The length of today’s Monday was brought to you by the past MONTH’s worth of Halloween party shenanigans: Mario/Yoshi & Peach, 1/4 of 101 Dalmatians & Cruella, and “Vintage Vanity” in New Orleans. And that’s just three looks with ME. By the end of October, Mia clocked in at 7, and having made 3 for me- that’s 10 costumes total 🤦🏻‍♂️ . Yeah we went a little extra this round... but THIS IS HALLOWEEN. Until next year! Ok on to the turkey and shopping and lights and snow thing...

All I ever wanted when I started acting was to one day perform the works of America’s greatest playwrights. If I got lucky, maybe I could do it alongside America’s greatest actors. But if I got REALLY lucky... Maybe I could do both on BROADWAY- with my FAVORITE actors. ... I’m beside myself. @buffalobway opening Spring 2020

@steveaoki and I both share a love for reinvigorating familiar songs by fusing them with seemingly unconnected musical styles. And for as long as I’ve had this wild idea of transforming @davematthewsband’s seminal ballad ‘Crash Into Me’ into a dance track, I always thought Steve would be the perfect person to bring it to life. So when we finally got the opportunity to meet, I was beyond psyched that Steve was as into the concept as I was, and we began working on it almost immediately. The total unexpectedness of it, the unapologetic fun of it, and of course the deep love of Dave Matthews we both had made creating this version together an absolute blast. (link to listen in bio)

Back to the grind in LA after a magical week in Paris collaborating with the even more magical @olivier_rousteing for his outstanding show this past Friday. I felt so honored to be a part of it. It was a special show for me and the lads, and we all felt so grateful to Olivier and the @balmain family for inviting us knuckleheads to the party. What can I say? Ça plane pour moi! 🤘😎

It’s been ten years since @mrhudson’s last full length album. In that time I’ve spent a pretty solid percentage with him as both a friend and a fan, talking about music, life, love, dreams, and everything in between. He’s one of my favorite people to listen to, both as a person with a brilliant mind and as an artist with a beautiful soul- and I couldn’t be more happy and proud that my buddy Ben has finally decided to release some of his magic dust for us to enjoy.

Four years ago I spent a summer in Italy shooting a wacky, joyful little film in the unbelievably charming Tyrollean village of Fane Alm. It was one of the most fairy-tail-like places I’d ever seen in real life. I made a lot of great friends and had a truly magical time. Lotta wine, lotta laughs, lotta fun. That film, “All You Ever Wished For” is now out on @appletv and @amazon. Divertitevi! 🇮🇹💕✨(link in bio)

So let’s talk about waste management. Yeah, I know, it’s not a very sexy topic- but that’s exactly why it’s such a massive issue in so many parts of the world. So I decided to take a trip to the Philippines, a country close to my heart, with my friends from @glblctzn to learn specifically about metro Manila’s waste and sustainability challenges. I met a lot of inspiring people who have made incredible strides towards creating a cleaner, greener future, but the obstacles they face are still overwhelming. I’m urging mayors in the Philippines to implement zero waste programs in their cities in partnership with their communities. A huge thanks to Mayor @lenlenoreta, who I met just last week, for committing already- now we need more Mayors to do the same. Join me and take action. (link in bio) Mabuhay!

A very happy 100th birthday to one of my all-time favorite artists and biggest inspirations @natkingcolemusic. One of the greatest vocalists, jazz pianists, showmen, entertainers, EVER. A true pioneer and hero. I've always loved how when you listen to Nat sing, you can hear him smile. I encourage all of you out there to do a deep dive on Nat- his history, his impact, his television show, and of course, his music.

Any @sagaftra actor can attest- it takes a village. I’m so proud to have been part of such a stellar ensemble of performers... Not a single one of which I truly didn’t have a GREAT time with. The cast of @americancrimestoryfx was something truly special. Regardless if I actually had scenes with them or not, these are just SOME of the @sagaftra members that made this such an amazing experience for me, on and off camera. I hope they know that just in saying each of their names, I think fondly on our individual time together and am so grateful for their talent and warmth of spirit. THANK YOU!!!

She Just Laughed Because My Joke Lacked Comic Timing @weplaycomputers (link to song in bio) This is a song that my brother @charlescriss wrote more than 10 years ago after I dragged him to a Parkour class which caused his arm to dislocate. Shortly thereafter we went on a family vacation to Paris, where Chuck not only got to rock a sling, but a really dumb story explaining how it happened. I have loved this song for years. I love the reckless abandon of the whole structure, I love the garage rock feel, countered with the over-tuned vocals for flavor. Chuck’s attitude mixed with the vocal production has always stuck with me, and was insistent that we keep this new recording as close to the original demo as possible. I think we did a pretty good job.

I’m still #ALLIN4PR and support my pal @ricky_martin and his foundation in their continued effort to bring support to Puerto Rico this holiday season.

