always like,

0:24:05.840 --> 0:24:09.399
<v Speaker 3>uh okay, you know, wearing a T shirt. And then

0:24:09.440 --> 0:24:11.840
<v Speaker 3>it would be like, hey, what if we do some

0:24:11.880 --> 0:24:16.720
<v Speaker 3>pictures without the T shirt? You know? Uh okay, hey

0:24:16.800 --> 0:24:19.840
<v Speaker 3>what if you just down to like underwear, you know,

0:24:19.960 --> 0:24:22.440
<v Speaker 3>with that look? And then you know, I found out

0:24:22.520 --> 0:24:27.040
<v Speaker 3>that there was some kind of bets between him and

0:24:27.040 --> 0:24:30.240
<v Speaker 3>Andy about how much if there was a guy coming in,

0:24:30.320 --> 0:24:34.920
<v Speaker 3>how much would they remove, you know, and and some

0:24:34.920 --> 0:24:39.520
<v Speaker 3>something like and then sort of reporting on the on

0:24:39.560 --> 0:24:42.320
<v Speaker 3>the on the guy's talents, if you know what I mean.

0:24:42.840 --> 0:24:47.399
<v Speaker 3>So of course Grace showed up at some point in

0:24:47.400 --> 0:24:50.119
<v Speaker 3>the fur coats, you know, to stop, you know, she

0:24:50.280 --> 0:24:56.320
<v Speaker 3>got stops. It was like, no, stop that. So, I

0:24:56.760 --> 0:24:58.680
<v Speaker 3>you know, it was tough when you were a kid,

0:24:58.760 --> 0:25:01.960
<v Speaker 3>and it's nice boy, you didn't really understand what was

0:25:02.000 --> 0:25:05.000
<v Speaker 3>going on. I mean I didn't really had no experience.

0:25:05.040 --> 0:25:08.480
<v Speaker 3>I didn't. I didn't really I didn't get it, you know,

0:25:08.680 --> 0:25:11.200
<v Speaker 3>but it took me a while to figure it out.

0:25:11.480 --> 0:25:14.600
<v Speaker 1>And Grace Jones was sorry, I'll move on for a second,

0:25:14.600 --> 0:25:16.280
<v Speaker 1>but this is just so iconic to me.

0:25:16.400 --> 0:25:16.880
<v Speaker 2>Sorry.

0:25:17.200 --> 0:25:20.879
<v Speaker 1>I mean, she was known for pushing the envelope fashion wise,

0:25:21.119 --> 0:25:24.280
<v Speaker 1>and she gorgeous, stunning.

0:25:24.400 --> 0:25:25.439
<v Speaker 2>How tall was she?

0:25:27.640 --> 0:25:30.240
<v Speaker 3>Probably as tall as people think the shows were these,

0:25:30.280 --> 0:25:34.240
<v Speaker 3>you know amze, I mean nice stiletto heels, but five

0:25:34.520 --> 0:25:37.400
<v Speaker 3>maybe five nine or something, so she wasn't short, but you.

0:25:37.359 --> 0:25:42.560
<v Speaker 1>Know, okay, but she definitely dressed provocative. Lee, she was

0:25:42.680 --> 0:25:48.440
<v Speaker 1>provocative and stirred things up, which was so groundbreaking. Did

0:25:48.560 --> 0:25:51.320
<v Speaker 1>you ever feel jealous going out like the men were

0:25:51.359 --> 0:25:52.840
<v Speaker 1>staring at her?

0:25:53.960 --> 0:25:56.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I was a little bit jealous in the beginning,

0:25:56.440 --> 0:25:59.800
<v Speaker 3>Like I knew she had you know, she had a

0:26:00.280 --> 0:26:04.240
<v Speaker 3>with this French guy who she hadn't been married to,

0:26:04.359 --> 0:26:06.720
<v Speaker 3>but she he was the father of the son, and

0:26:07.520 --> 0:26:12.000
<v Speaker 3>I think, yeah, there was some I realized some of

0:26:12.040 --> 0:26:14.560
<v Speaker 3>the men we ran into it. Probably she had made

0:26:14.560 --> 0:26:16.280
<v Speaker 3>it had an a fairway, whether you can kind of

0:26:16.280 --> 0:26:19.240
<v Speaker 3>feel the energy or I wasn't that. I'm not a

0:26:19.320 --> 0:26:22.160
<v Speaker 3>jealous person. I wasn't that jealous, but I did think

0:26:22.200 --> 0:26:27.080
<v Speaker 3>that I did. I think at some point I think

0:26:27.160 --> 0:26:30.360
<v Speaker 3>I can't kind of I ran into some of us

0:26:30.359 --> 0:26:32.760
<v Speaker 3>going through a drawer at her house or something, and

0:26:33.080 --> 0:26:36.439
<v Speaker 3>ran into some polaroids, you know, and I was like, oh, okay,

0:26:37.440 --> 0:26:43.200
<v Speaker 3>a little bit explicit, but you know, it wasn't that bad.

0:26:43.880 --> 0:26:47.800
<v Speaker 3>It was it was a crazy time. I didn't you know, no,

0:26:48.920 --> 0:26:51.399
<v Speaker 3>I mean she wasn't jealous either, so it was it

0:26:51.520 --> 0:26:55.040
<v Speaker 3>was fine. I think we were pretty secure in each other.

0:26:55.040 --> 0:26:58.919
<v Speaker 1>You know, Yeah, the two hottest people ever. Like, gosh,

0:26:59.240 --> 0:27:09.359
<v Speaker 1>what a while time. I can't believe you have three

0:27:09.440 --> 0:27:12.320
<v Speaker 1>point three million followers on Instagram.

0:27:13.400 --> 0:27:16.200
<v Speaker 3>Okay, I think I do, yeah something like that.

0:27:18.000 --> 0:27:21.280
<v Speaker 2>What well, how do you do it? Give me?

