This is why I haaaate "today I learned" posts sourced from a cheesy interview. Some exaggerated or even sarcastic statement gets spun into absolute truth and it's pervasive
A ton of times these high profile people will be giving a press conference or an impromptu interview to whoever and they take a ton of rapid fire questions. So many times someone will slip in a question like 'do you think the end scene was symbolic of the protagonists suppressed desire to felate their grandma wearing a strapon?' and they're like 'uh yeah sure I mean if you want to interpret it that way I guess' then move on. Then the next day you see stories like 'such and such actor said he wants to fuck his grandma' and then it spirals from there. I just ignore pretty much everything I read these days tbh.
Robert Pattinson famously just makes random shit up in interviews.
This alone makes me want to look up his interviews. I only ever saw his batman and don't care about him at all otherwise.
You should check out Good Times. I didn’t take him seriously as an actor until I saw that movie, and when I did, I immediately thought he was Oscar quality.
Here is one (more a feature around an interview) which is absolutely hilarious.
Pretty good, but tbh, I couldn't get over the fact that they put a fugly jacket that costs more than 3 times what I make in a month on a guy who couldn't give less of a shit and then voluntarily told their readers that 😂
Pearl Jam said they got their name from psychedelic jelly one of their grandmothers used to make. That seemed to stick for years. Later they clarified that it was just a joke but the grandmother's name was in fact Pearl.
I always assumed it was a sexual reference
My theory is that it only needs be true once on a TIL and then the rest of the internet will believe it to be true.
