I thought this was yes or no on the truth. I was just saying I got away with, like, all kinds of things as a kid. Um, you could have, like, I'm not just gonna give up that easy. You gotta ask questions on an episode of Ellen you said that you and your sisters used to play dress up as kids. Yes. Did your sisters ever dress you up as this person? 100%. Yes, they did. There were photos of me dress up like Madonna. I found them when I was 13 and I tore them up. What do you think, Sam? Trick. What? You say you're a big Madonna fan. Yeah, Yeah.

When I was a kid, Have you been a vegetarian your whole life? So would you say people who eat meat are No. I think everybody should do what their body tells him they should do. Did you know you were voted as Peter's sexiest vegetarian back in 2009? Did you know they wanted me to pose naked with a bunch of chicks and have a thing? This is chicks dig me. I don't know about the nudity part, but he definitely wanted, like, a bunch of baby chickens. They they wanted the tag to be chicks dig me and was like, I don't know how I feel about that. Okay? Sam agrees. Sam agrees. Would you say that's one of your prouder accomplishments? Um, being a Peter sexiest guy in 2000 2009. Sad that I remember. That was 2009. What does that have going on in 2009? I wasn't heroes in 2009. I think I've been more proud in other moments. Is it safe to say you'd rather go naked than wear fur? Yes, that is correct. She's the boss man. Just here for the questioning. Let's talk about your career. Cool. Let's get the fun. Your first agent wanted you to go by the name Milo Vent. Venti. Venti. My last name it was too difficult for them, I think. I don't know. It was like, uh, too many letters, like in, you know, it was just too much for them. They said my eleventy and I was like having my last name. Zaventem Ilya. And if let's say I do well enough people gonna figure that out. If you figure that out, then they'll know that my name's Milo Ventimiglia. So let's just do that. But also, like, now, these days, I'm kind of happy about it, because that means that have been Milo. Big cup of coffee. Nobody wants to be my love. A cup of coffee. Did you ever think about using a different stage name? No, I never did. Never did. Although I was, like, stoke tohave like nicknames when I was a kid. Like I played football is like Spike. Or like my friends, they would call me face or the like nicknames and whatnot. I went by Anthony, my middle name in seventh grade. Right soon. That's true. Yeah. So face you act, produce and direct. Is there one you like to do more? Um, I like them all equally. I think I would think, um like, uh, I'm always gonna ads. I feel like that's just things you got to do with my friends as a producer. Like creating opportunities with my partners and directing haven't directed a little while. It's been a minute since I direct, but I think that's going to change soon. What you say there's one skill. You're better at it than the others. Um, do you want asked which one or whatever? Be more specific, So help Sam out. Sam was questionable. She's the boss, that boxer or not, would you say you're a better actor? Bad given? I don't know. Like usually people get like yes is there knows you're doing just fine. You're just going through their truth or fiction. Got it. Um, I think I'm as good a producer as I am an actor and as good an actor as I am. Hopefully director and it's gonna directors I would want to be a pretty sure wasn't confusing answer. Never fucking given was your first rule on the fresh Prince of Bel Air. Uh, yeah, that was my first paying gig. Wasn't my first gig gig done music videos before. That was my very first Like where I actually made a paycheck from from acting. Would you say you're a better actor producer director than this guy? Will Smith? No, absolutely not. Adult. Truly. Don't this guy, this guy legend. He's a legendary and, you know, like, he he actually he gave me one of the best lesson I could've learned. When I was a kid, I had one line on his show. Took me under like that under his wing. But like, he talked to me, I was a kid with, like, one line on the show. And, like, Will Smith fully talked me biggest movie star back then and one of the biggest Now he took the time to talk to me. So it's like, be good and gracious and kind to everyone on set because they deserve to be there. Right? Sam, you're not like Do you know the entire fresh Prince of Bel Air themes on? Yes, I do. You wanna wrap it for us? Um, I could I'm gonna choose not to, but you know the words. Oh, yeah. What's Philadelphia? Born and raised in playgrounds where I spend most my days showing maxing relaxing. All cool. I'll shoot some B ball outside of school when a couple of guys that were up to no good started making trouble. My neighbor I got in one little fight. My mom, she got scared. So she said, You're moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air. I mean, I was in for Gabby when it came near the license plate, said fresh dice in the mirror. I thought that if anything like this cab is rare for your homes, I pulled up to the house about seven or eight and I said, Thio, the cabbie like, yo, homes, they smell you later. So I was looking in my kingdom. I was Finally I was gonna sit on that throne. Prince of Bel Air. Those were the words, right? Sam? He did pretty good. Moving Theme Played the character Jess Mariano on Gilmore Girl. Yes, I played just Mariana What you said before, you're on team Dean. Is that still true? Yeah, absolutely. But it's kind of influenced by my love of Jared Cadillac E because he is such a wonderful human being, and I because that I'm like, forever. I love Dean. I love the character because I love Jared, but