I love a good celebrity stunt cameo Halsey presenting a Grammy to Ally inA Star Is Born, hello!
A post shared by Kevin Garnett (@tic_pix)
InGems, Kevin Garnett plays … Kevin Garnett.
An R&B star (whom I wont name, because spoilers!)
Garnett isnt a cameo to set the scene or show clout hes really acting, and hes really great.
Howard is extroverted and a salesman, not starstruck or a fanboy; basketball lights his brain on fire.
He calls him KG, trots out some kitschy goods (importantly: Furby-shaped bling).
From some Ethiopian Jews, he explains, hes found and purchased a purple-blue iridescent rare opal.
The Oneohtrix Point Never score pulsates in the background.
Ladies and gentlemen, its thee uncut gem!
Like Thanos inAvengers: Endgameor an old-money socialite on the Upper East Side, Garnett is transfixed.
He holds the gem and looks at it so intensely its like hes looking through it.
The Safdies have a knack for tapping nonprofessional actors to live in and around their main characters.
Kevin Garnett inUncut Gemsis an instant classic.
