Paul Giamatti Says Cher Keeps Calling Him, And He Has ‘No F**king Idea’ Why
HuffPost
“I don’t know what she could possibly want to talk to me about,” said the actor. “And it’s killing me, I’m dying to know.”
Paul Giamatti has found himself in a hilarious game of phone tag with none other than Cher.
The Goddess of Pop has purportedly spent years trying to get a hold of Giamatti, who said Wednesday on “The Howard Stern Show” that he has “no fucking idea” why. The Oscar-nominated “Holdovers” (2023) star ultimately has yet to find out — but not for lack of trying.
“Every now and then, I get a message from somebody that says Cher … really needs to talk to me, like it’s important, like it’s crucial that she talks to me,” Giamatti told Stern. “And I’m like, ‘What the fuck? Why does Cher want to talk to me?’ Nobody will tell me.”
“And then I never hear anything,” he added, “and a year will go by, and it happens again.”
While most would move heaven and earth to talk to Cher, Stern reminded his guest of new phone scams involving artificial intelligence that can easily fool people these days. Giamatti said he finally managed to reach Cher via voicemail. However, in a cycle that never ends.