also mad Exupery. Maddie's you create is a really great guy, too. But I was not such a fan of Logan, his character but Maddie like matches the best Gilmore Girls fans still approach you. Yes, it was crazy is when you get a kid like someone was like 12 years old. I love Gilmore Girls like you were negative five when I was making it. How do you love it? But people still love it. Do you know the opening theme song to Gilmore Girls By heart? Could I think about it for a second? Take your time. If you see we'll find any. No, I don't Actually, I really don't. I know the melody how it goes But I don't know the words entirely. You better that Dean came before you in the opening? No, not at all. I don't think so. Could be, but not really, because he was. I mean, if you think about it, he deems their first Sam. That's question. So shake your head of me, Sam. It's not questionable. He played the character Peter Petrelli and NBC's heroes I did. Your power on the show was to mimic and replicate other people's powers. Yes, yes, sponge. Is that the superpower you'd want? Really? I think it's a pretty cool one. I felt like Peter Patella was kind of like Superman. Especially once he was able to harness all of the powers. Um, yeah, I think it's kind of cool to have have Peter Sponge ability. Would you use those powers for good? Hopefully, would you use your powers to get backstage at one of her? Uh, I don't know. Yeah, maybe. Like invisibility and school. Like, sit there and hang out. Maybe, maybe. Or You know what? I'll just go buy a ticket in your new movie? Yes. Art of racing in the rain. You play a racecar driver? Is that right? It is. Would you say that you're a good driver in real life? Yes. Are you a fast driver? Yes. Have you ever gotten a speeding ticket? Oh, yeah. Like take it snow. Several tickets yet. Have you ever used your celebrity status to get it out of it? I have never used it. But people have no, like police officers have noticed May And I think going easy on me. My dad actually got out of a ticket with our last name. the last name he gave me, You got pulled over. And, uh, and the police officer looked at last name because, you know, there's an actor and he has that last name, and I think my dad's leaned into it like, Oh, yeah, that's my son. And I think I don't know if we're for a left turn or what or speeding whatever was. But I think you got a ticket. So you've never flirted with a police officer to get out of a ticket? Um, flirted with a police officer. I tend to try and just I know that it finally caught up with me. If anything, it's like I think that was the last time we got pulled over. I was just I was ready for it. I knew it was coming. So I was like, definitely speeding or making Odo as making a legal U turn in a business district. I got pulled over in the carpet. You made it. I was like, I'm sorry. I realized I was trying to pull into the lot. He's like the gate was closed. Yeah, I guess I wasn't. So you just give me the ticket. I knew it was coming anyhow and I deserved it. Is that No, no, I've never fly. I don't think I flirted with a police officer. Sam's not convinced. He believes he's time. Wait, hold on. That's fascinating. He believes that to be true. Oh, wow. Do you just like, Is it so mental for you and actresses? What if an actor believes themselves? Like get Amanda Seifried plugged up to this thing because, like, she believed that she had a brain tumor in this movie. There's a book out there. Guys read the book, too. Gar Stein's great novel Go get it. Start alongside a golden retriever In this movie, I start along a couple of golden retrievers on set with those dogs. Good boys. Actually, you know what they were. They were very good dogs. They, uh they calmed everyone down. I was the only one allowed to pet them, which was great for me, But I felt bad for like, a camera. Guys that were there, every single shot. Those dogs teach you how to be a good boy. The dogs. Dogs. No, I think the trainers told me how to be a good boy, but I don't like the dogs taught me how to be a good boy. So you think the dogs were good co star? I would say they were great co stars. Yeah. Were they better co stars, then? This guy? No. No, because this guy is one off one of my favorites. One my favorite co stars ever. Um, I think probably could've hired anybody else, but he brought me in to play. Son. I think people still think that I'm his son, which is great, but such a kind. Giving one of the smartest guys I've ever known and worked with. Just con giving talented orders, slides the best. What about this guy? Please don't put these two against each other. Like I can't answer that question. You're about to do that. Weren't you said not salmon. I love Sam. Manzie seemed like he brings me into what's not called a film set. He brings me in a summer camp. Like he he littered like Yeah, but he's gonna be like summer camp. No, sand man's great. Such a such a great guy. The same thing to like, Looks out for his crew. Expects not expect demands a lot of hard work because he's working his butt off. So it was so a slide, but two amazing amazing guys to work with, Right, Sam? Yep. That's true. Which of these co stars would you say? A required Maur Attention on set. Um, well, that's not Parker or Butler. Looks like them. But I would say that I worried less about Sand Man and Sly. And I knew that I needed a lot of focused attention on our Enzo's on Parker Butler. So can you tell all your dogs apartment? Yeah, totally. Yeah. You get supporters. You started thistles us. Correct. It is. The show is known to make people cry. Do you cry when I watch your show? Where's your life? Yeah, crying. Like I don't think I wept in last week. What about the last month?
