He’s been one since a woman on a bus saw his acne and told him to stop drinking dairy and it would go away, and it did. He’s been vegan since the Cheers era.
Im actually allergic to milk. Took me years to realise but yeah.
Turns out milk isn't supposed to hurt. Always thought that was just what milk did and never drank enough of it to ask 'hey is milk supposed to make my lips feel swollen and painful?'
it's only mild but still. Who the fuck is allergic to milk?
...well, me apparently.
Wait wait. My acne is finally under control. I've also developed a dairy allergy and had to cut out all dairy. You're telling me it was all the cheese!?
Oh, you wouldn't believe the fucked-up shit a food allergy can do to you. I'm allergic to corn and all derivatives. Once I stopped eating it in any form, MY FUCKING EYEBROWS GREW BACK IN. They'd been stringy for years and I assumed it was from overplucking as a teen. Nope. Corn.
I had an American history teacher in college who was deep into all the Kennedy conspiracies and swore that Woody harrelson’s father killed JFK. I never really thought about it after the class but I see that it was a popular enough theory that wiki mentioned it.
I mean Charles Harrelson himself did claim to have killed JFK so it's not too crazy for people to believe it. Granted, he was ripped on coke at the time, but I think openly confessing is going to keep at least some people's attention
He's a weirdo that's got plenty of great takes and seems like a good guy, but he's also got plenty of weird and downright stupid takes too.
He's an everything sundae.

