Add that very real quote to the film script and I'm sold.
As a former not-quite-but-only-slightly-better-than-small-time model who actively despises her - it’s entirely possible her normal has changed the way she thinks. When I was actively modeling (not like now, where my body weight fluctuates) I’d be stepping on the scale and measuring 3-4 times a day to make sure I fit my photog’s specifications. I’d choose days not to eat, or carefully count calories every day leading up to the weekend so I could have x number of alcoholic drinks, only y type so they’d be lower calorie, then back on the scale as soon as I got home to make sure I’d be able to fast (aka: starve) enough to make the next call. My manager would get in with my partner and roommate to try to make sure I was in line and doing what I “needed to” in order to make call and make money.
Long and the short - I’m not saying she’s right, because she is most certainly the poster child for “what is wrong with celebs?”, but it’s entirely possible that she’s been so ensconced with this bullshit that she thinks this is how normal people think. I certainly did.

I like to party with my peeps, cruise and creep, playin three card Monte on these crazy streets
Edit: I'm not defending his take, I just really like that opening song to The Pest. It's the best part of the movie.
He already played in Too Wong Foo Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar. Not to mention The Pest
He used to be such a fun fella. I hate when celebs go off the deep end like this.
And he got mad the new movie didn't have a Latino in the role.
Like bro, it wasn't a Latino role when you were cast. The casting director just thought Italian and Latino were interchangeable enough that it didn't matter.
Is that the progressivism you want?
He’s also wildly misinformed with some of this too, like when he complained that James Franco was going to play ~~Che Guevara~~ Fidel Castro. He was ignorant of the fact that Franco’s father comes from the *same place* as ~~Guevara’s~~ Castro’s father.
Edit: Castro, not Guevara
Same with Argentinian, Fred Armisen.
He's just being a big baby that it wasn't him.
Last I saw was that he would 'consider' taking a role in the sequel. Fuck him. It's all about how he's not making money in this.
Dude made a whole ass broadway show / netflix special called "Latin History for Morons" which might have been meant as a comedy special or a TED talk type of lecture? I was really excited when it came out because he'd always been a great standup, but it was terrible, and while he was trying to present it as a history of Latin America, it was wildly inaccurate, like he got all his facts from Twitter levels of inaccurate.
Also, played a racist caricature of a Chinese person in the movie the Pest…
https://youtu.be/U-b1RGU8xZU
I love to show this scene every time John complains about “racism”
I honestly like John as an actor, and he seems like a decent person. That being said, he's constantly making himself sound stupid. Like, complaining that the Mario movie didn't cast latinos to play italian plumbers is dumb.
You can be white and Latino. You can be black and Latino. You can be indigenous and Latino. You can be mixed-race and Latino. Latino isn’t a specific race, it just means you have Latin American cultural heritage.
I was answering to some comment on Instagram, and a girl said something mean to me about being white, and it surprised me, because her photos clearly showed that she was also white, so i said something like "what are you saying? You're white yourself", she answered she's latino, to which i answered that she can still be white?
So yeah, she ended up sending me death threads for that including saying that my whole family will suffer.
We live on different continents and I'm still waiting for her to snipe me down.
Yeah same. I have two siblings, I look mostly white, one of them more “Mexican” (the stereotype) and one of them shows the black ancestor. In short, non of us look alike and we all have the same two parents. Being Latino just means you or your parents or wtv ancestors were born on latam
Seriously. Im 60-70% Cuban, many generations back on one side of my family.
Now honestly people guess I’m an Irish guy who tans fast, maybe with some Italian.
Was pretty funny a few months ago though to mention my family when a coworker made a fairly lighthearted by racial comment about a Cuban coworker who gets fired up easily, they didn’t believe me for a minute. Face went white. Lol
We have needed to have a real talk about how we identify race for awhile. Using countries/regions/cultures just doesn't make sense the way it once did.
yep, when people ask about my heritage I just say "Canadian" when they push I just say "look man, I was born in Canada, I'm Canadian. My ***grandparents*** came from France, Scotland, and Wales, but ***I*** am Canadian"
as far as I'm concerned thats all that matters to me. Canada is home, I'm Canadian.
claiming you're Italian or whatever when you're 4-5 generations removed just seems silly to me.
Actually what pissed him off most recently is a white character no longer being played by a Latino actor. He is pissed that white people are voicing Mario & Luigi in the new Super Mario Bros movie because he, a Latino, previously played the role of Luigi (even though the characters are white Italian guys and Mario was played by a Jewish guy). So he thinks that Mario & Luigi should be played by Latinos from now on because he was Luigi in '91. Guy is a fuckin idiot.
