Being a kid is thinking you're like Tony, being an adult is realizing you are really like AJ.

So I have to choose between a violent, externalizing narcissist and an incapable, internalizing narcissist?

[@thejamestocco]

@@bomboy7 lollllll

[@crazylazyfaster6123]

True

[@KayFabe87]

Amazing that Robert Iler is 39 years old. Just for context, James Gandolfini was 37 or 38 when the Sopranos pilot episode was being filmed.

[@andreimadasov4955]

He was 35 when they started fimling the pilot in Aug 1997 and turned 36 during filming by them time they wraped in October.

[@KayFabe87]

@@andreimadasov4955 Yes. I was "way' off. Point is; Robert Iler is older now than Gandolfini was when the pilot was filmed. Just an observation to point out how much time has passed since the show aired.

[@andreimadasov4955]

@@KayFabe87 no worries, just added some trivia info for those who are interested.

[@thru_and_thru]

That’s an insane fact…hard to believe.

[@bleakone9097]

And James was only 51 when he died.

[@JoeSmith-dl9ok]

I don’t understand why people from New York think it’s so special. Everything he talked about happening because he was in New York is everywhere. I’m from AZ and we did all the same shit

[@ivorysteele]

Because NYC seems like the entire country. We see everything in NYC.

[@willjay6943]

Doing coke in nyc is special . Smoking skante in the desert is not .

Your scene when you tried to kill your self in the pool broke me to my core when I watched it, and was a pivotal moment in my life that made me realize things weren’t alright in my life. Getting help now with a therapist to work my issues, but AJs life was a lot like mine

[@ClintonT.Biddle]

Tony Soprano said it best “Remembering when” is the lowest form of conversation.

[@artursarturs9783]

why?

[@ClintonT.Biddle]

@@artursarturs9783 because sometimes looking back at the good ol days kind of implies that the good times have passed you by rather than looking forward$ to whats to come. Like these celebrities who only talk about what they did and not what they’re looking forward to do.

[@artursarturs9783]

@@ClintonT.Biddle Thank you for explaining

[@11C1P]

@@ClintonT.Biddle Those who don't learn from the past are doomed to repeat. Just remember like Billy Joel said "The good ole days weren't always good & tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems."

[@jumpingalaxies951]

Does that not speak to some of his character flaws at the same time, though? Possibly.

[@Amero2323]

That's so funny he's talking about getting into clubs at a young age...just like AJ

[@Brick-so1ig]

Anyone Ever Mention You Remind Them of Jon Favreau?

[@kellykiser7600]

It’s one of Jons brothers. Google it. There loads of photos on then and also on Jons wiki page.

[@iesickboy]

Yep, me. Someone else was saying Mark Ruffalo, but I don't see it so much.

[@mikefigures5075]

Id like to hear him talk about when he was arrested for armed robbery during the same time he was in Sopranos

[@trogers7312]

the cops tracked him down from the pizza they found at the crime scene it was a custom pizza

Leading questions

[@bjkarana]

Robert should get into podcasting.

[@jonrobbin170]

I really hope you're kidding

[@bdr113080]

Well ur in luck 😂

[@STONESGAM]

I could see myself getting into alcohol and drugs being young and famous and a millionaire by your early 20's. Running around NYC and then Vegas after the show ended having money to blow and not really having to work or do anything. I think he was mostly acting like an average college aged kid just with money and fame. He hasn't had much of a career since the show ended but he has been in some advertisements and that Sopranos car ad that ran during the Superbowl a few years ago likely netted him a million or two I'd guess I certainly don't feel bad for him but I think he is just being real in these interviews. If I were him I would have taken a shot with Jamie though back in the day if I was out drinking with her. I'm not a celebrity crush type of guy but she just really has something. Lol

[@huntershoot101]

That's hilarious!

[@amirnk5744]

I get the feeling alot of our lives were similar to AJ

[@timothyslaughter476]

It's what made the show so great.

[@littleCarmine]

Americans love to say the word "so"

[@busterbiloxi3833]

Never trust an ex-alcoholic or ex-druggie.

[@Telepkr]

You know it's cool that he did that as a kid, but you can't spend the rest of your life staring back and looking backwards at something. He doesn't have a career. He's sitting here where the show is ended almost 20 years ago and he has nothing to show for it except that. So give him all the praise in the world but slow it down man. Slow your roll. You really aren't doing anything except talking about the past. It's okay to remember the past, just don't stare at it

[@iesickboy]

As someone who had a long career doing something I loved but can no longer do, feeling like having to start over in my 40s, it's tough. I get it, and your advice is something very important to keep in mind.

[@jameshorton3692]

You’re a jack ass

[@MadisonClemons8426]

It’s the greatest show in history so even if he did other things that would be the greatest thing anyone could possibly do. The show is legendary

[@tommyfu9271]

you think he needs a career? that's hilarious.

[@daniel-nw5iq]

​@@tommyfu9271for real this jackass don't know what he is talking about and hasn't been thru addiction.robert will always have a career

[@aivory1223]

This kid didn't have to act at all. it seems just like his character he's a selfish, arrogant, entitled, spoiled little brat..

[@eatass5627]

It’s called being a kid

[@camcom76]

Seems pretty honest to me. Fame destroys most childhood actors.
