Ming-Na Wen reveals she’s worked with PURE ASSHOLES in Hollywood (but refuses to name a single one) and was more terrified of Jackie Chan than any of them
"Yes, and I'm not naming any...
It really depends on the circumstances... But ultimately you just stay as far away from that toxic energy as possible. You go in and you do the job that you're supposed to do... I've had ones where they're really clever at being an asshole. Those are the harder ones.
Or the people that like befriend you and you think you're friends... Those are worse for me than someone who's just being an asshole.
No... I've been really fortunate though. It's never gotten that bad. I've heard all these horror stories of people who are just ridiculous and mean, and I've never, never experienced that.
I was nervous about Karate Kid Legends, working with Jackie Chan. Hell yes...
Yeah, it's weird, isn't it? It's like stage fright... When I'm actually in the head of the character, I'm okay. It's when I come out of it that I get a little... But I always feel like if you're not nervous, then something else is wrong. Like, I think being nervous is good.
I try to... I over prepare. Like I wanna know the lines inside out... so you want it to come out just naturally... Go in there and then you can have some fun.
No, but I know their lines... I know the cue. But it's also tough when someone doesn't know their lines because then that messes with me and my performance.
Yeah... I feel bad for them. I do. Because you don't know what the circumstances are that makes them not be able to perform... it gets into your head and then you choke. So I do feel bad for them."
Sally Field says Robin Williams shut down filming on Mrs. Doubtfire for the day when he found out her father had just died
"I got a call from the doctor that my father had had another massive stroke."
"But please lean down and tell him that Sally says goodbye."
"I was doing the scene about the kids being taken away from the father. It was what happened to my father."
"And Robin turned around and said, that's it for the day, guys. We're just wrapped here. We're done for the day."
She went straight from that phone call to a scene about a family getting split up, and she was a child of divorce herself. Nobody on that set knew. Robin just noticed something was off and asked her. Then he did the one thing the guy at the top of the call sheet can always do. He ended the day and walked her out himself. More than thirty years later she still tells it like it happened last week.

Will Smith reveals the exact formula he used at 18 years old to reverse-engineer his path to becoming the biggest movie star in the world.
“I said I wanted to be the biggest movie star in the world. So the first thing that we did is we looked at, okay, well what are the top 10 movies of all time? We looked at the top 10 movies, we said, well what are the patterns? And at the time, 10 out of 10 were special effects movies. And 9 out of 10 were special effects movies with creatures. And 8 out of 10 were special effects movies with creatures and a love story. So that’s where the bent for me towards sci-fi movies came from… Independence Day was a no-brainer, and then Men in Black was behind that. It’s that kind of systemized algorithm, looking for the pattern.”
I know I've been talking about Stavros Halkias a lot lately, but this is the EXACT move he has been making with his podcast and it is going to be hilarious when it comes back to bite him in the ass in the same way.
@ilysoli i’m talking about atrioc, who in 2023 was caught on stream having a website open where you have to pay for access to deepfake content of female streamers. the specific page it showed had photos of me, digitally altered to look extremely inappropriate.
