- Oh my God, moved into the loft.
It's bad.
What!
I can't wait for you guys to see this.
You're going to die.
(rock music)
- There's a lot more to Eric than his looks.
He's a wonderful person.
You know, he's got an incredible body and the face,
and everything, but he just as much
is an incredible person on the inside.
- Everyone should be attracted Eric.
I mean, forget dogs, cats, men, women, whoever.
- He gon' eat my shorts.
- I wanna pass the mic to Eric.
- What do you mean, I don't know what to say!
- Just make up something,
that's part of being a hip hop artist!
- Make it up?
Go ahead Rob, kick the beat!
- I'ma sound real dumb.
I need my headphones to keep me going.
I got some funky fresh for you.
My lyrics are cold.
My rhymes are hot.
I've got something beneath my sock.
It don't smell, it's pretty good.
I don't know what you call, but I think I need some,
pudding.
- Eric took care of me that whole day, really.
He wasn't gonna let me be sad.
He was going to go to any extreme, to cheer me up.
Even if it was playing Andre's guitar with a hat on.
♪ I got them Alabama blues for Julie ♪
(whooping)
- Or acting like a chicken.
(clucking)
You're the guy from the See n' Say!
- How can you describe Eric?
Eric's like somebody's brother.
- Hey Heather, give me that towel!
- That's not yours!
- Huh?
- That's not yours!
- Bull (beep)!
(upbeat music)
- This is
(mumbles)
disposable and absorbent.
- Julie!
If we had laundry detergent I'd be able to wash the towels.
Oh you know what was probably the funniest night for me,
the night that we went to Limelight
and when we came back here,
everybody piled in my bed
and Kevin had to wake up real early that morning.
And Kev was screaming.
- It's one o'clock in the morning,
I'm trying to go to sleep!
- Not my room!
- No, no, no!
(people hollering)
- Eric's like young male.
(whooping)
- Been modeling for about a year in New York,
just recently started to get into commercials.
So it was like, the music goes,
and I'm like ripping off her clothes.
She's pulling off my shirt and she's pulling my pants down
and we're going all crazy.
And it was a show on my commercial I did for
Jovan Musk cologne, and it was on Closer Look.
(audience clapping)
They didn't think that the commercial was edited enough
for TV.
- Even when you were making this,
you were aware that he was going to cause a fuss.
- Yeah, I think that's, that's why
that's why I liked doing it.
That's the best part of it.
So what do you guys think?
- I think you should keep your clothes on, guy.
- I'm going to take them off as much as possible.
(upbeat music)
(camera clicking)
One thing led to another
and we were touching and grabbing each other.
And then we started kissing for some reason.
And I didn't have any problem with it.
She didn't seem to have any problem with it.
So we went with it, we went, and went and went.
- Can you two swap phone numbers now?
- What, oh no, did I win, am I stud?
Tarryn was going shopping.
She wanted me to go to this store.
I think it was on St. Mark's street or whatever,
but it was like all this like rocker stuff.
- Okay, here we have your pants.
- Those will not fit me.
It's perfect, you gotta try them on.
- No, no way.
- You've gotta do it.
- No way!
- You've gotta do it, you totally have to do it.
- It was rocker stuff to the fullest.
I feel bad.
Yeah she likes it.
You know, you gotta do what you gotta do.
You know, when you know, you gotta please the women.
- Metal boy!
- Do you remember your first kiss?
- Oh my first kiss?
No I don't...
- Do you remember the girl?
- Yeah.
- Do you remember what she looked like and stuff?
- Yup, like I can remember the first girl I kissed
when I was like seven years old.
Like that had more, that meant more to me
than the first girl that I had sex with.
- What?
- Yup.
I can't remember, I don't remember.
I mean, if I really, really thought about it
and, I don't, I can't, I don't remember.
- You just been screwin' all your life.
- No, no, no.
- People take different attitude towards
people that are actors
and models because they think that they're
like, a step up from everybody, and in reality,
you know, we're no different to anybody else.
You know, we're human too.
Missy is like, my oldest like, love from like seventh grade.
And we've had big, big problems.
Like for the last ever since we met.
Hey, don't say that you're coming here and don't come.
Cool, you guys should come in like Saturday.
