You know I can’t tell you that. It’s confidential. So anyway, how’s your sex life?

You sound exactly like him, arrgh!

[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'm fed up with this world!

[-] Lizardon@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 year ago

He’s D.B. Cooper.

Once upon a time in Yugoslavia, a boy was born. Blessed with a voice and a mind, he fled The Troubles and went to America, reinventing himself under a new identity. The past was dead, never to be spoken of again. But the boy grew up and cryptically refused to give any indication that he even had a past prior to his American-self reinvention. Especially because to admit any true details about the past also involves admitting to details of the art heist that built his fortune. The End.

My honest guess would be the Balkans. He probably fled the area after the unrest and either doing horrible things (I hope not) or suffering horrible things. A fair number of people that survive and escape war zones never want to revisit that trauma and keep it quiet. I think this theory is also supported by his hedonistic attitude - just press forward and do shit, don't care what others think because it's a miracle you're still alive.

I assume some immigration officer knows the truth and confirmed he wasn't a war criminal, so if he wants to keep his past private, I'm totally fine with that.

This is my pet theory. If I remember correctly from The Disaster Artist, Tommy talked about escaping horrible things or something akin to that.

He's Polish, judging by the fact that he's doing his best to hide being Polish

1: who?

2: why is it an important thing to ask?

[-] charonn0@startrek.website 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Writer, director, producer, and star of the worst movie ever made.

His background, where he got his money, where he was born, etc. are not publicly known.

That's actually a perfect Long Island accent, most people you see on TV are just doing it wrong. My guess is that he's a Fire Island native.

I hate when I have to upvote outrageous comment(ary)

[-] eezeebee@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

I also recall hearing that he was Polish. No, I don't have a source.

Looking at the name it sounds like he's French

[-] AmberPrince@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

It's a name he adopted while living in Paris, according to Greg Sestero.

[-] moody@lemmings.world 2 points 1 year ago

The letter W is not very common in French.

[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Its a purposeful misspelling of "OUIseaux" which is bird en français

[-] moody@lemmings.world 1 points 1 year ago

Then it's a purposeful mispronunciation as well, because it starts with a "wa" sound.

[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

No like the oi dipthong makes the "wuh" like how a stoner slowly says "whuhhhht"

[-] moody@lemmings.world 1 points 1 year ago

No, it doesn't. French is my first language. The closest approximation of the word "oiseau" in English would be "wazo."

[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Im just saying oi can make the w sound. I don't think there's truly a conflict in what is being said.

[-] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

It’s a misspelling of the French word for bird.
