An actor friend of mine had an audition earlier this week for a role in a movie. Not a big role. Maybe twenty lines total, but it would be a big break for them because it is in what will be a huge box office smash. While he is auditioning, he noticed a guy in the back of the room who was very obviously on some type of dating app because of the way he was swiping. My actor friend didn't recognize him at first, but had noticed him simply because of the aggressive swiping. It was only as he was leaving the building that someone came to him and said that __________ had loved him. The person only used the first name. Still not knowing exactly who the person was talking about, my friend asked, "Oh, is ______________ making the decisions?" The person replied, "Yes, but no one is supposed to know. You know, because of what happened." My friend, again, not putting first name together with person he saw said something along the lines of I'm glad he liked me. The person actually replied back, "I 'm glad he liked you too. I was expecting to have to cast a dozen teenagers for him to lust after every day." My friend still didn't get it and continued to net get who it was until he got home and started Googling the first name of the disgraced director and found him only with the first name and the line about lusting after teenagers and it came up with exactly who it is.
Bryan Singer

ReplyDelete...and in light of all the comments on the comedian blind...I thought the title of this said "He's Black"...
ReplyDeletenice.
Yeh probably Singer moreso Franco
ReplyDeleteWow.I mayof drank too much last night.
ReplyDeleteI cannot read this even w one eye shut
Bryan
ReplyDeleteIt's like going to a job interview and not knowing the major players in the industry you're interviewing in.
ReplyDeleteSo the blind is saying that this actor is gonna get raped by Singer everday? Someone should call the police and get ahead of this.
ReplyDeleteThis is so....not a blind.
ReplyDeleteSo your friend is a little slow? Is he going to put out? Maybe Singer thought he was flirting? Most importantly,is your friend legal age?
ReplyDeleteTeenagers does narrow it down, if he'd just said kids then we'd have no idea which director to look at.
ReplyDeleteIf someone said ‘Bryan loved you’, an actor wouldn’t know who that is? Plus he’s got such a distinctive look. Are you sure your friend’s an actor?
ReplyDeleteAre we sure this blind is even real?
ReplyDeleteWhat about James Gunn?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure Gunn counts as a "disgraced" director.
ReplyDeleteJames Gunn's issue was distasteful jokes on Twitter, not any behavior.
ReplyDelete+1 on Gunn.
ReplyDeleteWhy do I feel like this is Dancing Boy adjacent?
ReplyDeletebryan singer
ReplyDelete@E, Perhaps because it doesn't make any sense? 🤔
ReplyDeleteDo the Google search described in the blind. Singer pops up on the first page.
ReplyDeleteI can understand not recognizing people. For the extreme, think of Pee-wee Herman.
ReplyDeleteI thought of Dancing Boy as well reading this. Maybe he wrote it. Wouldn't most actors say, "I got an audition for Bryan Singer's next movie. I know you don't approve,but I need this job!" Dancing Boy is too long in the tooth for Singer, so just be a friend.
ReplyDeleteNo, not me. I know a couple of BS's exes but - you know - they've moved on, as best as they could. I've been spending the last 24 hours not writing but being engaged in unpleasantness with a certain former child actor not long prior to my generation. But I try to be respectful: best of luck to you!
ReplyDeleteI thought Red Sonja was put on hold.
ReplyDeleteat least HW attacks adults not kids
