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.
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 😂
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.
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.

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.
Here is one (more a feature around an interview) which is absolutely hilarious.

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.
