yassir that’s my baby
when brad and i first met, i was a talent agent and was interviewing him for possible representation. at the end of our meeting, he asked me what the next few steps in the process were. i explained that he would leave the room and that we’d talk about him behind his back and that he should call us back in 3 days and we’d let him know our decision. but the catch is we meet a zillion actors and interview a few a day. we were going to completely forget who he is and so if he called and said “hi i’m brad. i’m the actor you asked to call you in 3 days. what’s your decision?” i would have no idea and would barely be paying any more attention to him than i would a telemarketer. so we set up a code word - yassir arafat.
ah, love. so strange.
