Fluffy Goes Hollywood | Gabriel Iglesias

after i performed in the middle east i had one of the longest flights of my life coming home it's probably about 26 hour trip okay we left out of kuwait and we had about four stops it was long when i got home i was so tired i turned on my phone to check my messages and i had a voicemail message from a guy by the name of channing tatum now for those of you not worrying let me explain who that is channing tatum is the new hollywood hot guy he's the guy that comes out on all these movies really good looking ripped you know he's making a lot of films and there's a voicemail on there from him gabriela glaciers this is channing tatum please call me at your earliest convenience blah blah blah blah blah you know and i'm like oh okay so i called him up hello i go hi this is gabriel iglesias i'm calling for mr channing tatum he yells fluffy hello oh dude man i'm a huge fan hey listen bro really quick i only had like a minute look bro i'm doing a new movie and i want to see if you're interested in reading and auditioning for one of the parts i go i go sure bro i'd be happy to audition for for uh you know for your movie what's it called because the movie is called magic mike i was like okay magic mike so you need a magician you need an assistant you want to saw me in half what's gonna happen actually bro the movie has nothing to do with magic it's actually a movie about male strippers i said male strippers he goes yeah male strippers i say you do know that this is gabriel iglesias right because you're funny bro listen we've already got the dancers but we need somebody to play the dj at the club will you audition for the part i said you know what bro i'll be there okay and just to let you guys know because some people have asked me in the past how come you're not in more movies because you have to audition and i don't like auditions because they treat you like crap auditions are very cold and very just they make you feel like they seriously do you work really hard to memorize all your lines and you show up and you try to do your thing and they cut you off really quick you're in there and you're like um okay so who am i hold on okay oh hold on hey how's it going don't talk to him all right no problem okay are you ready yes i'm ready um quick question how much energy do you want you don't know that's why i'm asking and when you're done you try to ask more questions like is this okay would you like me to go again thank you they i've had my the fingers this so many times and it hurts thank you thank you thank you and you're sitting in your car and you're crying they don't like me it's a terrible feeling so i don't like putting myself through that but since i got a phone call from the guy i'm like all right i hope it's a little bit different so i show up to the audition i'm sitting in the lobby and it's funny because anytime there's an audition everybody at the audition usually they're looking for a specific type and so everybody that's sitting there with me looks just like me everybody in there is big everybody's sitting there everybody's all happy and jolly and stuff we're all looking at each other trying to outdo each other like no i look more like me than you do you don't look like me no this is what they don't know this is what they want you know so the receptionist looks at me she goes mr iglesias they'll see you now and i'm like okay cool here we go let's see how this goes so i start mentally preparing myself for the you know the problems that happen in there i walk in i don't say anything to anyone i walk in there's three people in the room i close the door and i just look over at the casting person who's sitting on her desk and hello and her the camera person and the person i'm reading with all jumped up and yelled fluffy and they ran over to me and they started hugging me and pulling out camera phones now i'm taking pictures with them next thing you know they call the receptionist judy get in here and girl comes in now i'm taking pictures with four women we're going back and forth i'm like this is different you know and i go wow you know this is very refreshing thank you i said who am i reading my part with and the casting person says this is a formality they've always wanted you for the part and they said if you showed up it's yours so basically we've already called your agent since you showed up really yeah this is great so i i get to my car my agent is blowing up my phone right and i answer the phone and go hello he's like dude you nailed that audition what did you do i was like dude i took pictures way to take those pictures bro next thing i know i'm on the set of the movie magic mike the movie is directed by a director named steven soderbergh who's an amazing amazing director he's done a lot of great films and of course channing tatum's in the movie in addition to him there's an actor by the name of matthew mcconaughey who's attached to the movie i'm a huge fan of matthew mcconaughey okay when i found out i was going to work with him i was so excited you know when people say really you get excited you get star struck hell yeah i'm a comedian not an actor so i show up and immediately they send me to the makeup trailer that's parked outside so i go inside the makeup trailer i sit down they start working on my hair they start putting makeup on me and in comes matthew mcconaughey and he sits down in the chair next to me and i start freaking out i'm like oh my god and now i decided to introduce myself before i did or said something stupid right so i look over at him and i say excuse me mr mcconaughey how you doing my name is gabriel iglesias i'm going to be playing the part of tobias the club dj and i just wanted to say hello and it's an honor to work with you and in my head i'm like i hope he's the same guy i hope he's the same person from the movies i hope his voice is the same i hope his accent's the same and he looks at me and he says all right how you doing there big man you doing good i'm doing good all right and i'm spazzing out they pull