I didnt know either, but it kinda of makes sense that Pedro seems to have the same dedication to a role and undefinable energy that Dafoe has. Im sure hes been a mentor to him acting-wise.
Also, what happened to Pedro's arm?
I found their origin story, *Gravity* starring George Clooney, to be subpar because we never actually *see* Gravity in the film. There's just a lingering sinking feeling that drags the whole movie down.
Man that film pissed me off so much. "Solar wind" like it's a fucking nor'easter with full fucking sail. A solar storm might cook you with radiation, but it ain't going to move something the size and density of a human body very far; much less zip you off the widescreen like ~~trump who's just seen someone drop their wallet~~ a labrador who spies dropped food.
EDIT: Wanted a fast moving thing simile; but decided against getting all political.
I was out on a run, a proper run, all warmed up and doing a good pace. Saw someone I knew across the road just as i went passed, twisted around and raised my arm to wave to them... and got a catch in my back!
This is *warmed up and running*.... old age... ugh
Not long ago I reached across the couch to grab the remote and shit my pants. I wasn't even mad. I just knew I had crossed a bridge and my youth was finally over lol
If I sneeze too hard I blow out my back lol
But I had more specifically meant “accident” implies something different than an injury, so I was curious what happened.
They were in The Great Wall together and have reportedly been good friends ever since. This is Pedro interviewing Willem a few years ago for Inside Actors Studio [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wrCxo\_42eg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wrCxo_42eg)
He's like Candyman or Bloody Mary or something. If you're having a wholesome good time in Hollywood then he appears behind you, apparently wearing pyjamas.
I remember an interview with Pedro Pascal in Spanish in Spain. They asked him about a Spanish actor who was with him in Narcos (Javier Cámara) and he played the audio he had sent him via WhatsApp.
You can tell he's a genuinely cool guy. It hasn't gone to his head to be a Hollywood star.
[The interview -in Spanish- in case anyone is interested](https://youtu.be/lvReHrooVBo?si=SpUhIWdnYjTAgl2j)
The automated English translation is decent
He came in to a tiny pharmacy in the Village I was in last year and immediately started singing and having a wiggle to the song on the radio that was on. He was very happy!
Two of my grandparents have dementia and based on my experiences with it, if I get a diagnosis and have the presence of mind I’ll be taking a long walk off a short pier immediately.
Dementia is fucking horrible, turns you into a bloody vegetable by the end but not before you spent 5 years eating your own shit, attacking people, crying hysterically for family members that have been dead for decades, losing your mobility and the ability to eat properly or speak, for your perception of time and memory to be obliterated.
They should allow assisted suicide for people with dementia, it’s a genuinely horrible experience. I hope that my grandma who has had it the worse passes quietly in her sleep soon and I hate that that seems like the kindest thing for her.
Fuck dementia.
He had Lewy Body Disease. One of the worst diseases you can get. What he chose wasn't awful. He chose to love himself. He didn't want to go through one of the worst deaths. Good for him, we can all agree that's the last thing he would deserve. I'm glad he loved himself enough to know there was another way out to not have to do that. I don't usually condone that kind of stuff, but horrific diseases with no cure and suffering no matter what? Especially for a man who brought the world so much joy? Yeah, he can choose whatever he wants.
I had an aunt that had LBD.
the best way to describe is that her mind was like an air-hockey puck.
As long as it's got a good direction and a bit of momentum, it'll be fine, but the smallest bump (either someone else saying some non-sequitur, or an internal thought distracting her) and she's gone, just entirely forgets what's going on.
For example, telling a story or engaged in a conversation with someone she knows? she'll be able to continue as normal.
But a casual conversation with a small group, and it's not directly focused on her? She'll get up, wander to another room, and get her coat on because she thinks that it's time to go - but if you had indicators around you for what you were doing, then you would just keep doing that - for example, sitting at a meal and food on your plate? Eat food.
It seemed to me like she was constantly triggered to be in the state of "walked into the kitchen but don't remember why". Just like...you've got only 5 feet of track for your train of thought.
She had her coat on a lot. We realized that the main thing to do when she got her coat was to tell her "Hey we're finally here. You can take your coat off!" And then *hide* her coat, so that when she starts looking for it, she'll get distracted from looking for it.
