Jeremy Piven on the Mercury Incident

Jeremy Piven talked to Rolling Stone's Peter Travers about the infamous mercury incident that ended his run on Broadway in David Mamet's "Speed-The-Plow."

[@KellerCRD]

He grew up listening to Biggie? ummm i just looked it up and he was born in 1965 and biggie didnt hit mainstream until like 1992..weird

[@BeeHatGuy]

When you get older, you consider your 20s to be part of your youth

[@keelahrose]

More proof that he's a complete liar!

[@MrBdiddypop]

Mamet said that Jeremy Piven has started a new career as a thermometer. LOL!

[@nelson2F]

He was about 35-yrs-old when he "grew up on" Biggie Smalls. ( #BigDiscrepancy )

[@brynhildur1]

you have to realize that he is probably referring to methyl mercury not normal mercury poisoning. Methyl mercury can be in a large amount in this tuna he was eating from sushi, and maybe his concentration was high in the start, i.e. the concentration he got from his mother when he was born and so one.

@sadie0087777 Don't be ignorant. You have no idea the impact mercury poisoning plays on the body and the brain. I've been chronically ill for 6 years because of it. He's right to educate people on the issue.

[@cookfan1]

@melizmatea - Why lose respect? Jeremy's departure from the show, whether valid or "baloney", has absolutely nothing to do with you or your life. And I'm sure Jeremy really cares anyway...

[@lwandomakhonjwa863]

oooh man this is sad.

[@glennquagmire7315]

0:00 - 0:24 YEAH.

[@TheNyCsound]

93% of all americans will have some form of mercury poisoning at some point in their life. (ex: diet, vaccines, mercury tooth fillings etc...the list goes on) BTW Jeremy Pivin is the FUCKING MAN... Im gonna be pissed off if they dont come through with entourage the movie

[@mutoneon]

I'm not your Guy, Buddy!

[@mutoneon]

lulz, like I work for E! or something... It's pretty common knowledge that Piven is a huge dill-weed.

[@DaBeauHunk]

I guess it really comes down to 'who gives a fat baby fuck' what showbiz people think of each other... If someone told me Marlon Brando thought Edward Norton was a gigantic tool bag, I could care fucking less. They are both great actors and I love the job that they do in the films they make.

[@Borpinator]

poor guy :(

[@denastanchfield2760]

yah

[@Hazelbazel483]

It's not like Jeremy brings it up, people asks him about it so he just tells them about it. Besides it was dramatizing for him and that will always play a huge part in his life now, I mean he had a near death experience. But u know... i agree to disagree.

[@darlenes.6487]

It’s interesting to know he liked Biggie Smalls music…my dawg❤️

[@dianem2112]

I love you, Jeremy.

[@eyecoin]

entourage movie?

[@Malouco]

I used this as an excuse from work after I saw this. I was like... "Dear mister whoever the fuk it may concern! We are a fish food family! We be all up on some fried fish, lobster, tuna, and even cockapuss! I ate too much fishes and I got the mercury poison. Here is Jeremy Pivens proving this is real...K LUV U YOU BYE"

[@Malouco]

Oh P.S #NotCocaine

[@nelson2F]

I know a toxic substance when I see one. (November, 2017)

[@trintube68]

Or look at a more reputable source, but do read up...

[@Paulymcfly1]

Why do people hate him? He seems alright

[@dominiquecampbellzero]

Idk. Ppl need to chill

[@keelahrose]

@@dominiquecampbellzero Because he's well known for treating fans, colleagues, waiters and photographers like crap not to mention screwing his way through every barely legal piece of tail in Hollywood.

[@FEARYOYOYO]

@@keelahrose sounds good

[@DaBeauHunk]

common...knowledge. I don't know how people in inner-circles in showbiz's opinions on certain actors could be anything remotely perceived as COMMON KNOWLEDGE. *yawn*

[@4differenthumour]

i care....

[@woman1089]

I believe him LOL

[@juliedegraeve]

haha, having the facts, educate yourself, ... on Wikipedia... sure...

[@ThatsJustMyBabyDaddy]

😬

[@gsizzles]

Jesus Christ, he talks about this mercury poisoning story EVERY FRIGGIN' INTERVIEW!

[@melizmatea]

That's baloney, and everyone in the New York Theatre community knows it. I lost total respect for him, forever.
