Good advice for those who are Harry Potter.

[–]spermracewinner 2 points3 points ago

You can change your name to Harry Potter, if you want.

[–]user_name2 40 points41 points ago

Are you sure this is real? This sounds so unlike him.

[–]mvta 54 points55 points ago

It's fake. He's never said this.

[–]dick_rickles[S] 93 points94 points ago

Yeah I started looking and he never actually said this. But he genuinely doesn't care about his height and makes fun of it himself.

"I was worried on a personal level because I wanted to be slightly taller than I am, ideally. But I've now accepted it. Basically, I came to the conclusion a while ago that you can either be really bitter about it or you can make loads of funny jokes. When I meet people now and they all say, 'God you're so much shorter than I expected!' I always say, 'No! I'm actually slightly further away than you think', which confuses them."

[–]brianbrianbrian 9 points10 points ago

That is bloody brilliant.

[–]Gwohl 4 points5 points ago

I'm pretty sure this is a line out of his appearance on the BBC show Extras, actually.

[–]mvta 5 points6 points ago

I just watched the Extras episode. Unless I missed something, he doesn't mention his height at all.

I found this scan on a Facebook page. It's apparently the original source. Can anyone read Japanese?

[–]brianbrianbrian 3 points4 points ago

"Intercourse-wise" is a phrase that almost always makes me chuckle. That show had so many great moments.

[–]ignoto 2 points3 points ago

I know this is a 10 day old post now but the other comment is straight out wrong - the top to bottom part translates roughly to "I intend to concentrate on acting until 30 years old", and I don't see anything in the rest that refers to height.

[–]mvta 0 points1 point ago

Thank you! So much for that "source"...

[–]gulinbursti -2 points-1 points ago

nowhere near fluent but I took 4 classes of it. The part that's from top to bottom is a quote of him saying "I always wanted to be taller!" Th stuff at the bottom is so small I can barely see what the characters make out.

"I can confirm that he really said this according to Wikipedia"

-George Washington

[–]Teh_Warlus 48 points49 points ago

Also: a great way to make Elijah Wood feel bad.

[–]tarheel295 8 points9 points ago

but he's frodo...so the question is: harry potter or frodo?

[–]Coloneljesus 20 points21 points ago

Frodo. Definitely. Always.

[–]Logic007 8 points9 points ago

HAH

Potter all day.

[–]Coloneljesus 20 points21 points ago

I don't even give a fuck!

Sam.

[–]SOPA_NO 1 point2 points ago

I honestly thought they were the same person.

[–]fridgeridoo 15 points16 points ago

I used to be self-conscious about myself, but then I thought, fuck that, I'm me.

[–]Whos_that_guy 1 point2 points ago

I will live by this

[–]heliumdreams 0 points1 point ago

I'ma twist it into:

I used to be self-conscious about myself, but then I ran out of fucks to give.

[–]IMGONNAFUCKYOURMOUTH 6 points7 points ago

And then I gave a fuck about nicotine addiction.

[–]hawkeale 1 point2 points ago

Not to mention his alcoholism. He's quit now; but apparently he gave way too many fucks about drinking.

[–]ADoseOfFuckitall 5 points6 points ago

Plus the whole not being able to change his height thing kind of makes one accept it...

However, it's still sound advice. If you're confident with yourself, people won't even notice the things you're self conscious about.

[–]FatGirlRodeo 2 points3 points ago

No fuck that ... I'm a millionaire!!!

Doesn't smoking stunt your growth?

[–]General_GTFO 9 points10 points ago

My father started smoking when he was 11, and he's currently 6'8". If it did stunt his growth, it's a good damn thing.

[–]imtooold21 1 point2 points ago

If you start smoking early... if you do it with 16-18, there isn't much to inhibit... I'm not really much smaller than my dad and I started smoking very early... so yeah it can stunt your growth, but doesn't always...

[–]cocoabean 0 points1 point ago

I am pretty short, but I didn't even realize it until late highschool. My family has always been big on self-degrading humor so it was really just discovering a good source of comedic material for me.

[–]tc1187 0 points1 point ago

Quote has ego.

[–]dermanus 0 points1 point ago

I do like how he would wear the same jacket everyday to fuck with the paparazzi. Not exactly NGAF, but it is in the same spirit.

[–]SuperSagan3 1 point2 points ago

This isn't the indifference we stride for as badgers...

This is more "I may be short but I am rich and famous therefore I am better then taller people because of my fame and fortune!". That's a whole lot of insecure fucks being given.

[–]AbidingDudist 0 points1 point ago

YER A WIZARD HARRY!

[–]Hardcorex -3 points-2 points ago

You're a faggot harry.

[–]Geronimo15 -3 points-2 points ago

But how does this help teach me howtonotgiveafuck?
