Amanda Seyfried passed on Gamora in Guardians of the Galaxy, she hated the idea of being painted blue for hours every day and was convinced a film about a talking tree and a raccoon would flop.

Josh Horowitz: Did you realize immediately that the role wasn’t for you, or did that feeling grow over time?

Amanda Seyfried: It grew. “The thought of being stuck in blue makeup for four and a half hours every morning and night really freaked me out. I’d only just met James Gunn, and at the same time I wanted to do Seth MacFarlane’s A Million Ways to Die in the West instead of spending six months living in London.”

“I also figured being part of Marvel’s first big flop wouldn’t help my career. A movie centered on a talking tree and a talking raccoon felt like it was destined to bomb, and I worried Chris Pratt and I would never work together again.”

“I was totally wrong, James Gunn is a genius who can pull off anything, but I was in a fragile spot in my career back then. Green-screen suits and all that just weren’t my thing, and I still don’t regret saying no.”

Jeremy Renner recounts getting sucked under a snowplow, ending up with 38 broken bones and an eyeball hanging out, and the strange thing he did while lying on the ice.

Jeremy Renner: I just reacted. My instinct was to jump back on it and try to stop it. That obviously didn’t work. I got run over. I leaped up and over to grab onto it and got sucked right under the whole thing.

Joe Rogan: How much of your body actually got run over?

Jeremy Renner: All of it. 38 broken bones and my eyeball was out. The doctors kept saying they didn’t know how the eye was still functioning. I think the ice helped. I could literally see my eye with my other eye, so I was like, “Let me try to keep that thing… put the eye on ice until I could figure out how to breathe.”

Joe Rogan: 38 bones?

Jeremy Renner: Yeah. A ton of ribs, spiral fractures in both legs, all my joints were broken. But my spine was spared, all my organs were spared, my brain. At the end of the day it’s almost no harm, no foul, even though there’s probably 20% titanium in my body now.

Most people lose money investing because they treat the market like a casino, chasing quick hype and panic-selling the second charts turn red.

True wealth isn't built on lucky stock picks. It's built on expanding your income shovel, setting your monthly buy-ins on automatic, and staying completely numb to market volatility.

You don't need to outsmart Wall Street. You just need the discipline to stay in the game long enough for compounding to take over.

Scarlett Johansson revealed that filming the first Avengers felt like a chaotic mess where the cast looked insane and no one was sure it would work, until the iconic 360° Grand Central shot made them finally realize it could actually succeed.

Scarlett Johansson: “When we made the first Avengers, none of us knew its potential. Iron Man built Marvel, but adding Thor, Cap, Hulk, and Hawkeye felt like a big mess. On set we all looked insane and thought, “What are we doing?”

“We had blind faith in Kevin Feige and Joss Whedon. The 360-degree shot of all of us in front of Grand Central was the moment we realized it might actually work. Watching the playback felt powerful and cool, even though shooting it often didn’t.”

“We were young, had a blast, and became close friends.”

Michelle Obama admits she refuses to use Apple Pay because she doesn’t want to be tracked, and still keeps cash in her wallet “untouched for a decade”

Michelle Obama: At certain times of the year, I can walk in a town and just go shopping… Sometimes I forget how to use my credit card.

Amy Poehler: Well, now you don’t have to. Now you just use Apple Pay… You know Apple Pay, right?

Michelle Obama: I do, but I don’t use it. I’m trying to not do stuff on my phone.

Amy Poehler: Well, that’s a little boomer-y, Michelle.

Michelle Obama: I know, but I don’t want to be tracked.

Amy Poehler: We’re all tracked. We’re all cooked. There’s no way not to be.

Michelle Obama: But what if they get your phone information and take your information? You own a house…

Amy Poehler: Everyone’s going to have their identity stolen 15 times in their lifetime. That doesn’t matter anymore. We’re in real trouble.

Michelle Obama: When the system crashes, I’m still going to have cash. I have cash in my wallet untouched for a decade.

Amy Poehler: I do love cash. My dad always taught me to always have cash on you.

