They support them if they can support you. If that sounds interesting to you, that is worth checking out. I have some stories in front of me. These are from Page Six. We're gonna get right to it. I mean, this story just surprised me at first. I. There's a guy that dated Jennifer Aniston. At first I thought Justin Trudeau. This is Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry's dating timeline revealed and how they've made it work. So Justin Trudeau is the prime minister of Canada. Justin Thoreau was Jennifer Aniston. And when I. So I first read this, let's say Justin Thoreau. Yeah, Justin Thoreau is not Justin Trudeau. This is a really good way for me to start this. Justin Theroux. This guy. And then you find out, I'm like, oh, I've seen him in a movie or two. But like, when I first read this, I was like, this guy. Justin Thoreau is like the, you know, the Coxman of Hollywood. Like, this guy doesn't stop. But I. Justin Trudeau. And then I was like, oh, Justin Trudeau. I was like, that's the prime minister. You know, it is. It says something about the American education System where I'm like, what's the difference between a prime minister and a president? Like, I know I should know, but I always assumed they were the same thing. It was like, I mean, this is. I'll tell this story I was in. And I might have already told it. I was in Australia for the shows earlier this year, and there was a huge cyclone coming to hit Brisbane, and I had to cancel my show. If you're listening in Brisbane, I'm sorry. And I remember I got in the Uber before the cyclone was hitting, and I go, hey, man. He's like, where are you going next? I'm like, brisbane. He goes, you ain't going to Brisbane. And I go, why not? He goes, there's a cyclone coming. And I go, sir, I. I'm not sure. How would you explain a cyclone? He goes, it's like a typhoon. And I'm like, you can't use a word I don't know to explain a word I also don't know. And then you find out that a typhoon, a cyclone and a hurricane are all the same thing in different places. That's how I know it to be. I mean, that's what I found out. So I was like, is prime minister and president, I kind of assumed was the same Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry. Also, this is a movie. Like the idea if we had living, breathing movie writers and producers that make movies that aren't just this should be made into a movie. I mean, if Katy Perry. She's probably not really thinking of that, but I do think they both think of that when they're attracted to each other. Like, I think, you know, you know, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey. If you look at Travis Kelsey's exes, none of them ring Taylor Swift to you. But you could understand that part of the attraction of Taylor Swift is this mega superstar who's become that in Taylor Swift. Like, it's beyond looks. It's a vibe. So I do understand Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry. I would say the same thing goes for them. He's the prime minister. Of course I want to meet him. And I'm thinking, like, what? Why? I'm. You know, you're almost riding the current of the storyline sometimes, but. And. And same for him. Katy Perry wants to meet me, but that's a movie. But I guess the movie wouldn't be them both going, they want to meet me. I. Maybe it is. Maybe that is the movie. I had no idea they were dating. How old is he? I mean, the ages probably match up. As far as what Ages would be Justin Trudeau. I think it's more believable that Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry are dating than it is for Justin Trudeau to be this good looking dude who's not married, no kids, becoming the leader of a country. People generally don't trust single bro to lead their country. Like, no, he's made no, he's made no commit. He's made no compromises in his life. Like, that's who you trust to be. Like, I guess. Like, I don't know. Like, I just think, like, I know it. For influencers, men in relationships do way better if they're on the Internet than men, single men. There's just this general distrust of, like, what's up, dude? Like, you could be in a relationship. Why not? What's wrong with you? Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry have been dating for the last four months after they were photoshopped or Photoshopped after they were photographed kissing on a yacht. A source told the Sun. The former political figure. Oh, he's not even prime minister anymore. And Perry had been secretly dating since the beginning of summer. They haven't been able to spend a lot of time together as she's on tour, but they're constantly in contact, always facetiming and messaging each other, the insider noted, referencing Perry's Lifetimes tour, which kicks off again Monday for its European leg. To me, that's the romcom that's. And they're doing it. I mean, it shows them on this yacht just hugging on the roof. He's in jeans, no shirt, and she's in a bathing suit. That