Sometimes, too much advice can be wholly overwhelming.
Actor Robert Downey Jr. knows that feeling well.
In 1987’s “The Pick-Up Artist,” Downey Jr. and Molly Ringwald played love interests.
However, “The Pick-Up Artist” isn’t all lovey-dovey.
A big part of the plot is that Ringwald’s character owes a mobster money.
The film included enough romance for Downey Jr. and Ringwald to have to kiss as their characters.
Warren Beatty was on set and he was giving us a lot of direction about the kiss.
Downey Jr. gave a straightforward answer, and Beatty said it was incorrect.
Downey Jr. tried a new answer, “[Beatty] goes, ‘No, no.
You’re trying to get to work.
But you keep getting distracted, so your action keeps changing.’
He goes, ‘Nobody is gonna be inspired all the time.
It’s irresponsible not to.'”
However, in anE!
It was like, wow, so I’m that unattractive?
Thanks, Mol!'"
