How Lil Dicky Got BRAD PITT BACK On TV for 'Dave'

the last experience I have being on set with Brad Pit and like giving him Direction he's looking at me like I'm like a cone brother oh my God he took my breath away smells good smells good bet smells I have a bad sense of smell I'm not going to lie masine like kind of mus T I'm telling you first off when he walks on set everyone like their posture change everyone has such a sense of purpose even the men right oh especially the men wow so they know there's a pecking order and this guy couldn't be like nicer and not in like not in a way where it feels like he's like trying to be nice so like you say good things about him it just feels like that's his natural genuine like so down to earth so cool uh couldn't say enough good things about this man and hug him at all did you give him a huger oh yeah held him to is very in shape as [ __ ] like he's such good [ __ ] by the way tatted up in a way that t that's you didn't know this and like cool tattoo what like what I don't know like I don't know what they are I saw him in Fight Club but I was too busy looking at the V yeah the V were crazy really taking any T no get out of so he's just a badass badass guy he's cool like he was really like I would say the coolest guy I've ever met wait really yeah yeah look at his arm look at his arm that's a cool arm that that arm is cool as [ __ ] look at the he's got bracet he you know there's some people that like own their celebrity like they walk in a room they know all eyes are on them and they're comfortable with that I saw Hugh Jackman do that once like he just walked around he started introducing himself and he knows everybody in the room knows it's [ __ ] Wolverine yeah it's you and there are some people that you know what I mean they they like they pretend that they're not famous and they do that thing like hey you doing I'm H hey but I what are you going to do I feel like that's like like how could you not do that as a famous I don't know I would I would feel lame like if I was Drake and I like was had the attitude of like you all know who I am like but does he really need to be like hi I'm Aubrey to you I think so or what if he's just like Dave my man how are you brother I know you know who I am guess it's different if both of us have like if we're both famous and he's we've like been dming and you know what I mean but like if I'm just like a guy like a PA on set yeah I just think it's disingenuous is that the word to be like what's up man like good to see you like i' rather like him be like what's up like Drake like I don't know why I'm talking from the perspective of Drake embody thatp so he's in the uh so he's in the room so Pit's in the room first off the way I meet Brad Pit yeah how did this come together well no I met him on set I actually just cold emailed him what yeah really Reckless I wrote the entire let me just finish one thing first just know that when he actually came on set for the first time and I actually got to meet him for the first time which is the first place I ever met him was when he came on set of Dave we were shooting a scene where like she was like making a cast mold of my lower body so I had to meet this man naked covered in like slop like that's how I had to be like hey nice to meet you yeah anyways I knew power mov I basically I heard through the grapevine that and you never know how true any of this [ __ ] is but I just heard that like he was a fan of my show like a friend of mine took a meeting at his production company and like one of his Executives was like oh you know Brad loves Dave and my friend relayed that information to me like three years ago and I I stor I stored that piece you hear that information and are you is your first reaction like of course the guy's got taste Brad Pit or are you like oh my God Brad Pit listens to me uh honest reaction my honest reaction is a combination of of course but also like I don't know how true this information is yeah not I'm never I'm not surprised it's more just I don't know how true this through the great mind information is he should feel this way if he sees it I imagine he would feel this way that's how I feel I love that I love that um but anyway so we're writing I you know one thing I really proud myself on with the show is every season we end it in like such a way where I think we make like the best season finales possible and unfortunately or fortunately like we just constantly raise the bar so like this season I was like how are we going to beat what we did for the and I was like well I had stored this piece of information about Brad Pit like maybe we go after Brad Pit to the point where like we were started writing we wrote the whole episode before hitting them before even talking to him all my writer room was like they were like that's crazy like you don't even know Brad Pit and I was like I know but like I just feel like if we come with the right idea he'll why why wouldn't he do it I don't know everyone was like all right same thing with Rachel McAdams same thing with Drake like at least Drake I met and he was like yeah I love your show and I had face tof face confirmation that it was real with Rachel and Brad I just heard through the grap Vine and I wrote them like and this is not like a random celebrity Cameo where like you see him in a club and they're like what's up Dave and like it's really like the entire plot Arc of the whole season was like resting on Rachel McAdams Brad Pit and Dre okay uh and I didn't know really any of them that well uh I barely knew Drake did not know Rachel or Brad wrote the whole episode got Brad's email from uh from an an executive producer of the show named Marty Bowen who who knows Brad's manager okay got his email and I just got to work on drafting that email what's my email like the words of it I couldn't even I me it's long no no no your like what is what is he seeing in his your name in your email is it Li's Dicky my email I don't want to give it out I'll tell you afterwards can we believe it I guess yeah just go no there's no [ __ ] way he went like this I know that they that's your play your okay so that's the email that Brad sees and and I and he [ __ ] opens it he opens it and I write I write this long ass like well-written like email about you got to have it give it Bust It Up just give us some phone in the other room get I I honestly it's not that easy to access like I've tried it's like my phone like does a thing where it only saves like 3 months worth of [ __ ] like I could probably get it but it would take too long and I really don't I want to leave it between me and Brad I don't have you know what I mean Brad yeah you can't you can't viate Brad's trust