Published Jan 27, 2025, 5:00 AM

Britney Spears' ex, Sam Asghari has no regrets.

Despite his high-profile marriage, a public divorce, and what he calls 'the weirdest spiral' he's ever seen, Sam still feels like he's living the American Dream.

He shares his real thoughts on Britney's former conservatorship, and what he considers the biggest career risk of all!

Hi.

I am Kate Hudson and my name is Oliver Hudson. We wanted to do something that highlighted our relationship and what it's like to be siblings.

We are a sibling railvalry.

No, no, sibling.

You don't do that with your mouth.

Vely, that's good.

Al Rodson here, Holy shit, lots to talk about.

It's been a minute since I've actually recorded a fresh podcast. As everyone knows, we've been dealing with a lot of shit here in Los Angeles.

I'm not going to get into all that right now. I will in a bit of a rant that you will hear in this new season of.

Sibling Revelry, adding a few little bells and whistles to the game, but just touching on it. Fucking devastation. That's where I grew up. It's gone and it's crazy. Everyone's okay though. That's the good part. But we'll get into all of.

It in a bit.

Right now, we have Sam Ascari waiting in the waiting room. He did show Traders, which I'm eager to see. Alan Cummings is the hosting looks very creepy.

And uh interested in his life where he came from. He is a good story. Let's bring him on. Hey, what's up man?

How you going?

Man?

This is the first show that I've recorded since the fires.

So where are you at? You're You're in La So.

Right across the street is pretty much Palastate on sunset. Yeah, And I don't know how I didn't evacuate, and I don't know what happened. And we just didn't even lose power. It was just the street that was not effected about anything. Everybody else evacuated. I still see some Coast Guard military cars across the street. So that's crazy.

I mean, I mean, that's kind of how it works. Obviously.

This has just been insanely devastatings where I grew up. So my family's all right, houses were all right, except for my brother. My brother's Boston's house went. But the amount of people that I know whose houses have burned, it's like just unfathomable.

It's unbelievable.

But then there's this, there's a few you know that are still miraculously standing.

Yeah, very crazy.

I think they let some of the Palastate people back in, yeah, to the neighbor to check out their home, but they're not allowed to stay there. But I think if you're in LA, you at least know one person that was effected by the fire.

Oh yeah, Oh my gosh, it's been nutty.

The videos from all the animals are are insane. I mean, I feel really bad for people, but I think humans we can help ourselves and eventually, you know where. But animals are just I saw the video of the horse going back and getting other horses, you know, so that was just it was just a weird time it was at.

I know it was crazy. But you didn't evacuate.

Oh I didn't. Yeah, I didn't. I don't know how because everyone around bel Air Side is evacuated. How the state side was evacuated. The whole four or five was closed for a few days, and I don't know. I think I heard there's there might be more wins coming down this place today tomorrow.

Yeah, I know, it's nutty. Well give me a story, aboudy, I mean interesting one.

Right, you came on. How old were you when you came here? You know?

Yeah?

Give me the rundown. I think it was the perfect age.

I was twelve and you know now, I just look back and see I lived half of my life in the country that was completely the opposite of America.

And.

I lived the other half here. So I was twelve years old and I moved here. I was in seventh grade, and it was just the best thing that ever happened to me in life. When you're from a country like Iran, and I really appreciated the culture. But when I moved here, I really wanted to focus on fitting in in America. I mean I did everything to try to fit in as soon as possible. I tried baseball, which I sucked. That in an American sport. I was like, okay, I can't do this. Then I tried drinking gatorade every single morning. We thought that was like the most American thing you can do, you try to fit in, and that was okay. I almost got diabetes from that. And then I played American football. I did all the things to fit in, because when you're coming from a country like that, you look at America as this land of opportunity.

You know, what about the language, I mean obviously you didn't know the language, or did.

You You know?

I didn't.