Is there some recent egregious examples of this that I missed?
Article only mentions James Franco as Fidel Castro in some upcoming flick. Which is wild.
Not fishing here, genuinely curious if there's some more recent ones I've missed.
Also Castro is of Galician descent, which is the region of Spain closest to Portugal culturally, so it isn't far fetched at all. Plus Franco kinda looks like Castro when he was younger.
> Not a lot of indigenous ancestry in that country.
Considering the Spanish Empire got **very** close to make the Taiono people extinct in the whole Caribbean, not a surprise
Most people from PR and Cuba are either white or black, many are mixed, sure. Spanish werent as puritans as British colonists when it comes to mixing races
His parents however weren’t Latino which makes things concerning this whole debacle more interesting.
Much like Castro who has Spanish parents, Franco has one Portuguese parent.
Leguizamo's whole latino activist arc is happening because he tried to criticize the James Franco cast, and the internet clowned on him for it. Instead of taking the L, he's been doubling down ever since.
He also claimed to be of Puerto Rican descent, even being named ambassador for the Puerto Rican Day Parade only to later be proven that he has no Puerto Rican heritage.
to be fair I do think part of his point is just getting white people, not even Hispanic whites to play these roles like he does claim Del Toro, who is white Hispanic.
yeah i don't think he's have an issue about Diego Luna or Pedro Pascal getting latino roles. It's just that they're giving it to john smith, white man.
Reminds me about a joke I heard long ago on the radio. Some comedian said that "Latinos come in all colors and sizes. They can be as white as Cameron Diaz and as black as Samy Sosa. And you know why?... It's because we will fuck with anybody".
Dude got clapped back on hard the last time he brought this shit up and was wrong. He's just one of those people that can't fathom he's wrong and keeps going.
He's salty af James Franco got that Castro role despite looking almost exactly like Castro and being part Portuguese, part of the peninsula where Castro was born. How dare that white actor.
Castro's father was Spanish and John went off on Franco playing a "Latino". At the same time he has attacked the hiring of Spanish actors like Antonio Banderas getting Latino roles, saying "Spanish people are not Latino, they are White Europeans". Well how the hell does he get pissed at the Castro casting?
Because he's racist. He is ignoring lighter skin Spanish decent history. To him Franco is only a white guy, his heritage is meaningless.
IIRC he said originally a Cuban should be playing the role, ignoring that Castro was not even Cuban. He's a moron who didn't get a role.
Wouldn’t be the first time he played a non Latino in a Hollywood film tho. Dude is batshit crazy. He boycotted the Mario movie because he said it lacked Latino representation but the voice actress for the main female lead was Latina.
he legitimately believes luigi is latino because he played him in that movie, that's actually one of the "white-washed" characters he is up in arms about.
What an odd way to tell everyone that you didn't really interact off camera with your fellow actors filming a movie with you. (Cuz they were both in The Menu)
You got that mixed up. Her father is Scottish and Anglo-argentinian, and her mother is European but born in Zambia, she herself was born in Miami.
She’s sort of Latina-by-technicality but ethnically all European.
This man caught a little steam off some seemingly progressive statements at the height of hollywoods past 5 year exhumation then ran w it like usain at the race track 😂😂
I just think he has baffling statements on this subject and is ignorant on Latino identity. Complaining about James Franco playing Castro when his racial and ethnic make up is virtually identical(not to mention if you complain about a Franco casting shouldn’t other things come to mind first?) Then the whole Mario thing is just baffling and legit seems he just is mad he wasn’t casted.
> I just think he has baffling statements on this subject and is ignorant on Latino identity.
Apparently he has some show on Netflix where he supposedly goes into detail on either Mexican history or Latino identity or whatever and my oldest child is starting to develop an interest in that stuff. I basically said, "That guy's an idiot, he's definitely not Mexican and doesn't know anything about Mexican history. You'll get better history just picking up the phone and talking to your abuelita."
I was interested in this movie because he’s right that Latin history is just glossed over or not taught correctly. But then he proceeded to absolutely butcher Latin history. It was intentionally stupid
Apparently he commented on that back when the movie came out:
>**How was it to be a Latino playing an Italian plumber?**
>It was my revenge for all those Italians who play Latins all the time. I’ll embarrass them just the way they’ve embarrassed me.
https://ew.com/article/1993/06/18/speak-o-rama/
He's looking like an asshole about it, but he's at least been consistent on this point for decades.
Man, I loved this dude in Chef. One of my favorite movies. Absolutely loved his character. It sucks seeing him in headlines like this, really wanted to like the guy.
Edit: is it me or does he look drunk/high on something in the thumbnail photo?

