Conan's Crush - Rebecca Romijn - 1997

We're all back, my next guest tonight has been featured in several Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issues. I have them all and she can currently be seen here on the cover of GQ with Dennis Rodman. This is a fascinating portrait right here. Hey, look at that. that's right, america, that's what it's all about, please, welcome, she's the one in front,

rebecca

romain, let's get her out here, I must tell you, thank you very much for coming back, you look lovely having me back, wow, that's good having you here, prerequisite, water bottle that's good no model is a model without one they just drink water constantly that's what's fashionable eat always that's all you drink is water constantly because some models maintain that oh everything I know, you know, I'm a pig, I eat hamburgers and hot dogs and goulash and beef chili and I just have this natural figure, I drink this and I also eat air-popped popcorn, okay, that's it, it's a complete diet , yeah, let me ask you, let me ask you about the GQ cover because This is, uh, this is quite interesting, it's very striking, it really catches your attention, you're here in front of Dennis Rodman and you have two of his hands, I guess they're painted On your breasts, that's how it worked, yeah.

Well it actually took me three and a half hours, the artist who demoted to iron, if you remember the Vanity Fair cover with Demi Moore, yes I have it, yes the same artist painted this and it only took you to get that job , I mean, that's what I did. I'm curious to know that she is a painter and makeup artist and she knows Terry Gary. Yeah, I thought I was kind of fresh out of college. All you have to do is apply. Nobody else calls you. You will make a living painting beautiful women's breasts. If we can. only allow you to give you 800,000 a year to work like twice every 10 years no, that's not true, it's a good job, I would want it, eh, how did they do it?

You were presented with this idea. What happened? I mean, how did they do it initially? They told me: you know Rodman, they're going to take a photo of him with his hands on your breasts and I'm not, thank you, not in this lifetime because in a way I went, I had this meeting with Art Cooper, whose editor he is. -head of gq and I was going to go and actually fight him, it was dennis robin in particular, like you don't like him or just the idea of ​​any strange man if he had walked into the room at that moment. period, but I mean him, okay, any chance of that no, I just didn't want to, I enjoy working with him, but anyway, what happened was he, our Cooper, said no, no, it's a travesty , you know, it's meant to make fun of those. pictures you've seen on, you know the Rolling Stone cover with Janet Jackson and you know those pictures you see of guys with their hands on, so anyway it looks, I won't work, I won't work, it'll be joyful, it's supposed to be right , now, do they make any promises to you, do they have to guarantee, well, you won't see this, you'll see that, well, yeah, I mean, I really bugged the editors to make sure everything was airbrushed.

I know like nipples, okay? you can say nipples, I can say nipples, we've established that you can say nipples in, you could have said nipple in your segment, it seems to be the distinguishing factor between nudity and non-nudity, so since I wanted to do I was sure there would be no nipples, so They sent you like a contract or something, not really, I kept calling and I kept saying, you have a word, there will be no nipples, there will be no nipples and I said, "You know what we were." on the set and I said, you know what?

Your word isn't good enough, so I called Art Cooper and told him I'd actually feel more comfortable if it was in writing, so he sends me this data half an hour later and says, uh. I promise you no one will ever see a nipple on gq that belongs to you and if the offending areola shows I promise we will make it go away and then he signed it and that was like me and my legitimate officer. It was like sitting there imagining Art Cooper like looking for a rhyme for areola, you know, rc cola, that's what I would have chosen as an ayatollah, there you go, I'll write some poems about your breasts, I'll do it right now, I'll be right.

Back um, I already have some, yeah, now, uh, oh, come on, we're just kidding around here. Are you still with uh, still with John Stamos? I know you two have been dating for a long time, that relationship is falling apart. However, what is happening? Why

conan

? Oh, I don't know. I'm going to do this for the next 40 minutes. There will be no show after tonight. Tell them to cancel later tonight. It will be a full hour. Conan is an ass in front of a beautiful woman uh no, but their relationship is going well I hope uh, like he's a good guy, he's a good guy, he's wonderful, yeah, you guys will be together, it's okay for a while, yeah, Yeah, well, me too, he's in Los Angeles, yeah, okay, he's far away. away so what's going on maybe I feel trouble maybe I mean he's in LA and you're in New York so maybe there's a problem maybe he's not paying enough attention you're sitting here paying attention that's right And where is he?

I see it because I don't see John Stable. I don't see it there. No, what's going on? He is not there when the cat is not there. The mice play. I must say this is the most unprofessional behavior I have ever exhibited on television. I know it's wrong she's in a good relationship he's a good guy and he's 3,000 miles away we're going to rock and baby I don't know if I should have done this cover yeah it's the cover that did it I'm getting ready for the interview for hours looking at the cover and then I have to keep you well, I'm calm now I'm fine, it was what we ended up talking about in this interview, we didn't talk about anything, but you had a good time, right?, I had a It was a great moment, it was like a date that went well, thank you so much for being on the show, it was a pleasure meeting you and you met me three times before I know it, I'm just saying I had a good time.

And I hope you had a good time too. I had a great time. I thought the movie was great. Alright. I'm calm. Now let's take a little break.
