David, to his credit, actually became one of the best aerobatic flyers, stunt pilots in the country.
He would go to these air shows where he's doing barrel rolls and flying at like 300 miles an hour, you know, 15 feet off the ground.
And so that was kind of a way in which they connected.
The side of David that loves movies actually came from his mom, he says.
They watched movies all the time.
Apparently, they had a collection of, David has said, 3,000 VHS videotapes when he was growing up in the 80s and 90s.
They'd go to the movies every weekend.
And in one other way, he got a lot from his mother, which is everyone describes David as incredibly nice, which I don't know if anyone has ever said that about Larry Ellison, who is kind of your classic bombastic, arrogant, hard-charging executive.
David seems to have gotten some sense of humility and kindness and almost gentleness, as people talk about him, from his mom.
And Larry and others have sort of talked about that as much.
Yeah, that's right.
And I've written about lots of powerful people, business owners, about whom people have plenty of nasty things to say, partly based on the way that those kind of entrepreneurs sometimes tend to treat their underlings.
And that's not the case with David, by and large, by people he works with in Hollywood.
They all say...
It's sort of two sides.
On the one hand, David would not be where he is if his father was not Larry Ellison, if he didn't have the financial backing from his father.
At the same time, he has worked hard to try to prove his place and has not just been a lazy rich kid taking his dad's money and going to Hollywood parties.
Yeah, so Flyboys was a World War I fighter pilot movie, and the people who were making it had struggled to get financing.
They had made big Hollywood movies before, but for one reason or another, they were struggling to get this movie off the ground.
And then one of the people involved in the film found out David Ellison was at USC Film School.