I didn't, you know. I went to English classes. But with me classes it's just every time I sit down in the class, my brain just goes out the window, you know. So I didn't really pay attention to my English classes. I mean I knew words like pencils and all that. But when I came here. I remember the first week I was in school, I was out in Camery, or California that way. That's where I went to middle school. And I went to class and I was I was so enthusiastic about America. I was like, Wow, everybody's you know, everybody's going to be nice to me. Everybody's going to welcome me. And my dad always told me, oh, they love like you know, everybody, and and everything's fine. So I went to middle school and I was late to class. I was late to class. It was this history class. So I sat in the back of the classroom where the American flag is. You know, you got the American flag, and you sit down and you pick your own seats. You don't have assigned seats in public schools. So I sit down and everybody stands up. They turn around and they start singing something. You know. They started saying, I pledge allegiance to the flag. And at that time I didn't know what it was. And all I remember was my dad saying they're going to love you. They're gonna you know, they love immigrants and they love new So I was like, Wow, they're welcoming me. They know I'm new.

You thought it was all for you.

I thought it was for me. So I got up and I saluted, and it was just all the kids were like, what the fuck is this guy doing?

Taking vows like thank you guys.

Yeah, So you know, I had this. I had this positive mindset. The language was nothing. I learned it right away. I mean I was in a age where it's usually easier. You know, did you experience.

The twelve bullying or discrimination? You know, you're new, you don't speak the language. Kids are fucking assholes.

For the most part, you know.

You know what. I'm sure there was, but I think the mind I'm not going to go into the victim mindset and all that. I think that has to do with you. So if somebody does make fun of your bully, you you can either. I mean, I came from a country where pretty much, you know, my twelve years was like forty years in another country. The experiences that you go through, you know, it's not the same. You know, kids get to run around the streets with that parent. It's a different culture, yeah, basically, But when I came here, I didn't look at it as I didn't know what bullying is, like that's molding back home, so I don't know what bothing is.

It's a great point, you know, it did not diminish anything from you know, kids who are bullied.

But it's nothing new. I mean obviously online you know, digital bullying and stuff like that. It's almost worse than than it is in person, you.

Know, and in person it's part of being on the schoolyard too, you know what I mean. And I imagine where you grew up. You look in America like this is bullying, like this is uh.

Yeah, it's not that. But you know, it's subjective. For me, it might be different than somebody else. Obviously if I I did stand up for bullies even in America and things like that. But back home, coming to this country was just such a blessing that everything was a privilege. Other parents tried to you know, that's it's different. But here I looked at it as this, Wow, this is such a great opportunity, and like everybody bullied us at some point. They used to call it at the time, this isn't six. So Borat was out with Sasha Barancona and I send them a message and I told him and he sent me back an emoji. I don't know what that means, but I said, dude, like you, you helped me survive. And the reason why you helped me survive is because people used to love that Borat and we used to make those you know, like they're nice.

Like.

All the all the white kids were like the popular kids like coming out with us, and you know, we'll make fun of you. At the time, we thought we were popular. Me and my best friend were both from you on. But but we weren't popular. They just wanted to clown us and make fun of us.

But I remember big skin, right, I mean I didn't.

It's thick skin. Ignorance is a blessing, whatever they say. But I didn't. Luckily I didn't. I was so blessed to be here.

Your siblings, right, I have three sisters, Yes, you do, and where you stand in the in the pecking order.

So I'm the youngest one and the next one after me is eight years and then they're back to back to back. In other words, my dad had you know, my dad wanted a son, and I think he was you know, he's a flirty type. So God give him three girls to teach him a lesson.

So you have three older sisters, yes, yes, wow, wow yea. And so why did you immigrate over to the United States?

Like what was it was there? He wanted a better life for his kids. You know, how did that work?

My dad was here in the US, I think since ninety eight, got it and I was here with him and me and my mom because it's just such a hard process to get a visa anywhere. And it's like almost as you need to win the lottery to come to the US. There's literally a lottery system to come to the US. And my dad and I and my mom were able to come. But then we got three you know, I have three sisters. They have three little girls back home that they can't just you know, bring because of the process. So it took about ten years just for them to get an appointment to the immigration Wow. And so I had to end up going back and I was I was four years old. So I ended up going back and I wanted to be with them. And then after a few years it was just the right time and we got an appointment and we went out to Istanbul, Turkey, and we got our visa. I got my visa first because I was under the age of eighteen and if you're eighteen and over, you have to do an FBI check. So they did an FBI check, but it took another six years just for that FBI check to become clear for them. So I moved here first, and they came after six years.

