When life gets really difficult I find comfort in the fact that Jack Black is never ever going to grow up. Knowing he's out there rocking his sax-a-boom is balm to any hurting soul.

@user-vm6oz6wt5g 11 месяцев назад

I bartended one of his concerts and worked the VIP. He went up to every single guest and was one of the most professional and friendly celebrities I have ever met. He.made eye contact with me and seemed willing to say hi but I had to be professional bc we weren’t allowed to be schmoozy with talent/ celebrities. I’ve met a significant amount of them and I have to say he was the nicest. He deserves all the blessings and achievements he has.

Went to his concert in San Diego. As a professional musician, he put on as tight a program as any I’ve ever seen. Uncanny, really. A section of about 12 people around me and myself, laughed so hard that we were all crying in pain because we couldn’t stop laughing. Very scary. He (Jack) never once laughed the entire time or broke character. He had the energy of a triathlete. The voice of an opera star…..wish I were kidding. I still wonder which “lord” he bargained with 🤨.

@@TopicSet I was a little taken aback when he did "School of Rock" (for kids...right.) after "Pick of Destiny" album, where he talked about having someone leave a "Cleveland Steamer" on his chest, or all the "Hail Satan!!" chants, or "sometimes you just have to fuck her hard" yada yada.... jeez. Even the backdrop for his concert in San Diego appeared at first glance to be a bird or something... only to realize we were looking at a penis jutting thru the interior of a vagina... looking back, it seemed funny at the time, but way beyond vulgar now. I'm no Polly Purebred, but everything is a race to the bottom now.

Honestly over the years I feel like with jack black its less about "OH he's hilarious" it's more like He's who we wish we were - extroverted - talented etc. I feel like it's less about how funny he is nowadays and more like He's somebody you'd want in your life as you're best friend. Or as a cool older brother. In a world with fake persona and image in Hollywood jack black feels like a genuine human being

"just a bloke"? Not even close. Even if he had zero fame, dude has such a distinct vibe, unique charisma and natural humor that lights up everyone around him. He could be a nameless gas station attendant or custodian, and when he was at a party with thousands of people, regardless of the kind of event, anyone who came near him would notice him and anyone who talked with him would remember. Even if he was no name he'd never be no one.