0:27:22.000 --> 0:27:25.240
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. I don't really meet social media. It's

0:27:25.320 --> 0:27:27.280
<v Speaker 3>just a little bit of an annoying thing. I gotta

0:27:27.359 --> 0:27:31.639
<v Speaker 3>do do some for you know, lifetimes of contracts. You

0:27:31.680 --> 0:27:34.840
<v Speaker 3>have to have so many posts, and now with this

0:27:35.119 --> 0:27:38.120
<v Speaker 3>Flicker brand I have, you know, you got to keep

0:27:38.200 --> 0:27:40.159
<v Speaker 3>up with social media, but I don't really like it

0:27:40.200 --> 0:27:42.680
<v Speaker 3>that much. I'm not a big fan of it. I

0:27:42.720 --> 0:27:46.280
<v Speaker 3>hate to post pictures of myself, but you know, my

0:27:46.320 --> 0:27:50.480
<v Speaker 3>wife helps me, and I don't know. I think it's

0:27:50.520 --> 0:27:56.400
<v Speaker 3>a it's a necessary evil. Now. Yeah, so I can

0:27:56.480 --> 0:27:59.040
<v Speaker 3>see where you know, there were in the old days

0:27:59.080 --> 0:28:03.080
<v Speaker 3>some actors ever did publicity and it kind of would

0:28:03.160 --> 0:28:06.160
<v Speaker 3>make them mysterious, you know, and I wish I could

0:28:06.200 --> 0:28:07.479
<v Speaker 3>do that, but I just I don't know.

0:28:07.520 --> 0:28:09.480
<v Speaker 2>It's just I agree.

0:28:10.160 --> 0:28:13.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's like double sided, like it's evil and it's great.

0:28:14.160 --> 0:28:18.480
<v Speaker 1>And I used to love looking at actors and wondering, like,

0:28:18.680 --> 0:28:20.800
<v Speaker 1>what is it like behind the scenes, what is their

0:28:20.840 --> 0:28:24.040
<v Speaker 1>personal life like? And we never saw it, We never knew,

0:28:24.359 --> 0:28:27.119
<v Speaker 1>you know, they would do publicity, do interviews. It was

0:28:27.320 --> 0:28:30.719
<v Speaker 1>media trained. And now, you know, the thing is, the

0:28:30.720 --> 0:28:34.240
<v Speaker 1>more real and authentic you are, you can connect with everyone,

0:28:34.680 --> 0:28:37.440
<v Speaker 1>so everyone knows almost too much about you.

0:28:38.960 --> 0:28:41.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean it sort of suits me because I

0:28:41.280 --> 0:28:44.760
<v Speaker 3>like to I'm not you know, I don't have anything

0:28:44.800 --> 0:28:47.520
<v Speaker 3>to hide. I can be open with my fans and

0:28:48.160 --> 0:28:51.360
<v Speaker 3>talk about my private life or whatever anything happens to me.

0:28:51.400 --> 0:28:54.520
<v Speaker 3>But I do agree with you that there was a

0:28:54.560 --> 0:28:58.800
<v Speaker 3>time where say a real fine actor like Robert de

0:28:58.880 --> 0:29:02.560
<v Speaker 3>Niro or Pacino, you can never They never did any

0:29:02.840 --> 0:29:06.840
<v Speaker 3>They hardly did any press, so you never really knew that.

0:29:07.200 --> 0:29:09.920
<v Speaker 3>You never saw them except for the when they played

0:29:09.920 --> 0:29:13.440
<v Speaker 3>a character. So it made you want to pay ten

0:29:13.520 --> 0:29:15.760
<v Speaker 3>dollars whatever cost to see them in the theater.

0:29:16.200 --> 0:29:20.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, like I remember, it was ten dollars, was it?

0:29:20.280 --> 0:29:23.080
<v Speaker 3>It was it five? I don't know about ten. I think, well,

0:29:23.160 --> 0:29:26.560
<v Speaker 3>Jack Nichol said, I read about him. He did his

0:29:26.680 --> 0:29:31.440
<v Speaker 3>last interview or talk shows in I think in the

0:29:31.440 --> 0:29:37.040
<v Speaker 3>eighties or seventies, even I he just decided it's some point, yeah,

0:29:37.080 --> 0:29:40.160
<v Speaker 3>I think. So if you check on him, you'll find

0:29:40.320 --> 0:29:42.920
<v Speaker 3>very few interviews I think when he's talking about his

0:29:43.040 --> 0:29:46.040
<v Speaker 3>work or his characters or you know, you know. I

0:29:46.040 --> 0:29:48.360
<v Speaker 3>don't think he's ever been on I don't know if

0:29:48.360 --> 0:29:52.840
<v Speaker 3>he's been on Letterman or you you know, not much.

0:29:53.280 --> 0:29:56.800
<v Speaker 3>I think it kind of keeps a certain mystery there,

0:29:58.840 --> 0:30:01.360
<v Speaker 3>and I think they maybe there will be some kind

0:30:01.360 --> 0:30:03.880
<v Speaker 3>of maybe I'll come back to that. I don't know,

0:30:05.440 --> 0:30:10.520
<v Speaker 3>because I saw this interview with Johnny Depp, you know,

0:30:10.560 --> 0:30:14.080
<v Speaker 3>on on on I think it was a Letterman or

0:30:14.760 --> 0:30:17.360
<v Speaker 3>but anyway, he was talking to the letterman. You know,

0:30:17.400 --> 0:30:21.480
<v Speaker 3>he's very funny and interviews he just answers one word

0:30:21.600 --> 0:30:25.320
<v Speaker 3>right for two words. But he's very very clever and charming.

0:30:25.360 --> 0:30:27.960
<v Speaker 3>But he did say that he did a move because

0:30:28.200 --> 0:30:31.240
<v Speaker 3>let him and ask him about Brando working with Marlon

0:30:31.280 --> 0:30:35.080
<v Speaker 3>Brando and and he said that he did a picture

0:30:35.120 --> 0:30:41.360
<v Speaker 3>with him. It's it called don't doing one anyway if

0:30:41.400 --> 0:30:46.640
<v Speaker 3>the movie did. Yeah, And then Brando had asked him

0:30:46.680 --> 0:30:49.640
<v Speaker 3>at some point, you know, like when they were having lunch,

0:30:49.760 --> 0:30:52.920
<v Speaker 3>like how many movies do do a year or something?

