But I do—I always remember seeing you, recognizing you, and then you would look up, and then basically it was your version of stay away from me. Yeah. Yeah.
You just thought I was some weird street urchin that needed cocaine and you looked like a dealer.
That's probably what I thought then. Hey, man, you holding?
No?
With an underwater speaker that was saying, we'll tell you when to come up.
I came up. They said, go. And I heard everybody else coming up. So I was late. So I wasn't thinking. I came up. I looked at it. I turned around. I looked at it. And I went, fuck! And Donner goes, what? ! I go, sorry, sorry.
No, that's what I'm saying. Go back under. I ruined the whole thing. And again, like when we go back and talking about this book is that, you know, you go, oh, we're hiring Jim Brolin's son or whatever. Right. He auditioned six times and I was, I was right for that part. I look at it objectively and I go, I was right. I look like a jock. I look like the Sean Astin.
But the truth of the matter is, is they were hiring a Cito rat. They were hiring a guy who was already doing, had done a lot. I'd already been to jail two times. So, you know, when I go up and say, fuck, it's organic.
Anyway, I was going to show you. I keep reaching for this and I'm going to show you. Keep talking and I'll show you.
What am I supposed to do? This is I don't know. This is a picture of me. It's my mother. JB is a kid. It's me in my crib with a mountain lion.
holy shit there you go let me see oh my god that is and it's not a cub it is an adolescent mountain line and that's that's that your mom putting it in that's my mom taking the picture look at the camera i'm like i'm not i'm not taking my eyes off the mountain line i'm not looking at the camera this is like You and Melanie Griffith didn't hurt Tippi Hedren. They knew each other.
They did know each other.
And if you look at the face, it will tell you everything. Not that I was beaten. That's what it is growing up with wild animals.
That's it. You're getting mauled. But also- Blood bites, my mom called it. What's interesting about this- Blood bites. Anyway-
Like I'm in this thing right now. It's like, I don't mean to be mean. There's like people that I like Colbert, you, you know, where I get along with really well. And then I know I do that thing. And I don't mean to. It's just what I grew up with. We all kind of poke each other.
That's trust. That's family. To me, that's family. Not everybody gets that. That's why when I go to Italy, everybody's like that. And I was like, oh, wow. I was just born in the wrong country. Yeah. Like everybody, even the grandmother is like, what the fuck are you looking at? And I'm like, what?
Actively trying to ruin my career.
Because there's connective tissue there somewhere and it's not linear because what is linear? It's, you know, I was saying, I'm saying this this morning, I was saying the whole point of the book is that it's, it's this kind of, it's a collective, like, I love the idea of groups of people being able to lean on each other.
And, and, and if it's, if, you know, you don't have the same beliefs, it's a messy fucking life, man. It's all over the place. It's all made up of moments, this whole idea of trajectory. And like, I did the Goonies and then I did thrashing and then I worked with, you know, then I did highway to heaven with, you know, it's like, yeah, okay. But what were you thinking? What were you this?
What was the messiness? How did you become who you are at this point? And then, you know what I mean? It's way more interesting to me to get into the non-linear kind of reactions off. You have De Niro in front of you and you look at him like, I don't, I'm sure it was the wine, but I was like, look at your face, man. And he goes, what? And I was like, you just got a fucking face. Look at your face.