When I was about 18 years old,
I left high school and I got in trouble with the law
and I really screwed up, you know, like I finally
you know, tried, you know, to convince her that, you know,
I wasn't screwing around or whatever, and,
- Were you?
- No, I wasn't not at all.
'Cause I was serious.
It's just that I wasn't in the right state of mind.
I was a bad boy then.
And I had to straighten myself out
and that's where my relationship got screwed up.
And then I went out there for like three months,
and I went away to Miami and I was down there
with my friends and I was partying, partying, partying,
with all my friends going crazy.
And she was there too, and I didn't pay no mind to her.
And I just like totally screwed up big time.
And then all through the summer,
yeah, it's all my fault!
- She saw a side of you already that she didn't like.
She know what you can be like.
So me personally,
I wouldn't really believe what you were saying.
I'll go out here and try to get mine 'til,
I thought, you know, you was really, really serious.
- So you're saying, I'd have to convince her?
- I say, don't convince nobody, but
- But I want to, I mean, like I care about her.
I'm trying to get her to understand
that I'm for real, and it's taken, it's taken a while,
but I'm going to, I'm going to let it go you know,
I'm just gonna go with it,
and however long it takes, I'm gonna wait.
Missy got to the apartment
and she came upstairs in the elevator and she walked out.
I mean, I don't know what it is,
but every time I look at this girl and I see her smile,
I just feel like the whole room is like,
is glowing and there's lighting up.
And I feel like my face is lighting up too.
I don't know if I'm in love, but if love is, is thinking
about somebody 24 hours a day, and when you hear a song
or you see a car or, you know, you get all these flashbacks
and stuff, to stuff that's happened with this person.
Then I guess I am in love.
I'm very mad at you.
- But you're not.
- The US Surgeon General's recommends increased consumption
of complex carbohydrates.
- I just think it's a shame that I know there's more to you
than the ingredients and stuff on these boxes.
- You know that?
- And I like what I know,
and I just want everyone to have that opportunity.
- Well I don't want everybody to know that.
- Why?
- 'Cause then people take advantage of me.
- Eric is just one of those people
that can't express himself
because he's too caught up in his, on the outside.
- And then, you know, it's just certain things.
There's lot of, there's just certain things in here
that just piss me off.
- Say it, man.
I mean, even though I don't,
after I say certain things to certain people,
man, I even regret it sometimes,
then I'm like (beep) it, I feel better,
you know what I mean?
- There are just some people in here,
they're like, you know, what's on my mind.
- Yeah, but I feel like I'm the only one.
- No, Julie knows, I talked to Julie about it.
But you're the only two people that I feel
that I could talk to about things like this.
(rock music)
When I was 18, I was still in my house,
19, I was still at my house,
where my mom living in there,
commuting, going to the city.
So this is the first time that I've ever been
out of my house.
You know, living with, you know,
with roommates that I have never met before, you know.
- There's a certain plunge you take,
and you just gotta go by the seat of your pants.
And it's, if you look at it in a way
that it's exciting, because you know,
you know inside what you believe in, and who you are,
and it's kind of putting yourself
to a certain amount of task.
- He said he was going back home during the summer
And I think, I think he shouldn't.
I think he should stay out, and see what everything
is really about without that kind of cushion.
Because it can hurt you in the end.
- It is time for Eric to see it all.
I want to go in!
This is not fair.
I love all you guys.
Please, I'm not going away.
I want to come in!
- The Great Eye says you can't come in.
- John!
- He was itching to get into that room,
there was no way you were going to stop him.
- I want to open the door.
I want a jacket and Levis, I want hip pouches,
- We need reinfocements!
- And I'm out of here!
- Run, run, run!
Julie's here, reinforcements!
Break into the room!
- Hey, brown fox, you open the door!
- We got Julie here
(laughing)
(people cheering)
- Oh my God!
- You guys can launch space shuttles from here,
am I right?
- You guys can launch space,
look at us, there we are, that's me!
That is me!
No!
Who is it?
Look out!
- Becky, he's gonna drop his bed down that window.
He's gonna drop that bed.
He's gonna drop it.
- This is the real world.
This is what happens, no scripts,
nobody's telling you what to do,
you know, there's no cue cards or, you know, nothing.
This is, this is it.
And I don't know if the point's going to get across in here,
but I hope it does because you know, this is real.