0:30:52.960 --> 0:30:58.000
<v Speaker 3>And then and he said that two or three whatever, Branza,

0:30:58.680 --> 0:31:01.480
<v Speaker 3>there's too many. You know, it's says you only have

0:31:01.640 --> 0:31:04.320
<v Speaker 3>so many characters in new closet or whatever. He had

0:31:04.320 --> 0:31:06.960
<v Speaker 3>some funny word. But I always thought about that, and

0:31:07.000 --> 0:31:12.760
<v Speaker 3>it's like, yeah, I mean, how much effort can you

0:31:12.800 --> 0:31:17.840
<v Speaker 3>put into the great performers it obviously that's another thing

0:31:17.840 --> 0:31:18.680
<v Speaker 3>that happened back in.

0:31:18.600 --> 0:31:21.720
<v Speaker 1>The eighties as Nicole Kidman, because it's like ten a

0:31:21.800 --> 0:31:22.240
<v Speaker 1>year or so.

0:31:23.000 --> 0:31:25.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, exactly. Because when I did Rocky, I worked on

0:31:25.800 --> 0:31:28.200
<v Speaker 3>that first. It took me six months to get through

0:31:28.280 --> 0:31:29.680
<v Speaker 3>part of edition.

0:31:29.800 --> 0:31:31.120
<v Speaker 2>Six months? What do you mean?

0:31:31.960 --> 0:31:36.239
<v Speaker 3>I had to I had to build. I had to

0:31:36.320 --> 0:31:40.240
<v Speaker 3>train to get more muscular, I had to meet the producers,

0:31:40.280 --> 0:31:42.360
<v Speaker 3>I had to work on a monologue, and I had

0:31:42.360 --> 0:31:45.880
<v Speaker 3>to do a screen test. All that took time for

0:31:45.960 --> 0:31:49.120
<v Speaker 3>me to prepare because Stallone was doing something, he was

0:31:49.160 --> 0:31:52.080
<v Speaker 3>doing another picture. And then once I had the role,

0:31:52.400 --> 0:31:55.520
<v Speaker 3>then I worked with Sly for six months on the choreography,

0:31:56.080 --> 0:31:59.080
<v Speaker 3>lifting weights, you know, working on my Russian accent, all

0:31:59.120 --> 0:32:02.440
<v Speaker 3>of that. So I had a full year of working

0:32:02.480 --> 0:32:04.800
<v Speaker 3>on that character. Nothing That's the only thing I did,

0:32:04.920 --> 0:32:08.240
<v Speaker 3>like a full time job. So of course, when you

0:32:08.280 --> 0:32:11.040
<v Speaker 3>put that much work into something, it's going to have

0:32:11.120 --> 0:32:16.600
<v Speaker 3>a certain resonance. It's going to be very, very layered, right,

0:32:16.800 --> 0:32:21.120
<v Speaker 3>And you can't just throw something together in four weeks

0:32:21.720 --> 0:32:26.360
<v Speaker 3>and think you're gonna be able to deliver anything iconic.

0:32:27.080 --> 0:32:29.320
<v Speaker 3>It's not gonna. It's not gonna happen. I don't care

0:32:29.360 --> 0:32:32.040
<v Speaker 3>how good you are, So if you do too many movies,

0:32:32.920 --> 0:32:35.680
<v Speaker 3>you're not gonna deliver that. And it doesn't matter who

0:32:35.720 --> 0:32:38.360
<v Speaker 3>you are. And I think that's what Brandon was talking about,

0:32:38.360 --> 0:32:42.360
<v Speaker 3>and I can see that, you know, and that's what's

0:32:42.440 --> 0:32:45.760
<v Speaker 3>happened now. You're right, some actors are in everything, so

0:32:46.520 --> 0:32:49.400
<v Speaker 3>you know, it's not. They're good, but it's not memorable.

0:32:49.680 --> 0:32:52.840
<v Speaker 3>It's not like you're gonna that's what you're gonna remember

0:32:52.880 --> 0:32:55.560
<v Speaker 3>them ass, you're gonna remember them as something they did

0:32:56.440 --> 0:33:00.600
<v Speaker 3>probably you know, you know that they spend time one

0:33:00.600 --> 0:33:01.400
<v Speaker 3>when they were younger.

0:33:01.480 --> 0:33:05.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, for me, it just dilutes their brand. Not

0:33:05.720 --> 0:33:07.880
<v Speaker 1>that I want to call an actor a brand, but

0:33:08.480 --> 0:33:11.480
<v Speaker 1>your persona Like it's just you want to wait and

0:33:11.520 --> 0:33:15.120
<v Speaker 1>you want to be invested in. It's hard to invest. Well,

0:33:15.120 --> 0:33:19.080
<v Speaker 1>it's hard to invest nowadays streaming. There's a million things

0:33:19.280 --> 0:33:22.360
<v Speaker 1>you can watch, so it's really hard to get attached.

0:33:22.440 --> 0:33:27.800
<v Speaker 1>And the attention span is like kids have no attention span?

0:33:28.360 --> 0:33:31.320
<v Speaker 3>How can you fix it? It's you're right, it's almost

0:33:31.400 --> 0:33:34.160
<v Speaker 3>like the trains left the station. You just got to

0:33:34.200 --> 0:33:38.280
<v Speaker 3>hang on. I mean, can you sometimes still be a

0:33:38.320 --> 0:33:41.720
<v Speaker 3>picture where it'll come out of nowhere and they'll win

0:33:41.800 --> 0:33:47.080
<v Speaker 3>all the awards and there's some has that special quality

0:33:47.120 --> 0:33:51.120
<v Speaker 3>of of you know, people putt of work into it.

