Amusing reflections on googlism .'.
So, I did the annual vanity googling, and was far from impressed.
A few years ago I did a Robbie Williams video in which we have simulated sex (long story).
I got interviewed about it after the fact, at the insistence of my agent at the time - and have now had the pleasure of reading my "quotes."
Now, anyone that knows me well enough would look at this and immediately disregard it as fabricated bullshit. There are definately words, or short phrases that I said during the interview, but they've been chopped up, rearranged, and just plain synthesized into this illiterate, culturally ignorant, shallow character.
Obviously - the interviewer was looking for phrases they could use to call Mr. Williams' sexuality into question.
for example: KEILI OLSEN, a male actor in the video, says, "Robbie started going at it before they even loaded the film. There was about half an hour of fairly intense activity."
Now - I wouldn't personally agree with "my" statement. For one, I was in the room for all of 5 minutes. Additionally, I was probably the only one in there that wasn't uncomfortable - I've done some weird things whilst acting - simulating sex in my underwear is far from a big deal.
There's all sorts of amusing "quotes" to be found, it seems the same lines have been reassembled at at least 6 different new sites. One of my personal faves is:
"I wasn't really comfortable about it. I'm straight and although it was just a part, it's not something I'd like to do again.
"Robbie started going for it before they even loaded the film.
"THere was about hald an hour of fairly intense activity. To me it was just another gig -- but Robbie was really into it."
"I wasn't really comfortable about it" ??? sheesh
anyway..
thanks for letting me vent :)
oh - other amusing googles: the IMDB only recognises one gig of mine, and it was as a dead person.. ahahahaha..
oh dear.

I thought your performance as the dead person rather good. Clearly a professional actor (no corpsing).
i have to see that robbie williams video. from what music video is that?
christy: that would be "Come Undone" - it's a "blink and you'll miss it" sort of thing.. near the end..
toby: hahahaha.. nice.. nice.. ;)
believe it or not, that is still (to this date) the hardest role I ever played. That's kind of why I took such a backwards step career-wise (well.. that and the money).
As an experiment (it'll only take three minutes):
Lay down. Close your eyes. Have someone shine really strong lights in your face. Hold your breath. Get someone to tickle your face with a makeup brush. assuming you've gotten this far, bare in mind you have about 2 minutes more before you can breath again. *don't sweat*
no twitching! :)
fun stuff
