“I hope at 50 I'll be dancing like Gianluca Vacchi
Party, whiskey, Bellini, Martini, Bloody Maries
Bad & Boujee, Tutti Fruity booty, type that really moves me
Kundalini rising, energy fill me completely

Let the stories in my head come out, bloom and blossom

Buying yachts and mansions and my mother shiny things
Encrusted diamond dial on a new Patek Philippe

I hope at 50
I'll be funny like Stephen Colbert
Cracking witty jokes, making everyone laugh in tears
Laughter it goes round and round like a carousel
Chronic comic sonic sounds of haha everywhere

I hope at 50

Zeno school of thought put an end to my evil ego

I hope at 50

Hard rock abs to be paired with an even harder mindset

I hope at 50,
I'll be wise like Denzel Washington
Wisdom, knowledge and the faith of God under my skin

“And then came Jane Rosenthal (De Niro's handpicked CEO to oversee his production company). She had adored Rocky and Bullwinkle as a girl, and her husband, real estate investor Craig Hatkoff, had made a Valentine’s Day present to her of the collected series on DVD. She, like others before her, thought there was a potential film in Ward’s iconic characters and surreal sensibility, and in 1998 she negotiated a deal with Universal Pictures to acquire the rights and produce a $75 million film for the summer moviegoing season.”

...Fearless Leader, a role for which Rosenthal thought De Niro was perfect. When she asked him, she recalled, “he really laughed at me.… He didn’t grow up watching it. It wasn’t his thing.” But she persisted. “I was always joking with him about it. Then I finally said, ‘Okay, you’ve got to get serious here. It’s a three-week role. Do you want it or not?’ ” Amazingly—perhaps because he knew the film was, as he called it, “Jane’s baby”—he did.
