Famous People pt 2

The second famous person I met the following day is Bradley Cooper. He acted in the movie The Hangover, and played the character face man in the movie the A-Team. ISA was invited to join this program El hormiguero. It is a Spanish host interview famous singers and actors. Jackie Chan, Will Smith and Kylie Minogue were in previous episodes. Today they have invited Bradley Cooper as their guest for the talk show. We had to be in front of the station by 6.30pm. Around 6.45pm they lead us into this tunnel and we waited for another 10 minutes. I was exhausted from all the waiting and by the time they let us into the set I was drained out and just wanted to get done with the show and go back for dinner. We were not allowed to take photos and therefore, I do not have any photos of the event. We waited for another 15 minutes before Bradley came on to the show. While he was still in his dressing room, the camera crew were testing out their camera and giving the audience the chance to get use to being on tv. This is definitely not my first time on tv, so when one of the camera was recording me, I winked at the camera flirtatiously and blew kisses to the camera. Hahahaha… that made everybody in the audience laugh because they did not expect somebody to do such a thing on national telelvision.

Bradley finally came onto the set and the Spanish girls went while shouting “Guapo! Guapo! (Handsome! Handsome!)” hahaha they really gave me a whole new perspective of cat calling. I thought only guys do that, but I guess apparently the girls are even more aggressive than the guys. The funny thing about these talk shows is that while they were interviewing Bradley, the audiences were supposed to react to comments during the talk show. Most of the time is just clapping and cheering. I could sense that the crowd was excited but was exhausted and slightly lifeless. Everybody tried their best to have fun and cheered on. When the recording of the live talk show was over, the producers started playing music to capture some shots of the audience while having the DJ play some fun and catchy song. Nobody was really moving except me (the usual) and I know that I definitely stick out like a sore thumb because everybody was somewhat stiff except me who was moving my body and trying to enjoy music. The producer pointed at me and told me to stand up, waving his hands while calling me “Japones, Japones” I stood up and starting dancing as if I was in the club and I got everybody clap their hands and have fun together with me while dance to the music. By the end of the song, everybody was even more pumped up than when Bradley just walked in.

I am very sure that I made the entire recording much more interesting and fun. When I was done with the dancing, the producer thanked me over the microphone and asked everybody to give me a round of applause while still referring me as Japones. Hahahaha Leticia from ISA told him that I was not from Japan and that I was from Malaysia. It was extremely kind of him to apologize and asked the crowd once again to give me the Malaysian another round of applause. One of the people from the program stopped me and asked if whether do I know Spanish, I pointed to Leticia and said that she was my translator. Acting like a movie star… hahahaha She took Leticia’s number and said that if I am ever interested in attending some other program, they would be more than happy to give me an invitation. Wow.. that is definitely a compliment. A group of teenagers was so excited that they wanted to have a photo with me. I guess I am competing with the big dogs now like Bradley Cooper. Hahahahaha.. It was definitely a fun experience and it felt good to be in the center of attention once again on national television after a long break from Malaysian Idol.