Wow.

And they just wanted to try to give you guys a better life.

As that was at the idea that that was the idea.

Like from you're on every time look at America. People don't understand a lot of my you know, white friends or American friends, or they don't they look at Iran as the government. The government is completely different than the people of Iran. The people of Iran love America. They love America. This is their destination. This is like their ticket to the you know, the chocolate factor. That's how it is. And for us was just better opportunities like this is if you put your mind into anything in America, whatever you want to become, you can and the American dream is still there for those type of people. So it was literally just opportunity, better life, freedom, women freedom, it's ridiculous to be talking about this, but it's real.

I mean it's it's it's not ridiculous at all. You and I are talking about that for a second. I mean, how does that, How does that even work? I mean, are you even able to you know, it's just that we as human being beings are sexual human beings. We have that are like obviously, that's how we've pro created and created the human rights. Yeah, and these are those all those does that all have to get pretty repressed?

Yes?

I mean you and I are both very familiar with the NS attainment industry. Imagine an entertainment industry where women are not allowed to sing in public. So that's what's happening there. And you take it back thirty years ago. Women were so inspiring in that country and they were allowed to sing and they took that away. So it's just sad. So us we have three girls in our families and we have to get up and go. I mean, my sisters now, thank to I mean they were always achieving, you know, academic success. They were super small. Unlike me, the black sheep in the family. I am in the bad way black sheep in the bad way. I didn't go I didn't do good in school and or well I ever, I can't even imagine read ten fifteen pages without sleeping. But they have one of them is it just became a doctor, the other one as a forensic scientist. And my youngest sister has her medical spossor these things are only achievable in the US. You know, not that women can't do anything now over there, but you know they have whatever they want to achieve here, it's possible at least the opportunities there up to you.

And then what about religion? Were you guys very religious family?

And you know, looking back, even in Iran, I didn't really meet people that were religious because they used the governm has used some sort of a you know, idealism and religion to suppress and they used Islam Aslam as a beautiful, you know religion, but they've watered down, they changed it so much that people don't even want to listen to it. You know, if you say ridiculous things and you said a prophet said it or God said it, then makes you not have faith and faith so people don't really not religious. For me, nothing has ever proven itself to me, then good things and good karma or whatever universe or whatever the case is. When you do something unintentionally that you don't tell anyone or you don't post about it, you know, you always you always get paid back instantly. So that's I don't know what you want to call it, but to me, if I do good in life and I don't, you know, I don't hurt anybody, I don't do anything bad.

I don't.

I go through life not in a perfect way, of course, as humans were not perfect. But if we do good and we never hurt anybody, and when we get to the heaven gates, whether if it's Jesus or Muhammad or whoever it is, they're going to let you in. They're not going to be like, oh, you were a bad person because you didn't pray at a forty five three angle. Respect to our religions, and I love our religions. I think we learn so much from it.

But if we don't do anything bad where you know, I'm not a religious person at all, But but you weren't pressured in any way by your family and no.

Not my family, but by by people. When you live there, you go to school, to religious school, or you have to you know, you have to, you have to kind of go. You know, it's forced religion there. I have some friends that are here that are BAHAs or Jewish and they weren't able to, you know, go to the same schools.

It's yeah. And then so you're here, you your living dream of being in America. And then how did this? How did it happen?

You wanted to be a model, you wanted to be an actor. I mean, when did the entertainment come into your world to go from there? And sort of you know, how did that all sort of went down? I mean, obviously a handsome dudeo where you're like, shit, like I'm seventeen, I look fucking good, like I'm going to.

Be at seventeen years old. At seventeen years old, I didn't look good. I didn't look bad, but I didn't look good. I was three ten. I was playing football. I was in a football shit American football shit, and I was playing football at the time. And right when I went to college, that's when things weren't I know, like at no, I'm playing two years of college football at a junior college out in California, and I knew my time was over and I knew that I had to. You know, I was working multiple jobs and I wanted to be entertainment. And that takes me back to high school where I was back theater, arts and drama, and same with college. So that was just always see me oh no, no, no, god No.

