Eminem的Stan MV中的Stan接受采访透露一些我们不知道的事情,他是真正的Stan
2018-12-14在Eminem的Stan MV中饰演Stan的加拿大演员Devon Sawa近日接受采访谈论“Stan”背后的故事。另外他当然是名副其实的Stan,他还说Eminem的Kamikaze是今年最棒的专辑。
下面是采访:
VICE: Now that ‘Stan’ just turned 18 in November, it’s basically a legal adult now. How do you look back on that role?
Devon Sawa: It’s one of the only projects I did that long ago that I still kind of brag about. Whenever somebody asks me what I’ve done, it’s still the one from back then that I’ll be like “Oh, I was in an Eminem video.” It was iconic, Dr. Dre directed it, Eminem was there and it was early days. I’m just so proud to say I played some small part of it.
You think it’s a small part? You’re Stan!
I’m the face of the video, but that song is such a great song, and it all came out of Eminem’s mind—he wrote it and Dre had the vision for the video and luckily they let me go crazy on that set, but yeah I’m fortunate to be a part of it.
You recently tweeted Eminemstill hasn’t called or wrote… do you get a lot of Stan stuff in your mentions?
I get “Can I keep you?” and I get Eminem references probably the most. At least every day I get some Eminem reference on Instagram or Twitter. And then of course I get Casper references—those are the only two projects that I have a lot less to do with than people give me credit for. Especially Casper—I was in that movie for like 45 seconds.
What do you think of the “stan” discourse, now that we all stan for legends on Twitter?
I love it, I joke about it. The problem with Twitter is there’s no sarcasm font on there. I’ve gotten into trouble by writing something that was clearly sarcastic, but people didn’t read it that way. I wrote I had no idea what “stan” meant, and I think Entertainment Tonight or somebody wrote a story that I didn’t even know what it meant, and that’s completely untrue. I’ve known what it meant since people started using it. My brother was the first one who sent me the article when it was added to the Oxford English dictionary.
It’s good that the word’s official now. Although I can’t say words like “lit” or “stan” or any of those and not feel like I’m an old dad. Like “I totally stan that movie?” Nah, it doesn’t work for me, I’m too old.
It’s December, which means it’s time for best-of-2018 lists. I wanna know who you stan in 2018. Let’s start with music?
This particular year, I mean Eminem’s new record coincidentally was phenomenal. I like anything Kendrick Lamar puts out, I liked Lil Wayne’s CD this year. I’m still into old hip-hop, all the greats—Nas, Biggie, Pac, Jay Z, KRS-One. But I think Eminem’s is the greatest that came out this year. I might be biased, but I loved it.
Wow, so you really stan Eminem.
Oh yeah. When I did Stan, my agent who I’m still with to this very day advised against it. It was like “Eminem? C’mon Dev, I dunno about doing a music video.” Nobody was really on board with doing it on my team, and I was the only one who was like “Oh my god, this guy’s really, really good.” So I did it anyways.
I wanted to talk about the weird side of fandom, like maybe you’ve have some obsessed stans of your own?
You know, when I was in the Bop and Teen Beat magazines, that’s when things were the weirdest, but they were kind of innocent weird? Like, someone sent me a picture of my house, that they had taken outside from across the street. But it was probably most likely from a teenage girl who thought it wasn’t the worst thing to do. Just sending me weird things. I got a fairly large bra in the mail once and I guess she put a lock of her hair in as well, so when I took the bra out it was covered in hair.
This is probably an awkward time to confess that when you followed me back on Twitter, I told people about it. I even posted about it on Facebook. Is that weird?
No, I don’t think so, it doesn’t weird me out. It’s flattering (laughs) I’m kind of speechless.
OK (laughs). Cause I guess I could say I stan for you, if that’s not too embarrassing to admit.
No, that’s very sweet. Very flattering (laughs).
