Nathan Lane: “…And the bigger question is: Why was there a town hall meeting with Matthew McConaughey and Timothée Chalamet? I mean, who deemed this meeting of the minds necessary?”
Nathan Lane: “…And the bigger question is: Why was there a town hall meeting with Matthew McConaughey and Timothée Chalamet? I mean, who deemed this meeting of the minds necessary?”
“Oh, what a schmuck. You know, one doesn’t want to give this more attention than it deserves. And yet, and yet, it was kind of kaleidoscopic in its stupidity and insensitivity yet strangely telling about where we are in this country.
First of all, one should remember people will be going to see Swan Lake and La Traviata long after someone at a dinner party says, ‘Who was Timothée Chalamet?’ It’s the show business circle of life. And the bigger question is: Why was there a town hall meeting with Matthew McConaughey and Timothée Chalamet? I mean, who deemed this meeting of the minds necessary? Why isn’t there a town hall meeting with Democrats discussing how to get this lunatic out of the White House?
Then I realized, ‘Oh, he’s still promoting that movie, that endless ping-pong movie [Marty Supreme].’ And, you know, I got news for Timmy: If you think nobody cares about opera and ballet, I can’t tell you how much we don’t care about ping-pong.”
I’m thinking some weed was smoked before,[or] this may just be a tragic case of terribly unfunny people trying to be funny, which always ends in disaster.”

If Nathan Lane talked about me like that I think I’d have to leave the industry and move into a cave.

LOL, he’s so savage. On the grounds that this is probably very much in both his and the sub’s wheelhouse please enjoy [English National Ballet dancing William Forsythe’s “Playlist (EP): Track 2”](https://youtu.be/hLBpVsBpah0?si=Zg45ptny16tfw0oY) – which I booked to see twice (evening then matinee the next day) and enjoyed so much I went back to see again! Possibly the most fun I’ve ever had at the theatre!

“who deemed this meeting of the minds necessary?” What a glorious burn. I want to imprint it into my brain to use at a later date.

I swear he has one of the most iconic voices in Hollywood. I can hear him say this.

Just another reason to love Nathan Lane💙

the full quote is just a banger after a banger after a banger. though obviously chalamet and mcConaughey are free to talk about whatever and express whichever opinion they have, but the meeting of the minds line killed me
and he’s so right, I mean who knows maybe marty supreme becomes a classic, but where I’m from, stuff like swan lake, carmen, barber of seville, nutcracker etc regularly sell out for each show. I’m not saying 15-25 yr old kids are rushing to see the newest ballet in the national theatre, but a lot of others are, and the classics are genuinely anticipated each season

Nathan is right. Actors are usually not great minds. We shouldn’t be clamoring for them to pontificate on important subjects. They should be able to figure out genocide = bad, but beyond that I really don’t want to hear what’s festering in there.

Honestly? I was kind of thinking the same thing. It just felt so weird seeing Matthew trying to act like they have anything in common besides being actors and it seemed a bit forced.