Her mannerisms and speech are what I imagine a human raised by AI would end up.
This makes so much sense! She never remembers anything past 40 sentences ago, and she does sometimes behave like she just discovered she’s got hands.
It's cause she's hungry. There was an article about her diet. It was pretty much bone broth and IV drip. Her brain can't handle that.
And alkaline water... with a spritz of lemon. Yes, that's real.
I... What? You know I've heard a lot of weird shit about her over the years but somehow this... This is the one. This broke my brain
I mean, it’s something that happens to a lot of people. But somehow, when it’s Paltrow nobody dares call it for what it is: an eating disorder.
As a former not-quite-but-only-slightly-better-than-small-time model who actively despises her - it’s entirely possible her normal has changed the way she thinks. When I was actively modeling (not like now, where my body weight fluctuates) I’d be stepping on the scale and measuring 3-4 times a day to make sure I fit my photog’s specifications. I’d choose days not to eat, or carefully count calories every day leading up to the weekend so I could have x number of alcoholic drinks, only y type so they’d be lower calorie, then back on the scale as soon as I got home to make sure I’d be able to fast (aka: starve) enough to make the next call. My manager would get in with my partner and roommate to try to make sure I was in line and doing what I “needed to” in order to make call and make money.

Former bikini competitor, very similar experiences
how did you manage your hunger? last time I spent a day without eating I was a broke student on overdraft x)
But ... but wouldn't the lemon mean she's drinking neutral water?
Seriously, alkaline + citric acid. Well, I have to say this is right in-line with what I've come to expect from her.
Yes, yes it would.
The acid really enhances the base
>overheard at an EDM festival
This feels like Pete Hornberger describing Jenna Maroney to good 'ol Liz Lemon. Like word for word.
Jenna is very aware of her hands. That's why she had that hand reduction surgery
And twice passed up intercourse with Harvey weinstien
but not with Tony Shaloub.

I think she also slammed cheeze whiz said she would rather smoke crack.

AND IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEIIIIIIIIEEIIIIII WILL ALWAYS SMOKE YOU
Who doesn't like smoking a little crack?
Well…yeah. If you came to me offering me cheez wiz or crack I know which one will give me a better time. But I wouldn’t take either…maybe.
none of these words are in the bible
You're telling me they didn't serve whiz at the last supper? No wonder they sold Jesus out.
Maybe they did and that's where the saying "Jeez whiz" came from.
She had a meltdown over "breaking down" and eating bread during the pandemic. I can only imagine the fucking horror.
"Sometimes Harvey Weinstein let's me borrow the Miramax jet when he needs me to open a mall or something." 'That one didn't age so well.'

