You are daddy. I am Gossip Girl. These are facts. Okay? Facts.
Thank you. I just gave you everything you wanted.
Did I get invited? Of course not. It wasn't like they were sending out invites. Yeah, I mean, but I didn't go much. I was not a partier.
Just sitting at home.
Good question. I just had a different friend circle.
I did.
Would you go out? Good question. I mean, didn't go out as much. Where did you live? Gramercy.
I did go to One Oak. way after everybody, I'd heard about One Oak a lot. I remember the first time, okay. I remember the first time that I had to pay for a bottle. And this was years later, years, years, years later. I took somebody out. They really wanted to go out. They're from Thailand, right? They like, they wanted to party like they saw. And I was like, okay, we'll go.
I go to some place, I don't even remember the name of that I've been to many times. I bought a bottle and I was like, I'm sorry, come again? What?
wait whoa you know that meme of the guy being like and the math is flying like this i was just like so not only have i been getting free bottles my whole 20s completely unaware again we're talking about upholding the artifice this is this is i was just like people pay for this this much and you could go to the grocery store and get a bottle of gray goose for like it's criminal
I was like, yeah, I feel good about not having done this a bunch. I mean, stunned me. It stunned me. I was like, people have to save up to waste it this quickly. I mean, good Lord.
Yeah, certainly for Gossip Girl. Certainly because of, you know, the early 2000s celebrity city thing. Yeah, I mean, I think, well, look, you know, and Crimey River, it's not a big deal. What I say is as a witness to it, not as a complaint. But I think one of the aspects of celebrity that you deal with constantly is just like, everybody just thinks you're somebody you're not.
And, you know, again, so I think that's just always... So how long did you do Gossip Girl? Six years.
I mean, that's a great question because it was it was the struggle. You know, The difference between... There are many differences between film and television. One of them is that when you do a film, you do it once. And you kind of give it your all. And then you move on, whether you want to or not. You do. When you do a television show, you are... You're doing it constantly.
Because of the nature of that show and because of celebrity culture at that time, especially, it was like, you know, I remember like, you know, suddenly the influx of interviews being asked about, like, I remember doing something for, you know, Cosmo Girl or something. That's a thing, right?
Is it? Is it?
Like Teen Vogue had just come out. You know what I mean? Like I remember doing interviews for those kinds of publications and being asked about like, you know, dating advice or like, by the way, like think I've been on one date in my life, like spent most of my time just sort of either in a relationship or not. And I remember just the feeling of,
But it's this thing, you feel like you're constantly, even though no one may be actually asking you to do this, you feel like you're constantly needing to prove yourself in some manner. Otherwise, what are you doing? I mean, what is the space?
This kind of thing has evolved over the course of however long, but we didn't have podcasts like this back then where you could explore things at length and depth. they were looking for a quick soundbite and it was just like, it was just like, uh-huh, okay, yeah, all right, okay, all right, uh-huh. It's like, you don't, interfacing in that space
can actually feel really crazy and you suddenly feel the need to perform and you're just like, why can't I just say something fucking normal? And so what starts to happen when you're in this one role for a long time, the aspect of celebrity being a part of it, a huge part of it, There is not enough separation, I think, for anybody.