0:33:52.680 --> 0:33:57.320
<v Speaker 3>They say, you know, you know, I've work with this

0:33:57.480 --> 0:34:01.080
<v Speaker 3>acting coach for some movies that called. His name is

0:34:01.160 --> 0:34:05.880
<v Speaker 3>Larry Moss, and he works with Larry. He's great, right, Larry,

0:34:06.240 --> 0:34:08.879
<v Speaker 3>And he did say, like when you when you make

0:34:08.880 --> 0:34:15.560
<v Speaker 3>your entrance, you know, scene one, you know, act on

0:34:15.719 --> 0:34:20.200
<v Speaker 3>scene one, you make your entrance and he says, within

0:34:20.400 --> 0:34:24.360
<v Speaker 3>like a minute or less, the audience makes a decision.

0:34:24.560 --> 0:34:28.640
<v Speaker 3>You know, do I love this character? Don't like them? Like?

0:34:29.520 --> 0:34:32.640
<v Speaker 3>Am I fascinated by this character or not? If you're not,

0:34:34.000 --> 0:34:36.400
<v Speaker 3>you know, you're done. That's it. You know, there's no

0:34:37.000 --> 0:34:40.160
<v Speaker 3>nothing you can do. You have to like, you have

0:34:40.200 --> 0:34:42.719
<v Speaker 3>to come in with something. And if somebody comes in

0:34:42.760 --> 0:34:47.759
<v Speaker 3>with that X factor, then you know, whether it's a

0:34:47.800 --> 0:34:50.120
<v Speaker 3>movie or a play, then they're magical and you just

0:34:50.520 --> 0:34:53.200
<v Speaker 3>watch them and you realize, oh shit, you know this

0:34:53.360 --> 0:34:57.759
<v Speaker 3>is really axhilarating. You know, it's like I believe this

0:34:57.800 --> 0:35:00.880
<v Speaker 3>person and you're so right, and you know, but you're right.

0:35:00.920 --> 0:35:03.640
<v Speaker 3>With all the streaming, there's I don't think that too

0:35:03.680 --> 0:35:04.759
<v Speaker 3>many people think like that.

0:35:04.920 --> 0:35:08.920

<v Speaker 3>you know, it's so he has that very very cereblow.

0:35:57.520 --> 0:36:03.320
<v Speaker 3>You know, even though he's these sort of these thugs,

0:36:03.400 --> 0:36:07.560
<v Speaker 3>you know, he comes across the soul, sensitive and thoughtful.

0:36:07.600 --> 0:36:12.279
<v Speaker 3>It's it's interesting even when he even when he no

0:36:12.280 --> 0:36:15.759
<v Speaker 3>matter what character he plays, you know, it's I love

0:36:15.840 --> 0:36:18.440
<v Speaker 3>him a lot, you know, I like his performances.

0:36:18.760 --> 0:36:21.160
<v Speaker 1>Did you feel like after Rocky four that you got

0:36:21.200 --> 0:36:21.840
<v Speaker 1>type cast?

0:36:23.040 --> 0:36:26.280
<v Speaker 3>Well? I did in some ways. Yeah. I played obviously

0:36:27.080 --> 0:36:31.080
<v Speaker 3>another guy with no shirt. He man with a big sword,

0:36:31.200 --> 0:36:34.480
<v Speaker 3>and you know he was also a fighter, like a

0:36:34.520 --> 0:36:38.480
<v Speaker 3>warrior like Ivan Drago. And then I played Punisher, who

0:36:38.560 --> 0:36:40.920
<v Speaker 3>was a guy on a motorcycle with a shotgun and

0:36:41.200 --> 0:36:46.040
<v Speaker 3>so cool gene gun. And I played you know a

0:36:46.080 --> 0:36:50.120
<v Speaker 3>lot of action movies. You know. When I started studying acting,

0:36:50.280 --> 0:36:54.000
<v Speaker 3>I I was I was attracted to acting because it

0:36:54.080 --> 0:36:57.760
<v Speaker 3>gave me a chance to be emotional and like cry

0:36:57.840 --> 0:37:01.880
<v Speaker 3>on stage and be a fool. And you know, I

0:37:01.920 --> 0:37:04.439
<v Speaker 3>trained with this guy named Warren Robertson in New York,

0:37:04.480 --> 0:37:08.400
<v Speaker 3>and he liked the primal scream and all this, you know, emotional.

0:37:08.960 --> 0:37:11.200
<v Speaker 3>I like to be emotional because I had all this

0:37:11.440 --> 0:37:14.600
<v Speaker 3>pain for my childhood. So I didn't really want to

0:37:14.600 --> 0:37:17.680
<v Speaker 3>be an action star. It was just, you know, that

0:37:17.840 --> 0:37:19.799
<v Speaker 3>role was perfect for me. And when I did a

0:37:19.800 --> 0:37:23.279
<v Speaker 3>good job in Rocky four, then yeah, here's another guy

0:37:23.280 --> 0:37:25.440
<v Speaker 3>who can kick ass and who looks like he could,

0:37:26.320 --> 0:37:29.160
<v Speaker 3>you know, looks looks like an action guy. And that's

0:37:29.200 --> 0:37:30.399
<v Speaker 3>the kind of movies I did.

0:37:30.480 --> 0:37:35.120
<v Speaker 2>You know, do you ever want to do a rom com?

0:37:35.320 --> 0:37:40.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? I love rong coms. I like to cry and

0:37:40.160 --> 0:37:40.440
<v Speaker 3>you know.

0:37:41.800 --> 0:37:44.040
<v Speaker 2>How are you a comedy?

0:37:44.560 --> 0:37:45.720
<v Speaker 3>I'm pretty good at comedy.

0:37:45.800 --> 0:37:47.759
<v Speaker 2>I think you know. I want to see you do

0:37:47.800 --> 0:37:48.440
<v Speaker 2>a comedy.

