Jack Black didn't always intend to be the funny guy he's known for now | 60 Minutes Australia

[@user-vm6oz6wt5g]

I bartended one of his concerts and worked the VIP. He went up to every single guest and was one of the most professional and friendly celebrities I have ever met. He.made eye contact with me and seemed willing to say hi but I had to be professional bc we weren’t allowed to be schmoozy with talent/ celebrities. I’ve met a significant amount of them and I have to say he was the nicest. He deserves all the blessings and achievements he has.

[@Dankku]

Nah, man, you've been bamboozled. Stay away from him.

[@rasmuslernevall6938]

When life gets really difficult I find comfort in the fact that Jack Black is never ever going to grow up. Knowing he's out there rocking his sax-a-boom is balm to any hurting soul.

[@bigrigJim]

My friend is a French Chef in L.A. , and Jack Black came back into the kitchen to meet him . He said Jack was the most down to earth and regular guy that he has ever met around L.A. , the total opposite of the snobby Hollywood types that he normally comes across.

[@reminaya]

Went to his concert in San Diego. As a professional musician, he put on as tight a program as any I’ve ever seen. Uncanny, really. A section of about 12 people around me and myself, laughed so hard that we were all crying in pain because we couldn’t stop laughing. Very scary. He (Jack) never once laughed the entire time or broke character. He had the energy of a triathlete. The voice of an opera star…..wish I were kidding. I still wonder which “lord” he bargained with 🤨.

[@JTheTsunami]

I hate that I missed out on Tenacious D in concert last summer

[@SalveRegina8]

Well, we know to which one his eyebrows belong.

[@TopicSet]

Which Lord?... I thought the same thing. Being successful in the entertainment business isn't usually dominated by staunch Christians, it's typically the opposite.

[@reminaya]

@@TopicSet I was a little taken aback when he did "School of Rock" (for kids...right.) after "Pick of Destiny" album, where he talked about having someone leave a "Cleveland Steamer" on his chest, or all the "Hail Satan!!" chants, or "sometimes you just have to fuck her hard" yada yada.... jeez. Even the backdrop for his concert in San Diego appeared at first glance to be a bird or something... only to realize we were looking at a penis jutting thru the interior of a vagina... looking back, it seemed funny at the time, but way beyond vulgar now. I'm no Polly Purebred, but everything is a race to the bottom now.

When he was cast for a big role in Peter Jackson's "King Kong", a friend exclaimed "Jack Black!? I can't STAND that guy!" I replied, "He's playing Carl Denham. You're not supposed to like him." I thought he proved himself nicely in the role.

[@mortalman24-7]

Hes the best human character in that film tbh

[@mattyfox_]

Honestly over the years I feel like with jack black its less about "OH he's hilarious" it's more like He's who we wish we were - extroverted - talented etc. I feel like it's less about how funny he is nowadays and more like He's somebody you'd want in your life as you're best friend. Or as a cool older brother. In a world with fake persona and image in Hollywood jack black feels like a genuine human being
