No, I don't know if you're aware of this,
but you become one of those people,
those famous people, that other famous people tell stories about
meeting.
Like, I think the people in that category are like
Beyoncé and
President Obama, Mrs. Obama, Oprah,
like Willie Nelson, maybe. And then you,
for instance, Brie Larson was here.
Yes. Do you recall the experience you had with her?
Of course I do. I love Brie.
It was a full breakdown.
Mentally, you know, she grew up.
She watched the movie Selena.
She's just this, you know.
I guess has been a a fan for a long
time and and kind of was inspired to act because
not kind of.
Not kind of. This is more than kind of.
Here we go. I'm living my dream.
But no. I see. General.
Oh my God. General. I know,
I know it's Jennifer Lopez.
I know, I know, I know it's Jenna.
I can't deal with Jlo.
No, I know this is how we all feel.
Trust me. We all get this way.
I even almost cry. I'm
going to be an actor.
No,
I can't. I'm going to cry.
I'm going to cry.
I
can't.
You mean so much to me.
Oh my God.
That is. I mean it's
very sweet.
I I still get so overwhelmed.
Like I could cry right now.
Really From that. From her crying.
Yes. It's a lot to like kind of to absorb
isn't it?
The sudden, you know you go along in this career
and you you have ups and downs and you
you do your best work and you are always trying
to do your best.
And then when you see that you've done something or
anything that could have that reaction from somebody,
it's just very moving. It's have you had that?
Have you been in breeze position and had that reaction
with some.
Oh my God, yes. Yes,
I have with Barbra Streisand.
Oh my mom. You guys know of course who Barbra
Streisand.
Just
sometimes a young audience. Yeah.
I know. If not we're going to have to leave.
Yes. Yeah,
but I, my mom grew up loving Barbra Streisand,
so she passed that on to me and the love
of musicals and kind of all that stuff.
And so when I, you know,
was in Hollywood and I was acting in,
it was, you know, 20-30 years ago,
I met her and I just was just like,
Oh my God, I love
you. And she was so much.
She was like, Oh my God,
you know, she just kind of was like
asking me to look at my engagement ring at the
time that Ben had given me years ago and lots
of kind of just,
you know, so that's a big diamond.
And you know, and I was like,
yes, it is. And she was like,
and I just anything she said and she was like,
I don't know how you're famous because at that time
I had done my
albums and things like that and and she was like,
I just, and I'm thinking to myself,
you're the most famous person ever.
And she was just had this thing of like,
how did I handle fame?
And I was like, she was just surreal.
Yes, it was so surreal.
But I was just so taken by her And she
was very nice and wound up giving me kind of
advice on movies.
She gave me that I
that has stuck with me.
Yeah. She told me 5 good scenes,
5 good scenes, 5 good scenes are what you look
for in a script that you have to have five
good scenes that people will not forget.
And I always think about that when I'm reading a
script.
I'm like, where's the scene?
Did you did you then take it to the next
level?
Dig? Have you been invited to the mall she's constructed?
No. But Oh my God,
that would be a dream come true.
Would it? Yeah. Oh my God.
I would love it, 'cause I seen all her movies
and everything.
Yeah, 'cause you know, she's got a mall.
I know. I When she did her book,
she did a thing with one of the people and
I
saw it.