0:37:49.360 --> 0:37:49.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:37:49.840 --> 0:37:53.920
<v Speaker 1>I want to see you and Stallone do like a

0:37:53.920 --> 0:37:54.920
<v Speaker 1>different version of like.

0:37:54.920 --> 0:37:55.560
<v Speaker 2>Dumb and dumber.

0:37:56.800 --> 0:37:58.479
<v Speaker 3>Okay, that's not dumb, but.

0:37:58.440 --> 0:38:02.919
<v Speaker 2>Like you know, Jim Carre, like that would like something funny? Yeah,

0:38:04.480 --> 0:38:05.359
<v Speaker 2>can we set that up.

0:38:07.920 --> 0:38:10.719
<v Speaker 3>I've become a fighter because against singer dance. No, but

0:38:11.000 --> 0:38:15.000
<v Speaker 3>I think I think I would. Yeah, that's not a

0:38:15.040 --> 0:38:18.440
<v Speaker 3>bad idea. I actually get a comedy on actually comedy

0:38:18.440 --> 0:38:22.800
<v Speaker 3>that I'm developing, said in La the in show business

0:38:22.920 --> 0:38:27.360
<v Speaker 3>with kind of Hollywood movie with you know, some of

0:38:27.400 --> 0:38:31.799
<v Speaker 3>the expaniables. People learn that, so you know, it's it's

0:38:31.800 --> 0:38:34.279
<v Speaker 3>not a hilarious comedy, but it's a little bit like

0:38:35.680 --> 0:38:40.560
<v Speaker 3>a King of comedy that you know, squz pic. Sure

0:38:40.600 --> 0:38:42.280
<v Speaker 3>it's kind of serious but funny.

0:38:42.680 --> 0:38:45.840
<v Speaker 2>You probably do great physical comedy.

0:38:45.960 --> 0:38:49.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, physical comedies. People like to see me do things.

0:38:49.680 --> 0:38:52.000
<v Speaker 3>That's you know. I think I realized that when I

0:38:52.160 --> 0:38:55.400
<v Speaker 3>was fighting that people wanted to watch me fight, you know,

0:38:56.640 --> 0:38:57.879
<v Speaker 3>whether I want or.

0:38:57.960 --> 0:38:59.640
<v Speaker 2>I just wanted to watch your cheekbones.

0:38:59.640 --> 0:39:05.560
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, natural do things, kind of do things on film.

0:39:06.040 --> 0:39:09.319
<v Speaker 3>It's for some people, you know. So you have that

0:39:09.440 --> 0:39:11.439
<v Speaker 3>thing where they want people want to see you do things.

0:39:11.440 --> 0:39:13.560
<v Speaker 3>So you write physical comedy be good.

0:39:13.760 --> 0:39:14.600
<v Speaker 2>That'd be awesome.

0:39:22.560 --> 0:39:26.160

<v Speaker 3>you know, when I have you know, if I have

0:40:06.800 --> 0:40:08.880
<v Speaker 3>something I want to spread, like a word about a

0:40:08.920 --> 0:40:12.319
<v Speaker 3>movie or something, I gotta do it. But and it's

0:40:12.360 --> 0:40:16.040
<v Speaker 3>a great tool. I love it. And you know, I

0:40:16.320 --> 0:40:19.680
<v Speaker 3>don't know, it's just it's a bit it's a bit

0:40:19.719 --> 0:40:23.279
<v Speaker 3>unnatural or something because you're talking to people you've never

0:40:23.400 --> 0:40:25.920
<v Speaker 3>met and you're very kind of it. Sometimes it gets

0:40:26.040 --> 0:40:29.319
<v Speaker 3>quite intimate or quite you know, personal. I would say,

0:40:29.320 --> 0:40:32.440
<v Speaker 3>you know, it's a bit I'm still not used to it.

0:40:34.200 --> 0:40:41.040
<v Speaker 1>I understand, Yeah, got it. Can you can you disclose

0:40:41.040 --> 0:40:43.200
<v Speaker 1>if you're going to be in the new he man.

0:40:44.320 --> 0:40:45.720
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I can't say anything.

0:40:45.920 --> 0:40:48.800
<v Speaker 1>Okay, just blink once. If you are, I won't tell anyone.

0:40:49.760 --> 0:40:51.600
<v Speaker 1>It's a podcast, it's not visual.

0:40:52.400 --> 0:40:55.120
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Well I blink all the time. Whatever that means

0:40:55.320 --> 0:40:57.240
<v Speaker 3>to your own conclusions.

0:40:59.239 --> 0:41:00.200
<v Speaker 2>You are ready.

0:41:03.160 --> 0:41:06.680
<v Speaker 3>A few secret projects you know that I'm playing around with.

0:41:07.000 --> 0:41:09.799
<v Speaker 3>I'll come out later. I got three. Actually, it's weird.

0:41:09.840 --> 0:41:12.319
<v Speaker 3>I've got all these things I can't talk about now.

0:41:12.360 --> 0:41:14.560
<v Speaker 3>It's so strange. It's never been like that before.

0:41:15.719 --> 0:41:17.600
<v Speaker 2>That's a cool thing. That means you got a lot

0:41:17.680 --> 0:41:18.120
<v Speaker 2>going on?

0:41:19.080 --> 0:41:22.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, can.

0:41:25.400 --> 0:41:26.840
<v Speaker 2>How do you feel sorry?

0:41:26.880 --> 0:41:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, I just got vangirled and like totally

0:41:29.800 --> 0:41:31.719
<v Speaker 1>blanked out.

0:41:32.560 --> 0:41:34.480
<v Speaker 2>Have you actually sorry?

0:41:34.520 --> 0:41:37.359
<v Speaker 1>This is so Rando. I like Rando questions because you've

0:41:37.360 --> 0:41:41.719
<v Speaker 1>been asked everything in your whole career. I'm sure. Have

0:41:41.800 --> 0:41:45.960
<v Speaker 1>you tried the infamous Swedish meatballs at Akia?

