In a candid interview with Variety, Jack Black seemingly forgot that he was in — nay, starred in — the film, The Holiday, and his genuine, unsullied reaction is going to make your day.
In a candid interview with Variety, Jack Black seemingly forgot that he was in — nay, starred in — the film, The Holiday, and his genuine, unsullied reaction is going to make your day.
But this wasn't any ordinary interview.
This guy literally forgot that he was in — starred in, rather — The Holiday.
He's been in a lot of stuff over the years. I can't expect him to remember every single piece of work he's ever been apart of, on the fly.
I couldn't have asked for a better, unexpected, Jack Black moment.
It's a tale of two women (Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz), who have lived two very different walks of life, live in two separate continents, and by the powers of fate, cross paths.
Cameron Diaz's character falls in love with Jude Law's character (who wouldn't?), and Kate Winslet's character falls for Jack Black's character.
But, evidently, this particular role has fallen through the cracks of his entire body of work, leaving us with an exemplary instance in pop-culture interview history.
With very little hesitation, he responded: "It's gotta be Elf. Jon Favreau and Will Ferrell knock it out of the park."
Variety, however, complimented him for not choosing a film he was apart of, and stating something more impartial instead.
Jack gave us the most bonafide look of confusion.
I want this exact face printed on a t-shirt — or better yet, a Christmas sweater.
Jack, my dude, you've only been in one Christmas-related movie. It's in a league of its own.
I can practically hear this photo.
"Oh! The Holiday! Obviously. The Holiday. "
He then majestically — almost as if in slow motion — flipped his luscious locks and strutted away with the utmost sass.
Well played, Jack! I think he deserves a free pass on this one.
