This is one segment I didn't like: Actress Greta Gerwig was just on David Letterman and talking about not just the movie she's in No Strings Attached, but what odd jobs she had in college.
Like bothering Actor Laurence Fishburne.
The jobs were about what you'd expect, until she got to the one where she said she was paid to go to bars and start trouble. Greta Gerwig says she was playing a lesbian in these situations. Letterman asked her if any famous people were involved in this, and she said her co-worker and she got into a fight with Laurence Fishburne.
Uncomfortable laughs from the audience.
Gerwig went on to explain that her co-worker sat down at Fishburne's table and drank right from his bottle, then looked at him as if to say "Yeah, I did that. What are you going to do?"
I'm watching this and thinking "Why did they pick on him?" I also thought that it's a safe bet Laurence Fishburne was one of the few black men in this establishment in Manhattan. Would they have bothered a white actor, someone they were attracted to?
I'd bet not.
Yeah, they're supposed to be Lesbian, but that's an insult to Lesbians. You know? In fact, it's an insult. It's saying that only someone Lesbian would do something like what Greta Gerwig and her co-worker did.
By the time she finished, I was waiting for the interview to end. Thankfully, it did.
Greta Gerwig owes Laurence Fishburne an appology.
