I loved seeing the human side of these people. It was inspiring.
Attending the show was great. I know George socially but I’ve never actually been to a live taping. This was the final show of his 8th season. Yesterday was a special friends & family presentation with the cast of Cosmopolis before they walked the red carpet at the Canadian première.
I should have taken a pen & paper because I forgot I wasn’t allowed to use my phone. NOTE TO SELF.
These actors made me think about myself, my career, my life. It’s really quite magnificent to be in the same room and hear them candidly speak about their lives, insecurities, and work. All photos by JJ Thompson. Thanks to the lovely Erin & CBC for sending right away.
He was watching a clip of himself from a movie with Reese Witherspoon where he played a very small part. Despite making millions, five twilight movies and dating K.Stew (who is on the cover of Vanity Fair July 2012), he’s lacks confidence, security. He was modest and slightly soft spoken.
He said he avoids the media because he doesn’t really know what to say and he isn’t that smart anyways. I imagined him to be more, more strong. He was undoubtly charming and his accent had my eyes light up with hearts like an old Loony Toons character. Tempted to rush the stage, I held back. Safe to saw, I was swooning.
The way Rob sat in his chair vs. David Cronenberg showed a lot about their characters. Cronenberg, a seasoned and incredible film maker, sat back in his chair, open body language, head held high while R.Patts was the opposite.
George asked David Cronenberg if anyone ever tells him “it should be done this way” or “do it like this”, he paused before answering and said “it’s been a long time before anyone told me what to do”.
Double swoon. The confidence he has in his work and artistic ability to create is insanely motivating and attractive, professionally.
Being weird is something I’ve really come to embrace and so has Paul Giamatti. Growing up I always had this artistic ability I couldn’t fight that lead me to be different, blaze trails and have ‘interesting’ fashion sense.
Giamatti is an excellent actor and I was surprised to hear him talk about having anxiety. He defined himself as being a bit weird and enjoys playing random characters that show up in movies playing a poignant role. Before shooting with Cronenberg & Pattinson he had some anxiety but is seems it’s a normal thing for him, any many actors to face when on a big project. You forget that the characters in moves are real people. Well, I do.
You will have a good chuckle hearing Giamatti talk about giving the US president a swift kick in the ass.
The special episode of GEORGE STROUMBOULOPOULOS TONIGHT will air on CBC on Thursday, June 7 at 11:05 p.m. (11:35 p.m. NT).
Be yourself, nobody will ever be a better you, than you.
Heyyyyy it’s Monday! Up early as today we start filming for CoralTV. My show is called THIS: The Hot Internet Show and it`s gonna be a mix of fashion, travel, lifestyle with a tech twist. You know how important technology is to my daily life, I`m practically a walking wifi with iPhone attached. So from ‘This is My Life’ on the blog for seven years to THIS on YouTube. I hope you’ll all tune in. It’s gonna be fun.
These photos are from Bloke & 4th with Lauren last week. It’s so nice to have a best friend. We had an awesome dance party at the Future of Art & Music event this weekend (FOAM).
This afernoon I’m heading to CBC for an in-studio exclusive, interview by Strombo with David Cronenberg, Robert Pattinson, Sarah Gadon and Paul Giamatti, to discuss their provocative new film, Cosmopolis.
Move over K.Stew, seeing your bf R.Patts at @Strombo tomorrow. C.Stew FTW! Nbd.

I always try to get the most work done on Monday’s in order to start the week off right. Get yourself a big coffee, put a smile on your face and listen to some good music. You always have to choice to make the most of the day or to let something/someone else determine your happiness.
Take charge. You are the director of your life.
This video is pretty funny! “When I walk in the barn, this is what I see” Jiggle part cracked me up.
“So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I’m still trying to figure out how that could be.”
Excited for the Perks of Being a Walflower movie. Trailer came out last night during the MTV Awards. If you are in Canada you can not see this trailer but you can watch at mtv.ca. I have never understood why MTV Canada does not let you embed their videos. Lame guys!
‘
Song frm the trailer. So good. “I’m never changing who I am“. Lead singer is potential boyfriend Dan Reynolds, dreamboat.
And I love her.
And you.
I publish a lot of things on the Internet. I’ve been told is it’s hard to keep up with’.
To me it is art. I have an obsessive compulsive obsession to make/build art/things/memories. Documentation is addicting. I’ve had days without Internet, I start scratching, yelling, freaking out, no just kidding, I do get antsy around 4pm. It happens more in weekends, sometimes I don’t feel like it then I miss it.
My favorite social media sites right now are Instagram, Pinterest, Viddy and I use Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare to share them.
Yellow and red were hot colours on my Instagram and Pinterest
A Viddy I posted of a wizard guy with a fushingi ball was on the ‘whats’s hot page’. I used to go CRAZY using 12seconds.tv years ago, similar thing but not as awesome. Viddy is like Instagram for videos! It has filters, music, and a 15 second time clock. My profile is viddy/casiestewart. It’s intrgrated with Facebook timeline if you have’t noticed.
I really love the DIY projects from Honestly WTF. I pinned this gorgeous Louis Vuitton studded collar from the 2012 Cruise Collection and a couple weeks ago I (started) one just like it. Mine’s not ready to come out yet.
Weather is gloomy. About to do some work around the house and vaguely movies, currently on something about British school girls in boarding school on Cosmo. The sun came out for a few seconds, captured its soul. If you are still in the dark ages with an old phone you can browse any user’s Instaphotos in Statigram.
Barbie made brekky. Beauty!
