I would love it if somehow that turned into a real thing, but who knows, I have no idea.

I love action movies, and I don't discriminate against big movies or small movies. But it's very weird and totally accidental, but I'll take it. Emily is carrying a purse strap and Lara Croft has a gun holster, those are very different.

It was so funny when texted me that because I didn't realize how strikingly similar those photos are. 'Look, I have no idea what the future holds for me, but I love it.
