Tommy Wiseau – der Mann, der Regisseur, das Enigma (D.B. Cooper?). Der Disaster Artist gibt Reddit-Usern gerade ein Interview und seine Antworten sind voller Referenzen zu The Room und insgesamt einfach der Oberhammer, insbesondere weil sie genau so abgetippt werden, wie Tommy sie in seinem nicht zu entziffernden Akzent mündlich beantwortet.

Ein paar Beispiele:
Frage: So Tommy, how is your sex life?
Tommy: I enjoy it erryday!

Good to know!

Frage: Was Jonny truely her favourite customer?
Tommy: Yes.

Endlich Gewissheit!

Frage: Any news on the James Franco film of the making of The Room? Have you met with him? What do you think of that project?
Tommy: Aw, I support him 100% perfect. He is very cool guy. But at this time, we have agreement, I cannot talk about it. He is very dedicate actor. We have a lot in common James Dean for example. Next question!

Okay, okay!

Frage: How did you make your millions Tommy?
Tommy: Okay! That’s good question! Well first of all – if you look at background, you work hard, you make money. It’s no secret, okay? You work VERY hard, you make money. Well I work very hard, 24/7, several days a week, okay? And the specific how I make monies will be in book. THE DISASTER ARTIST by Tommy Wiseau, when I write it soon. Yes.

24/several. You heard it here first!

Frage: What was your favorite room when you were a kid?
Tommy: Mine was actually a little basement, actually. Hehehehe.

Das erklärt alles und nichts.

Frage: What’s your favorite James Cameron film?
Tommy: I’m – listening – THE ROOM, next question!

Cameron ist ein Gott, Tommy. Treib es nicht zu weit!

Frage: Tommy, what country were your born in?
Tommy: I was born on Planet Earth.
Moveonnextquestion.
And I’m American, and proud of it.

Ich wette 50€ auf Transsilvanien

Frage: Have you ever heard the speculation that you’re DB Cooper? If so, where did you hide the 727?
Tommy: Uh… neowww, but what people speculate is incorrect referencing. Not familiar with that. Looking right now, they are wrong, let’s put it that way.

Cooper oder nicht, Wiseau mag zwar ein komischer Kauz sein, aber er ist ein liebenswerter Typ, der einfach fasziniert. Ich empfehle den gesamten AMA-Thread durchzulesen, dort geht es dann u.a. um Prequels und Sequels (in 3D!) zu The Room und weitere Projekte. Godspeed, Tommy.