Michelle Obama: Maybe I shouldn’t have said that to the world… But I guess I’m good because I also have this security guy with a gun.

@vazbavi It’s getting really bad too

[Fola @OFolaby]

Tom Cruise reveals he refuses to use email and bans his production teams from messaging him because he believes technology isolates celebrities from real humanity.

“First of all, it’s a beautiful thing to walk into a room and see people smile. It really is beautiful because I want to create. I love all kinds of music and movies, and being able to play in those arenas”

“It opens those doors to humanity in a real way, and I like being right there in it”

“Don’t lock me in a room. I want to be with the people. In the production meetings, don’t send me emails. We’re going to sit down and communicate. I like face-to-face”

“I see it as an absolute privilege and a responsibility”

Chris Pratt showed up to Marvel at 285 lbs thinking he’d already blown the Star-Lord audition. Then Kevin Feige slapped down a photo of him shredded in his underwear from Ellen and asked if he could get back to that shape in 7 months. He did, and got the call on the drive home.

Interviewer: Do you remember the moment you got it?

Chris Pratt: Yeah. I was 285 lbs when I sat down with Kevin Feige. I’d just come off Delivery Man, where I’d gotten up to like 300. Before that I’d gotten pretty jacked for Zero Dark Thirty, and my brother made me show the picture on Ellen, he was like, “No one knows you got jacked.”

So Feige pulls out that photo of me in my underwear and goes, “Can you do this?”
I said, “How long do I got?”
He said, “Seven months.”

I told him I could blow it out of the water. Then on the drive home they called me and said, “Dude, you got it.” Yeah… I got a little emotional.

Sylvester Stallone Reveals the Director Destroyed the Entire Set After He Refused to Let Rambo Die in First Blood.

“The director goes, ‘That’s not the way it’s got to be.’ I go, ‘That’s the way it’s got to be. He shouldn’t die. He doesn’t deserve to die.’”

“He’s got to die.”
“He’s not going to die.”
“Die, die, not die, die, not…”

“He throws a moose head through the window, flips over the desk, takes the guns off the rack and smashes them over chairs.”

“Literally, it was a storm that went around me. The entire set was gone.”

“I’m not going to do it.”

They sued him and brought him back five months later. His hair was different, his body was different, and he no longer had the “feral look.”

“They shot me in the stomach, like in the book.”

“It was met with boos and jeers.”

Riley Reid says OnlyFans is killing real work ethic and that making 80k a month from your bedroom is the opposite of ambition

“I feel like OnlyFans does not teach people how to have a job. Like, it doesn’t teach you any real work ethics.”

“You see that you’re not the only person who’s relying on this. There’s a sound guy, the person who’s checking me in for my paperwork, the makeup artist, the PA, the director… it’s like a corporation.”

“Porn taught me… I learned how to work and function on a set. Like I learned how to set up lights and do the sound and all this stuff.”

“You’re just 22 taking stuff by yourself, editing your own pictures and then posting it and making like 80k a month and it’s like… where’s the drive for real ambition?”

“The dicks I sucked because it was my job and I didn’t complain. You watched that video and masturbated to it and you would have no idea that I wasn’t super stoked to be there. But it was my job.”

Ryan Reynolds watched Kevin Feige’s face while Deadpool went in on the MCU multiverse… and Feige just sat there wincing the whole time

Ryan Reynolds: “I loved watching Kevin Feige watch the thing back, cut together… where Deadpool’s like, ‘Listen, we don’t have to do this. There’s a big fight about to happen,’ and they’re like, ‘No, we’re gonna f*ck you up,’ or whatever the line is.

And then he goes, ‘No, no, I’m not talking about the fight. I mean the multiverse. It’s just not working. It’s not great. It’s been miss after miss after miss. It’s been two Ant-Mans forward and one Black Adam back.’

Kevin winced on every single ‘miss.’
But then… what a sport.”

Victoria Beckham revealed that David only told her in their Netflix documentary that they weren’t actually in a position to keep funding her fashion brand, even though they share everything.