I was in the west like West Like high school, west like okay.

Yes, yes, uh no, seeming no no no no uh no. But I was in westle like high school. And I went to more part college because I was the closest college to me. And after that it was just time for me to part ways and start working and start I was always supporting myself throughout high school, but I had to really focus on that because now adulthood is right around the corner. And that's when I started getting into possibly looking into getting an acting agent and really start acting professionally. So I got an acting agent and I started, you know, auditioning only for commercials and that went really well. Then did a I think I went in for a commercial and somebody offered something to me which was a music video and it was that group Fit Harmony group. You remember they had a group and it was like a construction video and it was like, you know, people were came out and they went very viral. People love this song and even to now I get all these videos from me doing the Jackhammer the American dream Man.

It's true. I didn't see your probably shirts.

I like, yeah, yeah like that. It's just it was just this like you know, so to a porn and yeah, and people loved it. People loved the Cosmopolitan that a you know, article of it, and that was my first mainstream thing was which was like a you know, and you get all these followers on Instagram. Then at that time, I was like, okay, it's time to be a serious actor. Let's no longer do music videos because you know, music, nobody really watches music videos and nobody commercials fun. But the respect is not elite acting. It's a lot of money. People pay make a lot more money on commercial than they do on TV and film sometimes, but it was not respected, and I wanted to go to the next level. So I said, I'm no longer going to do any more music videos and none of that stuff, no more modeling, no more commercials. Then one day I get a call from an agent saying are you available? They want you for a music video. It's an a less music video, but we don't know who, we don't know how, And I was like, okay, I probably not, you know, most likely not. Then a friend of mine was doing makeup and hair and said, oh, you know, my friend Colin, Colin Telly was the director, is really amazing director from music videos and feature films now, and he said, my friend's doing it and they want to cast you. You should come because I'm working in it, and you know, we make some good friends and you should just do it. So I said, okay, and I call my agent and said is that still available? They're like yes, they reached out again. And I go, okay, cool, and I go into the music video and it's just another job. And then there's seven years worth of relationship that comes from the music video and a marriage and a lot of experiences and a lot of a lot of experiences, which I like to call it a crash course in Hollywood, which was which was great. Yeah, you tell you learn, you learn from everything.

I mean, obviously, how old are you now?

I'm thirty.

Now you're thirty. So you're getting married young, you know, yeah, you're getting married young. You're taking a chance, you're in love and should Sometimes shit doesn't work out.

You know Caid?

Yes, okay, so I know Brittany a little bit, and I know Caid very well. Cad was it my He's crazy and I love him. But he was at my New Year's e party this year in Colorado?

Yeah.

But what was that whirlwind? Like?

I mean, you know again a twelve year old kid from it On coming to the States all of a sudden, bang, It's like you're thrust into this sort of spotlight and is it like, is this what the fuck I want?

Or was it was?

It?

Was there something alluring to it as well? Because we all like to be recognized, you know what I mean, I don't. I don't mind it when people come up to me and like the things that I've done or have some recognition, and it feels good.

But what was that like for you? I mean, because it's that's big time shit. It's like, holy fuck. Bang.

So here's the thing. I never looked at it as a big time thing. The reason why the spotlight and you know, you have a public relationship and people start even paying attention. Even if you're Travis Kelcey, you're in the NFL, you're the best guident in the league. They still associate you with pop culture. Culture is the biggest thing in the world, and better yet to be associated with, you know, an icon, someone that's labeled as princess of pop. So for that I wasn't too you know, it didn't really mess up my mind. The reason why I say that is because I think coming to America was the best thing and the biggest thing that ever happened. And when you live in a different country, you kind of sort of have an experience, a wider you know, experience, and you're more grounded, and you're more you know, you more understand what happens to you. So I think me just be you know, being from a different country and learning all those experiences and coming to this country was such a big change that it made everything else become easier. And I figure, I think if you do everything, if you follow everything with honor and respect, and you think twice before you do anything, nothing could ever go wrong and nothing could ever be a bad thing. It doesn't work out. If things end and things happen that you know you were not wanting to happen, you just have to sort of take a moment and appreciate it. That it ever even happened. Then then sit there and do well and be.

