32-Year-Old Actor Interviewing Himself at Age 12 [video]

Via THR:

Talk about the interview of a lifetime. Thanks to the magic of VHS and a lot of patience, 32-year-old actor Jeremiah McDonald has unveiled a short YouTube video that was 20 years in the making.

In the video, present-day McDonald is seen having a realistic conversation with his 12-year-old self, via a tape he made back in 1992. Back then, McDonald wondered what it would be like to speak to a future version of himself, and made a video in which he asked all the burning questions any rational tween would want to know.

If you haven’t seen this, watch it. If you have seen it, watch it again:

Notice how engaged McDonald is when he sees an expression of his own creativity from two decades ago.

Takeaway #1: Once again, the spirit of the spec at work. Respond to creative instincts. Produce content. Put it out there to the universe. See what happens…

Takeaway #2: Find what you love… and do that.