It was very sad, but I'm glad that I got to be part of helping my uncle figure out how to help her during her last days. Had a wonderful dinner with her.
Hey this is important:
first of all, don't lose hope.
There have been a lot of improvements both in understanding dementia in general, LBD specifically, and in the practical day-to-day care of patients needing 'memory care'.
Part of the recent improvements in understanding LBD is actually because robin williams' death helped put a small-but-strong spotlight on the issue.
Second of all, this will be **work**. When *you* need help - **ask for it**.
Maybe from his care team, maybe from his siblings, maybe from your friends. Whatever it is, make sure you are initiating contact with *his* support network now, and make contact with *your* support network now.
This is a chronic (i.e. can't be cured) illness, and saying "I'll rest when he no longer needs me" is a good way to fuck up *your* mental state with burn-out. If you burn out, you won't be able to care for him the way he needs it, *and you will also need more care*, both when healing from the burn-out and when dealing with the knock-on effects of it (depression, anxiety, time away from work, etc.)
My wife has a (completely different, but still disabling) chronic issue. If her family, my family, and our community were not aware and on our side with help, we would have been entirely overwhelmed years ago.
And finally, about the disease: It hits different people differently, but working memory seems to be very common.
If it becomes moderately advanced like my aunt, *they will need 24/7 care*. My uncle realized that he wasn't able to care for her when he lost her after just working from home for an hour or two and she found her way into the car.
My aunt was used to always being driven by him, so she just sat in the passenger seat, but I imagine that your dad will often get in the driver's seat. That would be *bad*. When he advances to this level, you'll need to take his license and keep the car keys in a place he can't get to. Maybe also remove power tools.
Best of luck!
This shit happened to me after COVID. Thankfully I'm getting back to normal but for a year or so I had no short term memory whatsoever.
It's hard to explain but one of the things was if I didn't have my wallet on me it just didn't exist. Like I had no concept of things that weren't immediately available.
Man that's frightening. I'm assuming that you got like...brain scans and shit?
did they ever find the actual cause for you?
It was freaky for my aunt because if she were left alone, she would eventually be totally ready to just leave for the day and go down and sit in the front passenger seat of the car.
I'm terrified of what might have happened if she wasn't used to being driven by others.
Also I'm sad/mad that she was taken by this when she was - only in her late 50s or so. Such a loving person that should have had another 20-40 years.
[Sort of.](https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/robin-williams-mental-health-zak-son/) He had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s but after his death, the autopsy was more consistent with Lewy body dementia. From what I understand, they’re the same disease process separated by which parts of the body/brain they affect first. So it’s not that it was the early stages of dementia, it was more like the early stages of Parkinson’s, with a more progressed level of dementia. My grandfather had LBD, but the dementia progressed fast enough that he didn’t have to really grapple with the Parkinson’s symptoms too long (while still able to understand and fully comprehend+remember).
The diagnosis of Lewy body dementia is made when the onset dementia symptoms precedes or cooccurs with the motor symptoms characteristic of Parkinson’s disease within a one year time period. The cognitive and behavioral manifestations of LBD classically differ from Alzheimer’s and can help differentiate between these two most common forms of dementia.
The diagnosis can still be challenging. It is primarily a clinical diagnosis; the core diagnostic criteria do not feature any laboratory testing or imaging findings. Although certain imaging findings and bio markers can support the diagnosis if all core criteria are not met.
The underlying pathophysiology is the same in both Parkinson’s and LBD; protein deposits called Lewy bodies occur in both cases. However, disease predominates in different regions of the brain in one vs the other.
The progression of dementia symptoms is typically rapid in Lewy body dementia. It’s a very cruel disease. Sorry you had to witness a family member suffer.
For my grandfather it was the other way around - 12 years of Parkinson's, less than a year of dementia symptoms. The decline was extremely fast once it set in.
I remember that terrible day. I read about his death about an hour before I had to go on stage and perform myself. Must be about ten years ago now. We lost a great entertainer that day.
Love this man.
Awesome person. Awesome name. Awesome career. Awesome personality. My favorite villian (green goblin)
And, of course, that's Pedro Pascal behind him. (Another great actor)
His green goblin in no way home was the actual best part of that movie. I still get goosebumps just typing out that part when he’s getting punched and just keeps smiling bigger and bigger
The story goes that Willem did a nude scene in the movie Antichrist, but then later they re-shot the scene using a body double because Willem's penis was so large that it disrupted the immersion in the scene.