I didn't say we got to hear the response it's not for you bro it's not your opening line is everything in the email right do you remember the opening line to whom it make or like dear Brad it's definitely dear Brad cuz I know that he his response was dearest Dave I love that um and basically I wrote this long thing that I like edited all week like sent to my writers like was like what do you think of this draft they were like well maybe like we take this sentence out like like we literally like worked on this EMA stead of writing the you have to you have to it's the most important we're like this is like we're like shooting episode eight like like deep like this episode shoots in like 10 like in like two week you know what I mean like we're like running out of time and I'm like pushing it off cuz I'm just like scared to face the reality of like you know the highrisk procedure I've taken and then like he like a few days later he responded not in the same thread started a new thread wow uh and that's big I like didn't it was I I like I it's hard to explain but like I actually didn't understand that it was his email in response back for like 12 hours I read this email I kind of thought it was like junk or something like it's it didn't cuz he didn't it was really vague I assume his email is not his name it's not Brad Brad pit.com so yeah I can see how you're just like it was hard to explain but his email was like really short and sweet and like B like not bizarre in a bad way like it was like iconic it was like so it was weird but like having not he didn't like sign it Brad Pit he signed it BP and I just wasn't thinking so when does it hit you it hit me like like I saw in the morning but like in Middle production I'm doing all the things like you know making I'm I I'm so spread thin and then like I RIT it like lunch and I was like BP and then I was like wait a minute cuz I remember the subject line that's so hard the subject line wait a minute I don't even want to show yes say that [ __ ] my boy go go go go go it was it was it was hm hmmmm okay very cryptic also cryptic was cool it was really sick like reread it knowing it's Brad I'm like that's so cool like it's the coolest email I've ever I'm going to frame it I'm going to frame the email and put it on anyways and then even then I still didn't believe it was real so I'm like I'm hitting my agents like is this his email they're like uh we're confirming it is his email like they were like I think he's in he's down and then like on set it was like such a joy to be like guys like Brad Pit is in the finale that's unb but even then I still didn't believe it would really yeah yeah cuz dat's got to line up and [ __ ] dat's got to line up it's like at any point did you have to move everything around to fit his window or uh we shifted a few things yeah um but it it man we by the way this guy couldn't be more professional like I design the shoot in a way to where like if he want like it was long demanding days like we shot it was like like an hourlong episode that we only had Brad for like he gave us four full days and like we're talking like we're talking like overnight like we're starting shooting at like 9 P p.m. and going to like 6:00 a.m. what would that be fee wise Dove four days with Brad Pit can name whatever price he wants he's doing it cuz he wants to oh no of course he's doing the show Millions like an a star this doesn't happen episode of TV is like or something like friends yeah was is 30 years ago wow yeah that was a great episode I got to say the most validating moment of my life like prior to that it was when LeBron James reached out to me and dm' me about being a fan of the show but like working with BR and it's a shame that I live my life like just trying to impress LeBron James and Brad Pit and that's how I find the peace and satisfaction it's not that most of us do yeah most of let's be honest yeah but what like him coming and then when he finally show up on set and I was like this is real and I get like I said like like shooting scenes like you know you shoot his coverage my coverage we always started with his coverage and I got the body double with the exact body type and I'm like Brad like if you want to go home and rest up like we can use this other man's shoulder very easily he was like never in a million years would I do that he was like that's not how it should be so so so real quick just for everybody at home explain like when you're shooting a show when you're shooting a show yeah so let's say I'm here and Brad is like here so if the camera's on Dave yeah sometimes you can do things called Cross coverage which is there's a camera here and a camera here at the same time that's really good for like improv and stuff but it's not as good aesthetically you can't like light things as particularly to do it that way so you're better off aesthetically shooting one side at a time so I would always start shooting Brad's side of course so that way he could leave after leave we got a body double cuz when we're shooting over Brad onto me all we need is his like flannel shirt and shoulder and we had a man for that and but he was like no sir like he wanted me to feel's energy when I'm giving my performance and honestly it is true like he that is the right thing to do and those nerves are going to be coursing through your veins you're talk going a [ __ ] Brad Pit and that's the vibe of like the reality of the scenes we're shooting is that like I am enamored with Brad Pit so it will be easier for me to feel enamored but it's an extra like it's not 30 minutes it's like8 hours or whatever extra that he's standing there doing that I assume right yeah it's like four four hours and it's like in the dead of the middle of the night he he's got to come back the next day and like and he man talk about a trooper didn't complain once like was just a joy like a true Joy that's amazing yeah I think it's and I think it's smart for the super super aless guys also to do cultural shows meaning like when I say a cultural show I mean like it it has the culture people are talking about it because it makes them look cool too right like how likable is Brad Pit that he's a fan of the same show that you were a fan of right and then he's part of it and you know he doesn't need the money he's just doing it to be a cool guy got that much money like I think that like TVs pay you got to like legally give them something yeah like it's not even like it's pretty surprising how low you know TV pay can be for even big-time actors he didn't do it for the money he did it because he loves the show and I'm so proud of that episode and uh forever grateful to Brad for changing my life now if you get Brad did you have a backup guy you could reach out to uh I definitely had but it wouldn't have been the same and who who who was it there was no real backup to Brad to be honest with you like I had people in my mind but like it just didn't feel yeah yeah there's somebody just tell him as Ben Affleck no it wasn't I love Ben I tried to get Ben Affleck in the Met gal episode and he like the schedule he was almost in he yeah he was I had a great thing for V Affleck in that and

