Hey kids, we're on a holiday break, but we'll be back. Don't worry. Until then, enjoy this episode of the best of The Adam Carolla Show. Paul Walter Hauser is in studio. Paul has a new movie out, we'll get into that, but I probably caught you first in I, Tonya, I don't know, maybe the Richard Jewell movie, directed by Clint Eastwood, correct?
That's right, yeah.
Yeah. That'd be kind of crazy being the lead of a Clint Eastwood movie.
I thought so. I thought it was fiscally irresponsible for Warner Brothers to cast me and not a real movie star. But I, you know, that was one of those things that just I was in the middle of shooting a Spike Lee movie in Thailand called The Five Bloods. And yeah. Just had a small supporting role, but it's Spike Lee. You know, you serve sandwiches on that set. Also, I love sandwiches. Right. But I said to them, I was like, you know, I was very content in the moment, but I got a call from my reps who said, hey, you've been offered a Richard Jewell biopic, and it was a TV series, a limited series.
Mm-hmm.
And then three days later, I got offered Richard Jewell, the movie from Clint Eastwood. So I had competing Richard Jewell offers within 72 hours. Wow. One of them was quite lucrative and was ready to go. And the other one was Clint Eastwood. Having just chosen me out of the blue and the movie was at Fox, Disney bought Fox and Clint only does movies at Warner Brothers. There's a whole fiasco behind the scenes of is this thing even going to get made? And at the 11th hour, they're like, Paul, you got to choose. You got a high six figure deal, almost seven figures to be on the TV version. Or you can hope to God Clint gets the movie made. And I just turned on the TV show and, you know, folded my hands. And three weeks later, I was on the Warner Brothers lot with Clint.
It was crazy. Three weeks later. Yeah. Not shooting, but like meeting the man, walking down the hall. He looked at me and he goes, time to pick up the donuts. And, you know, he wanted me to get even more Julie to play Richard Jewell.
Yeah. You know, I you know what I don't like about our society is. I was hoping we were going to go down this path this early. I'll tell you what I don't like. It's like you see George Clooney is on 60 Minutes, and we have to talk to George Clooney about what's going on in politics and what's going on in the world and how to fix everything and what he knows because he looks like he knows something, right? And so we go, look at Clooney. That guy is smart. Look at him. And it's like, he has good bone structure. It doesn't mean he doesn't have a 10 cent head. And I like George Clooney. He's a nice guy. And I'm not saying he's a stupid guy, but we have this thing where you, you go look at Richard Jewell and you go, Oh, look at that guy.
He did something. Look at that guy. You know he did something.
That guy's that dope.
Look at that idiot over there. Look at Clooney.
He's smart.
Clooney, what should we do next? What should the Democratic Party do next? You tell us. Well, he's an actor who has a pet pig and is a nice enough guy. But he's not smart just because he looks smart.
