Exploring His Ideal WWE Match-Ups: What Are They?

“If I could script my dream WWE match, I would have Shawn Michaels face off against Ricky “the Dragon” Steamboat in an exhilarating ladder match. Just imagine! I’d also love to see the peak version of Andre the Giant battle it out with Brock Lesnar in a classic hoss matchup. And how about an improv expert like CM Punk locked in a steel cage against a dedicated performer like Randy Savage? The tension between them would be palpable, as they would clearly not see eye to eye. That would be a match for the ages!”

What Did Joe Pesci Do to Make Him Think He Was Mean on Set?

“That’s the word I heard. But it makes sense why he would want to intimidate me. He aimed to be a bit scary on set. I remember sitting there, and he casually asked, ‘How you doing, kid?’ I replied, ‘Honestly, I’m pretty tired. I haven’t been home in four or five months.’ He responded, ‘I haven’t been home in three years.’ At that moment, I realized it was like some sort of bizarre competition for who had it harder. But hey, I guess you can claim victory over a 10-year-old, right, Joe Pesci?”

Why Does He Show His Kids Suite Life to Avoid Raising Nepo Babies?

“My children have no clue that both Brenda and I are famous. They occasionally see their mom on TV, so when she’s away, I put on Suite Life. I remember one day, Dak said to me, ‘Someday I want to grow up and marry a girl just as pretty as London Tipton.’ I chuckled, thinking that’s adorable. However, they remain completely unfazed by our television careers. I genuinely don’t want them to be burdened by the weight of fame and expectations. My goal is to raise them without the influence of being nepo babies, no matter how much they might seem like them in the future, you know?”

What Are His Thoughts on Missing the Rushmore Script That Went to Jason Schwartzman?

“You have to understand that during that time, I was effectively retired for a long stretch—about six or seven years. I went back to high school and got married way too young, and in that phase, my reading habits were quite good. I was going through scripts with enthusiasm, but a few did slip through the cracks. Years later, while clearing out the house, I stumbled upon the script for Rushmore that I had overlooked. I thought, ‘Oh man, I could have done that role!’ Although I can’t picture anyone other than Schwartzman playing that part, it still made me think about how much fun it would have been to be in that film.”

Why Does He Believe Home Alone 2 Outshines the Original?

“Honestly, I got paid more for Home Alone 2. I think I own about five percent of the net profits and also 15 percent of the merchandising. So, if you decide to purchase a Talkboy, just know that I’ll be benefiting from that—15 percent of the sale is coming my way! So, as a side note, be sure to buy a Talkboy this Christmas; I’d appreciate it!”
