Keri Russell, John Stamos, Henry Cavill and John Goodman stopped by Late Night With Seth Meyers on Wednesday to take part in a special segment where they give advice to their younger selves by recording a video message.
“Whatever you do, don’t cut your hair short during the second season of Felicity,” Russell said. “No, I’m serious. People will freak the hell out. You’ll get hate mail, even death threats. Gradually your hair will grow back and your fans will forgive you but you will never, and I repeat never, forgive your fans.”
Fuller House star John Stamos jokingly gave away his secret to beauty. “On your 18th birthday, the Prince of Darkness, Satan, will offer you eternal youth in exchange for your soul,” Stamos said. “Little John, I’m telling you right now: You take that deal, son.”
Cavill, currently promoting his latest film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice told his younger self that he has something big to look forward even though it may not be exactly what he hoped for.“When you turn my age, your biggest dream will come true: You finally get to be in a Batman movie,” Cavill said. “You know how you have all those Batman posters in your bedroom and how you run around pretending to be Batman? … Well, little Henry, this movie has it all: the bat suit, the car, the cool gadgets. As for your part in the film, I think it’s better we wait until you’re old enough to handle it.”
Goodman on the other hand wasn’t as playful as the others. The 10 Cloverfield Lane star revisited a childhood memory that apparently still haunts him.
“When you’re out playing by the creek with Jimmy and the boys, they’re gonna dare you to throw a rock at a duck, and you will,” Goodman said. “And you’ll hit that duck square in the eye. Your friends laugh, but you feel terrible, and it won’t end there. Because everywhere you go for the rest of your life, that duck will follow you, looking at you with his one good eye, pointing at you as if to say, ‘You did this to me.’ So when you’re there at the creek, with the rock in your hand and the duck in your sights, make sure you kill it.”
