RSVIP: World Premiere of "The Sorcerer's Apprentice"

Filed under: Events

During one of Manhattan¹s hottest evenings on record, our invitation to the world premiere of "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" read:"Experience the coolest job ever in the heart of Times Square." The temperature on July 6, the afternoon of the screening, hit 103 degrees Fahrenheit, and it didn't feel any cooler standing in the breath of 42nd Street traffic beside the red carpet. Hence, Luxist decided to seize the sizzling day and ask VIP celebrities what the coolest job they could ever imagine would be.

"I like anything to do with the water . . . the ocean," said Nicolas Cage, star of the film, standing with his beautiful wife, Alice Kim, his hair tinged blond. "The deadliest catch," he added. "I have a lot of respect for the snow crab fishermen, Alaska king crab... for anyone out there trying to help the environment. Those are my dream jobs."

"Right now," answered Kelly Choi, the sexy hostess of "Top Chef Masters," inspired by the outdoor sauna, "I should be a pool tester. I should be testing whether they are cool enough or not."

"Oh, being a hairdresser," quipped Helen Mirren, also on the carpet. She had sported a particularly severe coif when she played the title role in "The Queen."

A somewhat stout Cedric the Entertainer also replied to our query. "A coveted NBA player like LeBron James, though I know I'm a little short for that one," he said, laughing. "I can't dunk. I don't know if I could even do a layup right now."

Jay Baruchel, of "She's Out of Your League" fame, who stars opposite Cage in the movie, said that he would simply like to "direct horror movies in Montreal . . . that's all I've ever wanted." Why Montreal? "That's where I live," he explained.