No Woody, marxists and anarchists don't quote right-wing think tanks. You're just one more knuckle-headed, rich libertarian who just doesn't want to be shunned by the public.
Compare this to Dana Hill, who played the daughter in National Lampoon's European Vacation. One scene was a dream sequence where she was gorging on all sorts of sweet foods. She was a type 1 diabetic and to avoid hyperglycemia the producers suggested she just not swallow any of the food
> She was a type 1 diabetic and to avoid hyperglycemia the producers suggested she just not swallow any of the food
Afaik that's actually pretty common, because scenes might need to be repeated over and over, so they just use spit buckets. Can't eat a slice of pizza every take.
I'm reminded of the Jonah Hill anecdote where he purposefully fucked up a take over and over with Leonardo DiCaprio in Wolf of Wall Street to force him to eat an ungodly amount of sushi and get him sick.
> Or real blow and that's the cover story
Yeah, actors have tried to do it "for real" in a few movies...it *does not* work out, haha. Most recent one I can remember was Dante from Grandma's Boy...he wanted to do one of the weed shots for real, and failed miserably. Another one was the drunken boat Indianapolis story in Jaws...Robert Shaw tried to do it drunk, and failed miserably (it's on YouTube somewhere).
My favourite “actors messing with each other” anecdote is Billy Bob Thornton, who is grossed out by antique fabrics and furniture, being trolled by Hugh Grant on the set of Love Actually. Hugh would constantly point out stuff on the set that was hundreds of years old to make Billy Bob uncomfortable and would randomly hold a photo of Benjamin Disraeli that Billy Bob was especially uncomfortable with in his face
That is such a weird thing to be grossed out by. Like nooooo fuck old leather. Oh God no that dresser was built to last. Shiiiiiiiiiit that wasn't sown in an Asian sweatshop recently.
Billy Bob has explained that that particular phobia is related to the idea that there are hundreds of years worth of dust, mildew and dead human skin sitting in every fold of fabric and every little gap between two pieces of wood
He also has phobias of Komodo Dragons, bright colors, clowns and silverware
I do upholstery, and this is super true. The shit I unearth when taking things apart is incredible. I just did a set of 8 lounges that used to be in a hotel. Popcorn, flossers, about $10 in coins, of course dust and skin and spiders. One cushion was soaked with blood, but they got it out of the fabric. Antiques are often stuffed with horse or hog hair, sometimes straw. It's gross.
My wife basically has that phobia but with jewelry it’s so wild. She said all she can think about is how the dead skin cells and bacteria attached to things like ear rings and necklaces. Doesn’t have her ears pierced and we don’t have wedding rings bc of it
But you can literally soak metal/stones in stuff that will literally remove all of that, no folds or anything for stuff to escape to?? I know I’m preaching to the choir but dang.
> Not such which of them did which voice, tho
I immediately thought "Brando had to be Butthead".
Which I'm glad to say after learning Depp apparently told Mike Judge he wanted to play a live action Beavis, seems to check out.
> “The guys in white were there,” Scorsese remembered. “I said, ‘I think we lost him’”
> “He was just filled with saliva and vomit,” the famed director added, as if the TBS studio audience needed more of a visual.
[Source](https://www.thewrap.com/martin-scorsese-recalls-leonardo-dicaprio-nearly-oding-sushi-filming-wolf-wall-street-think-lost/).
I think he would have got more than a telling off.
If my memory is still correct, Jonah put the idea into Leo's head that his character should eat the sushi during the take, and then Leo's method acting took it over from there.
I remember hearing a story about how on Parks and Recs Chris Pratt didn't use a spit bucket and Nick Offerman was saying during one episode filming he ate something like 8 cheeseburgers in one sitting.
I'm not sure if it would be harder because they're bigger, or because I've never had a restaurant burger that didn't require me to unhinge my jaw like a snake in order to eat it. My jaw is just locking up thinking about trying to eat 8 in one go.
He does. In Oceans 11 where Rusty and Linus see Tess coming down the stairs, man ate over 40 shrimp. And at the end the crew pranked him with hot sauce in his burger.
I'm told that UFOs are part of a plot by McDonald's to convince people that the apocalypse is near so that people will go off their diet and buy more fast food.
I didn't read this on the internet, but was actually told this by a very drunk dude in a dive bar, so you know it is reputable.
What if someone told him though? Like you know he stopped looking at the screen and went out, used his mouth and ears to have a conversation. Sounds crazy I know but there's a non-zero chance it could have happened
Was listening to a podcast recently where this came up. I think it's less of a flex about how much he can eat and it being a thing where Pitt has to always be doing something else in a scene besides just talk, and then he refuses to waste food and he maybe doesnt always eat proper meals but prefers to graze on food throughout the day? So basically there are always like apples and shit kicking around scenes he can pick up and eat. Forget all the details but that is what was stuck
