Uh, today... because Alexis is here. Uh-oh. We are reacting to a run here. On here. On here. I knew that was coming. And this one. Is this a music video or a trailer or a... No, it is the full story of Ranveer. Oh, really? Yep. Oh, that's great. Look at her. Ah, she's so happy. He talks in it. So here we go. I am Ranveer Singh. Yeah, you are. I feel incredibly blessed to be where I am today. Films are reviewed in India. So every young person in India wants to be a hero. You know, in India they don't call them actors. They call them heroes. And for somebody in my position, an outsider, it was near too impossible to actually get a foot into the Hindi film industry because you could only become a leading man if you had a familial connection or if you were the son of a producer or a director or you were a star kid. If you think about it realistically, I couldn't get there. Around the age of 15, I sort of abandoned my dream of becoming an actor and I pursued becoming a copywriter. I went to America to study advertising. I think in the second year, by chance I took an acting course. And on the first day, the instructor said, I don't want to know who you are, where you're from. I just want you to get up in front of the class and perform. And when I went up and I started reciting a famous monologue and it was in Hindi and nobody in the class understood Hindi, but I said it with a great deal of passion. So everybody was taking a back. And when I saw that I could perform and evoke an emotional reaction out of a viewing audience, it was beautiful. I felt that rush and I sat back in my seat and I said, why am I not doing this? I can accept failing, but I can't accept not crying. So I called my dad and I said, this is what I'm going to do. So he said, one condition, you complete your education so you'll have something to fall back on. So I finished my education and I came back and I was like, well, here I am. But how do I do this? I had no idea. I thought maybe I should get a job which takes me to an actual film set. At least I'll be closer to films. So I went to that set thinking maybe I'll be attracted to being a cameraman, a technician or an editor. We were shooting that day in an auditorium. I looked from right to left and all the work that goes into a production was going on. And then there was the mark of the actor and that superstar used to walk in with that kind of charismatic aura how he goes inside and he gets ready. He comes out, he's in character and then he goes and he performs and everybody loves it and he spreads cheer and happiness and I was like, there. That's where I need to be. So I tried to join a theater group. No theater group wanted me, but I used to make myself useful. I used to pull up chairs for people and find the actors. I saw every point that I became indispensable to that theater group. I used to put the set up, break the set down and put big trunks into the truck. I was basically the runner. And I remember sitting outside and they said, oh, you know what? There's a filming shot next door. And I was like, what am I doing here? So I had to make a calling card what they call the actor's portfolio, you know, headshots. I pulled a favor from my father's friend who had a printing press. I would go to his place in the middle of the night, take those pictures, make them myself. I used to steal numbers from people's phones to call film makers. I used to go from office to office, waiting for them all day, give my portfolio hope that I'd get a call back. I faced a lot of rejection, a lot of humiliation. It was a difficult period. I had dedicated my life to this and it just seemed like it would never happen. I don't know what was driving me. I think it was just self-belief. I believed that I was good. And one day I got a call and they said, it's for this audition. And they were actually looking for a new face. This is it. This is the day you've been waiting for. It's right there and you have to seize it. There is a Gurudwara on the way and I went to that Gurudwara and that audition went well. The biggest break that one could possibly imagine, I had just got. My legs gave way and I slumped down to my knees and I started bawling. My best friend's house, she was actually the one who got in the audition. And I showed her the script in my hand. I was like, look at this. I was like, you believe this? Went to the church and said, thank you. I forget that day. We celebrated, we danced and then I did the movie. It became a hit. There was just an avalanche of attention. They were like, who's this new guy? He's an amazing actor. And it was overnight. Friday the movie released on Monday I was famous. And the next thing you know, I find myself at an awards function receiving the best debut award from mega star. It was like a dream. When I'm on a film set, at least once a day I have some experience like some fan interaction or a moment on the film set. Or something happens almost every day. It gives me that same surreal feeling. Which makes me feel like I'm living a dream. I guess that's what you get for pursuing your passion. And being brave about it. Except for them looking for a new star. Oh yeah. It just doesn't happen in Hollywood anymore. Unless it's TV, they'll sometimes do it there. But in a film? It'll happen if somebody with the power to tell studios I want a new face can do it. Because that's the only time a studio is going to say okay. It used to happen all the time. So when a powerful director says I want a new face they get it with a studio. Not powerful directors get whoever the studio says they want when it comes to the heart of a lead in the film. They almost always want names, always. So what do you think? I love him. Not just because he's pretty. No, like most truly beautiful people. His beauty is because of who he is inside. And we saw it in his work. We've seen it in his work. The passion that comes out of that guy. And I've seen people, we've made comparisons to him and other actors and there's people who've said like for example, yeah, if you're having one role they would never go up for the same role. But Noazedin is of a completely different breed. But so is Daniel de Lewis. So it's not fair to take actors, no actor should be compared to Daniel. That's just, he's that rare. But don't discount them because they're not him. I would rather see an actor who may not have the breadth of scope of characterization and interpretation and believability that just draws me to them with that mystical way that Noazedin or Daniel de Lewis does. Give me a guy like that who loves what he's doing and is thankful for it and is humble and puts everything he's got into it. And like, if every actor were that way there'd be so less bad acting. Because you can take an actor that isn't very good but if they're passionate about getting better you may not like this reference. You know what I'm gonna reference? The Rock. The Rock. He's still a bad actor. Okay, but the guy came to it, Arnold Schwarzenegger is another example. No acting capability of any kind but the guy's Dwayne Johnson's motto is I'm the hardest worker in the room. And while I see flaws in his work he's getting better with each thing that he does. Yeah, but I could go to a computer software course or whatever and I could be the hardest worker in the room but I would still suck. True. However, you still need talent. You do. And there is a level of talent that's enough that I'm not comparing Ranveer to The Rock. I'm not talking about Ranveer. You all love Ranveer. And the thing about him that I love besides his humility and his thankfulness is the fact that the guy did what every actor ought to do. That's the first, like I had somebody recently say to me I want to get into acting, what should I do? Well, if you live here in LA, call Central Casting. Do a background work. Because you need to get acclimated to what it feels like on a set. You need to see it's a collaborative effort that is not just about the actors. And you need to know where you're going. You need to know where base camp is and where craft services is and you need to be aware of that and learn that and you need to pay your frickin' dues. And if you think you're above being a background actor if you think you're above being in a theater group and setting up chairs the fact that just to be in the theater and setting the set up and putting it just to be around it that's not an actor. He is definitely a nominally because he was talking about especially in India they have a huge problem with nepotism. Right. And so that's why... Much bigger than even here, yeah. Oh, yeah. And obviously it's here a lot too. Yeah, it's in every industry. Yeah, it's in every industry. You have to know somebody. It's just the nature of it. Yeah, it's in every industry. But yeah, he's like such an anomaly because it doesn't happen a lot. Him, Nawazidin's a huge anomaly. Right. He was working for 15 years before he became a name kind of like it was a Steve Corro kind of story. Right, exactly. And I just, I think this guy is grounded. I think this guy is humble and I think this guy is always going to be grateful. I mean, the freshness of his emotion was as if it just happened. And in fact, his emotion is probably even deeper now than it was the day he got the big role. Because the longer his career goes and the more celebrated he becomes and the more successes he gets he's going to become even more humble because he's going to think I just wanted to act. This is beyond anything I could have imagined. So I love him. Yeah, he's awesome. Just love him. Let us know what other Ranveer or other videos like this. Other videos like this, man. I'd love every single person we know from Indian film to do this. Nawazidin has one. That'd be great. I would love to know that man. Any of them. Yeah, this is great.
