Gerard Butler+me=bffs forevaaa
December 28, 2009 · 2 Comments
So it’s my first day at work-I’ve literally been standing in the same square-foot of space for an hour. (That’s basically my job. I do it very well.) ....
So I’m saying hello to people ascending the stairs to my floor, when I see this new group of people led by a blonde woman. I say hello, she says hi, I take note that she’s Scottish (best and hardest accents to perfect, I think) and then out of nowhere, BOOM Gerard Butler it inches from my face and says, “Excuse me, can you settle a bet with me and my friends?”
“Uh, yes sure.”
(pointing to the mural)
“Is that a man dressed up as a woman on a horse?”
“You know, I’ve been standing here for oh, an hour, and yes, I definitely think that’s a dude.”
“YES! Thank you! I totally was right! My friends and I were looking at it downstairs and were like, what the hell??
“Haha ya that’s totally a guy…”
“Well, thanks very much!”
So he walks away with his family (I think maybe it was his sister or something, and then the cutest little Scottish girls ever) to go shop and I continue to stand. Then I start sort of dancing in place, something recommended to me by my employees so your feet don’t hurt as bad at the end of the day, when I look over to my left, and there’s Mr. Butler sort of dancing, too. We both look at each other and proceed to dance. I’d like to note that I’m a really nerdy dancer. So is he. Oh god. We laugh and stop and we continue on our own duties-oh but I will never forget those ten seconds of dancing bliss. When he and his group were done shopping they went down my stairs and Gerard said, “thanks very much,” to which I said in possibly the most boring tone of voice ever, “Bye.” I think I was tired and sort of in shock, maybe? There was so much I wanted to say, “I AM AN ACTOR!!! I KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!! WE’RE TOTALLY GOING TO BE IN A MOVIE TOGETHER!!! SPARTA!!!”
NO NO. bye.
But the cherry on top of the whole experience was after I said bye, he goes up to the horse/woman/man (way to represent different sexual orientations work!!) and points and mouths at me “What the hell?” to which I laugh and shrug.
Oh Gerard. One day we will meet again…..
It’s moments like this when I just have to take it as some sort of sign that I’ll forever be an actor and be in the business. I love those moments of random realizations when you know EXACTLY what a result will be. It happened to me while I was brushing my teeth one morning, and then at work pre-Gerard, when I just knew I’ll be making my living as an actor. Because that’s who I am. And it’s so easy to be impatient about it-I’m already freaking out that I’ve wasted time and I should be auditioning more and blah blah blah…but I think we all just need to take a step back. I’ve only moved here three months ago, even though it feels like forever, and I’ve only had a job to pay my rent for, a week. But it’s going to start happening, rather, I’m going to start happening. Uhh ya…word…play… I need to be the hardest working person in all of show business. And I don’t think I could have done that four years ago, hell, one year ago. I have a better sense of self and self-confidence than I’ve had in years. Still scared shitless? Yes. But I don’t know if that should go away. I think it’s ok to be scared about something you love. If you’re not even secretly scared, is that even love? I ask you.
So anywho, thankYOU Gerard Butler, for being very nice and funny, to the poor girl standing at a lame job. And one day I’ll be laughing about that first meeting at an interview on E!.