Said, it's such a big part of your life. Think about that, you know. I it's someone though.

Actually on this show, I was talking to a guest and you know, they asked about regrets that I've talked about very personal things on this show, and you know, some bad things that I'd done in my life, and I was like, I don't have fucking regrets, you know, because I don't know I would be without the without the culmination of my experiences. So if I was to take away and cherry pick these things that I don't like about me, or a few things that I kind of was fucked up with or I wasn't in my right mind, or I wasn't doing the right thing, if I just take those away, then I'm not sure you're I'm taking pieces of myself away and take character building moments.

Hopefully, you know. So I don't have regrets.

But then of course, you know, Press picks it up and it's like Oliver Hudson has no regrets for anything.

He's ever done. It's like, okay, you know, so you know, you don't kill anyone.

It happens, it's life, you know, and you take so much from those experiences, you know what I'm saying, And I'm sure you have.

Yeah, absolutely. I mean I've always looked at life as a blessing. I didn't look at it as this big thing for my care because my career is always completely different than my personal life, even though it might be like, you know, it might be a ridiculous thing to say, because things happened the way it happened because of my career. I was on an acting job. I was already acting, and I was already going into it, you know, and I met a coworker that happened to be you know, uh, the princess of pop and I and you know, we got we sort of clicked and we sort.

Of jaw is that What was the meeting?

Like?

Did she would I mean she approached you or you? Did you have the balls to approach her?

You know what I mean? At that time, I was young, so I wasn't you know, I wasn't accepted of ever getting to know someone that was in pop culture. I thought it was not manly. So you know, when you're young, you think like, oh, just rap music and.

Things like that.

So I didn't really I never even listened to pop music up until then, pop culture, her music and things like that, so I did. I wasn't really of course, I know who she was and things like that. But when I go into a job, I go in as a professional, even if it's a music video. And even now, if I go into a job like I did, if I do a TV series that I liked it, I only have a few moments, and I'm going to go in as if I'm you know, I'm going to be on time, I'm going to be excited. I'm going to try to sleep, I'm gonna you know, I'm gonna be nervous, I'm going to be It's like a dream to me. So I'm always gonna no matter what the job is, I will always go into it the same way. And that's what happened.

And I was there.

I was very relaxed. It was a music video. It's a two day music video.

It was fun.

It was at a house and I think on cold Water in Beverly Hills, and everything was was going right, and everything was going great. And we talked and we figured we would we would. We were both single, and we figured grab some sushi and then we grab some sushi on Los Angele at this restaurant called Koi, and everything was going really well until one day I started learning about what the conservatorship is and things like that, and that's when I was like, wait a minute, Like I thought, I'm in America, What do you mean? What do you mean somebody doesn't have, you know, their basic economy of their own life right when you mean someone over the age of eighteen needs permission from their parents and all this ridiculous thing. But you know, I'm very new to this and everybody is even It's just it's such a ridiculous thing in this country to have to deal with. And that was by far the most I'm not going to say difficult, because I don't think anything's difficult. That was the weirdest thing to deal with, not which is really strange to say in Hollywood and entertainment because people will tell you it's usually media, fans, the money and everything else that's going to be hard that to deal with. But one of the most important, one of the hardest things I think to deal with when you do, you know, when you go into entertainment is your parents and the people around you and everything that that happens, and everybody that comes into your life that taken advantage that damage you, because those are the people that are closest to you. It's never the fans, It's never the media. It's never you know, I always celebrities when they're mad at TMZ and you know they're mad at all these people. There are the reasons why you're you know, popular and famous. Is the media and the fans and all that. They will never hurt you. Usually the people that are around you, the people that you allow into your circle, you kind of are vulnerable to them, and they take an advantage because they think you, you know, you owe something to them or something, which is so ridiculous. That was the most difficult and weird spiral thing that I've witnessed in my life. Ever.

Had you handle that?