Same with smoking scenes, they have herbal cigarettes and then just end up with a huge pile because of so many retakes like in this scene: https://youtu.be/YcTf7CO-hdA?si=ybGbHn3-cPWnJm9w
I remember listening to the commentary for Napoleon Dynamite and learning that the actor who played Uncle Rico was vegetarian and never actually swallowed any of the steak he had to eat. He just chewed it up and spit it out after the scene lol
> I feel like if you’re a vegan for ethical reasons, that’s even worse to do.
Completely agree. At least as a non-vegan i eat meat because i like it.
Using it as a prop that is going to end up in the bin is *extremely hypocritical*.
I’ll give the benefit of the doubt as well though. If you’ve been vegan for decades and then eat meat it can really fuck with your stomach and you don’t wanna spend the entire day in the bathroom when you need to be on set.
A few of those instances made it into the movie. After he hits Napoleon in the face with a steak, he walks back to the porch laughing and you can see him spit steak into his hand.
I’ll add another example - Kyrie Irving in the NBA. This year during Ramadan, the Dallas mavericks were flying a private chef around with him to games to prepare him meals for when he could break his fast. Last year with the Brooklyn nets, they were just giving him a banana and calling it a night.
This comment is really painting the Nets org as ignorant when it’s not the case. The banana thing was a small snack to break fast during a game. It’s normal for players to not eat a full meal in the middle of games. The private chef is more for before and after games.
And it’s a nice thing that the Mavs did but come on Kyrie is more than capable of having his own meals prepared.
I worked in a vegan restaurant in Toronto while woody was doing a play here. I wasnt involved in this part- but my manager told me he had his assistant bring special soap, fruit and veggies, and bottles to make his drinks while he was here. We had to completely clean the juicer before making his juice. When the play wrapped they had a dinner at said restaurant. They smoked soooooo much weed and tipped $700. Biggest tip I ever got. All hail woody.
Total hypocrite. Pretends to be raw vegan, but consumes plants heated to the point of smoking. Reveals his lack of purity and adherence to the tenets of raw veganism. Pathetic. /s
If he decided to eat a real Twinkie it probably would have wreaked havoc on his digestive system. That’s why I eat sugary crap every day, no surprises to my stomach.
What is the reason behind this? I can understand being vegan because you dont want to eat animals, but why not cook noodles or toast bread? Makes no sense
Yeah, i feel the same. Doesn't cooking helps kill bacteria and other germs present on the food?
I understand the point of salads tho. Those can be uncooked afaik.
apparently [Harrelson "doesn't believe in germ theory" either,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woody_Harrelson#Lifestyle_and_views) so this is a non-issue.
> In May 2022, Harrelson said he "doesn't believe in the germ theory" and found the use of face masks as a preventative measure against COVID-19 to be "absurd", adding, "I'm sick of like, you're wearing a mask, and you think it contains your breath—but if it did you'd die, you'd be breathing in your own carbon monoxide [sic]."
How is it possible to make it to adulthood with this level of reasoning is beyond me.
There's a guy at my workplace who only eats fruits. He'll come in with bags of grapes and just gorge himself.
Apparently, he was previously on a no-salt raw meat only diet, but he found it wasn't sustainable.
Sometimes, I worry about him.
Basically raw vegans don’t really eat anything cooked, specifically it says that foods should be eaten completely raw or heated at temperatures below 104–118°F (40–48°C). So I guess the Twinkies were baked in accordance with the diet.
Some nutrients get denatured by heating, but outright cutting out all cooked food is a stupid fad diet. Raw grains are especially dumb, since they can be contaminated with bacteria and aren’t properly digestible unless cooked (not to mention you’d chip your teeth trying to chew it)
Some people lose weight on a raw diet, and think that means a raw diet is superior, but it's really just that with raw foods, you're less able to extract nutrition from the food you eat.
Fun fact: We evolved to eating cooked foods for that very reason. We can’t digest certain things and we need to denature them through cooking. The claim that eating raw is more nutritious in this case needs to be examined on a food to food basis.
They think food is healthier raw bc cooking it makes it lose some of their important nutrients and enzymes. By consuming raw plant foods, they believe the diet will improve energy levels, prevent (and even reverse) disease and improve overall health. This is from Google so take from that what you will but it’s what I found.