mass out of the trailer and they take me under the set and uh the majority of the shots in the movie magic mic are shot inside of a strip club okay it's on a stage and i'm very comfortable up here but the cool part for me is i'm on the side of the stage inside of a dj booth so i don't have any worries the director comes up to me he says listen gabe you got all your speaking roles in the film but in addition to that you are the key background in every shot when it comes to the dancers he goes the guy on stage is the eye candy but you're the guy that provides the ear candy and you need to express yourself and give me energy can you do that yes sir let's do this next thing i know all right everybody here we go quiet on the channel action all of a sudden the dancing [Music] dancer comes out camera starts panning just like that one right and all of a sudden i'm in my dj booth and i start djing it up right here [Applause] the director comes out from behind the camera crosses the stage and gets in my face that's what i'm talking about give me more okay okay all right here we go quiet on the center and action and i take off [Applause] the movie comes out i attend the screening of the film with my girlfriend at warner brothers studios we're sitting there and we're waiting for that part to come up and i tell her baby it's coming it's coming watch sure enough the camera starts panning and you see the dancer you can't even see his head all you see is his body all freaking ripped and moving and in the background in the dj booth you cannot see any of the dj equipment because it's all below the line of the camera all you see in the background is some chubby pervert in a box having the time of his life and my girlfriend's like oh you're gay i guess so and that was my hollywood debut right there and in addition to that there was a couple of other things that happened in this movie that i got to share because you're never going to hear about him in a dvd bonus feature one of the characters in the movie his name in the movie is big dick richie i'll leave it at that he's played by an actor named joe joe's a cool guy cool guy i met him out you know we became buddies after the movie and uh nice guy he's big he's ripped okay and his whole thing is he comes out on stage and he's dancing behind the silhouette so all you see is the shadow of him dancing for three minutes and after the third minute he grabs his g-string and this is how he finishes his performance he tears it off exposing a shadow of you know [Music] [Applause] now in real life joe does not possess it's more like you know don't laugh too hard that's most of us okay now because they needed to make this scene happen and we're shooting it in hollywood they made a phone call to an adult film company that was up the street and they got a hold of their props department and they said basically you know what we need is about 45 impressive male rubber parts to be brought down to the set of the movie magic mic so we can attach one of them to an actor for a scene it took maybe 30 minutes for some guy to show up with a big trunk on the set and you could just tell he did not belong and channing tatum saw him and he goes are you the guy and the guy and he brought him inside the house and he got all the actors around the kitchen table and he told the guy he says listen bro dump it out right here all of it and the guy opens up the trunk and he dumps out all of these big freaking you know it made a mountain and all the actors were just standing there just staring like oh yeah all of a sudden the 12 year old came out of all of us because we all grabbed one and started playing star wars just [Applause] [Applause] and that's something you're not going to hear about in the e true hollywood story or something like that another thing i got to share about this experience doing the movie magic mike is that uh we shot it in two locations we shot it in hollywood and we shot it in orlando orlando tampa florida and one of the scenes was shot on a sandbar which most of you know already is a little tiny island with nothing on it it looks real small and people go there and they party and so we get to this little island and uh this guy with the headphones his title is pa personal assistant's the director and he comes over and he tells us listen guys we're going to be here for a couple of hours if you need to use the facilities these are your options there's no plumbing here you can either go in the water or you can go to those bushes over there it's up to you and i'm like i'm fine i already went two hours no problem four hours later [Music] [Music] [Applause] what do you need listen bro you guys said we were only gonna be here for like two hours it's going on five my stomach is killing me what's the story we're gonna be here for like another three the director has some more shots oh you have your options thanks so the first thing i look at is the water okay and to put it into perspective for you guys the water is like right there okay and all the actors are like like like right there okay so it's like are you kidding me i'm not gonna go pop a squat in the water in front of all those actors just so somebody can walk by and go fluffy's killing fishes so i take a stroll out to the bushes right so i start walking out to the bushes my stomach is killing me and fortunately by the time i got there my stomach had settled so i no longer had to go number two but since i was there you know go make a rain you know say it so i'm in the bushes and i'm doing my thing and all of a sudden i start hearing noises and you know how you can just feel when somebody's standing like right next to you and i couldn't turn around because you know i was doing my thing all of a sudden i see a shadow a long shadow and it's coming in my direction and i see that and i'm like ha ha funny joe that's funny all of a sudden that shadow started to pee and i was like oh my god it's real now curiosity has me i gotta find out who the hell the owner so really quick i'm just like you know [Laughter] all right you