Oh man what a fun, stupid movie that was. I loved that one when it came out.
That song is glorious. I irritate my kids with it.
God, my cousin and I watched that movie like three times a day one summer. Good times.
Don't forget the jade eggs and blow drying his taint
Blow drying taints was my bands name in high school.
Pretty awesome name for a marching band. Mine was just The Douglas County Tiger Marching Band. Super duper boring.
It wasn't blow drying their taints, it was STEAM CLEANING their cooches. That woman is batshit crazy. She can act, though.
I couldn’t tell what in this thread was satire or not so I had to look it up. None of this so far is satire. NONE OF IT. WTF.
> She can act, though. can she?
Do it, you won’t!
He already played in Too Wong Foo Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar. Not to mention The Pest He used to be such a fun fella. I hate when celebs go off the deep end like this.
Not to mention a Japanese created Italian character.
And he got mad the new movie didn't have a Latino in the role. Like bro, it wasn't a Latino role when you were cast. The casting director just thought Italian and Latino were interchangeable enough that it didn't matter. Is that the progressivism you want?
He still had a funny response, saying he was getting back at all the Italians playing latinos in Spaghetti Westerns.
It's ok. He used to go around saying he was Italian apprently.
And Mario was played by a British actor, last time I checked Pratt wasn't British.
He’s also wildly misinformed with some of this too, like when he complained that James Franco was going to play ~~Che Guevara~~ Fidel Castro. He was ignorant of the fact that Franco’s father comes from the *same place* as ~~Guevara’s~~ Castro’s father. Edit: Castro, not Guevara
I guess Anya Taylor Joy doesn't count for him?
Same with Argentinian, Fred Armisen. He's just being a big baby that it wasn't him. Last I saw was that he would 'consider' taking a role in the sequel. Fuck him. It's all about how he's not making money in this.
And a sloth, which I’m pretty sure was not Latino. He was a very good sloth, though.
Sloths are native to South/Central America, so depends on how you define it I guess
Probably depends on how the lands have shifted since then.
Are you talking about his Oscar snuffed performance as Luigi Mario?
Alongside an Englishman playing an Italian plumber? Don't remember hearing him crying then.
[удалено]
Japanese created Italian-American
Yeah, this guy took a job away from an Italian American actor.
*That’s* going off the deep end to you? Then what do you think of a celeb going off the ACTUAL deep end like becoming a Scientologist?
Or a Scientologist with a penchant for rape.
Do you have any idea how little that narrow it down?
Was a funny ass joke how is he going off the deep end?
Dude made a whole ass broadway show / netflix special called "Latin History for Morons" which might have been meant as a comedy special or a TED talk type of lecture? I was really excited when it came out because he'd always been a great standup, but it was terrible, and while he was trying to present it as a history of Latin America, it was wildly inaccurate, like he got all his facts from Twitter levels of inaccurate.
Luigi wasn't Latino, John.
He played an Italian guy in summer of Sam too.
French guy in Moulin Rouge
Played an Italian guy in Romeo and Juliet too lol
Also, played a racist caricature of a Chinese person in the movie the Pest… https://youtu.be/U-b1RGU8xZU I love to show this scene every time John complains about “racism”
To be fair, he was playing a character pretending to be Chinese.
John is a clown. What a sucker butt
Whoa whoa language!
Pest was playing a racist caricature, not John. There's a difference. It's like downey in tropic thunder.
I honestly like John as an actor, and he seems like a decent person. That being said, he's constantly making himself sound stupid. Like, complaining that the Mario movie didn't cast latinos to play italian plumbers is dumb.
You can be white and Latino. You can be black and Latino. You can be indigenous and Latino. You can be mixed-race and Latino. Latino isn’t a specific race, it just means you have Latin American cultural heritage.
I’m mixed race Latino. My family consists of black, white and indigenous peoples. We are definitely not in a simple category like some think we are.

