Rosario Dawson had an "I’m getting old" experience…it happens to all of us.
ROSARIO DAWSON refused to mentor younger actor BRANDON T. JACKSON when he turned to her for career advice in Hollywood – because his plea for wisdom made her feel old.
The pair co-star in new adventure fantasy film Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, and Jackson looked to his female lead for movie guidance. But 30-year-old Dawson shunned his attempts to become her protégé and forced the 24 year old to settle for friendship.
She explains, "I never felt older on a movie before this one… Brandon asked, ‘Would you be my mentor?’ And I think I sprouted a grey hair when he said that. I was like, ‘Dude! I’m five years older than you! I will be your friend and give you good information but I’m not going to be your mentor.’ I got an ache in my back as soon as he said it."
