Mark Hoppus and Tom Delonge remember almost getting M. Night Shyamalan to direct a Blink-182 video on 'After School Radio'
“Because we appreciate dick jokes in a way that no one else does,” DeLonge quipped. “It boils down to only that, there is nothing else. It’s that, in my opinion.” Hoppus, obviously, agreed, adding, “I think so, because the first time that we met, I think it was dick jokes from the beginning in your garage.”
Hoppus and DeLonge went on to share an array of stories from their Blink-182 days, such as the time DeLonge approached Shyamalan at a hotel restaurant in Japan and asked if he’d want to direct a video for the band. “Within half an hour, we’re all sitting together and he’s coming up with ideas for a Blink video,” Hoppus recalled. “And I mean, he did come up with a whole treatment and everything.
DeLonge added a few moments later, “I think when he found out what music video budgets really were, he was like, this is so beneath me. No, he didn’t say that, but of course, he was like, I’m not going to do this, this is a nightmare.” In discussing DeLonge’s fearlessness, the pair also touched on his work in the UFO world, the time he drunkenly interviewed Mel Gibson for MTV, and how he managed to convince local high schools to book Blink-182 by claiming they were a group with a “motivational edge.”
“I remember calling those high schools,” DeLonge said. “It was like anti-drug, alcohol message or something. Whatever it took, that’s kind of how… You know what’s fun about being young though, is you’re not aware of the ramifications of what you do. You can really get away with anything if you don’t really know what’s going to happen to you for it. And I’m always trying new things for that reason. Blink was very much like that.