0:41:47.400 --> 0:41:50.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they're good. I've tried them, not in La, but

0:41:50.640 --> 0:41:53.040
<v Speaker 3>somewhere else. I can't remember where, but you know what,

0:41:53.120 --> 0:41:54.400
<v Speaker 3>I had meatballs today?

0:41:55.800 --> 0:41:57.600
<v Speaker 2>Do you make them dolf longer? And do you cook?

0:41:57.880 --> 0:42:00.600
<v Speaker 3>Oh? I didn't actually, but I went to a restaurant

0:42:00.600 --> 0:42:05.080
<v Speaker 3>in Stockholm with my parents in law and have some meatballs.

0:42:06.520 --> 0:42:07.440
<v Speaker 3>It was good.

0:42:08.400 --> 0:42:11.160
<v Speaker 1>Like is the linenberry sauce at Ikea? Is that authentic?

0:42:11.239 --> 0:42:14.439
<v Speaker 2>That's what it is. Typically it is.

0:42:14.360 --> 0:42:19.520
<v Speaker 3>Pretty authentic and it comes with linenberries and those cucumbers

0:42:19.560 --> 0:42:21.680
<v Speaker 3>I believe, like salty cucumbers or some.

0:42:21.760 --> 0:42:27.359
<v Speaker 1>Sorry your own brand as potatoes.

0:42:27.960 --> 0:42:28.880
<v Speaker 2>Does your wife cook?

0:42:30.000 --> 0:42:33.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, she's a pretty good cook, which is great because

0:42:33.640 --> 0:42:37.080
<v Speaker 3>we live in La and I do find the difference

0:42:37.360 --> 0:42:40.239
<v Speaker 3>if you compare to steak Sweden. All the food here

0:42:40.280 --> 0:42:43.520
<v Speaker 3>is pretty clean, like you know, but I think in

0:42:43.640 --> 0:42:45.920
<v Speaker 3>La you can't eat really well, but you have to

0:42:45.960 --> 0:42:49.160
<v Speaker 3>be a little more proactive. And I think she's very

0:42:49.160 --> 0:42:53.640
<v Speaker 3>smart about that. So I think that's maybe another secret

0:42:53.680 --> 0:42:54.920
<v Speaker 3>I have that I eat really well.

0:42:56.280 --> 0:42:58.840
<v Speaker 1>Was that like a thing like where you're like, okay,

0:42:58.920 --> 0:43:01.520
<v Speaker 1>can you can you cook like Swedish cuisine?

0:43:02.360 --> 0:43:05.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? Here, fill out this questionnaire question one. Can you

0:43:05.680 --> 0:43:10.120
<v Speaker 3>make meatballs? No? I uh, I just know when I'm.

0:43:09.920 --> 0:43:11.600
<v Speaker 2>Met her she can handle the balls.

0:43:11.800 --> 0:43:16.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean, yeah, she didn't cook that much, but as

0:43:16.080 --> 0:43:20.720
<v Speaker 3>we yes, you know, the years pasted, she did learned

0:43:20.760 --> 0:43:24.520
<v Speaker 3>to cook or she ended up cooking more. And uh,

0:43:25.680 --> 0:43:27.600
<v Speaker 3>you know, I used to cook a little more in

0:43:27.600 --> 0:43:29.719
<v Speaker 3>the beginning, used to cook breakfast as such, But now

0:43:29.760 --> 0:43:31.600
<v Speaker 3>I don't cook much at all, just a little bit,

0:43:31.680 --> 0:43:34.759
<v Speaker 3>but not much, which is good because I'm busy. So

0:43:35.520 --> 0:43:36.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm glad she's doing it.

0:43:37.800 --> 0:43:38.360
<v Speaker 2>Definitely.

0:43:39.600 --> 0:43:41.399
<v Speaker 1>If you I don't even know if you ever do,

0:43:41.719 --> 0:43:46.080
<v Speaker 1>and I know you're super healthy, But if you had

0:43:46.120 --> 0:43:49.160
<v Speaker 1>to pick a fast food, what would be your favorite.

0:43:50.600 --> 0:43:58.080
<v Speaker 3>Best food? Is? Hamburger? Fast food? Burger burger with cheese, burger.

0:43:57.880 --> 0:44:00.640
<v Speaker 2>With fries, like what place?

0:44:01.400 --> 0:44:05.320
<v Speaker 3>H There is one in West Hollywood called Shake Shake Shock.

0:44:06.160 --> 0:44:06.560
<v Speaker 3>It's on.

0:44:08.360 --> 0:44:09.160
<v Speaker 2>Mass food.

0:44:10.880 --> 0:44:11.880
<v Speaker 3>Is that fast food? Now?

0:44:11.920 --> 0:44:14.640
<v Speaker 2>It's really good? I would consider that.

0:44:16.320 --> 0:44:20.560
<v Speaker 1>Now I'm talking like McDonald's, Burger King, Taco Bell.

0:44:21.280 --> 0:44:25.520
<v Speaker 3>No that now I could go for some for some

0:44:26.600 --> 0:44:34.320
<v Speaker 3>I hop I could go for some pancakes. But so pancakes,

0:44:34.520 --> 0:44:36.680
<v Speaker 3>I hop again.

0:44:36.480 --> 0:44:38.480
<v Speaker 2>Not fast food. But I didn't see that one coming.

0:44:39.680 --> 0:44:41.839
<v Speaker 2>Can we talk about your vodka hard cut?

0:44:42.480 --> 0:44:47.839
<v Speaker 3>Okay, what about it? Uh? It's this is the logo HC.

0:44:48.800 --> 0:44:52.960
<v Speaker 3>It's yeah, I appreciate it. Yeah, it's sick potato vodka.

0:44:53.000 --> 0:44:56.360
<v Speaker 3>And me and my wife came up with the idea.

0:44:56.480 --> 0:44:58.759
<v Speaker 3>I just didn't like any of the vodkas out there.