is the weirdest boat outfit I have ever seen. Makes no sense. Why does it look like he just got back from going to the bars and he's a little drunk and she was at home in a bathing suit, swimming. To me, if I got on the boat, I'm immediately getting into trunks so that I can splish, splash, making a bath, I can get in the water. This picture makes no sense at all. I've. I saw 2p. The idea that we see them hugging, like, oh, my God, is Katy Perry hooking up with Justin Trudeau? I'd be like, is that what Justin Trudeau wears on a boat? Jeans, no shirt? It's not even comfortable. It's not even. It doesn't make sense. I need to know the story that leads to this jeans, no shirt approach on the boat. There. That's my first question. Not, are you dating? What was going on? Pre hug. Did you just get back? Did you just get home from the bars. Did you just get home from a casual lunch with a business acquaintance? And then you were so ready to see Katie, and she came back from the water, so she's. So. The only way this picture happens. Justin had a lunch. He goes to lunch. He comes back, he goes, katie. And he takes off his shirt. She gets out of the ocean, back into the boat. Justin. But then they're hugging so tightly that she'd be wet. But maybe they're so in love that he doesn't even care that his jeans are gonna get ruined. They're gonna go in the wash anyways. So they embrace in a hug. That's the only way this picture makes sense. I think, to me, we have all these conspiracy theorists. This is not something they're talking about. The two were caught getting cozy on a yacht and snaps taken in late September. No, no, no. That's not cozy. That is. Hey, give me a second. I need to go change into my bathing suit. That's not cozy. As to how their unlikely parent came to be, the source added that the prime. The former Prime Minister of Canada is a bit of a geek. And, well, that's not how you meet the biggest pop star in the world. That's not how that starts. Always a bit of a geek. No, that's how he. That's how someone comes to. That's the beginning of the story of meeting the country's greatest chess champion. Not Katy Perry, the pop star. He's a bit of a geek and can't believe someone as famous and glamorous as Katie is interested in him. Yeah, that's not the question we asked. That's not what. How did they come to be. Oh, he's such a geek. He can't believe he's someone as gorgeous and beautiful as Katie. Okay, cool. We get it. Yeah. They're together, that he likes her. How did they meet? Where did this happen? Meanwhile, Perry is flattered such a respected politician wants to date her again. Back to what I said in the beginning. Both perspectives make sense. He's in the public service arena. What? A pop star wants to meet me? She's a pop star. What? McGill. Educated politician. I'm just assuming. McGill. They always say that's like the Harvard of Canada. The dark horse. Singer, 40 and Trudeau, 53. 40, 53. Makes sense. First sparked rumors, romance rumors, in July when they were spotted walking around Mount Royal park in Montreal before grabbing a bite to eat at Levo Le Violon. I'm sure that's the violin. Okay. They're seeing Trudeau was then seen at her concert with his daughter. Oh, he has a daughter. Never mind. Okay. At the time, a source told the US sun that Justin has been single for a while and has enjoyed getting to know her. Justin separated from his wife, Sophie Trudeau in 2023. I had no idea about all that. Should I know about this? I probably should. I don't know. I guess if you're being fair to a politician, the job is politician. It's not mar. But I did just say that's so it makes more sense that he was married with a daughter. Then he lose. You know, he's out, wife gone. What's his deal? He likes her personality. Okay, come on, come on. There's. There's a point where the quotes you go, who is this, like, AI responding? He likes her personality. And they are two people who really enjoy chatting about different topics. Yeah, that's kind of what couples do. And they click very well so far as they are going to see each other again very soon. Okay, so they're dating. This is them floating out. We are dating. We've been dating. Stop asking questions whenever we're seen together. Stop making it more than it is. Or two people getting to know each other. And I would say the rom com. If I'm to write the movie, her going on the European leg, he joins her. The daughter maybe comes along for the ride. The daughter's the comic relief. There's something. All right, let's go to this one. I like this story because I want to play a game. Okay, let's play a game called are they out of Touch? Okay, I'm going to. Because this story is about Kylie Jenner. Kylie Jenner slammed as out of touch over Kylie cosmetics promo. Okay, so Kylie Jenner slammed us deeply out of touch over Kylie cosmetics promo. And insanely disgusting. So we're gonna play a game called are they out of Touch? I will play