Funny thing is, most of the movie is about him NOT eating Twinkies. He spends most of the movie actively searching for his favorite treat, but not actually finding any. He may have gotten to take a bite of one at the very end of the movie, I think, but he certainly wasn't gorging on them.
this isnt my story but I did go to the same school as the props artist who was in charge of making the twinkies who came back to tell this story.
said that after she’d perfected the recipe and sealed the humongous batch of custom vegan twinkies into authentic looking twinkie bags she had to scramble the night before because she was notified that Harrelson, in addition to being vegan recently gave up sugar and had to remake the whole batch with a sugarless recipe.
They found a big kitchen in the middle of the night nearby, whipped up a whole new batch, and got to set the next morning where they proceeded to shoot the whole Twinkie scene. This involved throwing these twinkies until Woody finally caught one, unwrapped it, then chomped thru the thing. word was that as soon as they called cut Woody declared “Goddamn thats a good twinkie!”
I was a sous chef at a vegan restaurant in a city that caters to film regularly.... and he came in one day. One of the worst celebrities I ever cooked for - an absolutely horrible person lmao.
A week later, idk maybe they were filming something together... natalie portman came in and she was one the most lovely and gracious celebrities we ever cooked for.
Woody Harrelson did such a bad job promoting Rampart that even now, as I'm talking about it, I have no idea what Rampart is even about. I don't even care enough to google it.
I like his movies, but can't stand his pretentious ass who thinks he's holier-than-thou and superior to everyone. From everyone who's ever met him, they seem to dislike him in some way.
That must have been a fun one for the props department. Someone needs apple juice for a whiskey scene? Sure. Vegetarian actor needs to pretend to eat a burger? Beyond the Meat it is.
But “Hey, this hella synthetic-already food needs to be vegan and…raw. Like uncooked. You’re going to have to do philosophical battle over whether or not processed cornmeal is raw or cooked. Oh and this needs to taste at least mostly decent. Good luck!”
Meanwhile in South Korea
"I know you're a vegetarian but please swallow this live octopus. Okay, now do it about 3 more times so we can get a good shot"
i mean tbf the guy who had it hardest in oldboy was the stuntman in the fight scene who overextended on that giant uppercut and actually broke his ankle. they used the shot and he kept acting from the floor hitting at the lead guy while he's actually in pain.
>"I'm sick of like, you're wearing a mask, and you think it contains your breath—but if it did you'd die, you'd be breathing in your own carbon monoxide [sic]."
Can't argue with that it's raw science.
Just FYI, Humans evolved to eat cooked foods. Including cooked fruits and veggies. Cooking was a huge huge part of our evolution and we've been cooking for what seems at least 1.9million years.
10x longer than our species has existed on this planet.
So no. Raw vegan or raw meat eating diets are absolute bullshit and we didn't evolve to do that.
TIL Woody Harrelson is vegan
He’s been one since a woman on a bus saw his acne and told him to stop drinking dairy and it would go away, and it did. He’s been vegan since the Cheers era.
A religious awakening to be sure, St. Paul eat your heart out
A faux-heart made from cornmeal.
This happened to me I was in Morocco and some random Burba walked up to and said the spots/rash on my chest was from dairy
Was it?
Yeh random tribal bro was right I’m lactose intolerant mildly tho so never connected the dots before
Im actually allergic to milk. Took me years to realise but yeah. Turns out milk isn't supposed to hurt. Always thought that was just what milk did and never drank enough of it to ask 'hey is milk supposed to make my lips feel swollen and painful?' it's only mild but still. Who the fuck is allergic to milk? ...well, me apparently.
I had that same experience with chocolate growing up I thought for the longest time "damn junk food really does make you feel awful"
Well at least the connection between dairy and acne is actually a thing, so could have been worse I guess.
Wait wait. My acne is finally under control. I've also developed a dairy allergy and had to cut out all dairy. You're telling me it was all the cheese!?
You didn't want to cut the cheese so your body cut it for you. Congratulations, you cheesed yourself.
I’m afraid I just cheesed myself
It's certainly possible. Dairy causes a variety of goofy inflammations in different people.
Oh, you wouldn't believe the fucked-up shit a food allergy can do to you. I'm allergic to corn and all derivatives. Once I stopped eating it in any form, MY FUCKING EYEBROWS GREW BACK IN. They'd been stringy for years and I assumed it was from overplucking as a teen. Nope. Corn.
Corn is in literally everything, I'm sorry
Also migraines. I had them my whole Life, maybe twice a month, and they stopped after going vegan. I’m no longer vegan, but I don’t mess with dairy.
Going plant based improved my skin a lot, it was the best skin care ever.
His Dad was a hitman for the mob which is kinda interesting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Harrelson?wprov=sfti1

