Birth of an actor

"Yes, the filming is over." William walked into the kitchen to pour himself a glass of water, looked at Tobey Maguire and asked, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

"There is a very important audition tomorrow, I can't sleep, so I will practice again in front of the mirror."

"Come on, you can do it." William patted his roommate on the shoulder and yawned: "I'm going to sleep first."

Tobey Maguire bade him good night with energy.

William walked towards the bedroom while exhorting: "Don't practice too late, go to bed early."

"Got it," Tobey Maguire replied in his characteristic limp voice.

Although jet lag makes people drowsy, the biological clock developed by months of busy shooting still made William wake up naturally after only four or five hours of sleep. He yawned, rubbed his eyes, and casually put on a pair of shorts He went to wash up, and when he finished cleaning and went to the kitchen to make breakfast, it was already 07:30, and Toby's bedroom door was still tightly closed, and no movement could be heard.

After thinking about it, William went to the door and knocked: "Toby, are you there? It's already 07:30, your audition—"

The door was suddenly pulled open from the inside, and Tobey Maguire rushed to the bathroom while getting dressed in a hurry: "Please make me a cup of coffee, William, I'm going to be late!"

"No problem." Hearing the sound of "squeaking" water coming from the bathroom, William shrugged, resigned to his fate, went to the kitchen to turn on the coffee machine, and called a taxi for Toby.

When the kitchen was filled with the bitter aroma of coffee, Toby came out of the bathroom dressed up and put on the best suit in his closet, which was specially tailored by him in a famous brand store. It was custom-made and cost more than half of the salary of the previous film.

Seeing my roommate transform from a slovenly nerd into a handsome handsome guy exuding elite temperament in the blink of an eye-except for the fact that he looks only seventeen or eighteen years old with a baby face, he is really handsome——William He blew a whistle to save face.

Toby poured himself a cup of coffee, sniffed his nose intoxicatedly, and drank it all in one gulp. Then he grabbed a sandwich and stuffed it into his mouth, saying vaguely: "What is happiness? Happiness is not having to work on your own after getting up early. , there is ready coffee and delicious breakfast!”

"I also called a taxi for you." William looked at his watch: "It will be about 5 minutes later."

"Baby Will, you are so sweet!" Toby opened his arms to give William a hug.

William avoided his mayonnaise-stained hands.

Tobey Maguire adjusted his tie: "How do I look?"

William rested his chin and looked at it for a while: "The choice of tie is a bit strange."

Tobey Maguire looked down at his black striped suit and gold paisley tie, and didn't think it was strange.

William couldn't help rolling his eyes: "Paisley, or a wide tie? It doesn't match your poke shirt at all, not only does it look almost as thick as your neck, but it looks more like Is it the choice of lawyers, psychologists or playboys?"

Hearing these words, Tobey Maguire looked in the mirror again, only to realize that the tie seemed to be quite thick, but the lower body was fine, combined with his own small head... a disaster.

"Should I replace it?" Tobey Maguire blinked and looked at William helplessly.

"Wait for me five minutes."

Thirty seconds later, William emerges from his room holding a gray-blue silk bordeaux tie with polka dots. He orders Toby to raise his arms, and then he puts on the gold paisley tie and replaces it with the bordeaux tie. It was polka-dotted, and quickly tied a Windsor knot for the other party.

Tobey Maguire looked in the mirror, and was surprised to find that he had just changed a tie, and his temperament had changed subtly—from a young man who forced his father to wear mature clothes to a man with a bit of literary temperament young people.

"Actually, if it's not too late, I'd like you to change into a shirt with an Eaton collar, which will make you look fresher and more lively, in line with your temperament." William said with some regret.

"This is already great." Tobey Maguire praised sincerely: "Will, what would I do without you."

"There's no more milk in the refrigerator." William pointed out.

"I'll drop by the supermarket when I get back."

William smiled with satisfaction.

With a sandwich in three minutes and another cup of coffee, Tobey Maguire was ready to go, looking confident: "Who's the most handsome today?"

"...Tobey Maguire." William supported his forehead, but still answered dutifully.

"Who has the best acting skills?"

"Tobey Maguire!"

"Who has the most manly voice?"

"Baby Toby?"

"I hate you, Will!"

"Okay." William coughed lightly, emphasizing each word in a slow way: "The man with the most handsome, most handsome, deepest voice, most magnetic, and amazing acting skills in the Los Angeles area is Toby Ma Quill!"

"Full of energy, I'm off!" Tobey Maguire winked at William before going out, and said in his highly recognizable milky voice: "I forgot to say yesterday that after returning from England, your accent became cuter."

'Mine is charming, your voice is cute, okay? ’William waved his roommate off, and slandered: “Every time you speak, it’s like the strings of a piano are trembling after being plucked. You have a baby face and a small milky voice. You are destined to be with a man.” role is gone.Poor Toby. '

As for the words just now, the two often play around like this before the audition, to increase their confidence and courage for each other.