the person pitching her this promo idea. And I do think if you do it that way, you kind of feel like you can then suss out whether it's out of touch or not. But I don't even know what it is. Kylie Jenner is being encouraged to read the room following the drop of her latest Kylie cosmetics promo. Over the weekend, she posted a short video on Instagram showing her getting arrested. The clip featured the reality star turned billionaire beauty mogul. Dressed in a black leather bra. She looks amazing. Matching micro shorts, silver hip chains, translucent black tights, and black pointed toe pumps. I'm looking at the picture. She is side by side by two burly cops. Her long, dark, wavy locks and with teal highlights cascaded down her shoulders. And. And she sported smoldering makeup. Okay, she looks great. I get it. I'm seeing her in the cuffs. To me, you're allowed to be arrested for a promo, so I don't know what's out of touch. Handcuffed, Jenner strutted down the hallway of a jail or prison in Slo Mo as two officers walked behind her on either side. King Kylie tomorrow flashed across the screen as a woman was heard whispering the words King Kylie Tomorrow. Okay, this makes sense. King Kylie refers to Jenner's rebellious style in 2015, the year she launched her lip kits that developed into the empire she has today. Okay, where's the out of touch part? Some fans were excited about the return of Jenner's most memorable era. I mean, oh, yeah, I remember the King Kylie days. Oh, where was I? Writing things like, oh, we're back, we're back big time. That would be the most pathetic person I've ever spoken to in my entire life. If I was talking to someone and they were like. And I was like, how you doing? Oh, we're back. We are back. King Kylie era is in full effect again. Remember in 2015 when she was King Kylie and then that kind of went away and now she's back, she's saying she's King Kylie again. I'd be like, cool, Nice. So how are your parents? Have you found a job yet? Like, that wouldn't be. It shows. It is interesting that we trust anyone online with comments when they are in the same. Like you. How can you get upset with someone being angered online when someone also writes in the same space? We are back to Kylie Jenner being in her King Kylie era again. But others blasted the Kardashian star for the artistic route she took for the visual. The country's boiling over. Citizens being dragged off by rogue badge hungry Rent a cops. And Kylie Jenner drops a handcuffed hot pants photo shoot to promote cosmetics in all caps. This isn't satire, it's American Rotten, wrote one furious Reddit user, referencing the ongoing ice raids across the U.S. i'm Team Kylie in this and I don't even. I mean, let's play the game. Ready, Kylie? Okay, here's what we're going to do. So we're going to pitch Kylie. I'm the pitch person. Kylie, we're going to pitch you. Your. Your King Kylie era was in 2015. We're going to get you coming out of Prison because you're being released from these shackles that were holding you down from being King Kylie. And we're going to bring you back to life as the King Kylie everyone knows and wants you to be. And fans are going to look at you and they're going to comment on your Instagram. We're back, baby, 2015, where things were good. We're going to bring it back again in 2025. How about that, Kylie? And we'll have you in hot pants and a hot number and you're going to have streaks in your hair and you're going to be in, you know, in handcuffs and you're going to be flanked by two hot security guys. How do you think about that? To me, nowhere in that pitch am I going, I don't know. We got ice raids going on around the country. Like that would be like a crazy thing to think about. In reference to Kylie being again released in prison. Released from prison if the pitch was Kylie, we're going to get you working at a local grocery store. A cop's going to come in and ask you for your papers. You're not going to have them, but you're going to say calmly that they have that they're at home. And the cops going to say get the lockdown on the ground and put you in handcuffs and drag you to a police car while wearing a face mask so we can't see their identity. Then I would go, that's a little on the nose. That's a little on the, that, that's out of touch to say the word insanely disgusting in reference to her being released from prison, being flanked by two hot security guards while she looks absolutely unbelievable with handcuffs on. And then to like make that about what's going on in the world, I would say that's a self serving comment on. As a Redditor, that is you saying my mind only goes to the horrifics of the world. Any mention of cuffs or cops or arrest will bring me to there and bring. And what you're saying, you're assuming we will bring everyone to there that I disagree with. I am Team Kylie. I slam my gavel. I consider her not out of touch. Let's do another story. We have spent