Dan in Details mag

>> I found it very interesting 
in that article that he says  that his best friend, Will, is 41(!!!) <<


Will is the one who introduced Dan to the indie punk music he likes  so well 
(I think that's the right "designation" for that style of music - if I'm  
wrong, don't blame me, I'm old!  The Beatles were the rage when I was a  kid!).  
They've been good friends since the first film.  Dan was  picked on a lot at 
school - that's why his mum took him for his first audition,  to let him be able 
to say he'd done something none of the others had done - she  had no idea 
he'd get the part.  (Dan said this on some interview last month  - can't remember 
which one - maybe Conan O'Brian??  Or Jonathan  Ross???  Dunno.)  So he 
didn't have a lot of school chums, and I  suspect that, when he found someone with 
whom he discovered a common interest,  they just hit it off.  And as Dan 
quoted Will as saying, Dan's "a young  person in an old person's husk" (heehee - I 
like the sound of Will).  I've  had friends much younger or much older than 
me, if we have a shared, very strong  interest.  Heck, I'm the oldest person on 
FanFicAuthors authors' forum -  some of them are many decades younger than me 
- doesn't mean we don't enjoy each  other's company and conversation.  If a 
young person is mature enough, and  open to actually LISTENING to the older 
person, and the older person is young at  heart, such friendships aren't all that 
odd.  
 
And as for the set for that "Details" photo shoot - it looked like  a boy's 
bedroom to me, complete with a cowboy with a lariat, riding a horse,  sitting 
on the desk.  And Dan appeared to be texting something, or reading  from a 
Blackberry.  But the hood was just odd, as was the shot that was  sepia-toned, 
with Dan's hands blurry.  JMO.
