As I walked down the red carpet, the flashes from different cameras almost blinded me. I was wearing a white coat over a black shirt, black pants, and a black tie with a white checkered pattern on it. The only piece of a different color was my pocket square, which was maroon. Overall, I loved my getup because it was a little unique from what everyone else was wearing. Just as at Cannes, I had received sponsorship from many luxury brands but had settled on Gucci this time. My hair was spiked up perfectly,…- 930.1 K • Ongoing

After my failed attempt at getting Spielberg to change the climax of the film, days went on normally. Or as normally as they could go on a film set. Steven had taken it upon himself to praise me to heaven and back whenever I would do a good scene. One thing I noticed was that all that praise was solely focused on me alone. He never went out of his way to praise the adults as much as me, even if they had given master performances, which led me to believe that I received praise only because of my age.It was…- 930.1 K • Ongoing

Meeting Evan again was like healing a long-festering wound. I didn’t apologize to him. Nor did he to me. We just went back to how things were before our little fight. That’s the best part of being a child. If we had had this dispute as adults, it would have been almost impossible to get back to the same point where we left off so easily. Evan’s parents, who had accompanied him to Cannes, left soon after and we began our trip.It was great being away from fame for such a long time. Don’t get me…- 930.1 K • Ongoing
