First time in Scotland. #ArrivingInStyle #GetToTheChopper

Island’s beautiful, but guarded like Area 51 or somethin. Check

out these guys. #MP5 #HecklerKoch

En route to junket. Check out the castle. Wonder if Nosferatu’s

home?

They laid on AAALLL the goodies. #Champagne #Caviar

Look who else is here! #OldBuddies

#SummerBlockbusterBoys

Gotta say, the grand dame does NOT look seventy years old.

Must be black magic. She’s givin a great speech. Can’t wait for

screening tomorrow. #director #visionary

Any of yall know what this is? Just got back to my room n found

it painted on my door. Looks like some voodoo sh*t. Maybe I

was right about the dame? #Witchcraft

Ok, I’m seriously freaked out right now. The thing on the door

ok, but the bathroom mirror? Moss, if you’re playin with me, Ima

get you back.

What the hell you paint this with, Moss? Your own blood?

@JamesLeGibbon Jim I need sleep man. Champagne wiped

me out.

Tryin to get to sleep and this security guy knocks on my door, tells

me to get showered and put on a robe. WTF? Guess it’s part of

publicity stunt like Dunger said. #TheThingsWeDo #ActorsLife