Square now let's get back to this episode with Little Dicky were there any lines you wrote or even scenes from the show that you're like yo this can't go in this is too crazy like this bar first off I looked back at that line was like what the hell was I thinking saying crazy thing to Wild have have like the Obamas reached out at all no but I regret saying that cuz I like you know I I first off I do believe that like when you're rapping like like the rap that I grew up on was like Eminem Who was saying like the wild H like hyperbole there's nothing literal happening like and it was really just an Ode to respect of like how great I think she is you know what was the whole line what was the whole line I said uh it's a bar what did I say was Googling it don't worry's right now I said like I forget the first part it was like in a year I'm a bend over Michelle Obama like I got to do it while I'm hot I'm trying to get blue in Most states like Barack which that's a good line that's a good line and look I honestly I just wanted you to wrap on the show at the beginning of my career unfortunately I was kind of like at a desperate like pathetic place of like I got to say some wild [ __ ] to like go viral to like get noticed to like have the opportunities I want which I don't think that's desperate or pathetic I don't know I look at it as a little low lwh hanging fruit Lo but I think at that point in your life you're just trying to get attention and you see the people you look up to you're looking up to imagine M and you're looking up to all these other rappers they're also doing it so you're like this is the genre I meant nothing by it all I can tell you is like I love the Obamas and like I have I have the biggest fear I have the biggest fear of like meeting them one day or like working with them and then being like what about that thing you have you met anybody that you had a bar about no not one person that you've you've wrapped about you've cross pathed with well no I I would not by the way I haven't wrapped negatively like even that even even saying that you are lusting over a woman and then you meet talking about how much I love Drake for a decade before I actually met Drake and then so what happens well then you know fortunately I met Drake uh and he knew about the show and loved it like I literally was at a bar and like literally I turned around he's got good taste and he's plugged in yeah yeah so it was just you know he was like you're just the man I want to see like I love your show so much I watch it all the time and I was like like I literally I was the but he didn't go high at Aubry he didn't need you're right I'll tell you I was the perfect combination of drunken High the moment I like kind of had that I was floating I looked unfair I couldn't have come I know I was coming off really good like you know what I mean like I was loose I was like waiting my whole like adult life for this moment but like I really was at the perfect like level of intoxicated to like handle it you know and like it was like a 10-minute conversation exchange numbers all my friends are at this bar with me they're like off to the side like he walks away I turn around I go like and then like I walk over to my friends and they were like what happened and I was like honestly I I don't even know I was like floating that's great that's amaz that's amazing have you have you flubbed a celebrity interaction like some of you met that you were so excited to meet that you were just like o not my best hm prob uh oh man oh uh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah give us that one Whatever whatever made you up we can believe it we can believe the name but tell us the story let me think about it for a [Laughter] second he's running the numbers bro you can see okay basically DJ khed okay who I was getting in my Freaky Friday music video yeah the way that we shot like a few moments at the end where it was like DJ K Ed Sheeran Kendall Jenner like I I was in Chris Brown's Body then I switched into like these other bodies for like 10 seconds so like we really were like loose and like how whatever their thing was going to be like what they said and like so I was going I was on my way to DJ C he agreed to be in the video to shoot and record his line that was TB determined so I had to I was going to pitch him on a number of things I'm on the way to his house and I'm texting my director of the video I'm being like look my dream version of what I would want him to do is be completely naked and be like I'm DJ khed like and like make some sort of Dick joke about like whatever we think like his dick is like and as soon as I sent the text to I realized I didn't send it to the director I sent it to DJ cow oh [ __ ] okay like as as I'm on the way to and I've never even met him so I'm meeting him right now and like no response I pull up to his house like I'm like oh my God like [ __ ] like i r the doorbell if he answers the door naked he's a legend and and and then and at that point so he answers the door yeah and and it's totally normal I'm thinking maybe he maybe he didn't even read read the text and I'm or or he did and doesn't care I don't know but he's acting very normal and at that point I was like I because of that botched interaction I bailed on the idea of even pitching anything envelope pushing to DJ Cal I was like let's play it safe and Pitch him I'm DJ khed why am I yelling which is like you know he when he gets song He's like DJ so I was like let's just pitch him something like that we get up to the studio he's like so what do you have in mind and I'm like what I'd love for you to do is be like I'm DJ Ked why am I yelling and he was like H what else you got and then I like thought he would just have accepted that pitch and the only other pitches I have were like dick like nude dick joke like related type [ __ ] and he was like H what else you got and I was like uh like well I was like we could we could like make a dick joke and he went a dick joke like he it felt as though he had never heard the term the term a dick joke keep going and I was like yeah like you know like like you know I'm a little Dicky like I make jokes about like my dick being small all the time he was like let's just do the first thing