a lot of time on two stories. I thought we were going to get through all these. I don't know. I like this story. Again, this is the, this is Defend Rich Celebrities day here on Pop Culture Thursday because this headline isn't really fair. Wendy Williams learned how much she pays in rent by reading New York Magazine. That is totally believable to me. If you have a business manager and you give them the right to sign for you because you trust them and they have some sort of fiduciary responsibility to you and they say you can afford the apartment, we're going to do it. I can understand that. Wendy Williams is a very successful person who has a business manager who has a pot of money that their manager is in charge of taking care of for them. And they probably go over it on the yearly here's your expenses. And this is how people, this is how celebrities get stolen from. And I like would you do it that way? Would I do it that way? Probably not. Probably not. We'd probably be like well how much is the apartment? I can understand that. Well, Wendy Williams is operating on a different way. Wendy Williams seems to be learning about her finances by reading her own press coverage. The former talk show host is so out of the loop about her finances. See this isn't fair. She didn't even know how much she was paying for her living arrangements at the core cautery until she read about it in New York magazine this week. A report told Page Six. A source told Page Six Williams is the subject of Mag's most recent cover story. The article takes a deep dive into their current guardianship and campaign to rid herself from a court appointed guardian. So she's not doing well. This story is kind of harping on that. If you're in a guardianship dispute, things are tough. The article takes a deep dive into her current. Okay, we read this. The piece also sheds light onto some of her finances including the alleged $25,000 a month per month she rent. She pays for a studio at the Luxury Dump as Williams called it. Oh my God. Luxury Dump. A close source close to Williams told us she believed she was paying 18,000amonth for the pad. I mean I don't know is this coming from her trying to help herself? She believes Sabrina is draining her money. She doesn't even know how much she's worth. The source says we're told the living facilities hefty rent has left Williams increasingly anxious about her finances as she's not allowed to earn an income. This is a sad story. I, I, I don't to me her not knowing what her rent is, that can happen. We also don't know what her state is and we don't know this is again if she's in a dispute over her guardianship. I believe this is an arrow being shot I guess to help her in the, in the, in the case because any one of us, I'm assuming, listening or me doing this show would go 25,000amonth. My God, what is for rent? And then you go for rent. It's a sadder story than. Than the the headline. To me, you go, oh, she just learned what you paid. And it gets sadder as it goes. I honestly had, I mean, show a picture. She actually looks pretty good considering you're under a guardianship. Lawsuits and lawyer fees, including Morrissey's, have further complicated money matters she's very concerned about. She was told 18,000 and now she's reading it's 25. They're draining her money. Like, why 25,000? And this is to. To besmirch her guardian for a studio at the Coterie. She's furious. The source said. They added Williams doesn't even know how much her Uber and taxi fees are when she is able to go for Deb dinner in nyc. I mean, to me this would be normal. She allegedly receives an allowance of 200 to $300 a week that she used to buy things like Twizzlers and magazines. Oh my God. Williams is expected to testify next month in a lawsuit Morrissey filed against A E and Lifetime, alleging the network aired the damaging documentary where is Wendy Williams? Without her consent. One lawsuit said she she no longer has to worry about is the $250 million lawsuit her ex, Kevin Hunter, filed in June demanding her release from the guardianship. This story's deeper than I even knew. TMZ reported. A judge dismissed that dismissed that suit. The that Williams has previously said was a money grab. It's also very confusing. Like people are trying to get this the guardianship taken away, but it's being dismissed. In the meantime, she continues to find a semblance of her old life by frequenting haunts like Tucci and Delmonico's. She died at the late the Ladder earlier this week, with patrons greeting her and sending her well wishes. She thrives off it. Wendy smiles from ear to ear when that happens. She really does love being famous. But this whole situation has recently humbled her. Okay. I mean, that story feels like it's more than I even knew. I. I didn't know that she was going through all that, man. But I do think when you say I didn't know I was spending $25,000 a month, that kind of makes sense more than people