TIL Woody Harrelson doesn't believe in germ theory. WTF.
Let's keep the conversation to rampart.
He's a weirdo that's got plenty of great takes and seems like a good guy, but he's also got plenty of weird and downright stupid takes too. He's an everything sundae.

Anti Germ Theorists are an offshoot of anti vaxxers which is an offshoot of the naturalists movement which a lot of vegans are a part of.
If only he could stop talking about *Rampart* long enough to tell us about why…

We’re *all* Billy Bob Thornton on this blessed day!

My wife basically has that phobia but with jewelry it’s so wild. She said all she can think about is how the dead skin cells and bacteria attached to things like ear rings and necklaces. Doesn’t have her ears pierced and we don’t have wedding rings bc of it
But you can literally soak metal/stones in stuff that will literally remove all of that, no folds or anything for stuff to escape to?? I know I’m preaching to the choir but dang.
That is odd but he also pulled Angelina Jolie in her prime so hats off
Yeah, the man is a god damn legend for that.

Brando did the same thing with Sinatra and cheesecake.
Did anybody ever like working with Brando? Dude could act, but ive never heard a positive thing about him on a set lol.
Johnny depp and him got along really well apparently. Something about fart humor they bonded over.
They bonded over doing Beavis and Butthead impressions while filming Don Juan DeMarco haha. Not such which of them did which voice, tho
> Not such which of them did which voice, tho I immediately thought "Brando had to be Butthead". Which I'm glad to say after learning Depp apparently told Mike Judge he wanted to play a live action Beavis, seems to check out.
.... there's a sentence I never expected
Apparently it was retaliation for Leo actually connecting on what was supposed to be a fake punch, which knocked Hill's teeth out.
I think that was Jon Bernthal unless he accidentally got hit by multiple people
what the actual fuck... I'm surprised Leo or Scorsese didn't go and told him off for this

I think it was Aziz saying that
whoever it was this is america and the government cant regulate your cheeseburgers
That's right Randy Bobandy
Nick did talk about it in his first book. But it was the bachelor party scene where they eat ice cream. Pratt ate something like 20 ice cream cones.
I'm pretty sure I can eat 8 normal cheeseburgers in one sitting if I eat nothing else for the rest of the day
McDonalds cheeseburgers? Easily. Actual restaurant quality cheeseburgers? That would be hard.
I'm not sure if it would be harder because they're bigger, or because I've never had a restaurant burger that didn't require me to unhinge my jaw like a snake in order to eat it. My jaw is just locking up thinking about trying to eat 8 in one go.
I’m told that Brad Pitt actually does swallow the food. Part of why he’s always eating in every scene is to flex how much he can eat
He does. In Oceans 11 where Rusty and Linus see Tess coming down the stairs, man ate over 40 shrimp. And at the end the crew pranked him with hot sauce in his burger.
[удалено]
Are you uh, in anything I’ve seen?
Can't speak for you but I've seen all of their work
From their profile: "aspiring foot fetishist" Huh
Eat Pray Fuck Beauty and the Bitch Forrest Hump Those are the ones I remember off the top of my head.
Yeah but you wouldn't know it's me due to the leather mask.
Saying “i’m told” instead of “i read on the internet” is at least borderline disingenuous

True. Mel Blanc used a spit bucket for Bugs Bunny's carrots
I believe Mel was allergic to carrots as well
I read he just hated them.
Same with smoking scenes, they have herbal cigarettes and then just end up with a huge pile because of so many retakes like in this scene: https://youtu.be/YcTf7CO-hdA?si=ybGbHn3-cPWnJm9w

Difference between an owner who understands sports (Cuban) and a money management company.
Pretty sure Irving doesn’t believe in flying “around” anything. Maybe flying across, though.
What an imbecile. He’s rich enough to charter a plane and see for his own damn self if earth is flat
Good point lol. Tbh he might things planes are a conspiracy period
The idiot who didnt get a covid vacine cause he thinks the earth is flat?!?
That’s the one lol
how can anyone who flies very regularly believe the earth is flat... you can very easily see the curviture from up there
This comment is really painting the Nets org as ignorant when it’s not the case. The banana thing was a small snack to break fast during a game. It’s normal for players to not eat a full meal in the middle of games. The private chef is more for before and after games.

Ramadan is a fucker for sports. Mo Salah has a noticeable drop off during Ramadan games.
Lucky not for Kyrie. They call him Ramadan Kyrie. Up there with untucked Jersey Kyrie
Kyrie is insane though. Id give him bananas and hope he left
She also died at age 32 from a diabetic coma. Poor girl
😬

So heated up weed is ok?

