‘He didn’t have to be nice.

Johnson was a bright light to Nanjiani during what the comedian describes as a very tough job.

I wasnt able to get anything usable cuz he just mocked me, dismissed me, walked away.

I bet he doesnt remember.

Immediately following, Nanjiani and his team moved to theLooper/Total Recallcarpet.

Not in an at me way.

In a with me way.

He saw how upset I was, put his hand on my shoulder, laughing.

He didnt have to.

He could have just been cold after that, not made such an attempt to lift me up.

I would have understood.

He doesnt know me from Adam.

But he helped someone in crises just cuz.

I told him how much his kindness meant to me, Nanjiani writes.

He said it was no big deal.

But it was a big deal to me.

He didnt have to be nice.

I was just some scrub whod gotten his film wrong.
