Make a comedy-musical album based on secrets shared by Internet Strangers may not seem to be an obvious step for Jordan Firstman, who plays in the “English teacher” of FX and the new HBO show by Rachel Sennott which is called the “IT” pilot of the season.
But there is nothing in the career of Firstman who feels a Hollywood manual – and that is what makes him such a convincing figure. That, and all the jokes.
In Sunday Funday, people give us a game game of their Sunday ideal in the city. Find ideas and an inspiration where to go, what to eat and how to enjoy life on weekends.
The actor-director-director became “famous on the Internet” (his words) during the Pandemic COVID-19 when he started to make impressions on the social networks of without distrust of subjects like a IPhone charger not manufactured by AppleA Man who has 5'11 ” And The publicist of Banana Bread (“They try to make me represent a pumpkin pie at the moment. I'm like, b—, come back to me in four months”). Since then, he has undertaken projects that feel varied and fresh, in particular by playing the main role in the black comedy “Rotting in the Sun”, which was presented in Sundance in 2023.
Firstman's first album, “Secrets», Released this month, was born from the pandemic moments when he asked his disciples to submit their secrets to him via Instagram stories, and he would share them anonymously. He finally transformed several of the confessions into hilarious and very impressive songs (many of which have salaces titles which cannot be published here). “The coolest is like the fact that I think of direct life,” says Firstman of the album like DECYING GENI. can do it.
Always gravitating to good vibrations and more jokes, Firstman packs his Sundays with things that bring him pleasure. Its program for a perfect day includes a boat party, an ice bath and the most glorious spicy shrimp in the city.
This interview was slightly modified for length and clarity.
Midnight: Sunday officially starts
Considering we midnight the start of the day? If it is midnight, we have a few hours from the day, so we are either at a party at home, or maybe Castle (Marmont) Up to about 2 or 3 years. I think 3 is the perfect time to get home because it does not feel like you are lame and go home at 2 because you are at the and everyone is home 2 at the house, but you can always sleep up to 10 years and have a good night. Many of my friends push a little too strong and go up to 5 or 6 years. Not for me. I'm too old for that.
10:30 am: morning bagels
We go immediately Bagels of courage. My biggest flex in Los Angeles is that I can cut the line at Courage Bagels because they love me. I try to use it no more than twice a year because I don't want to lose privilege. I almost even hesitate to say it because I don't want them to withdraw me. But I think we have good DM relations. If I had my dream, someone would go get the bagels for me and bring them to my bed. But I don't have a loved one right now. So we will go to courage, cut the line, get everything burned with salted butter.
So I will go to Sqir Just for drinks. They have a good mocha there, and the lavender lemonade is really good.
11 am: Strategic training
I will go to Rodeo (athletics club)My gymnasium at Silver Lake. Apparently, the secret formula to lose fat is – wait, keep (releases your phone) -Method 12-3-30. It is a slope of 12% and a speed of 3% for 30 minutes on the treadmill. And I watch an episode of “Sex and the City”, “Girls” or “Entourage”, and it's 30 minutes. Time passes because you are not running. I hate running. So you walk, but you always sweat and you feel like you are training. And apparently, it's better than running. As that's what Tiktok tells me, and I think everything Tiktok tells me.
Then I will do a few minutes in the ice bath. In the past six months, I have really entered. I made eight minutes once. It makes you feel so much better emotional. It's really difficult to be in a bad mood after doing it.
12:30 p.m.: Party on a boat
My friend John Sharp has a boat parked in Marina Del Rey. I would spend the day there with a bunch of these gay boys from Venice. It is a good healthy atmosphere. And, you know, we will make mushrooms, drink natural wine. Usually someone will bring bread and cheese Türkiye. Then some friends will have people at home afterwards, and they will order food. And they will make everyone Vemo even before food comes. And sometimes I do the calculation and I am like, wait, I don't think you even pay (laughter). This is the atmosphere, but we love them for that. And they open their house to us, so that we can pay their delivery. It's good. But this is generally what ends up happening.
3.30 p.m.: Rub
On the way back, I stopped at Century Day & Night Spa. If it's the best day of all time, I would make a body scrub. Because sometimes, when you are at the gymnasium, you forget to take a shower. There is a “tank” happening, so you really have to rub it. And so we will have one of those ancient and nice Korean men rub it.
6 p.m.: Assemble the ideal bite of Sichuan food
So we are going to the San Gabriel Valley now. My favorite Sunday restaurant is Taste of ChengduAnd I order a lot. I hope I can bring friends. All my friends are, like fundamentally anorexic, or have a form of food disorder, so it is difficult to bring people to eat fatty foods with me.
I receive the flavored shrimp, the crisp chicken with the chilis peppers, the eggplant, the tomato and egg soup, fried rice with chengdu and green beans. The perfect bite is the fried chengdu rice – it is so good and the best fried rice I have never had in my life. This with a bite of eggplant, which is really soft and almost sketched, then with one of the shrimp. Oh, my God, I am so excited. It's like the craziest bite of all time, and you sweat and it's beautiful.
8 p.m.: Quick fun
If this is my ideal Sunday, AF – Buddy or an occasional dalliance would come, and we would have sex. It would be 8:40 a.m. Ok, at most, really, 8 at 8:25 am. Let's be real. And then he was leaving, then I looked at “The White Lotus”.
10 p.m.: Blurns with a skin care routine
I would do skin care after that. Get all my new peptides that I take full. Fill these syringes. A good mask would be good, just to look fresh for the next day. In bed at 11.