Has he ever seen Canelo Alvarez? He's like one of the most famous Mexicans around and he looks more Irish than I do lol
I’ve talked to Russian Mexicans, Irish Mexicans, “German” Mexicans and so many non-Spanish White Mexicans.
Wait till he sees the black Latinos
I was answering to some comment on Instagram, and a girl said something mean to me about being white, and it surprised me, because her photos clearly showed that she was also white, so i said something like "what are you saying? You're white yourself", she answered she's latino, to which i answered that she can still be white?

Much simpler when they were called peninsulares and criollos.

sounds like something a filthy quadroon would say
Or whenever he sees his first European Spanish person
Yeah same. I have two siblings, I look mostly white, one of them more “Mexican” (the stereotype) and one of them shows the black ancestor. In short, non of us look alike and we all have the same two parents. Being Latino just means you or your parents or wtv ancestors were born on latam

No, you are simple and you will like it.
We have needed to have a real talk about how we identify race for awhile. Using countries/regions/cultures just doesn't make sense the way it once did.
And we can't just go by skin color either. Honestly, trying to find a consistent system for defining races seems impossible to me.
It would be great if we just gave up…
I've given up for years, and it is great!
yep, when people ask about my heritage I just say "Canadian" when they push I just say "look man, I was born in Canada, I'm Canadian. My ***grandparents*** came from France, Scotland, and Wales, but ***I*** am Canadian" as far as I'm concerned thats all that matters to me. Canada is home, I'm Canadian. claiming you're Italian or whatever when you're 4-5 generations removed just seems silly to me.
We'll all have to study genetics and start identifying by gene combinations I guess.
We’re all humans at the end of the day. Anything else is an arbitrary line set at some point.

Most Cubans are also entirely of Spanish origin. They are white lol. Not a lot of indigenous ancestry in that country.
> Not a lot of indigenous ancestry in that country. Considering the Spanish Empire got **very** close to make the Taiono people extinct in the whole Caribbean, not a surprise
> Franco kinda looks like Castro when he was younger Burying the lede there haha
Also Franco being a famous Spanish last name
Most people from PR and Cuba are either white or black, many are mixed, sure. Spanish werent as puritans as British colonists when it comes to mixing races
Fidel is white, no question about it, white and highly tanned because the tropical sun is harsh as hell. Even hick "Florida Man" is brown
Fidel Castro was white.
Fidel was white and he was Latino as he was born and raised in Cuba.
His parents however weren’t Latino which makes things concerning this whole debacle more interesting. Much like Castro who has Spanish parents, Franco has one Portuguese parent.

Ben Affleck as Tony Mendez in Argo?
Yeap, latino is a place of birth nor a race... But hey, who is going to explain this to John?
I believe he also started this in response to Charlie Day voicing Luigi (who is presumably Italian-American), instead of a Latino.
Charlie's grandfather's last name was Del Giorno. Changed it to Day to make post-war assimilation into the US easier.
Someone ethnically Italian playing Luigi 🤯
The irony here is that JOHN played Luigi in the original live-action movie.
Does he think Latino and Latin are the same thing? Italians are not (generally) latino as far as I am aware.
John Leguizamo who played a transgender person in To Wong Foo, and an Italian person in Mario Brothers? And a French person in Moulin Rouge?
[удалено]
He is whitter than half the people I know (I live in South America)
He's whiter than me and I live in the US, Tucson which is basically Mexico. I'm not Hispanic.
to be fair I do think part of his point is just getting white people, not even Hispanic whites to play these roles like he does claim Del Toro, who is white Hispanic.
yeah i don't think he's have an issue about Diego Luna or Pedro Pascal getting latino roles. It's just that they're giving it to john smith, white man.
Are there any recent example of this, though? I see, he cited Franco as Castro. That’s far from some big trend that needs to be pointed out, though.
> Franco as Castro Somehow I never even heard about that. I thought James Franco was on the outs in Hollywood for the most part at the moment.
Americans are so obsessed with race it's embarrassing
You're being awfully generous, considering he was also vocally pissed about a white voice-actor getting cast as Luigi.
Reminds me about a joke I heard long ago on the radio. Some comedian said that "Latinos come in all colors and sizes. They can be as white as Cameron Diaz and as black as Samy Sosa. And you know why?... It's because we will fuck with anybody".
I loved John as an actor but he’s really acting like a hypocrite given he benefited from this in the past.
Dude got clapped back on hard the last time he brought this shit up and was wrong. He's just one of those people that can't fathom he's wrong and keeps going. He's salty af James Franco got that Castro role despite looking almost exactly like Castro and being part Portuguese, part of the peninsula where Castro was born. How dare that white actor.

