Just Say No

This article cracked me up.

Rocker Jon Bon Jovi has vowed never to act again as he finds audition process too tough.

The singer has starred in films including 'Pay It Forward' and 'U-571', and made guest appearances on U.S. TV shows 'The West Wing', 'Sex and the City' and 'Ally McBeal'.

The 'It's my life' hit-maker was recently lined up to appear in cop drama 'Criminal Minds', but he turned the project down and instead his role went to another rocker, Gavin Rossdale.

Now the singer has decided that he won't be trying out for any more acting roles - because he finds the industry too grueling.

"What I hated was sitting in some waiting room to audition for some shit role that five other actors already turned down, and I walk in and he goes, 'You're too short.' Fuck off.

SO much made me laugh.

First, honestly, he didn't "star" in U-571. He got killed less than halfway through. Looked fanFREAKINGtastic in uniform, but hardly starred. Ditto "Pay It Forward". But hey, both those movies were better than "Pucked", in which he actually DID star....

I loved the quote attributed to him. I can just see him hearing some director telling him he's too short, and can totally hear his voice in my head giving that response. Gah, to be a fly on THAT wall...