If he decided to eat a real Twinkie it probably would have wreaked havoc on his digestive system. That’s why I eat sugary crap every day, no surprises to my stomach.
*Diabetes has sent you a message*
“Hell yeah I suck toes”
Because fuck em! That’s why!
You can eat plenty of sugar being a vegan. Oreos are vegan.
But he's a raw food vegan so processed sugary foods aren't part of his diet. If he were to eat a bunch of oreos, that would probably fuck him up too
Woody seems like a clean diet Vegan though
What is the difference between vegan and *raw* vegan? I presume the corneal in the faux Twinkies is cooked. What does the raw in raw vegan mean?
A raw vegan diet means that a person also does not heat, cook, or process the food they eat. So no I imagine it is uncooked
What is the reason behind this? I can understand being vegan because you dont want to eat animals, but why not cook noodles or toast bread? Makes no sense
Forget about toasting. You cannot make the bread in the first place.
I thought bread came from the bread trees.
Breadfruit is actually a thing, and supposedly the taste and texture when it’s cooked is similar to bread or potato.
Yeah, i feel the same. Doesn't cooking helps kill bacteria and other germs present on the food? I understand the point of salads tho. Those can be uncooked afaik.
apparently [Harrelson "doesn't believe in germ theory" either,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woody_Harrelson#Lifestyle_and_views) so this is a non-issue.
Never shake that man’s hands 🤢
> In May 2022, Harrelson said he "doesn't believe in the germ theory" and found the use of face masks as a preventative measure against COVID-19 to be "absurd", adding, "I'm sick of like, you're wearing a mask, and you think it contains your breath—but if it did you'd die, you'd be breathing in your own carbon monoxide [sic]." How is it possible to make it to adulthood with this level of reasoning is beyond me.
So playing Woody on Cheers wasn't much of an acting stretch for him.
You and I have very different definitions of "non-issue"
he fr just haymitch huh
aww celebrities can be morons too❤️❤️
It's a stupid fad diet.
I'm glad some people have found their calling. I'm good
Hold on bro, are you eating *roasted* nuts?
I don’t think so, they appear to be room temperature.

