Sounds manic

[Brakke]

I came in thinking it'd be "insane" as in "goofy and fun" but actually this is "insane" as in "unhinged and sad".

 

[>:)]

Dude could seriously start a religion with that 1x1 comment alone.

 

[Bartholomuse]

the square root of 2 is 1

o-n-e

Go on, I'm intrigued.

 

[JeTmAn81]

I can see where he is coming from.

When you multiply 1 times 1, lets say it's written as

1 X 1

There are 2 1s. As in 2. Its a pretty interesting way of looking at mathematics. This could pretty much change the field of human science.

Hence why I say he needs to realize that multiplication is actually just addition.

Well, now you got me thinking. There's also a "X" in "1x1"

As we know "X" could be pretty much anything in math. So, really, 1x1 = ANYTHING.

Damn. Thanks, Terrence!

 

[Battersea Power Station]

What is the connection between math skills and acting?

They told him "Terry, your salary for the Iron Man sequel will be your previous salary multiplied by 1."

So he thought that meant he was getting double the pay and they got into a big argument.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

I thought we all knew that after the first Iron Man came out.

 

[Tobor]

This explains why he thought he was worth as much as RDJ. Lol.

Marvel Studios dodged a bullet getting rid of him.

 

[teruterubozu]

Jamie Foxx on Terrence Howard

lol. That's spot on.

 

[Monocle]

I thought the OP was exaggerating, but nope.

What is the connection between being an insane asshole and people not wanting to work with you?

 

[OpinionatedCyborg]

Though he did not complete his engineering degree, Howard thinks of himself as an engineer and intends to return one day to complete the "three credits" of which he is currently short.[2][23][24][25] Howard's account of his educational history has not been confirmed; Pratt Institute, which he says he attended, closed its engineering degree program in 1993.[26] On February 26, 2013, Howard said on Jimmy Kimmel Live! that he had earned a Ph.D. in chemical engineering from South Carolina State University that year. Although he was awarded a Doctorate of Humane Letters from SCSU in 2012, he never attended the university and never earned a degree in chemical engineering.[24]

hmmm

It's multiplication. The expression 'X' is asking you for the sum of the values timed by themselves, not the single componentry value

By this and Howards logic 8 X 7 = 56...or actually 15. But it's not.

Damn. Thanks, Terrence!

Don't thank Terence, thank...Terrology

 

[Dreavus]

It's super bizarre how fixated he is on 1 x 1.

Nobody show him the .999~ = 1 stuff. Heads will roll.

 

[Vorheez]

This is genuinely sad. I hope he gets help.

It terrifies me to think that this can happen seemingly overnight. One day you're ok, life is good, but then something traumatic happens... And your brain starts reorganizing how you perceive life. He probably didn't even realize it was happening.

 

[Shanlei91]

He's punched out strangers in a restaurant. He's said to have knocked at least two of his women around, most recently ex-wife Michelle Ghent, who after a 2013 trip to Costa Rica with Howard was photographed with a black eye.

This thread is about his math skills. Yes.

 

[King Tubby]

Someone should ask him to calculate the volume of a unit time cube.

 

[triplestation]

Go on, I'm intrigued.

ONE

O = 15th letter

N = 14th letter

E = 5th letter

O-N-E

O minus N plus E

O - N + E

15 - 14 + 5 = 6

square root of 2 is 1

6 + 2 + 1 = 9

1 x 1 =2

1 x 1

9/1 x 1

9/11

 

[Battersea Power Station]

They said "Terry, the new movie will be called Iron Man 2" and he said "That's ridiculous. It's literally the same title as before. How will people know the difference?"

He's apparently been going on about 1x1=2 since he was in college.

Sounds like he's always needed help but his charisma and success has insulated him from real consequences.

I'm also tempted to have sympathy for him, but then I read the stuff about domestic abuse.

 

[Battersea Power Station]

On set, they asked the cast to line up 1 by 1 at the lunch trailer and he kept trying to squeeze in next to everyone.

Nah that's just some munching on Cheetoes while being high logic.

Iron Man 1 x 1 would have been terrible whether he was in it or not.

Half-Life 3 confirmed

 

[B-Dubs]

Is this the new timecube?

 

[Dead Prince]

I played basketball with him once. He wanted to play 1 vs. 10. Yup, dude is nuts.

were you in jail?

 

[Battersea Power Station]

What is the connection between math skills and acting?

When signing his contract they asked for a form of ID and he looked them straight in the eyes and said "I don't believe in identity. The identity is an illusion perpetuated by math teachers throughout the world. I won't work under these circumstances."

 

[teruterubozu]

were you in jail?

Nah, it was at the Burbank Rec Center. It was right after he did "Angel Eyes" w/J-Lo. Long time ago.

Jamie Foxx on Terrence Howard

:mygod

 

[dankir]

What is it about actors and tv personalities just turning out to be completely fucking bonkers and wayyyyyyyyyy out there?

Terrance Howard
Jaden Smith
Nick Nolte
the list goes on.

Why can't they just be plain normal people?

Sorry to butt in but you forgot to carry the one.

Nope you are mistaking for the X as a variable unto itself. The componentry value supercedes logistical acquisition of sums as it relates to a quotient product.

 

[Dynomutt]

I know what I just read is nonsense. But because of the seriousness in his tone my mind is still blown.

I don't know what to say. I mean I had to read that a few times. Him, Graham Hancock, Joe Rogan, Jaden Smith, and why not Rowdy Rhonda. That would be one heck of a round table.

 

[Akuun]

How on earth did he find a wife who would actually put up with this insanity with him?

 

[Sub_Level]

Joe Rogan

 

[ruxtpin]

lol more please.

 

[PeskyToaster]

I hope everyone reads the whole article because wow. It's insane, sad, and fascinating.

 

[Permanently A]

Losing that Marvel money must have really hurt.

 

[Salsa]

this couldnt be less surprising for some reason

 

[User1608]

This pretty sad and pathetic.

 

[CloudyTuba]

Is this for real? That sounds like someone made a real effort make up the craziest shit they could. Like, you'd have to go out of your way to be this crazy. It's got a little of everything including the old classic: Crystals.

Someone this crazy should probably be taken and held somewhere for help.

 

[dankir]

Cuz he has money?

Hey man... Make fun of the math all you want, but you leave crystals out of it. Crystals will fucking blow your mind.

His impression of Howard is so good.

 

[Freeza Under The Shower]

you know, I thought this topic was going to hyperbole or in jest. Then I read that first quote. The I read the second. The I read that line of context and what followed.

Good lord the title wasn't kidding.

 

[Battersea Power Station]

He said, "Baby, even if I just have 1 times the money I had yesterday, our bank account will double every single day. Do you realize within a month we can hire Bill Gates to clean our toilets?"