would understand. But I don't know I said I was Team Wendy before. I don't know what up to where I stand on that. Okay, here so this is a story that like know before there was algorithms, there were ages. And I think Al Pacino and Diane Keaton dating for two decades is just above my age. And I'm sure someone else who's older is like, yes, they were like a thing for a lot. Like to them, that's the couple that like they always knew. Alpacino's one big regret revealed after X d Diane Keaton's death she was the love of his life. I mean that's the type of thing you say to someone while they're alive. But maybe not. Al Pacino reportedly regrets not marrying Diane Keaton after their on again, off again relationship that spanned nearly two decades. I, I mean, you know, who doesn't like to hear that Al Pacino's current like girlfriend, he has a daughter with, I think, or has a, has a, he's just had a kid. Keaton, who died Saturday in California at age 79, played Pacino's girlfriend in the Godfather trilogy. They started dating in 1974. They called it quits in 1990 after Keaton gave him an ultimatum and he refused to commit to marriage. Wow. Pacino, 85, now wishes he had tied the knot with a late actress, a source told the Daily Mail in an article published Sunday. That's easy to say now. Come on. Not fair. I don't know. That's a self serving quote. I loved her and I would have married. Yeah, while you're here, I don't know. While she's gone, I don't know. I know he will forever. I know he will forever regret he didn't make his move when he had the chance, a friend of the legendary actor told the outlet. For years he and Diane split. Al used for years after he and Diane split, Al used to say if it's meant to be, it's never too late for a do over. But sadly, now it is. Looking back, Al admits the love of his life was Diane, who always called who he always, who he's always called an amazing woman, the friend added. The source also said that Keaton and Pacino never spoke despite both having lived near one another in Beverly Hills. I once asked him why and he told me there's no need to talk with each other. We said everything that needed to be said at the time, the source said. A rep for Pacino didn't immediately respond to Page Six requests for comment. I mean, he's got to be incredibly sad to see her pass. I forgot she was the girlfriend. Keaton looked back on her relationship with PACINO In a 2017 interview with the Sunday Times saying that in hindsight, it was better the two didn't ever wed. I didn't even want him to propose. I just thought maybe he would marry me eventually, she recalled. I thought, don't even propose, let's just do it, she continued. But that never happened and that is a blessing for us both. It would have been a nightmare for him. For him. Why? The Oscar winning actress told the outlet that ultimately they weren't a good match. We're very eccentric. He needed a woman that was going to take care of him. I needed a man who would take care of me. It was just very important that we left each other alone, said goodbye, she shared. But it wasn't my choice, man. The this is like, this is another movie. Keaton previously admitted that she was head over heels for Pacino after developing a crusher on him during the filming of 1972's The Godfather. I was mad for him. Charming, hilarious, a non stop talker, Keaton told people about her ex in 2017. There was an aspect of him that was like a lost orphan, like a, like this kind of crazy idiot savant and oh, gorgeous. Keaton never married, but she adopted two children in her 50s, daughter Dexter, 29, and son Duke, 25. Pacino also never married. He has four children, Julie Marie, 35, twins Anton and Olivia, 24, and son Roman, 2. Yeah, he has a 2 year old with his girlfriend, I think. I mean the quote is coming from a source, so we don't know how. Pacino made a rare public appearance at the 45th AFI Life Achievement Award tribute to honor Keaton in 2017. You're an artist, d he told her during his speech. I mean you're a great artist. I love you forever. The son of a woman actor isn't Keaton's only ex, reportedly shrugging to struggling to cope with with her passing. Woody Allen, who Keaton, whom Keaton dated for a few years in the early 70s and worked with on multiple films, is extremely distraught over Keaton's death. What a lineup for Keaton. Al Pacino and Woody Allen and different. She must have really like been an artist to date those two. She must have really been like an artist artist, like around it, like into the craft because those two are so different. Looks wise that you gotta go and personality wise seemingly that you go, oh, she's just into like talent. Like that's what, you know, we all have our things again to go back to Travis and you know, Travis and Taylor. Like there's an attraction to the celebrity status of it all, the success. That's an amaz. I mean, okay, I'm gonna do one or two more stories, and then we'll get out