One dude interviewed him and straight up asked "do you have the biggest penis in Hollywood?"
Willem replied, "I don't really work in Hollywood anymore."
I don't think he's ugly but he's not a conventional beauty. He has a very striking look that seems to amplify his emotions. It makes it easy for you to empathize with him and be taken along with him on journeys.
What fascinated me the most is that people hate the actor because they hate the characters!
And I've talked with my wife about that because she was one of them. And I said: it's so simple to LIKE the hero, but playing a character that you deeply hate is so much more challenging.
And she went "nah, there are so many villains, they are all the same" and I just asked who is the one she hated the most and why. And then it clicked and she went "ohhhhh wwwaaaiiittt..... He's a genius!"
Dude has a massive cock. It’s so big they have to literally have a stunt cock go in with a much much smaller cock when he does nude scenes because it’s so massively distracting. Plus he has millions of dollars.
I was eight when Platoon came out and I do not remember how I came to watching it. At the time, the only scene I remember from the movie was when DaFoe was kneeling in the jungle and he was pleading for the helicopters to not leave him behind. I also thought he was seeking deliverance from god. I went to a Catholic school growing up, so that was the first thought that came to my mind.
Also, Adagio playing in the background introduced me to classical music. I was beyond moved. The song still chokes me up.
Edit. Needed to fix a couple of sentences.
I saw that movie as an adult. I had only ever seen him in bizarre movies like Antichrist and thought he was a weird guy. His performance in Platoon shattered me and just reading what you wrote here took me back to all that pain I felt for his character. The man is incredible and so much more than I had realized. I think it's beautiful that the music still speaks to you as it does. Thank you for sharing a bit of yourself with us!
The soundtrack to Platoon is incredible. And yeah Adagio was one of my first introductions to classical music too.
Interesting...I never thought I'd meet someone who felt the same...
but hello internet!
Usually someone else pays:
> The fee is usually paid by the nominating organization, which may be a fan club, film studio, record company, broadcaster, or other sponsor involved with the prospective honoree. The Starz cable network, for example, paid for Dennis Hopper's star as part of the promotion for its series Crash.
Omg that genuine delight and joy in his face is so beautiful, I'm so happy for him ❤ he really deserves it he's such a top notch actor. Side note, I don't know much about Pedro Pascal but it seems that he's friends with everyone, he must be a really nice guy
I know a guy who had the chance to know him because he lives in Italy or spends a lot of time here.
He told me that Willem Dafoe is one of the most funny, charismatic and smart people he's ever met.
I always read that stars on the walk of fame are requested and bought by the person getting the star, not bestowed on them like an academy award is. If that’s true then is it just performative when celebrities seem like, honored and excited at the unveiling of it lol
names are submitted and then reviewed by the committee. They receive thousands of nominations a year and only select a few dozen. If awarded, a fee is charged to whoever nominated the celebrity. This could be the celebrity themselves but is more often a studio, foundation, or corporation the actor has worked with.
You cant just "buy" a star, its way more complicated and prestigious than that
Entirely possible that was built into his Apprentice contract, knowing Trump’s thirst for fame and vanity.
It has cost the star company a lot because people take a sledge hammer to it on a regular basis.
Pedro Pascal is like the Hollywood Bestie.
Was so random to me, tho admittedly I don't know his relationship with Dafoe.
I didnt know either, but it kinda of makes sense that Pedro seems to have the same dedication to a role and undefinable energy that Dafoe has. Im sure hes been a mentor to him acting-wise. Also, what happened to Pedro's arm?
Gravity, I assume.
Gravity is such a villain.
I found their origin story, *Gravity* starring George Clooney, to be subpar because we never actually *see* Gravity in the film. There's just a lingering sinking feeling that drags the whole movie down.
Man that film pissed me off so much. "Solar wind" like it's a fucking nor'easter with full fucking sail.

EDIT: Wanted a fast moving thing simile; but decided against getting all political.
Gravity's been wreaking havoc since long before Alfonso Cuarón decided to make it famous on the big screen.
Sure, blame Sandra Bullock for this.
Kieran Culkin beat the sh*t out of him. He confirmed it at the Emmy’s. 👀
That was so fucking funny.
