I read on your Twitter, speaking of looking elegant, somebody tweeted that you look like Bradley Cooper.
No, sorry.
Bradley Cooper looks like you.
And you responded by saying you are the unwashed version of Bradley Cooper.
Yes.
I would say that's pretty accurate.
Do you think it's accurate?

It's a very nice compliment saying I look like Bradley Cooper because he was the sexiest man alive last year.
He was, wasn't he?
One of the 50 most beautiful people in the world.
So do you get mistaken?
Do you ever get asked to give autographs and it's they don't know if it's Jamie or Bradley or
I haven't had that yet, but a couple people thought did say that they love me in Can't Hardly Wait.
And I said that's Seth Green.

Oh, they do, really?

I've done all of it.
Every odd job you can do.
So what's the first?
I I I've had I can name them down.
I had 36 really bad jobs.
Wow.
Red Lobster, all the fast food chains, Pizza Hut, Domino's.
You mean you ate a lot of it?
I did.
What was like the worst?
I was a massage therapist assistant.
So like
Why would that be bad?
Cuz I just I have to like clean up the room after the person was done.
It wasn't that type of massage.
Oh, you didn't get to actually touch.
You just had to clean up.
No, I had to like she's like oil and like here.
Did I hear you got frisked at the airport on the way over here?
Oh, god.
Billy Bush.
Billy Bush takes a picture of me.
Yeah.
And like tells I'm sitting there and all I hear is Pat him down.
And I look and it's Billy Bush and TSA is looking at me.
And next thing I know, they're going through my stuff and Billy's like, "Ah, got you."
So did you get frisked, though?
Yeah, but they were gentle.