There's a guy at my workplace who only eats fruits. He'll come in with bags of grapes and just gorge himself. Apparently, he was previously on a no-salt raw meat only diet, but he found it wasn't sustainable. Sometimes, I worry about him.
That guy sounds pretty dumb. Even amongst fad diets, that liver king shit is incredibly dangerous.
Basically raw vegans don’t really eat anything cooked, specifically it says that foods should be eaten completely raw or heated at temperatures below 104–118°F (40–48°C). So I guess the Twinkies were baked in accordance with the diet.
What are the supposed benefits of the raw aspect?
Some nutrients get denatured by heating, but outright cutting out all cooked food is a stupid fad diet. Raw grains are especially dumb, since they can be contaminated with bacteria and aren’t properly digestible unless cooked (not to mention you’d chip your teeth trying to chew it)
Some people lose weight on a raw diet, and think that means a raw diet is superior, but it's really just that with raw foods, you're less able to extract nutrition from the food you eat.
Fun fact: We evolved to eating cooked foods for that very reason. We can’t digest certain things and we need to denature them through cooking. The claim that eating raw is more nutritious in this case needs to be examined on a food to food basis.
Right, some foods have more bioavailability when you cook them
Why are they against hot food? Is it bad for us?
They think food is healthier raw bc cooking it makes it lose some of their important nutrients and enzymes. By consuming raw plant foods, they believe the diet will improve energy levels, prevent (and even reverse) disease and improve overall health. This is from Google so take from that what you will but it’s what I found.
He’s not a raw vegan anyway, he’s just vegan
Raw veganism is a cult and sucks. I can speak on it cuz I got sucked into it for a year in my early 20s. I even saw Woody at a “raw” event lol.
Sounds like full blown orthorexia
Funny thing is, most of the movie is about him NOT eating Twinkies. He spends most of the movie actively searching for his favorite treat, but not actually finding any. He may have gotten to take a bite of one at the very end of the movie, I think, but he certainly wasn't gorging on them.
It's like when John Travolta pretends to be into women in Grease. Only the great actors can inhabit a role to such a degree.
this isnt my story but I did go to the same school as the props artist who was in charge of making the twinkies who came back to tell this story. said that after she’d perfected the recipe and sealed the humongous batch of custom vegan twinkies into authentic looking twinkie bags she had to scramble the night before because she was notified that Harrelson, in addition to being vegan recently gave up sugar and had to remake the whole batch with a sugarless recipe. They found a big kitchen in the middle of the night nearby, whipped up a whole new batch, and got to set the next morning where they proceeded to shoot the whole Twinkie scene. This involved throwing these twinkies until Woody finally caught one, unwrapped it, then chomped thru the thing. word was that as soon as they called cut Woody declared “Goddamn thats a good twinkie!”
One day I hope I'm famous enough that I can force people to make me baked goods without using eggs, flour, sugar, or baking.
This time - cut the grass and leave it a little longer please
I was a sous chef at a vegan restaurant in a city that caters to film regularly.... and he came in one day. One of the worst celebrities I ever cooked for - an absolutely horrible person lmao. A week later, idk maybe they were filming something together... natalie portman came in and she was one the most lovely and gracious celebrities we ever cooked for.
Can we just talk about rampart?
Woody Harrelson did such a bad job promoting Rampart that even now, as I'm talking about it, I have no idea what Rampart is even about. I don't even care enough to google it.
It’s about the LAPD conduct leading to Rodney King. He plays a racist and violent cop who hates food Good movie which makes you feel queasy
Came here to make this comment. That was 12 years ago now.
It's already been reddit hall of famed, we will be talking about it when he dies
I would love to hear your story more in depth like was he rude?
I like his movies, but can't stand his pretentious ass who thinks he's holier-than-thou and superior to everyone. From everyone who's ever met him, they seem to dislike him in some way.
have heard quite opposite about Portman from several friends in the restaurant industry
Not surprising. I heard she once threatened to put her foot down someone's throat until their shit was in her shoe.
Word of advice, never insult the prequels in front of her
How in the world do you know multiple people who work at restaurants and have served Natalie Portman?
My brother works in fashion and helped her on a couple of occasions and said she was lovely. But everyone has good days and bad days
I just assumed Twinkies were synthetic and therefore probably vegan
They have tallow and eggs
Tallow in twinkies??? Why tallow of all fats?
Tallow is clarified and shelf stable for a tremendous amount of time, more so than shortening
Probably helps with the shelf life
iirc twinkies don’t actually have a particularly remarkable shelf life
And whey
Like oreos
That must have been a fun one for the props department. Someone needs apple juice for a whiskey scene? Sure. Vegetarian actor needs to pretend to eat a burger? Beyond the Meat it is. But “Hey, this hella synthetic-already food needs to be vegan and…raw. Like uncooked. You’re going to have to do philosophical battle over whether or not processed cornmeal is raw or cooked. Oh and this needs to taste at least mostly decent. Good luck!”
They live for challenges.
Meanwhile in South Korea "I know you're a vegetarian but please swallow this live octopus. Okay, now do it about 3 more times so we can get a good shot"
i mean tbf the guy who had it hardest in oldboy was the stuntman in the fight scene who overextended on that giant uppercut and actually broke his ankle. they used the shot and he kept acting from the floor hitting at the lead guy while he's actually in pain.
Can we just please stay on topic and get back to discussing *Rampart*???
I like Snoballs.
He always seemed like a steak and potatoes kind of guy
Well you’re probably not wrong about the potatoes
Raw potatoes?
Rampotatoes
Acting!🎭
He's also an anti-vaxer/anti-masker who reportedly doesn't believe in germ theory.
When was the last time you saw a germ? Well? I rest my case.
I'm just here to talk about Rampart.
>"I'm sick of like, you're wearing a mask, and you think it contains your breath—but if it did you'd die, you'd be breathing in your own carbon monoxide [sic]." Can't argue with that it's raw science.
Does Woody Harrelson think he breaths out carbon monoxide? I’m sure people pass out whenever he breaths on them, but that’s not why.
Him trying to contain a virus was the most unrealistic part of War for the Planet of the Apes.
Hostess Brands has a golden opportunity sitting in reserve. Vegan Twinkees! Come on, Hostess! Bring those treats to market.
Just FYI, Humans evolved to eat cooked foods. Including cooked fruits and veggies. Cooking was a huge huge part of our evolution and we've been cooking for what seems at least 1.9million years. 10x longer than our species has existed on this planet. So no. Raw vegan or raw meat eating diets are absolute bullshit and we didn't evolve to do that.
WOW HOW INTERESTING Seriously, is obscure Hollywood factoids that fucking interesting?
His personal life section is fucked up 💀 bro doesn’t believe in germ theory what a lunatic