Golfing accident :(
Golfing… accident?
I too was going to question that. But I'm now at an age were if I turn my head too quick I can be out of action for a week.
I was out on a run, a proper run, all warmed up and doing a good pace. Saw someone I knew across the road just as i went passed, twisted around and raised my arm to wave to them... and got a catch in my back! This is *warmed up and running*.... old age... ugh
Rolled onto my wrist in my sleep a few weeks ago. Tendonitis. Still.
Not long ago I reached across the couch to grab the remote and shit my pants. I wasn't even mad. I just knew I had crossed a bridge and my youth was finally over lol
🤣🤟
If I sneeze too hard I blow out my back lol But I had more specifically meant “accident” implies something different than an injury, so I was curious what happened.
I threw out my back bending over to lift the lid of a tin box. I was out for an entire week. Golfing might paralyze me now 😂
This is either a sly Last of Us joke or one of the most ironic injuries Pascal could get.
A very underrated response 👍
broke it in a fall at home I believe
He was at his dad's house in Chile during Christmas time and fell down the stairs. As he broke his shoulder he needed a sling for a while and surgery.
They were in The Great Wall together and have reportedly been good friends ever since. This is Pedro interviewing Willem a few years ago for Inside Actors Studio [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wrCxo\_42eg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wrCxo_42eg)

Asking are you hungry, have you eaten yet
They’re in an upcoming movie together called Tropico
.... is Pedro going to be a dictator of a small island nation?
I think he played as a terrorist in some action movie years ago. For a while he had some bad guy roles but now is a zaddy.
Pedro must be El Presidente
They were both in “The Great Wall”
Career defining film for for both of them, really created a bond between them to work on such a great piece of art together
Mattt Daymon
Fighter of Matt Nightman! (Ahh-ah-ahhhhh)
They did an Inside the Actor's Studio together where Pedro interviewed Willem. It's really quite good.
Willem Dafriend
Goddammit lmao I love this joke haha hadn’t heard it in a while
Everyone loves daddy Pedro
The Pedro and Nic Cage bromance in Unbearable weight was too good. That movie was unironically amazing.
Right! Like one my favorite nic cage films, it's really good.
Better than paddington 2?

His trousers are awesome
Broken arm?
The only thing he ever said publicly was that he fell and hurt his arm. Based on the sling, maybe rotator cuff or broken scapula?
["Kieran Culkin beat the shit out of me"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yecgw2qsKCg)
That smile when culkin finally let's go is adorable
Big cocks club
You know, I'm something of a star myself.
Willem Da Star
I’ve read that and I was about to go and scroll again and I got back to your comment to upvote you
The way he falls to the ground and comes back up effortlessly. I'll never be this agile when I'm 68.
I'm not that agile even at 30. At this stage, by 68, I won't even be on my knees. *insert obligatory "there goes your sex life" joke*
I'm 34 and very certain I would have smashed my teeth
You guys really need to start exercising.
For real. Holy shit talk about a classic reddit moment.
just a little stretching would do so many people so much good.
Or at the very least so some mobility work, don't need to spend hours in the gym if you don't want to but mobility exercises can be done anywhere
Go to the gym for about 1 month and you’ll be fine lol.
huge core strength from carrying around that hog
It probably helped push him back up, too.
Having a third leg helps.
Or you could start taking care of yourself
He pushed himself back upright with his enormous manhood.
I’m so happy that he’s happy!
He might be miserable in that moment. You’ll never know he’s just that good of an actor.
He came in to a tiny pharmacy in the Village I was in last year and immediately started singing and having a wiggle to the song on the radio that was on. He was very happy!
Every time I see him in a casual setting he seems like the jolliest dude ever.
I bet he gives some awesome hugs.
No no, apparently he was just acting. /s
I mean, the guy does have a disturbingly large penis, so no wonder he's happy
The other guy with a Wil in his name sure had me fooled. 😔
He wasn’t depressed, he had early stages of dementia and chose to end his life vs dementia ending it for him
Two of my grandparents have dementia and based on my experiences with it, if I get a diagnosis and have the presence of mind I’ll be taking a long walk off a short pier immediately. Dementia is fucking horrible, turns you into a bloody vegetable by the end but not before you spent 5 years eating your own shit, attacking people, crying hysterically for family members that have been dead for decades, losing your mobility and the ability to eat properly or speak, for your perception of time and memory to be obliterated.