0:44:58.840 --> 0:45:00.920
<v Speaker 1>And what was the reason you E didn't like the

0:45:00.920 --> 0:45:01.879
<v Speaker 1>other brands out there?

0:45:02.160 --> 0:45:05.120
<v Speaker 3>Well, I missed the taste. I missed that you cannot

0:45:05.200 --> 0:45:07.880
<v Speaker 3>drink it on ice, and you can't sip it because

0:45:07.920 --> 0:45:10.799
<v Speaker 3>it's too harsh and it burns your throat. It's like

0:45:11.719 --> 0:45:15.799
<v Speaker 3>aviation fuel. I didn't like that taste. That was the

0:45:15.800 --> 0:45:18.520
<v Speaker 3>main thing that I wanted, a very smooth vodka. And

0:45:19.120 --> 0:45:21.839
<v Speaker 3>I didn't know much about it, but it was kind

0:45:21.840 --> 0:45:25.000
<v Speaker 3>of exciting to delve into it and I realized, we

0:45:25.080 --> 0:45:27.560
<v Speaker 3>realized that potato vodka is a much smoother and there

0:45:27.600 --> 0:45:30.319
<v Speaker 3>are very few potato vodkets only like one or two

0:45:30.320 --> 0:45:33.439
<v Speaker 3>percent in America potato vodckets, and there was a really

0:45:33.440 --> 0:45:38.279
<v Speaker 3>good chopine poland. But then we found one in America

0:45:38.600 --> 0:45:42.440
<v Speaker 3>in Idaho, Idaho potatoes. Of course, that was great. Document

0:45:42.520 --> 0:45:44.719
<v Speaker 3>and water. It's very very smooth. You can drink it

0:45:44.800 --> 0:45:48.319
<v Speaker 3>straight up. People like that. People are very surprised when

0:45:48.320 --> 0:45:48.839
<v Speaker 3>they try it.

0:45:49.480 --> 0:45:51.279
<v Speaker 2>And I don't know if I could do that.

0:45:52.040 --> 0:45:55.799
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'll send you a bottle. You just sip it

0:45:55.840 --> 0:45:59.239
<v Speaker 3>on ice or you can because it's overproof. It is

0:45:59.320 --> 0:46:03.880
<v Speaker 3>nighty proof, so when you put it in a cocktail,

0:46:03.960 --> 0:46:06.600
<v Speaker 3>it holds the ice better, it doesn't get us diluted,

0:46:07.040 --> 0:46:12.120
<v Speaker 3>and there's no clicks, so it's good. Like old the

0:46:12.200 --> 0:46:15.720
<v Speaker 3>vodkas say the same thing, but we're all we taste

0:46:15.760 --> 0:46:20.840
<v Speaker 3>better over ice, smooth and also tastes better in a cocktail.

0:46:20.920 --> 0:46:24.319
<v Speaker 3>And that's that's That was the main thing. And then

0:46:25.600 --> 0:46:27.640
<v Speaker 3>then I just thought, well, I want to have a

0:46:27.680 --> 0:46:30.560
<v Speaker 3>little fun with vodka the way people have fun with tequila.

0:46:30.800 --> 0:46:34.000
<v Speaker 3>You know, brands, the vodka brands are kind of boring,

0:46:34.080 --> 0:46:35.560
<v Speaker 3>so I wanted to have a little fun with it

0:46:35.600 --> 0:46:40.000
<v Speaker 3>and you know, have a little kind of badass expendables vibes.

0:46:40.080 --> 0:46:42.720
<v Speaker 2>So and I love that you say.

0:46:42.800 --> 0:46:45.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you put it out there that you're a

0:46:45.080 --> 0:46:48.040
<v Speaker 1>self professed drinker, and there's nothing wrong with that.

0:46:48.800 --> 0:46:51.200
<v Speaker 3>No, I don't drink domb much. I work out a lot,

0:46:51.320 --> 0:46:53.799
<v Speaker 3>but I do like to have a cocktail once a

0:46:53.840 --> 0:46:57.040
<v Speaker 3>week maybe or sometimes twice. And and when I drink,

0:46:57.040 --> 0:46:59.319
<v Speaker 3>I like to drink some really good something I really

0:46:59.400 --> 0:47:03.239
<v Speaker 3>enjoy and i'd like to I don't have to, I

0:47:03.320 --> 0:47:05.399
<v Speaker 3>don't have to abuse it. Just want to enjoy it.

0:47:05.400 --> 0:47:08.040
<v Speaker 3>It's relaxing and fun, you know.

0:47:08.600 --> 0:47:11.720
<v Speaker 1>I know people always say like, oh, you can't drink,

0:47:11.880 --> 0:47:14.520
<v Speaker 1>like that's you know, especially when you get older, you

0:47:14.560 --> 0:47:15.080
<v Speaker 1>can't drink.

0:47:15.160 --> 0:47:17.880
<v Speaker 2>And it's interesting. You see these people that say.

0:47:18.280 --> 0:47:20.440
<v Speaker 1>She lived to be one hundred and nine and she

0:47:20.640 --> 0:47:22.919
<v Speaker 1>had a sip of whiskey every single day.

0:47:24.280 --> 0:47:28.120
<v Speaker 2>Yes, but you know, like it's like, look.

0:47:27.920 --> 0:47:30.480
<v Speaker 3>I think if you have a little bit of alcohol,

0:47:32.120 --> 0:47:34.200
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you look at people who live in like

0:47:34.239 --> 0:47:36.960
<v Speaker 3>the Mediterranean region. I had a place in Spain for

0:47:37.360 --> 0:47:40.920
<v Speaker 3>twenty years and bea or you go to grease people, yeah,

0:47:41.040 --> 0:47:45.080
<v Speaker 3>drink a little bit, eat ruso, or they drink you know, wine,

0:47:45.360 --> 0:47:46.920
<v Speaker 3>and they live the longest.

0:47:47.800 --> 0:47:51.759
<v Speaker 2>It's very different than the United States.

