00:00Can you tell me about the first time you met Rutger?
00:07Uh-oh.
00:08Well, I get chills just thinking about that.
00:13Oh, my goodness.
00:14This is going to be a little bit hard for me to talk about.
00:19First time I met Rutger, we were going to be filming in Prague.
00:23The first thing he did was grab me and put me on the back of his gold-winged bike
00:28and drive me through the streets of Prague.
00:31They set up a Skype call, and I was so nervous leading up to that conversation.
00:35I couldn't even eat my lunch.
00:37He just looked at me and said, good luck, good luck.
00:40And he shook my hand, this big, massive hand that he has.
00:43And I was just like, oh, my God, I can't believe I got to meet Rutger.
00:46I wish I looked like that. I wish I could do that.
00:49I wish I, I go, that's, I want to be like that one day, you know.
00:53I think Rutger was someone we all wanted to be.
00:56I always looked up to him.
00:58He also had a body. I think he could do anything.
01:09The winner is...
01:12Rutger Hauer, Escape from Sobibor.
01:15He's one of the few people in my life that I was never concerned about.
01:21Like, I could tell him anything, or he could tell me anything.
01:25When Rutger walked out on set, everything went quiet.
01:29Thank you very much.
01:31It's, uh, I can't think of a more memorable birthday than this one.
