Yeah. When I was 16, I got exposed to his movies, which maybe is a little late. If you're going to be somebody like me, I could have used them earlier. Yeah.

So the first screenplay I wrote was about Woody Allen changing his name to Woody at 16 years old, which he actually did. But I said it in modern day and in my life and situation and people liked it and it got sent around to various people and ultimately wound up at his lawyer who sent me a cease and desist letter.

That's so flattering. Well, at the time, it really was. My dad came into the room. I was living at home. I was 16. He goes, I have good news and bad news. I was like, what is it? What's going on? He's like, we heard back from Woody Allen. And I was like, there can't be any bad news after that. And he was like, it's a cease and desist letter from his lawyer.

His lawyer, incidentally, who was his producer, I got to know. Of course, the guy never knew. I'm sure it was somebody sending this letter 10 times a day to various people. Yeah. And it's so funny that you picked up on that and what you described was exactly like that for me. It's like somebody who's outwardly nervous and paranoid about all sorts of things, but who makes life work for him.

He's just not interested in like... That kind of. Yeah, that kind of thing. Like, hey, you get this? Wow, a coincidence about me. He's somebody who's been so fetishized by culture. So I think he's just so uninterested in people telling him, hey, I got a brother who looks like you. I never told him ever. I knew he wouldn't care or think about it. And then we were on a panel for a press for a movie.

And somebody like it was a French journalist said, did Jesse ever tell you, you know, he did this thing? I looked over at him going, this is just going to be a waste of a time frame. He's not going to care. And he goes, oh, interesting. No, I never knew that. And we never talked about it again. That's exactly as you predicted. Exactly. He just has no interest. Maybe in me.
