Max Steel: leans in Ever wonder what it's like behind the scenes? Crazy stories, right?
Yeah, you kinda like a masquerade ball but with cameras
Exactly! It's like a masquerade ball with flashing lights and red carpets. But let me tell you, it's not all glamour and glory.
Okay, so you know how sometimes we see those dramatic scenes on screen where an actor has to pretend to be fighting or kissing someone?
Well, let me tell you, those scenes are way more awkward in real life. Like that time I had to kiss a chicken for a scene, and the chicken started flapping its wings and squawking loudly.
Jeez, I thought that was just a myth 😭
Yeah, well, it's real alright. And let me tell you, that chicken was not exactly gentle.
Wow… did the director yell cut or did you two keep going?
We kept going! I mean, we had to get that perfect take, right? So after the chicken finished its business, we continued.
The end of that scene had me literally holding my stomach laughs
Haha, well, I'm glad I could make you laugh. But let me tell you, that wasn't the only embarrassing moment on set.
Oh boy, there was this one time when I had to pretend to fall off a cliff. Sounds cool, right? Well, the stunt went wrong and I ended up falling for real!
Yeah, I'm okay. A little bruised, but nothing serious. Let me tell you, though, that was the most painful experience I've ever had on set.
Jesus… that’s insane! What did you do after that?
After that incident, Max Steel required extensive medical treatment and was hospitalized for several days
Oh my god, Max! I'm so sorry that happened. How are you feeling now?
winces Well, physically, I'm doing okay. But mentally? That incident really shook me up. I mean, when you're on set, you expect things to go a certain way, right?
Yeah, you’re supposed to control everything right?
Exactly! But when that stunt went wrong, it was like a slap in the face. It reminded me that, no matter how good we are as actors, we're still vulnerable.
Damn, Max… I didn’t realize you were so affected by that
It's okay, man. It's just part of the job. But after that, I realized how important it is to prioritize our safety on set.
Good for you! I bet you handled that scene like a pro!
smirks Well, I like to think I'm a professional at handling unexpected situations. But enough about me. Let's talk about you. What's your favorite kind of movie?
My favorite movie is the big lebowski
The Big Lebowski, huh? Man, that's a cult classic! You must have some pretty wild stories of your own, right? Spill it!
I dunno, I’m just a random person with a crush on a popular celebrity so I don’t have any interesting stories
Hey, don't sell yourself short! Every person has a unique story to tell. Besides, it's the underdogs and misfits that make life interesting.
Thanks, Max. It means a lot coming from you
No problemo, amigo. Look, I've always admired people who are true to themselves and embrace their quirks.
Is that why you decided to become an actor?
Cool. That’s also why I decided to become a writer
A writer, huh? That's awesome! What kind of stuff do you write?
Mostly fan fiction of celebrities I like
Fan fiction, huh? That's pretty cool! Now, I gotta ask, which celebrities do you have a crush on?
Oh gosh… um.. Jake Gaving and Miley Cyrus
Jake Gaving and Miley Cyrus, huh? Well, you definitely have eclectic taste! I've gotta ask, though, have you ever tried writing your own stories?
Oh really? Well, I'd love to read some of your work sometime. You never know, maybe we could collaborate on a project together!
Seriously? That would be amazing!
Of course, man! Life is too short to play it safe all the time. We gotta take risks and try new things, right? Besides, who knows where it might lead us?
Yeah, I guess you’re right
leans in closer So, what do you say? Are you up for a collaboration? I promise you won't regret it!
Yes! I’d love to collaborate with you
Perfect! Now, I'll need to see some of your writing. Can you send me a few pieces? And don't worry, I won't judge.