Alex: You went to David for financial help. What was that conversation like?

Victoria: It was difficult. He’s always believed in me and supported me, but I was new to the industry.

It wasn’t until the final scene in the documentary that he told me for the first time we couldn’t really afford it. We share everything, but I had no idea we weren’t in a position to keep propping up the business.

Alex: Do you think he didn’t want you to feel stressed?

Victoria: No. He genuinely believed in what I was doing and saw the potential. It’s never been a vanity project for me.

Alex: Now that it’s profitable and growing, what does that mean to you?

Victoria: I spent a long time fixing it. Now I have solid foundations to finally build the house I’ve always dreamed of.

Noah Wyle says the moment Tom Cruise walked into the room on the set of A Few Good Men, he finally understood what a real movie star looks like.

Noah Wyle: “I had a very small part in A Few Good Men. I got called in to rehearse the courtroom scene at the Sony lot. Kevin Bacon, Kevin Pollak, Demi Moore, Rob Reiner, and Aaron Sorkin were all there.”

“We were just about to start when the stage door opened. Backlight hit him, a shaft of light, and in walks Tom Cruise.”

“He was wearing a white V-neck, blue jeans, cowboy boots, a baseball cap, and carrying a leather satchel. But in my mind, he was in a tuxedo. He just radiated. He glowed.
I thought, ‘Oh, that’s what a star is. They glow.’”

“I couldn’t take my eyes off him. He was pure charisma the entire time.”

Jon Cryer says Charlie Sheen could’ve kept Two and a Half Men going for years longer, but he acted like the show wasn’t built around him.

“The show could have run way longer if he wanted to. There was no reason for us to stop if he could keep it together.
He would find things to be mad at in the writing, and it was so frustrating because he acted like he had no say.”

“The writers were incredibly deferential to him. All he had to do was say, ‘Hey, this feels shallow, this doesn’t make sense to me,’ and they would’ve jumped over the moon for him.”

“But he just wouldn’t say anything. He’d complain to me backstage, then the second we ran the scene in rehearsal and it got laughs, he wouldn’t say a word.
If you don’t tell them, they listen to you. You’re the star of the show.”

Tom Holland says these 3 movie roles are the ones Hollywood actors are literally afraid to touch, Jason Bourne, Iron Man, and Wolverine.

Tom Holland: “There are only three people I think that have ever really done this… and it’s you, Downey, and Hugh Jackman.

No one wants to play Jason Bourne. No one wants to play Iron Man. And no one wants to play Wolverine.

I’m the third person to play Spider-Man. There’s been a bunch of Batmans, a bunch of Supermans, all that stuff. But there are only a few characters in this industry where it just feels like… just leave them alone.”

@Scar_gin It really is? 😂

[Fola @OFolaby]

Stallone was incredibly skeptical of the Rocky biopic because they usually make these movies after you’ve kicked the bucket, but then he saw the audition tape and thought he was looking at himself.

“At first I went in there being incredibly skeptical because usually they make these movies after you’ve kicked the bucket. So now they’re doing it while you’re alive so you can critique it.”

“But when I saw his audition tape that he did in the beginning, I thought I was sort of looking at myself.”

Ft @ Gilbert Arenas

[Fola @OFolaby]

Gilbert Arenas calls out Michael’s teammate for wasting the chance to learn from Michael Jordan every day in practice, wondering how they watched him work and still stayed sorry players.

"We really actually have to sit back and say, Michael Jordan played for the Bulls and worked out every day. Y'all watched him work on his fadeaway every goddamn day and couldn't mimic it?”

“What were you doing in practice while Michael Jordan was doing Michael Jordan? Like everybody else watching, you might as well have just bought a ticket to the game.”

“When people say he made you better, you remember he's practicing against somebody every day, how come that guy didn't get any better? His ass stayed the same sorry ass.”

“If I got to play with and work out with that dude every single day, I couldn't wait, and then you look at the team like, 'Wait, how come y'all sorry?'"