0:47:52.000 --> 0:47:56.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean I think I don't think alcohol has

0:47:56.040 --> 0:47:58.400
<v Speaker 3>a big time to do with unless you're an alcoholic.

0:47:58.480 --> 0:48:02.239
<v Speaker 3>But I mean if anything in moderation, you know, I

0:48:02.280 --> 0:48:04.960
<v Speaker 3>think what you eat is more important, you know, and

0:48:05.000 --> 0:48:06.719
<v Speaker 3>then if you have a drink or two in a week,

0:48:07.080 --> 0:48:09.240
<v Speaker 3>think that matters. Right.

0:48:09.320 --> 0:48:13.719
<v Speaker 2>So you can have some vodka, if you have some pancakes.

0:48:13.120 --> 0:48:15.000
<v Speaker 3>You can have vodka pancakes.

0:48:15.239 --> 0:48:17.080
<v Speaker 2>Vodka infused pancakes.

0:48:18.480 --> 0:48:20.279
<v Speaker 3>I don't know about that. Let me think about it.

0:48:20.320 --> 0:48:26.640
<v Speaker 3>And the syrup, the syrup maybe here, okay, okay, you

0:48:26.640 --> 0:48:31.120
<v Speaker 3>know we do have a five to one martini, which

0:48:31.239 --> 0:48:33.920
<v Speaker 3>is you know I have. I like the old school stuff,

0:48:33.960 --> 0:48:37.080
<v Speaker 3>the the what do you call it, the rat pack,

0:48:37.680 --> 0:48:41.600
<v Speaker 3>the martinis, the you know, the rocks, glasses, all that

0:48:41.680 --> 0:48:48.000
<v Speaker 3>kind of olives. Olives, yeah, green blue cheese are new. No,

0:48:48.120 --> 0:48:52.719
<v Speaker 3>I would say, are you telling green olives? No, no piano,

0:48:52.840 --> 0:48:54.920
<v Speaker 3>no pepper, and side because the pimento.

0:48:55.000 --> 0:48:57.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm not a fan either. I love a good

0:48:57.840 --> 0:48:59.160
<v Speaker 2>all of stuff with blue cheese.

0:49:00.200 --> 0:49:03.000
<v Speaker 3>Oh blue cheese, you mean and the drink or.

0:49:03.880 --> 0:49:07.800
<v Speaker 2>In the olive into the drink.

0:49:07.880 --> 0:49:09.239
<v Speaker 3>I gotta try that and I haven't tried it.

0:49:10.239 --> 0:49:13.719
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh, a blue cheese stuffed all of martini.

0:49:13.800 --> 0:49:16.920
<v Speaker 2>You have to with hard cut vodka. We'll do it together.

0:49:17.440 --> 0:49:18.960
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, okay, we'll do together.

0:49:19.760 --> 0:49:23.279
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that's a plan. And ice wise, like, does it

0:49:23.320 --> 0:49:27.560
<v Speaker 1>have to be those like big cubes or you sip

0:49:27.600 --> 0:49:28.640
<v Speaker 1>it over ice, so.

0:49:29.200 --> 0:49:31.480
<v Speaker 3>Have to be a big cube, except we that's kind

0:49:31.480 --> 0:49:35.200
<v Speaker 3>of a signature, look as the straight up over big cube,

0:49:35.239 --> 0:49:40.400
<v Speaker 3>only because it just the cube doesn't mount as quickly

0:49:40.480 --> 0:49:42.440
<v Speaker 3>so it doesn't dilute vodka too much.

0:49:42.680 --> 0:49:44.800
<v Speaker 2>I see. That's the reason. I just thought they always

0:49:44.800 --> 0:49:45.320
<v Speaker 2>look cool.

0:49:45.800 --> 0:49:47.719
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they look cool as well. You can get them.

0:49:47.760 --> 0:49:50.480
<v Speaker 3>I can get them with the with the ice stamp.

0:49:51.080 --> 0:49:53.960
<v Speaker 2>Really what Yeah?

0:49:54.120 --> 0:49:56.600
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, that's just a little detail. But I think

0:49:56.719 --> 0:50:01.080
<v Speaker 3>mostly it's because the alcohol, well you know, otherwise the

0:50:01.120 --> 0:50:05.120
<v Speaker 3>alcohol dilutes the ice and it becomes too diluted too fast.

0:50:05.480 --> 0:50:08.160
<v Speaker 3>If you have bar ice. Bar ice is good for shaking,

0:50:08.200 --> 0:50:09.320
<v Speaker 3>but not so much for a drink.

0:50:10.640 --> 0:50:12.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, I could listen to you talk about

0:50:12.680 --> 0:50:19.520
<v Speaker 1>this all day long. Okay, last question, Sorry, tell your

0:50:19.520 --> 0:50:20.719
<v Speaker 1>wife to put ear muffs on.

0:50:21.400 --> 0:50:24.600
<v Speaker 2>Has a girl ever said to you you must break me?

0:50:27.080 --> 0:50:29.960
<v Speaker 3>They may? I forgot, but I mean I may have

0:50:30.000 --> 0:50:33.080
<v Speaker 3>too much hard cut before now this is in the past.

0:50:33.160 --> 0:50:36.120
<v Speaker 2>That may have seen in the past, of course, yeah.

0:50:36.640 --> 0:50:40.600
<v Speaker 3>Maybe I think they've maybe said it and not perhaps

0:50:40.680 --> 0:50:43.759
<v Speaker 3>those words, but maybe somebody did say that.

0:50:47.200 --> 0:50:48.560
<v Speaker 2>Well, you were delightful.

0:50:49.560 --> 0:50:53.000
<v Speaker 1>I was so excited to have a conversation with you,

0:50:53.080 --> 0:50:56.800
<v Speaker 1>just because it was Nostalgia is really big right now,

0:50:57.040 --> 0:50:59.520
<v Speaker 1>and I know you have so many new projects coming out,

0:50:59.560 --> 0:51:02.480
