dating had been something that vanessa had thought about in a long time. after all she had been pregnant, her relationship ended and then she had given birth. the last thing that she imagined was that kendall would convince her to go on a date with chris. they knew of each other, ran in the same circles. they hadn't talked that much even when they were on the same set. they had only ever made brief and polite small talk. he had reached out and she assumed that one date would be harmless. if anything it gave her an excuse to get all dressed up and she could have a nice meal.

Chris couldn't help but laugh endearingly, nodding his head to show he understood. "I don't miss all those late night feeds. My kids have been sleeping through the night for years and I swear I'm still catching up on the hours I've missed out on." Despite the hardship that came with having children, Chris wouldn't change it for the world. The actor was extremely family orientated. It had been what drove him to only accept movies that filmed in Australia. Giving him the chance to stay with his family. Then after the divorce, Chris resided mainly in LA, not wanting to be away from his kids.

Pretty sure if that many are saying you do, it can't be false! My head is perfectly proportional to the rest of my body. They still do instagram polls, where have you been? Just because I may not know how to set one up doesn't mean that I can't figure it out, or get someone to help me. See you should have seen that coming, Jackman likes to pop up to make sure no one forgets exactly who he is. Could be, I got more picky in the roles I do, gotta keep the body set. How long? It wasn't that bad really was good that I try and keep active pretty frequently so was just more about getting back to the conditioning of it all.

many people can believe something and still be wrong. don't they call it mass hysteria? i don't know, you're starting to look a little like a bobble head. your neck is going to start hurting. no you're not allowed to get someone to help you, i want to see you try and figure it out on your own. i'll be waiting for that poll to show up on your stories. i was so sure he had fully retired from wolverine, i was close to taking that top spot. but now i don't know how much more thor i have in me. maybe i need to start doing what you're doing. less active roles to give my body a rest. i can do romcoms. those heavy work outs and crash diets when you get back into this kind of role can be brutal. especially when it's an avengers movie when you're around so many other fit people.

you shouldn't just write people off as fast as you are though? you really are exhausting. i'm aware that it might not have been smart to let it get in the way. it also wasn't entirely my choice? he's the one who ended things, but we're...talking again. we're not supposed to be talking about my love life! we're focusing on you! i know you wouldn't be trying, so i'm going to keep on going. i know you aren't going to settle, you've made that clear. i'm going to have to see if i can convince who i have in mind to try.

i don't do it right away, i do give them somewhat of a chance. i stand by what i said, kendall. just that it's also aimed at this guy. relationships aren't easy, but you have to put in the work, you have to try your best to keep it going. but it sounds like your love life needs more help than mine. plus it distracts you from mine. wait, you have someone else lined up already?

Really? I feel like I get it all the time, but that's a rabbit hole I won't go down with you right now. You're a good dad for encouraging them to stay in school. But I get wanting to be out on a dirt bike and living life. Hey, education is key or whatever these adults are saying. I couldn't agree more with you about life lessons. Look at us, just two old grannies talking about life and shit. They are and it's insane when they want to take owner ship of spaces around your home or apartment. Like out of all the places on this great big and beautiful world, you chose to build a nest on my property? Rude. Yeah, lets not speak that into existence, please and thank you.

maybe you're a little bit more psychic than me. or you're crazier, either one. well there's also the fact that i couldn't home school them. those kids are way smarter than me, they'd end up teaching me stuff. but nah yeah, they're just kids so of course they'd rather be doing anything other than classes. are you even thirty yet? i feel like you shouldn't be calling yourself a granny just yet, not when i'm involved anyway. while we of course do have wasps in australia, they're usually the least of your worries. it's the big spiders and the snaked you don't want living in your house. i've lost count how many times i've had to evict a huntsman or a snake.

That's exactly how it feels like. Or even like a little déjà vu. But mhm, I couldn't agree more. This is why I tell kids to stay in school, and then I'm reminded just how I sound like an old granny tell her grandkids to stay in school. Majority of the stuff I learned? Rarely used. Wasps are little demons, I swear. They're also so damn big and for no reason either. Don't wasps sting like multiple times too? Little fuckers.You're probably right now. They're like either I do it myself or the human does it.

déjà vu is such a weird feeling. i don't get it often, luckily. i've had to tell my kids that often. they're feral and would prefer being out on their dirt bikes than stuck in a class. i'd much rather be doing that then the school run but an education is apparently important. they need to go back to teaching life lessons. now that makes me sound like an old granny. they're always so angry as well. like they're mad at you for existing in the same place. they come into your space and then blame you for it. i swear they get bigger every year, in a few years they're going to be the size of our heads.

so basically you're saying that you are an all or nothing kind of guy with your relationships? this is what it's sounding like to me. um...there was one guy that i thought...it might be it. then our schedules just didn't let that happen. i am set on helping you find someone, or at least getting out there. if i wasn't being a pain in the ass, would you have even tried? you are making being your friend so hard, i swear. so should i find someone who works in the same industry? is that what i need to do?

yeah, i guess i am. at my age i definitely don't want to waste time. if i know it won't work then it won't work. i'm looking for someone to settle down with. allowing your schedules to get in the way isn't a good move. it's hard but you have to make it work, you have to sometimes put your relationship first. i turned down a lot of roles because it would have taken me away from elsa and kids. probably not. i definitely wouldn't be trying if it wasn't for you. i appreciate you helping but again i'm not just going to settle for any woman. preferably, they at least get it. they understand the industry and the issues that comes with being an actor.

as long as you know that! i don't think that we do, but the way this is going? it might just end up happening! are you telling me that any relationship you had, not just your marriage, there was always a spark? something instant? i don't know what you've been doing, because it feels like you haven't been doing much. chris, you have to have some level of charm. that's the fun of dating again, getting to know the person!

more or less, i haven't actually had many relationships. they've always been long term things, if i'm going into a relationship then it's with the intent for it being a lifetime thing. are you telling me that you've never had that moment when you've met someone and thought, this is it? i thought that's because you were doing all the work? you seem so set on finding me someone that i've just left you to it. i do have charm, but it doesn't seem to be working on some women. or it works too much and it's obvious it's a parasocial kind of thing.

See, I remember learning about that when I was kid but wasn't exactly certain if it was something I made up. But who would have guessed science would have been useful in high school. I also remember learning that once they sting a person? They die. Which tragic. Imagine being an idiot bee who's like, "i'm going to sting this human bitch and kill myself while at it." What an interesting mind your older brother has.

does it feel like one of those fever dreams where you're never quite sure if it happened or not. this is exactly the reason why we go to school, for moments like this. because i surely haven't had to use much of the stuff i learnt. which is why bees are better than wasps, because they only sting as a last resort. wasps just sting for sport. i guess maybe they believe they're going to die anyway so might as well do it while fighting back. it's quite noble of them.

I could never be third best at anything I do, Hems. You just have to learn how to accept that. How about we put this to a vote on one of those instagram polls, that's what the people basically do these days for answers right? See going away and coming back has all the people looking, I'm going to totally win these polls and then we can just accept it and move on. Speak for yourself, I'm in the never been better stage of my life but if your body is aching they say alternating ice and heat does wonders.

and they call me chris with the ego? your head is getting a little big there, mate. you sound so old with that. one of those instagram polls. but sure, grandpa, i can do that. i would ask if you want to, but i have a feeling you don't know how to do it. if i wasn't going for the longest time someone has played one character i might just do that. but with hugh jackman reclaiming his spot, i don't think i have a chance. that's probably because i've been non stop. i've worn my body down quicker. how long did it take for you to get back into shape?
