Good evening! Ladies and gentlemen, today we have 2 men here 1 of them you all know and love one of the finest actor, Al Pacino
Clap! Clap! Clap!
And the second one. Let me tell you we all have been his fan without even knowing. And when i came to know who he was well i thought what the hell have i been doing with my life. Everyone please welcome the very young author of "Jurassic Park", "Harry Potter". Michael Collins.
As i entered the room the audience was surprised. I just walked over to my place.
Well Michael how does it feel being on a live interview for the first time?
It's good John.
So why now? We all know you have always been a anonymous writer and let me tell you no one would have guessed a 7yr old kid as the author of those books you wrote.
Thank you John. Well as you know my film "The Sixth Sense" will be releasing soon. So i am here to promote it and after the release of movie well you know reporters would have found everything about me so i thought why give them the trouble so here i am.
So Al can you tell me what the film is about?
Oh! Thank you John for noticing me.
Everyone laughed.
I tell you this kid is a attention hogger. Everywhere you go no one gives a damn even if you are a king. They learn about him and there you go on the background.
Ha! Ha! Ha!
Well John it would be better if you ask Michael this question. He can explain it better as it is his script while also playing a role in the movie.
Really so Michael tell us what's this movie about.
Well it is a story how a kid can see dead people. His family tries to understand him but can't. So they call in a doctor which is played by Al. And then the story about how doctor and kid interact.
Oh! This looks deep. So Michael how did you come by the idea for this story.
This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.
Actually it is something how i feel. You know that i am actually quite smart. So sometime i zone out in my world of thoughts and kind of shut people out. It kind of separate me with people.
So you don't get along with people.
No! No! I can get along with people but not my age.
Really so what do you do in school you know everyone there is around your age.
I know and let me confess God! I know This is not good but i don't have any friends.
Oh no, but why? You know you are cool and writer all that the chicks must dig you.
Well no knew that i was the writer of those books. And kind of make them cry whenever they speak to me.
Ha! Ha! Ha!
Why do they cry?
I don't know they are kids. All they do is shout and cry.
Ha! Ha!
You know one time i made this girl cry because... oh i don't remember the reason it was probably something stupid.. so she is crying and i am begging her to stop but she won't so i did this coin disappearing and appearing trick and finally she stopped.
So you can do magic? Did you learn it at Hogwarts?
Ha! Ha!
You have read my books.
Of course. So Al how was it working with this child genius?
I will tell you how it was A Pain in the ass. How would you if he was doing your job and better than you? You know we all thought he would have problem but no he just went into the role and did it.
So Michael i heard you were 3-4 yrs old when you started writing.
Yes! Mrs. Higgins the head of orphanage helped me publish my work.
You were adopted 2 yrs ago right?
Yes.
We also discovered there were some unpleasant things happened to you which led to your adoption with Maureen Harper who is also your publisher.
Yes.
Then i had to tell them everything. The people had tears in their eyes.
Then Al spoke. You know me and David saw it during shooting it is like a triangle. And when he told us everything... well it made us feel bad for him. But you know what he said
"Oh come on guys don't worry. The things which does not kill you only makes you stronger.Right?
Everyone clapped at that.
It was very brave of you Michael.
Thank you John.
So how is life with Maureen?
It is good. She is so patient with me, i don't know how. I can be difficult and when i told her i wanted to be an actor. She just told me to follow my heart.
That's sweet of her.
Yeah.
So ladies and gentlemen we come to end of this conversation and do not miss "The Sixth Sense" movie with views of child genius Michael Collins and with him our beloved Al Pacino.