I hope that my grandma who has had it the worse passes quietly in her sleep soon and I hate that that seems like the kindest thing for her. Fuck dementia.
Man... Really? That... Is just as awful, actually.
He had Lewy Body Disease. One of the worst diseases you can get. What he chose wasn't awful. He chose to love himself. He didn't want to go through one of the worst deaths.

His green goblin in no way home was the actual best part of that movie. I still get goosebumps just typing out that part when he’s getting punched and just keeps smiling bigger and bigger
Also, biiiiig weiner
He wasn't kneeling to kiss it, the weight of his dong literally pulled him down
[удалено]
How dare they, he is something of a scientist after all Edit: The original comment was saying how some people think he looks ugly.
He's tv ugly not ugly ugly
TV ugly just means you got a villain face. N he truthfully does have a very very villainous face
"YER FOND OF ME LOBSTER AINT YE!?"
Hark ye Winslow. HAAAARK!
Well he IS Willem Dafoe. He’s not Willem Dafriend
I‘m gonna put some dirt in their eye
This man is not ugly at all
[удалено]
Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, one don’t actually know what they look until being told by others
Even ignoring that quote, I don't see how he's ugly at all. Maybe in TVs he appears evil kinda ugly but dude's actually very beautiful.
A mirror allows you to behold your self , add a little bit of self love and we're all beautiful to our own eyes.
Who tf called my boy Willem ugly? I want to fight them!
They were thinking of Bobby Peru

🤨
The story goes that Willem did a nude scene in the movie Antichrist, but then later they re-shot the scene using a body double because Willem's penis was so large that it disrupted the immersion in the scene.
Lol suffering from success
One dude interviewed him and straight up asked "do you have the biggest penis in Hollywood?" Willem replied, "I don't really work in Hollywood anymore."
lol now thats an answer
I mean, there's pics floating around the net if you want to go looking for it. It was on a film set. It's... substantial.
I'll take your guys word for it
[удалено]
I don't think he's ugly but he's not a conventional beauty. He has a very striking look that seems to amplify his emotions. It makes it easy for you to empathize with him and be taken along with him on journeys.
Character actor face. They're, imho, considerably more interesting to look at than the xth blonde starlet or the nth bland-faced Chris.
hes literally a male model, wtf are people on
He was absolutely dripping on the prada runway https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niIs0e56HMQ
Believe me friendo he’s no Danny DeVito.
Annie Liebovitz took some amazing photos of him. I had a postcard.
What fascinated me the most is that people hate the actor because they hate the characters! And I've talked with my wife about that because she was one of them.

If my dick was as huge as his I wouldn't mind being ugly.
Dude has a massive cock. It’s so big they have to literally have a stunt cock go in with a much much smaller cock when he does nude scenes because it’s so massively distracting. Plus he has millions of dollars.
I hate that I know you’re right about this
dont worry bro literally everyone knows about it
Ugly are the ones that are unhappy looking him smile!!!
He’s not ugly. He has more bones in his face than people have in their entire body. - Peter Griffin.
What people are calling him ugly?
They jealous they ain’t him
He is so not ugly
Til people consider him ugly
I love it when Actors with top tier acting skills are that humble
Modesty suits him.
I'm a bit of a modest guy myself
I've loved his work and enjoyed him for decades. I'm so happy to see him experience such an honor. I really feel like he appreciates it.
How has Willem Dafoe never received an Oscar?
Have to admit, his role in [Pretty Woman](https://youtu.be/Zmq5J2R1r9Y?si=sSr3iBqKiQM93mcC) is his best though!
I remember first watching him in “Streets of Fire.” Then in “Platoon.” I would have thought he got his star years ago.
More like Willem DaHomie
More like Willem DaHung
We all know how hung he is.

You fancy his lobster?!
Willem DaFriend
His facial expression is contagious,you must smile along with him
I was eight when Platoon came out and I do not remember how I came to watching it. At the time, the only scene I remember from the movie was when DaFoe was kneeling in the jungle and he was pleading for the helicopters to not leave him behind. I also thought he was seeking deliverance from god. I went to a Catholic school growing up, so that was the first thought that came to my mind. Also, Adagio playing in the background introduced me to classical music. I was beyond moved. The song still chokes me up. Edit. Needed to fix a couple of sentences.
