08/10: Aziz Ansari on Diddy the Comedian and His Efforts to Get Diddy to Follow Him on Twitter
In an
interview with New York Magazine, actor/comedian Aziz Ansari talked about working with Diddy on "Get Him to the Greek" and his efforts to get Diddy to follow him on Twitter.
You've been sending Diddy messages on Twitter for months. Did he know who you were?
He did know me. I've seen him at a couple of things and he's kind of known me, I'm not sure from what. But he knows who I am somehow. So I saw him at the Get Him to the Greek table read and he was like, "Hey man, you hit me up on Twitter, right?" And I was like, "Yeah, I did. Hey man, why don't you follow me?" He was like, "I don't follow you?" And I was like, "No, you don't!" So I got a request on MySpace from Diddy. And I was like, this is not the real Diddy. And I looked and it was the real Diddy requesting me as a friend! So I approved it and I sent him a message that was like, "Hey, after much consideration I decided to approve your MySpace friend request" And he responded to that and was like, "Oh, thank you. Let's go!" or whatever he writes. And then the next time I saw him, I was like, "Hey, you didn't follow me!" So he said, "Oh man, I'm sorry, I'm going to get on that right now. Write down your name." I was like, alright. And then like a month or two later, we went back to filming and I was like, "Sean, you're still not following me, man. It's been like two months." And he's like, "Oh no, I forgot." And then he started following me. But man, he is so funny in that movie. You are really going to be blown away. He was cracking me up. He was really good. He's a pro. I was very impressed.
