As a publicist, it's always a little strange being on a shoot that I'm not working on. Today was one of those days. ESPN came to the house to shoot James for a story about tennis players that play poker. This was a shoot I wasn't working on, or at least I thought I wasn't.
The idea for the shoot was James at the table playing a friendly game of poker. Well, to play poker you need people to play with, and since all our house guests conveniently got out of town for the weekend, that left Rory and I to join James at the table and fill the shot. I had to dress up in a hoodie and sunglasses and push chips into the pot as if I were going all in. I had no idea that poker players sometimes dress so ridiculously at the tables, wearing hats, hoods, sunglasses and headphones.
I must have done a terrible job as a poker player, because about 5 minutes into the shoot the photographer replaced me with his assistant. He actually felt bad about it too, like I might be disappointed I wouldn't be in the shot. Oh man, does this mean at 35 my modeling career is over before it ever started.
