Very cool

she looks like a young victoria coren mitchell

she nailed an audition, so what

so it got her the job? lol

yes....?

Well yeah, that's how acting works, so...she got hired?

uh yeah... exactly my point

omg this fucking thread
you guys aren't familiar with "so what" or what

Is this an "I beat Meryl" situation?

idk that reference... but yes.

In the First Wives Club Bette Middler holds up the Oscar belonging to Goldie Hawn's character and jokes that the inscription says, "I beat Meryl!". J.Law made a reference to it when she won a Golden Globe and people went super OTT with it, like she was disrespecting Meryl and thought she was better than her.

OHHH lmao, yes, I remember that actually!

but when ari does it everyone get the ref huh

I'm talking about J.Law, I block out everything the other person you mentioned says/does.

i know, i meant how people went in on jlaw but then a** went on about that movie and everyone loved it. jlaw was first lol

I wonder if this will be yet another kid of Paul’s that he has forgotten he has.

Damn we've come so far from people losing their sweet minds about Charlie and Bec from Blue Water High kissing on Home and Away. Yay, Australia becoming a little less shit more representation at a time.

good for her! she's very pretty.

she looks a lot like another youngish actress that I can't place right now. I think American? the eyebrow/eye area especially remind me of this other actress if anyone else can remember who I'm thinking of

She sort of reminds me of Haley Lu Richardson, I think.

I can see it but there's another actress, probably less successful than Richardson, that I'm thinking of. thanks though!

she kinda looks like a mix of ashley johnson, mackenzie davis and dakota johnson, but i also feel like there's someone she closely resembles and i can't imagine who it is right now.
