Det värsta segmentet i Actors studio är när Proustfrågorna tas fram, eftersom jag tycker att programledaren är så himla konstigt som intervjuare och det blir extra tydligt just då. Sen brukar han också säga att det var Marcel Proust som “uppfann” dessa frågor vilket inte stämmer heller, däremot gillade MP att fylla i något som man kan likna med “Mina vänner-böcker”.

Med det sagt är det roligt att läsa i textform och roligt att få fylla i själv. Finns en interaktiv version av frågorna på Vanity Fairs hemsida som räknar ut vem man är mest lik om man fyller i på engelska baserat på alla . Jag blev Joan Didion vilket gjorde min dag!

Vill dock varna för att svaren inte går att se i efterhand när du tryckt på “submit”, har dock inte provat logga in med facebook…

Varning #2. Jag är usel på engelska, jag vet.