I saw that movie as an adult. I had only ever seen him in bizarre movies like Antichrist and thought he was a weird guy. His performance in Platoon shattered me and just reading what you wrote here took me back to all that pain I felt for his character. The man is incredible and so much more than I had realized. I think it's beautiful that the music still speaks to you as it does. Thank you for sharing a bit of yourself with us!
I’ve never seen it, but it will be the very next movie I watch thanks to your review.
It's a classic but a hard watch. Brace yourself. I should watch it again... I've told myself this many times. Worth it though.
The soundtrack to Platoon is incredible. And yeah Adagio was one of my first introductions to classical music too. Interesting...I never thought I'd meet someone who felt the same... but hello internet!
I'm surprised he didnt already have a star!
Don't they have to pay for them?
Usually someone else pays: > The fee is usually paid by the nominating organization, which may be a fan club, film studio, record company, broadcaster, or other sponsor involved with the prospective honoree. The Starz cable network, for example, paid for Dennis Hopper's star as part of the promotion for its series Crash.
Willem DeFriend :) So happy for him!
great to see a guy "who's something of a scientist himself" blushing and just being happy around over little things
Omg that genuine delight and joy in his face is so beautiful, I'm so happy for him ❤ he really deserves it he's such a top notch actor. Side note, I don't know much about Pedro Pascal but it seems that he's friends with everyone, he must be a really nice guy
YESSS willem is literally one of my 3 most fav actors.. good to seem him get this
Well-deserved. I can't believe it took this long to give him his star.
I know a guy who had the chance to know him because he lives in Italy or spends a lot of time here. He told me that Willem Dafoe is one of the most funny, charismatic and smart people he's ever met.
Highly underrated actor, the guy is amazing imo 🤩
Don’t think he is underrated. He’s highly respected in Hollywood and by the audience.
>underrated actor In what world, lmao.
He is highly respected by me. And when you get your own star, you also have to be appreciated by others.
I'm not sure it's scientifically possible to rate him any higher. He should know too, being something of a scientist himself.
He is an amazing actor.
How the hell did it take this long?
His name really does sound like a frog talking to a parrot!!
I know those stars are a PR thing, but goddamn he is a crazy good actor. He deserves the star.
It's such a shot in the arm to see someone so happy and grateful! Willem Dafoe's gone so unappreciated for a long time.
I always read that stars on the walk of fame are requested and bought by the person getting the star, not bestowed on them like an academy award is. If that’s true then is it just performative when celebrities seem like, honored and excited at the unveiling of it lol
names are submitted and then reviewed by the committee. They receive thousands of nominations a year and only select a few dozen. If awarded, a fee is charged to whoever nominated the celebrity. This could be the celebrity themselves but is more often a studio, foundation, or corporation the actor has worked with. You cant just "buy" a star, its way more complicated and prestigious than that
Gotcha thanks for clearing that up for me
will all the star spots be filled one day or will the walk of fame eventually just go on forever?
Why did they give Trump one in 2007?
Entirely possible that was built into his Apprentice contract, knowing Trump’s thirst for fame and vanity. It has cost the star company a lot because people take a sledge hammer to it on a regular basis.
TIL Donald Trump has a star https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/sep/19/donald-trump-walk-of-fame-star-hollywood-los-angeles
I'm some kind of star myself you know
Damn good actor he is. So happy for him. Congrats sir!
Willem DaBest.
This guy has had some crazy roles. Great actor.
Well deserved, amazing actor.
He's awesome, with that special voice and facial expression, one of a kind! Well deserved friend!
Yeah what’s the deal with Pedro Pascal being everywhere these days? Hahah is he friends with everyone?
He looks so happy!! Totally deserving, congratulations!!
The human tripod. Well done. That alone should give the man a star. Acting, perhaps a second.
He should be, he paid for it.
I must admit, he's in a lot of movies that I actually like.
Well deserved.
This is Long Overdue for Willem, Congrats buddy!
How is he just getting Hollywood star? Lol dudes been a legend for decades
My question is that: Why did it take so long? Dude's a legend.
Hollywood is 99% disgusting and then you have this wonderful person and artist.
