Break a leg
Sizemore took this picture when we were in Cannes running the Seesmic interviews with the Indiana Jones film-makers. I wasn’t aware that it was being taken at the time, and I only discovered recently that it existed at all.
I can’t remember exactly what I was thinking at the time, but I remember that Spielberg was the first of the interviews, with George Lucas, Shia LaBoeuf, Karen Allen, Harrison Ford and Cate Blanchett completing the running order.
The build-up to the event had been a crescendo of uncertainty, and it was only when Spielberg walked into the room and the camera began to roll that I really believed we were going to pull it off.
With that in mind, though I may look subdued, I’m sure on the inside I was pinching myself, and looking forward to the stiff drink and cigarette within about sixty minutes’ reach.
I figured I’d post it anyway, now that my NextGen wordpress plugin is working properly. And, as an added bonus, here’s a picture of me in a karaoke bar in Seoul, South Korea, shortly before I broke my left leg in two places:
And here, shortly afterwards, in Korean A+E, enjoying a heady cocktail of vodka and morphine:
