[Sidebar: on our drive home from school today we saw a car that had its back windows tinted with that advertising tint stuff. I don’t know what it was for, but a soccer player was fully featured. My son said, “Hey, that’s Neymar!”
I thought for a second and said, “Uh. Neymar. I think that guy was in the xXx movie I had to do for the podcast.”
“No way,” my son said. He grabbed my phone to check.
Letting him search for xXx on my phone as I was driving…not so wise.
Anyway, once we sorted the name of the movie it turned out Neymar was indeed the dude in xXx: The Return of Xander Cage and that was the rest of our long drive home. Me describing his silly napkin dispenser scene and then breaking down the plots of all three xXx movies. And then going into stuff about Fast and Furious movies. Since he’s never seen any of those movies. It was a cool discussion, actually.