I mean, you know, with someone that you love watching this happen, you know, and wanting to protect and wanting to sort of fight for.

Well, first, you have to be in a position to say anything in a verse to do anything, because if.

You're not, you know, if you're sort of just a boyfriend or you're sort of just there and the time you're not right, you know, people can sort of force you out or get you out of the situation.

If they don't like you, you're around. So you have to be really careful how you deal with this type of thing. So you know, I think the best thing you can do is to provide support in that moment. And that's what I did. I provided as much as I could support and be there and and you know, provide information that might be helpful, provide resources that might be helpful, and really try to understand why this even happened, why the conservatorship even happened to begin with, And and I was just this was my experience in life that I had to go through very gently, because if you do anything wrong, you say the wrong thing, you know. And luckily my experience from another country that I had to deal with, these type of things come into place, and it's just it was a very difficult time. I think, you know, eleven years.

We said seven years.

It was we were in a relationship for almost seven years, but you know, it was it was so much that we've gone through as a couple, and we learned so much, and and it was it was a beautiful experience.

With the separation. Okay, you know, it's not.

Divorce, separation. Breakups suck. Yeah, anybody you know, of course it's gonna suck. But I always had the mindset of I would never be sad that it's over. I'm always going to be grateful and happy that ever even happened.

All right, So traders man, let's talk about it.

I just did a movie. I did Happy Gilmore too, and Nicki Bella.

Yeah, I've known her for a little bit and she's fucking awesome. Those girls, Brian Niki are just so rad. I love them so much. I got to talk to her a little bit about.

It, but.

I know it's airing. We can't talk about too much. But give me some of the experience of what this thing was. She told me a little bit about it, how crazy it was and how real it is, you know what I mean. Like the shot is it's I know, when we watch TV and we watch reality TV or unscripted television, you know, it's like, oh, well, they're going to set this up and it's going to be scripted, and of course there has to be some structure to it.

But apparently it was like now, it's pretty gnarly.

Yeah, it's I mean, the only thing I know from a set and a project is scripted stuff and things that are not reality whatsoever unless you decide to, you know, improv. Improv is the closest thing I see from unscripted. So I have no idea what's going to happen. I don't even know. I don't know what a housewife is, but I know what a housewife is. Yeah, I don't know what a housewife is. And you know, I don't even know what summer house is or I don't know any survivor. I have no idea what it is. So I go into this thing fresh off the boat. I don't know anything, and it was such a cool experience and it was just so cool to get to know people I want. I went in there not wanting to you know, I didn't obviously go in there wanting to win everything. I just wanted to go and check it out, and not really I just you know, people told me, don't don't you talk with the housewives because they will eat you alive, and you're going to be that You're going to be the you know they're going to because of media and all this. When you separate, somebody has to be the bad guy in the media. And I don't know who the bad guy is supposed to be, but if they only knowed you for your relationships, so they're going to judge you. So, you know, the first three episodes, which is already out, I'm in it and I'm helping out in the missions and doing the physical stuff and not really trying to get involved because I know that people are going to judge me. Or I was just so scared people are going to judge me. And then I'm there and then I see this guy that's like sweating and like doing all these weird things, and automatically he was the bad guy. So I was like, Okay, this is cool.

You were able to pull back enough to where you weren't labeled the bad guy.

Yeah.

And you know, the first episodes, I take a lot of showers. You know, I take it. They have it on camera. There's it's like an old spice commercial. Yeah, yeah, hour so I did. It's no good at least say much. I don't get involved much, but the leading episodes I do get involved. It gets more enterpinning and I'm excited to see how it's edited.

Yeah.

That's the other thing, dude, you are you are at the mercy, Uh, system. You can be one thing in real life and they can edit you to where you're like wait a minute, yeah, wait, wait whoa wait a second here, But that's just.

Kind of what you're dining off on, you know, you know what, I.