The sheer feat of what Bradley Cooper pulled off with @starisbornmovie is, to me, breathtaking, and probably the most arresting thing about the film as a whole . Movie musicals have about a million booby traps set for filmmakers to get their movies totally screwed up by. They are fucking HARD to make well. There’s a reason for why they‘re such a divisive category of film. But I gotta say, I really think Bradley nailed it across the board: SUPERB directing, thoughtful writing, a grounded and compelling performance, solid songwriting, committed singing & playing- he did it ALL. I wasn’t surprised, but nonetheless deeply impressed. Funny story: I’ve been lucky enough to have a few interactions with this guy in the past, and they were all totally cool, relaxed encounters. However, upon seeing him RIGHT after seeing the film- man, I was so blown away by what he accomplished that I mutated into a full-blown Dorkasaurus Rex. It was pretty incredible. I kinda lost my composure and started talking like someone I didn’t know. I believe the phenomenon is called being “starstruck.” Boy was I ever. I was literally rendered speechless. As I was trying to tell him how much I was moved by the film, I stepped out of my own body thinking, dude, get it together. But that’s what happens when you’ve been gobsmacked by something truly awesome. The lines of communication between how you feel and how you’d like to articulate yourself get totally short-circuited, and that’s what happened by way of the rocknroll depth charge that Bradley’s talent set off in that movie theater for me. I even took this derpy-ass picture as an exit strategy from having to hear myself speak anymore 🤦🏻‍♂️ … but despite myself, it’s nice being reminded that none of us are impervious to being awestruck. Even with people we’ve met before! People can do marvelous things, and they can blow your mind into another experience of yourself. It’s honestly why I love going to the movies. It’s a wild and inspiring feeling.

It’s been about a month since I saw @starisbornmovie but it has still stayed with me. So in honor of its release this weekend I just wanted to post something saying how deeply moved and inspired I was by it. Everyone brought their A-Game. Of course @ladygaga is wonderful. No surprises there. And what a thrill it is to get to see a lead actress in a big blockbuster movie musical really really really sing her ass off. It makes a HELLUVA difference. I’m gonna post a separate ode to Bradley Cooper, but I’m gonna say on the record that the whole meet cute sequence is now one of my favorite film moments ever. I felt like I was watching a classic for the first time. Now regardless of how you end up feeling about the movie, whatever issues you might have with it- all I know is that it came out TODAY and right now, I can hear people somewhere outside my window singing the songs at the top of their lungs, having a GREAT time. If that’s not the sign of an instant classic I don’t know what else is. Bravo and congrats everyone involved in #astarisborn . Special shoutout to @iammarkronson & @killrossomando , and the venerable @jasonisbell for some excellent songwriting. I can’t wait to see it again … Who’s goin with me?

To celebrate @elsiefest 2018, I finally recorded my version of “One Fine Day.” Not only is it a pop music classic, it’s also now a bonafide musical theater song as well. Has always been a favorite of mine. (Link to watch in bio)

That time I had to buzz my head on camera but still had weeks of shooting left where my hair was supposed to be longer. Getting this thang on and off was always funny, slash, super impressive to watch. Movie Magic! 11/18/17 1:02pm

This was taken after shooting one of my favorite scenes in #ACSVersace. @jonjonbriones and I had cause to celebrate a great day’s work. [10/14/17, 6:07pm, Los Angeles] Cheers to a pretty rad year for Asian representation in film/tv! 🍻

A Ryan Murphy crossover. American Stories collide with the great @calebfoote bridging the gap- making his TV debut right outta college and shooting both shows at the same time. Go Blue! And I’m not just talkin about @EvanPeters hair! 08/23/17 8:16pm

One of the coolest shots ever. Literally on top of the world. Skiing. A cold beer. A beautiful view. Chewing a cinnamon stick for no other reason other than it just came with all the other awesome stuff. In one of my favorite countries. 🇯🇵 12/22/17 11:54am

Thanks @directv for letting @charlescriss and I (aka @weplaycomputers) crash the 25th year anniversary touchdown for #NFLSundayTicket! I don’t know how strong my #DTVinfluencer status is, but hopefully it’s strong enough to get @rsherman25 to bring the @49ers to Super Bowl 2019!

Wow. And a huge congrats to my fellow cast and crew of @americancrimestoryfx! @mrrpmurphy does it again!

That time it was the last day of shooting and we spent the morning on a treacherous dock trying not to have bigass waves knock over our gear and our crew. Of course, meanwhile, I was busy enjoying the wind and doing a silly photo shoot of... I dunno, album cover rejects?

This was taken on one of the hottest days in April London had seen in about 20 years. All I wanted was to kick back in a pub somewhere and have a cold beer. But I was supposed to do a photo shoot. So we knocked out two birds with one stone. Or was it with one pint? Or was it two pints and one shot? 📷 shot, that is...

An honor to meet the man himself @giorgioarmani. Tried to express my appreciation in Italian as best I could in as little time I had. On the flipside of that, had a great time hangin with Taron Egerton whose career I’ve admired from afar for a while. Good lads all around!

Dear Australia, I just got back to the US after a truly wonderful first trip to your land. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I met a lot of great people, hung with some kangaroos & koalas, saw the incredible @a.j.holmes‪ in Book of Mormon (go see him in it if you can!), went to a Footy match (#PantherPride!), and oh yeah I talked a whole lot about #ACSVersace (which premieres next Thursday on @showcaseaustralia!) and played a lil special show at Eternity Playhouse. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ All in all it was such a great time, thank you for being so welcoming and I hope to see more of ya again soon!

So grateful to @dolcegabbana for including me at their table at the #MetGala. This Alta Sartoria jacket is a hand stitched, sequined replica of a mosaic inside the Duomo di Monreale in Palermo- a cathedral whose design influences were a combination of Norman-French, Byzantine and Arab styles; in other words, a combination of diverse, equally rich traditions that created something new and more majestic than the sum of their parts. Needless to say, it was an honor to represent that kind of cultural fusion on the red carpet. My one regret was not sneaking a photo of how incredible everyone looked at our table, if I may say so myself! I guess that image will just have to live on in my memory bank... along with many other great moments from a very special night. Thank you, D&G!

Just another dude with freshly painted nails pensively sitting on an old Cadillac with a license plate that’s misspelled the word ‘sausage.’ I know it’s overdone, but I was going for something classic.