of here. Uh, Meghan Markle, who I'm not usually on the side of, but I. I don't really have a side. I read the articles and I make. I give my opinion. Again, I. We're all guilty of biases, but here's a. Here's an article title that it feels like it makes you want to hate. Meghan Markle. Meghan Markle invited herself to Paris Fashion Week. Balenciaga designer says. So that makes it sound like the Balenciaga designer was in the middle of stitching something, and all of a sudden, Meghan Markle walked in and said, where's my chair? And did that without any invitation whatsoever. That's the way it sounds to me. And then the article goes on. Okay, invitation for one, please. Again, like, this is what Page Six does. They know we have a thing against Megan Mar. Or that people do, because she hasn't really been too likable to this point from everything we kind of get served about her. And it seems that every time she makes an attempt at likeability, it just falls flat. Balenciaga designer Pierre Paulo Picciola Piccoli revealed. Meghan Markle reached out and said she'd love to come to his Paris Fashion Week show. To me, that's how it works. Like, that's not really a fair headline to Meghan Markle. Hey, I'd love to come. I think you're great. Like, that is a complimentary call. That's not showing up and going, where's my table? I'm Meghan Markle. I'm the Duchess of Sussex. Let me in. That's not what that is. After the Duchess of Sussex. The Dutch. After the Duchess of Sussex made her fashion show debut on October 4, the newly minted creative director for the brand gave some insight on how her surprise appearance came to be. So this was, like, a nice thing. That title does not ring. Nice thing to say. Meghan Markle invited herself to Paris Fashion Week. Balenciaga designer says that is not the same as. She called me. She wants to be a part of it. I'd love to come. And it. It's not a birthday party. This is a business event where having Meghan Markle there is a good thing for you, even if you're Balenciaga. Megan and I met some years ago. We've been texting ever since. This title is. So if I'm Meghan Markle. If you go, what do you think of Page Six? I would reference this as they're just trying to get people to they, they know I'm divisive, they know I get clicks. They don't really help me out. They're not on my side. If I'm her She reached out and said she'd love to come to the show. There was no strategy or big orchestration. I didn't tell anyone she was coming because I wanted to stay a surprise. So we both went. The this is one of those Page Six moments where this is the way the world works. This is gross, this is mean. This is what they do. Like you know, you gotta go. You if you wanna be a part of Page Six's world, you sign up for the good and the bad. This is, this is the one where you go, okay, this is how they use the Duchess of Sussex. The Italian designer, 58, went on to note that in fashion, real surprises are rare. And this is, this one was beautiful. You would not expect that quote based on the title. Two weeks ago with the with love, Megan Star sent Paris Fashion Week attendees into a frenzy when she pulled up to the controversial brand's show in a white long sleeve button down tunic with a flowing cape and matching slacks. She paired the minimal minimalist outfit with black pointy toed heels, a black clutch purse and diamond studded earrings. I mean she looks, I'm seeing the pictures of her. This is a waltz in outfit. This is Devil Wears Prada opening scene. The back outfit it is. She looks great. But this title, I have another title that I want to get to because we'll do this last one and then we're out of here. If you like this show, share this show if there's an article that spoke to you or was part of the brunch conversation or group chat, send this to let people know it's being talked about and way, you know, add it to your conversation. That's what this show's all about. It's Pop Culture Thursday. This is a brain melt podcast. I like this one cause I like to guess. Well, I did have a thing. I, I when I saw the title I was thinking what are the things I would show up to if I were Meghan Markle level status? Like what would you do? Like I've been to a Super Bowl. I don't know if I would use my name to get into a Super bowl, but I would see if my name could do it. But you don't wanna be reported at on as Jared Freed showed up to Bud Light super bowl party, wasn't let in, seen outside looking chubby on his phone. Like, I wouldn't want that article read. So I do think I would show up to restaurants more if I had the name recognition of Meghan Markle. Like, I would. Corner store wouldn't be able to get rid of me in New York like that. That's a place I would, I would do okay. But I didn't think about it. I was like, what are the places I would, you know, drop in on? I guess comedy clubs. That's the only thing I would like, love to do. You know, the goal, my goal in standup is to