I MET JARED LETO!
Posted: Aug 13th 1999, 7:15 pm
My friend and I were at Seattle Center on July 26, 1999. In front of the Center House in Seattle Center there was this sign that warned us we were entering a film-making area, so when we passed it I saw this REALLY hot guy. Amber points right at him while he's staring at her and she's like, "THAT'S JARED LETO!" Okay so I didn't have any idea who that was, turns out he starred in "My So-Called Life" and "Prefontaine" and "Urban Legend", but he was really cute so who cares. =) K then he and this blonde haired woman got in a cart to drive over to the fountain, and as they pass us they both turn around and wave at Amber, the woman being CAMERON DIAZ. Well now that was odd. Turns out he and her are an item right now, and she was just visiting, but when she left she waved to me so its all good. Anyways the two stars of the new movie they were filming, "A Leonard Cohen Afterworld" were Jared Leto (from "Urban Legend", "Prefontaine, "My So-Called Life", etc; here's a pic of him) http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Lot/3420/US3.JPG
and SELMA BLAIR from "Zoe, Duncan, Jack and Jane" and "Cruel Intentions". To make a very long story short, I ended up getting her and Jared's autographs, waved at Cameron Diaz, was on KISS 106.1 talking about Cameron's visit, got Michael Fredo's autograph, and got to watch a movie in the making all that day.
The next day we found out where they were filming and it was very cool too, Amber and I each got a pic with Selma Blair, she's really short compared to me! Jared said, "You already got a pic of me" so that means they actually remembered us so that was nifty. Then he grabbed the BSB keychain hanging out of Amber's pocket and said, "Got your Backstreet Boys keychain!" and Selma was like, "Backstreet's back, alright!" (ah, ya liked that, didn't cha?!?) Thought that was pretty funny...anyways I gave Selma a beanie baby and she signed for me again (this time not on the back of a 25% off coupon).
The day after that was their last day of filming downtown, how sad! And MAN we almost got to be extras!!! We had made friends with one of the production assistants (pretty cute actually hehe) and he asked us, "Are you guys gonna be here all day?" and he said a bunch of extras had just bailed on them...but then it turns out they had already filled up the spots! Ah! Not like we were ASKING for anything to be extras, like money, we just wanted to be in the movie! He even said he had tried once to get us in the background, but then a group of guys cut across the street at the same time so they cut that part out! Grrr...oh well I'm very happy I got to meet them and I just got my pics back recently. I have some very cool scanned pics.
