We know the late Christopher Reeve as Superman. But that almost wasn’t the case.
James Brolin told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live yesterday that he was offered the role but turned it down.
The actor had several successful film roles in the early ’70s, like Skyjacked and West World, and said he “couldn’t see being in a red sock hanging up on wires, and them saying ‘That’s lunch.’ And I’m like, ‘Get me down. There were just a lot of things about it that I thought would change the direction of my career.”
While he does not regret turning down that role, he said that he regrets accepting the TV show Hotel from Aaron Sorkin and not holding out for the right film role after a two-year drought.
As someone who grew up watching The Amityville Horror and Marcus Welby, M.D., I think he made a mistake. Because his legacy is now being Mr. Barbra Steisdand and it could’ve been as something else.
Andy Cohen has made it. The Watch What Happens Live host has been turned into a life-size cardboard copy of himself.
He was so excited about it that he had to show it to his daughter. How did the 2-year-old react to seeing her dad flat? “Lucy doesn’t know WHAT to make of Cardboard Dada!” The proud pop continued, “(and neither do I, frankly..)”
If she is confused about looking like this, wait until she sees her dad as a wax figure at Madame Tussauds.
For 50 years, we have known Pam Grier as Foxy Brown. And the 74-year-old is still as foxy as hell.
Yesterday, when the actress was on Watch What Happens Live, Andy Cohen had some Foxy questions for her.
Since many men can say she was their first celebrity crush, the host wanted to know who hers was. She told him it was the legendary Groucho Marx. That is such an amazing answer!
Grier never got to feel Groucho’s mustache touch her lip. So, whose lips were her favorite to lock with on camera? It is Phillip Michael Thomas on Miami Vice. Take that Don Johnson, who was the Don Juan of his time.
Josh Lucas was on Watch What Happens Live yesterday, and Andy Cohen wanted to know if he would be interested in doing a sequel to Sweet Home Alabama.
Lucas says he is at the point where he is about to beg Reese Witherspoon to do it. Because it is her call, so when she finally dials his phone, he will be there.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t think the 2002 film needs a sequel. It ended perfectly and should be left alone. What do you think?
Have you ever wondered what it takes to become a wax figure at Madame Tussauds? Well, Andy Cohen showed us several of the steps.
It involves taking a lot of photos, matching his eye color with fake eyes, putting his hands in a mold, measuring his feet, matching his skin and hair color, and measuring his body.
It is a lot of work. But you get a permanent likeness of yourself that people will pay to see.
You just have to hope the museum doesn’t put a wick in you because then you are done.
Cohen’s lifesize candle will debut later this year in New York.