have to be good enough and big enough that I can show up to any comedy club. And they go, when do you want to go on? Oh my God, Jared, this is awesome. When would you like to go on that? I think that's the ultimate, you know, place for a comedian to get, if I'm to be honest. I mean, that's when I see someone go to the seller and they're like, when do you want to go on? I'm like, ooh, I am jealous. Ben Stiller reveals the worst decision of his life as he admits he up raising his two kids. That title, unlike the the Megan Marle title, you go, ooh, what happened with Megan? Whose party did she crash? Oh my God, Megan being Megan again. This one is so outlandish that anyone who's clicking on it going, oh, Ben Affleck. Ben Affleck. Anyone who's clicking it going, oh, Ben Stiller. Bad parent alert is an idiot. So the worst decision of his life has gotta be something I, I think he bought to me when it says Ben Stiller reveals the worst decision of his life as he admits he up raising his two kids. I think he got them interested in something that now costs him a lot of money. That's like a dad thing. Only thing, like a dad would go, ah, I messed up with these two kids and they got like 10 Labubus in their hand. That's the only thing this could mean. Ben Stiller admitted cutting his daughter out of one of his movies was the worst decision he ever made as a parent. How do you cut your daughter out? I mean, what was her part? Of all the parts, what would she be? But I guess it's your daughter. So you go, she'll understand the most. But when you're cutting people. The Zoolander star shared that he's still haunted by omitting his now 23 year old daughter. Ella Olivia. Ella Olivia Stiller out of the two. Is that like a rich person thing? They rich person kids thing. You get to go and do the middle name. Ella Olivia Stiller. Isn't that Ella Stiller? Out of his 2013 film the Secret Life of Walter Mitty. In his new documentary about his parents, Jerry Stiller and Anne Mara, titled Stiller and Mara Nothing is Lost. While reflecting on how he inherited his father's fixation with perfectionism, Ben told Ella it's probably the worst decision I ever made in my life. Wow. And they show him on the red carpet for Walter Mitty. I didn't know. I never saw that movie. I don't know what the Walter Mitty movie is. Ben's daughter, who he shares with his wife Christine Taylor, was able to laugh off the cut, explaining she was really scared to make her on camera movie debut as young Odessa Mitty, the sibling of the movie's frontman Walter Mitty, portrayed by Ben59. The actress admitted her brief scene didn't make sense in the movie. For me it kind of goes deeper. Ben who direct. It kind of goes deeper. Ben who directed the film, chimed in. What it relates to is my own issues with my own obsession with my work or perfectionism. That does seem like. And they show him. I've never seen his daughter. The daughter, it really. She looks like Ann Mara. Mira. She looks like the mother very. And I listen. This is actually a more open. This quote is actually more about Ben than it is the kids. It seems like she's cool with it. The Tropics Thunder. The Tropic Thunder star then asked his 20 year old son Quinlan. Quinlan. Quinlan Dempsey Stiller QDs. Is that the. Is that again this middle name thing? If he could relate to Ella's experience. You have all these hats that you're trying to balance, you know. Quinlan explained what that's a 20 year old speaking. It sounds like an 80 year old being a director, an actor, you know, a producer, a writer, but also just like a father, right? What this is a 20 year old. And sometimes I felt like that would come, you know, last to these other things. What a quote. You being a dad was the last in the order of, you know, operations. I think there's things, you know, after a tough day or something was going wrong. You can very much get in your own head. He added, I mean these kids act like they're 80 to me. I listen. I just got dinner with my dad before I taped this earlier and then I had someone show up the apartment. So I'm taping the end of this after I taped the beginning to let you behind the curtain. So I went to dinner with my dad, and we went to a Thai restaurant that he thought was there, and it closed. And my dad goes, oh, I love this place. He reacted more to the Thai place closing than anything I've ever done. I love this place. That's what he said when we realized it was not there anymore. I love this place. It's gone. So then we went to a chicken place, but I don't know if I'm talking. Seems like Quinlan understands it more than I do. I mean, they show him on the bench with his dad at a Knicks game with Taylor Swift. I mean, the kid. You grow up fast, I guess, when you're in that world. I mean, Ben Stiller's worried about perfectionism. My dad's worried about the Thai place he thought was there, and it's closed. Okay, that's it for me. Pop Culture Thursday back next week. Boom.
