The sky’s the limit for Ben Stiller.
During a recent interview, the Severance executive producer and director revealed that before asking John Wick star Keanu Reeves to narrate the show’s puppet propaganda video, he originally reached out to President Barack Obama.
“I didn’t ask him in person, I knew someone who knew his lawyer and his lawyer said I can relay the request if you write an email,” Stiller told host Jimmy Kimmel during a March 3 episode of his late-night show. “So I wrote an email to him saying like, ‘Hey we have this show,’ whatever.”
Unfortunately, the Zoolander actor didn’t quite get the answer he had hoped for.
“Two days later, I get an email back from President Barack Obama,” he explained. “Saying, ‘Hey Ben, big fan of the show, love season one, can’t wait for season two. Don’t think I have time in my schedule to make this happen.’”
Despite his disappointment, Ben was surprised the A Promised Land author wrote back, saying it was “pretty cool he responded.”
