In a reflective conversation, the guest recounted his experience of appearing on Terry Wogan's show, describing Wogan as a genuinely nice person. He expressed his feelings of being obnoxious during the interview, particularly while promoting his film Wild at Heart, which led him to adopt a playful persona. He reminisced about a special snakeskin jacket he found in a thrift store that echoed Marlon Brando's style, which he later gifted to actress Laura Dern. He also reflected on his decision to turn down a role in Dumb and Dumber, expressing contentment in his career choices.
I remember Terry Wogan was a very nice man and I enjoyed the interview with him, although I thought I was both obnoxious and somewhat wild. I guess it's no secret that I was promoting a movie called Wild at Heart, so I was sort of play acting to that.
I found the snakeskin jacket in a secondhand store on Melrose in Los Angeles called Aaardvark's; it reminded me of the jacket Brando wears in The Fugitive Kind and I knew at some point I was gonna put it in a movie.
I'm glad they made their movie and I'm happy for them, but I think I made the right choice. I was lucky enough to be in Warsaw recently and, by chance, found a premiere of The Surfer.
I thought: Well, that's an interesting look. I don't know why that came back to me when I went on Terry's show, but I thought: I'm going to create that look again. It was incredibly absurd and irreverent.