Although I don't know what role Toby is trying for today, William knows that for him, every audition opportunity now is precious-Tobey Maguire broke into Hollywood several years before William, and now William has Instead of starring in movies, Toby only had a starring role in one sitcom, The Fantastic Scott, and that show was canceled after only nine weeks.

After breakfast, the apartment was cleaned again. In order to resist the drowsiness caused by jet lag, William turned on the record player and exercised with dumbbells while listening to music.

Although the land is sparsely populated and the agriculture is well developed, the American diet is actually not very healthy. One is the dietary structure. Chicken, beef, butter, cheese, and potatoes are the daily staple food. Fast food restaurants are everywhere. Many people even take fast food as a day. Three meals, these are all high-calorie things. It is too easy for people to gain weight. Another reason is that food safety in the United States has always been a hot issue in society. Most of the meat, dairy, corn, etc. in supermarkets , Soybeans are all produced by the four major companies headed by Swift. These oligopoly companies monopolize 80.00% of the meat market share in the United States. Although some fruits and vegetables are cheap, it is no news that they contain a lot of growth hormones, antibiotics, pesticides, and preservatives.

When people say that the American diet is healthy, they basically refer to the dining tables above the middle class. Middle-class families will install expensive water quality filters at home and go to green supermarkets to buy organic food. The cost is the monthly consumption of food. The average family is hundreds of dollars more.

Because it is too easy to gain weight, and people are always used to associate obese people with lazy and greedy character, so there is a popular saying in the United States that "your weight is the declaration of your social class, and obese people belong to the lower class".

Therefore, Americans generally like sports, but they are actually forced to do so.

Those who are fit and have eight-pack abs may already regard fitness as the biggest hobby in life.

In Hollywood, for all kinds of stars, the body line and facial features are equally important, especially those actors who are not too handsome and use the tough guy image as their selling point, such as Bruce Willis, Sylvie Action superstars such as Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Jean-Claude Van Damme, after accepting the contract of every action film that sells muscles, have to do at least several months of muscle training before starting the film. Only then can the perfect body line be shown in front of the camera.

William sometimes can't control his mouth. He loves all delicious pizza, pasta and burgers, so in order to maintain a thin body, he spends more time in fitness every day than driving and watching TV.

After an hour of step-by-step fitness exercises, William's upper body soaked in a layer of crystal sweat. He took off his undershirt and shorts and threw them into the washing machine. He only wore a pair of underwear and took a towel to take a shower.

The doorbell rang at this moment.

William looked at the time. It had only been about two hours since Toby left the house. Could it be that the audition ended so soon?

He opened the door casually, and was stunned for a moment when he saw a blond young man who was a little familiar and a little strange standing outside the door.

Leonardo DiCaprio outside the door was also stunned looking at the almost naked man in front of him.

……

"Hi." William blinked.

"Toby, did you go for plastic surgery? You also had bone lengthening surgery?" A series of words came out of Leonardo DiCaprio's unthinking brain: "And why does the plastic surgery look familiar to me?"

"I'm not Toby, but his roommate." William turned his body to make way for a passage: "William Bradley, you can call me Will."

"Ah! I remember you!" Leonardo's eyes widened a little: "We met during the audition, you are going to report to the crew soon, aren't you? Toby's roommate is actually you! Why didn't we seen?"

"Probably because I rarely live here? Come in. Coffee? Beer or juice?"

"Orange juice, thanks." Leonardo found the sofa in the living room and sat on it very naturally as soon as he entered the door, and then looked at William: "Toby said he found a reliable roommate, I thought he was lying As for me, to be honest, I can't even bear those three chapters of his harsh agreement! You must be a very, very good character to be able to bear his conditions."

William poured a glass of juice for Leonardo: "How did you come up with the conclusion that Toby's roommate is equal to a good guy?"

Leonardo smiled very familiarly: "Actually, what I just wanted to say is that Toby's roommate must be a chicken, or he is so ugly that he has no friends."

William tilted his head and looked at Leonardo, raising his eyebrows.

"Of course, you must belong to the kind who is so handsome that you have no friends!" Leonarda hurriedly remedied: "Like me, you have a good personality, good looks, you don't take drugs or alcohol and love acting, but you have more female friends. Uh, he would often come to me to talk about his ideals in life, but Toby turned him away. His terms for choosing a roommate were too harsh. He didn't look like a Hollywood guy, but rather like a freak math professor from a polytechnic university. I thought he would never find a co-tenant in his life." Leonardo said while shrugging.

"So this is the actor you just stared at me at the door? Like a young girl." William admitted that he was revenge for the sentence "too ugly to have no friends".

"I'm not interested in you. You're not blond, blue-eyed, long-legged and big-breasted." Leonardo made a puking expression, but couldn't help but turn his eyes on William who was only wearing underwear - blue eyes, There are long legs, big breasts... yes, but no blonde hair.

Bah bah bah.Leonardo scolded himself in his heart, what kind of mess is he thinking about?

Tobey Maguire, who finished the audition early, just pushed away the apartments, and came across this scene: his roommate and best friend were staring at each other, one looked up, one was condescending, one was sitting in a slightly girlish posture, and one... was wearing only panties?

"Leo, Will, what the hell are you doing?"
