"Jimmy Messi" ??

Hey hey everyone!

Hope all is well.

I haven't posted much in a couple of weeks, and today is the perfect day to do that. I was recently on set of the show, "The Client List" starring "Jeniffer Love Hewitt".
It was a great time on set and I met a bunch of terrific people.
While on set, someone said to me.. "Hey you look like Messi". I thought to myself for a second and responded with.. "what"?
He again said "You look like Messi". At this point, I'm think he is saying that I look like a mess and maybe like I needed a shower or something. I thought to myself, "well that's just plain rude". Just when I had that thought, he said.. "Did anyone every tell you that? You look just like him".
Then I realized he meant I looked like someone named Messi, haha. He informed me that Lionel Messi is a soccer player, and not just any soccer player, but the highest paid soccer player and arguably the best. Now to be quite honest. I never was a soccer fan... or should I say futbol fan.

So I decided to look this fellow up, and to my surprise.. He kind of does. I really never admit someone looks like me, when someone tells me that "someone looks like me".. but oddly enough he does. My friends and family do say that he has a much bigger nose than me though :)

Ironically, several other futbol fanatics, including a 7 year old boy have approached me to tell me the exact same thing.
The 7 year old boy was with his family and actually brought a picture of "Messi" up on his phone and said "This is you". The little boy was also wearing a Barcelona Jersey for that matter as well, haha. I laughed with his family and I said "come to my next game and I will give you all some tickets". He little boys face lit up and he said to his dad "Really, will he"!? His father informed him that I was just kidding.

I also must mention that no one has ever mentioned this funny similarity with Messi until now. I have only been in California for a year and a half, and they are definitely HUGE futbol fans out here.

So, because of this I think I might follow "futbol" a little closer now, and who knows... I might even buy the Fifa 2012 for 360.
This humorous situation also got me brain storming, and I am now in the works on a very funny spoof I will be creating about Lionel Messi. Where I will actually be playing Messi in a series of short films.

So without further ado, I give to you my somewhat similar reflection.

          THOUGHTS!!??

If anyone wants to come to one of my games, let me know. I'll get you some tickets :)


Til next time!
