Remember when Jeremy Piven abandoned his Speed-the-Plow role because he'd "eaten too much sushi," got "mercury poisoning" and "almost died?" Well, Piven is STILL clinging to the Sushi Defenseā¢. Inside, video of Piven's unintentionally hilarious new interview with Peter Travers.
Here's the interview. Afterward, a fun drinking game that I just made up!
If there was a drinking game for this interviewāor any of Piven's previous Sushi Defenseā¢ interviews, for that matterāI think it'd go a little something like this:
- Piven mentions "almost" dying: Drink 1
- Piven mentions "evidence" from his "doctor": Drink 1
- Piven blames ~the media~ for distorting the story: Drink 2
- Piven begrudgingly notes that the whole "too much sushi" thing inherently seems like a bullsh*t excuse: Drink 2
- Piven compares his behavior to that of another celebrity in order to make it seem better: Drink 3
- Piven decries critics that said he pulled out because he cared more about partying: Drink 3 (and see above, because it's coming next)
- Piven pretentiously notes that he's a stage actor by trade, which makes it IMPOSSIBLE to pull out of an obligation due to heavy partying: Drink 4
- Piven tells the full, unaltered, spin-free truth: LOL
After watching the video, please feel free to make up some of your own rulesāand/or play along at homeāto add to The Official Gawkerā¢ Jeremy Piven Sushi Defenseā¢ Drinking Gameā¢.
