They are almost identical.

Almost.

I moved all the way from Maryland to Hollywood, away from everyone. Leaving behind my family and friends and everything safe.

Just like Johnny Depp left Owensboro, Kentucky, and just like Brad Pitt left Shawnee, Oklahoma, and just like Paul Newman left Shaker Heights, Ohio.

We all did this so we could become stars and have sex with girls that look like Charlbi. We could've had a baker's dozen Rachael Leigh Cooks back in our tiny towns.

But for guys like us - me and Johnny, and Brad, and Paul - that little bit of bone structure is worth thousands and thousands and thousands of miles and years and years and years of heartbreak.