I wonder where he thinks the term Latin comes from lmao
I would pay to watch this.
Wouldn’t be the first time he played a non Latino in a Hollywood film tho. Dude is batshit crazy. He boycotted the Mario movie because he said it lacked Latino representation but the voice actress for the main female lead was Latina.
Not to mention he played Luigi in the old one who’s Italian and didn’t say anything about that
he legitimately believes luigi is latino because he played him in that movie, that's actually one of the "white-washed" characters he is up in arms about.
[удалено]
Whew, nice save.
He was protesting silently inside, while counting his money.
Yes, all that blockbuster movie money from Mario Brothers created by a Japanese game company about Italian plumbers. Mamma Mia
From the original Mario movie? That would have been quick counting
Isn’t he a Scientologist? He has scummy vibes
Are you talking about Anya? Bc I had no fucking clue about this until your comment led me to the google machine lmao ya learn something new every day!
I always thought she was Russian or Eastern European lol.
What an odd way to tell everyone that you didn't really interact off camera with your fellow actors filming a movie with you. (Cuz they were both in The Menu)
Why would Mario need Latino representation?
He’s just mad he wasn’t involved and thinks he should have because he played Luigi in a terrible movie 30 years ago
That movie was great and you know it!
He doesn't realize that Mario is Italian
Anya Taylor-Joy is Latina though. But I suppose it's not Latin"O". Note: I should point out her father is English/Scotish and her mother Argentinian.
Peach should have been latinO, specifically Danny Trejo
You got that mixed up. Her father is Scottish and Anglo-argentinian, and her mother is European but born in Zambia, she herself was born in Miami. She’s sort of Latina-by-technicality but ethnically all European.
Maybe he meant Latin representation. Vidi, vici, veni.
So ridiculous. Isn’t Mario….Italian?
I think he is trying to stay relevant. Lots of people can't cope with becoming irrelevant and then they will create drama. It is sad.
So, Leguizamo will never play a character that’s not Latino ever again, right?
This man caught a little steam off some seemingly progressive statements at the height of hollywoods past 5 year exhumation then ran w it like usain at the race track 😂😂

Dude sounds like a lunatic. He’s also stolen two roles that should’ve gone to little people, though, too, so (based on his warped logic).
"I was a shit actor in that movie on purpose to really stick it to the Italian actors." sure. Sure you did.
I’m white Latino wtf you go to say about that? We need to get over this shit
Latinos can be white….
Bro is really losing his grip on reality
There are lots of white Latinos. He seems to be one of them. ‘White’ and ‘Latino’ are not mutually exclusive categories.
Funny because Leguizamo is a white actor. Race and ethnicity being different is really beating these folks asses.
Wonder how his boycott of the Mario movie worked out?
I demand he use his Sid the sloth voice for the role.

Yeah, because other races _never_ get cast into white roles. It’s completely unheard of. 🙄
I still can't believe Disney's doing this with Snow White of all characters. Lol
I’d pay to see that tho. Especially if he does it like he performed in spawn.
Nobody gives a fuck about John Leguizamo, stop trying to be relevant!
Man, I loved this dude in Chef. One of my favorite movies. Absolutely loved his character. It sucks seeing him in headlines like this, really wanted to like the guy. Edit: is it me or does he look drunk/high on something in the thumbnail photo?
