Rami Malek was on Late Night yesterday and he told Seth Meyers a story about the first time that he saw a billboard with his face on it in Los Angeles. Mr Robot got so excited that he crashed his car into another one. Then he explained what happened next, “I got out of the car and I couldn’t stop staring at it (the billboard). And then the driver looked as well, put two and two together and then the back pain really set in.” So much so that she took his “first couple of paychecks.”
So to all the actors, who are going to see their faces on huge billboards for the first time, take this as lesson to pull over as soon as you see it. Unless you want to give your first few paychecks to you manager, agent, publicist and the person you accidentally hit who now suddenly knows who you are.
