When I was about ten, I was very impressed by the way Tarzan could swing through the trees from vine to vine. No one ever told me, 'Don't try this at home.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I sat with the grandson of Edgar Rice Burroughs at the world premiere of 'Tarzan,' and at the end of the film, he was very happy. He told me that we were bringing 'Tarzan' to a whole new generation, and he was very grateful.
Swimming gave me my start, but my pal Tarzan did the real work. He set me up nicely.
I haven't done Vine in a long time, and when I first started, I just did stuff that I thought was funny.
How can a guy climb trees, say Me Tarzan, You Jane, and make a million?
I've done 20 takes of a Vine before it goes out.
We didn't ever want 'Tarzan' to feel like he was just a man. We didn't want him to stand up straight or wave good-bye. We wanted to make sure he always had that piece of gorilla in him, that he always had an animal attitude about him.
When I was younger we had a grape arbor, and my mom would go out and pick grapes and make grape jam in the sink - boil it, put it in jars, and give it away as gifts.
In Tarzan I only had to worry about the bees.
The inspiration for my Vines comes from thinking about funny and relatable experiences from my daily life.
I was the only swimmer in movies. Tarzan was long gone, and he couldn't have done them anyway; he could never have gotten into my bathing suit.
