I’m trying to branch out a little bit, even though I know many of you will just scream “WHO?” at me and quickly leave the post. Stick with it, because you might enjoy this person a little bit. This guy is named Miles Teller. He’s one of the young rising star-types and he’s been in a bunch of the films your teen or tween daughter has seen. He’s been in The Spectacular Now, Project X, Divergent and That Awkward Moment. He’s got several new projects coming out, like Whiplash (a Sundance favorite this year where he plays a jazz drummer) and Two Night Stand, a rom-com type. I was going to ignore him but we’ve been sent two magazine pieces about him in the past two days, and when I read the ELLE piece, I got a kick out of him. He’s really funny.

First, Miles was talking about one (or two) night stands with GQ (go here to see GQ’s package) and he gave some advice to the dudes who want no-commitment boning: “You should always try and be a gentleman—just be very delicate with your words. But also, if you don’t think you’re going to see them again, do not let them take a shirt and shorts. Because you will not get that s–t back.” Then there’s his ELLE piece (you can read the full thing here).

The best advice he’s ever received about women: “My dad always told me, “One in the hand is worth two in the bush.” That could be taken the wrong way… It doesn’t only apply to women. It means hold on to your life, because it’s not worth losing something that you have. When things go bad, you don’t run away.”

Bringing his girlfriend home to meet his family: “I brought her to meet my grandparents. My grandma tweets my girlfriend.”

Whether he’s ever taken Viagra (he’s only 27): “Uh, yeah. I’ve taken it before. You know, curiosity killed the cat. It’s a big-ass pill. My buddy in Vegas gave me one. He was like, ‘Bro, break it in half and take it two hours before you’re ready.’ When people are very specific on the instructions, that makes me kind of wary. But he was right.”

Whether Viagra makes sex better: “I don’t know. It’s just one of those things. If you get really hammered, it’ll still, you know, work.”

He goes to Vegas a lot & he doesn’t mind a strip club: “The few times me and my buddies went to the strip clubs, it’s because whatever happened at the night club wasn’t enough. There’s this one called Sapphire, which feels like WrestleMania. There’s sparkling lights, and they walk down two flights of stairs, and they’re like, “And stepping into the ring is Camaro!” I like Vegas. I like a good pool party. I’m from Florida. I love being out in the sun with my friends and drinking.

Whether he ever dated Shailene Woodley: “I’ve never dated Shailene. She would probably be repulsed by the thought. She saw me eat a Honey Bun two years ago.”

Vanities: “I used to be very vain about my thumbs. I have fat thumbs. If there’s a movie where you see me on the phone, it’s not my hands. [He confirms he has a hand-double.] Well, wait until you see this little hammer-thumb on a 40-foot screen with a chewed nail. You’re going to be like, ‘Oh, God.’

I mean… this is cute (to me). I like it when the younger celebrities are sort of different and neurotic and they aren’t so media-managed that they clam up and never tell their interesting stories. He’s a Hollywood actor in his 20s – of course he’s been to a Las Vegas strip club. Or course he took half a Viagra for fun, just to see what would happen. And this sh-t is just one of the best interview quotes EVER: “She would probably be repulsed by the thought. She saw me eat a Honey Bun two years ago.” I really like this kid.
