It’s very rare to see a child actor flee from Hollyweird to get a higher education. Those “don’t do drugs” campaigns must have seeped in. College was my opportunity to be around my peers, which you don’t get to do when you’re a child actor. And I wanted to be normal and see what else was out there, see what else I was good at. And there are some other things that I’m good at. Such as? I’m good at the sciences, I love learning about plants. You know, I’m a dork…it’s cool. I’ve come to terms with that and I dig it a little. A sexy botanist? Works for us, but nobody in Harvard stopped you in the halls? Sure, they did, but they also did that to the Latin scholars across the hallway and the number-one math student who was walking down the street. In Harvard, everybody was extraordinary in the town that they came from. When you get there, nobody is more extraordinary than anyone else. More extraordinary than seeing you get jacked up in the upcoming flick Hotel California? [Laughs] I do ge

Image
Paul Pierce, recently made a statement that made Millions of people draw a blank. Apparently the question was; Is Kobe really the best player in the world?

However, after listening to concerns expressed around specific executions, we have decided to drop them from the campaign to underline our ongoing commitment to supporting diversity in sport and the workplace. Nike has a strong record of support for diversity and is proud to have been honored with a 100 percent score over several consecutive years in the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s Corporate Equality Index ." Honestly i don't see anything about the ADs as Homophobic . I think people just want to have something to say.. You know