Think this might have been the craziest thing I've done in my in my career because of exactly it's a risk. It's a risk that you have to take a lot of people coming into this ready to go like guns, like Bob the Drag Queen. I don't, by the way I walk in there, I know nobody. I just know Nikki. The reason why I know Nikki is because the first fitness shoot I did, I have a little feature in her cover it's her and her sister, and I was like, this is what. So I only knew Nikki, but everybody else I had no idea who I thought. The Tom guy was the bad guy from Toy Story, you know, the antagonism toys. I mean, you know, that was the only thing. And but you know, I love getting to know people. I think even if they're from reality and they have some sort of a personality, it's still there's still a human being. And I love to get to know people. I love for them to get to me because then they'll be really surprised of you know times.

Well, yeah, because here's the thing, like we you know, this whole business and even aside from this business is just all based on perception, you know, and you know, no one knows your story really, I mean I do know people you have told and whatever outlets you've sort of told your story too about growing up and on being twelve years old coming to the States, how it all went down, the six years of waiting processes for you tire family to get here.

You know, what you went through as a kid and.

All that everyone almost the only thing anyone knows is the perception of you and Brittany and how that all went down. And then there is an opinion that is formed that is probably incorrect, where it's like, who's this hot dude who is now using this pop star to sort of advance and further his career, which is bullshit. But you can't control what people are thinking and saying, and that that just snowballs and snowballs.

So now that's who you are, and now it's your job.

And you would never take away that experience, but it's your job to sort of say, hey, you know what, this isn't who the this isn't who I am, and now I can use my platform because you have developed somewhat of a platform, which.

Is great to jump off and be you. You know, hey, this is me, you know.

And so I would imagine that that sticks in the back of your head as well, you know, because no one likes to be, you know, misrepresented, especially with people who don't really fucking know you. At the same time, the healthiest attitude is to say, hey, you know what, fuck off, I don't care what you think because I know who I am, which is in my opinion, much easier said than done for.

Me, because you care what people think. You know.

Of course I could get to that place where I truly didn't care what people thought, then I would be a better performer, I would be a better actor, or I would just be just better, just generally, because sometimes when we care so much, or when we care, it can make you small and freeze you up because you don't want to do anything bad.

So how much are you fighting that or do you care? You know?

And especially in traders, are you like, well, I want to I'm I'm not, I'm not just fucking Britney's ex dude, Like, I am a real person and I'm a good man, and I want the world to know.

That, you know what. I think the best way to deal with Hollywood or perceptions and things like that is always not to deal with it at all. I do think it's easier to be yourself. It's easier said than done. You said it, but it's the best thing you can do. Sometimes the best thing you can do is to be yourself. As long as you're a good person. You can't be yourself if you're hurting others. You've got to change because then you're you're you're hurting other people, which is not okay. But if you're if you're being yourself and coming into this country, man, I truly really thought I was here with the mindset that this is this is a gift to me, you know, and now I owe everything that I have to this country. So for me, the biggest dream is to be a Tyler Perry, to be an Athlet, to be someone like Adam Sandler. These guys are providing jobs and they're they're giving back to the industry, to the community, They're inspiring people. That's the biggest job for them. That's the biggest dream for me. It's not just to come here and take and taking advantage of someone that's been taking advantage by every single person in the world.

Mm hmm.

What I'm going to do is I'm going to do the opposite of that.

Then we got a roll. But what what do you think that? What do you think is the biggest miscon set with you? I think and you are to clear that up and be able to.

Have a microphone megaphone in the world saying this is the biggest fucking misconception of me.

You know, the biggest misc conception is that it's just the opposite. The perception is the opposite of exactly who I am. And you know, it has to do with looks, it has to do with appearance, it has to do with media, it has to do with everything. But once you get to know me, it's it's completely different. So I'm going to continue, you know, being myself and continue living my life.

The way I do.

Mm hm, Well, good dude. Well, I'm going to watch Traders. It looks very compelling, you know, it's interesting Alan Cummings. I watched the trailer and he looks like creepy I'm like, oh.

The sweetest, she's the sweetest and her you know, talking about perceptions. Yeah, that's why I have this dog, because Doberman's they they you think they're like tough dogs and they're but they're the sweetest dogs.

In the world.

I mean, she sleeps on my head. Yeah, it's starting to be annoying. But the reason why I have her ears down is because first is cruel to cut their ears, and too she loses her like cuteness.
