Aaron Yoo is back on the big screen, this time as a college kid who takes to wheeling and
dealing at the blackjack table. Yoo plays Choi, a brilliant but wild klepto, in "21," the film
inspired by the real-life story of card-counting MIT students who took Vegas for millions.
As for Yoo's own real life, well, he may never beat the house, but he sure can dream about
what he'd do with the money. Here's his million-dollar wish list:
$984,908
$1,000
$500
$500
$5,000
$3,000
$60
$2 bill
$5,000
$30
would go to my friend's medical bills. She was recently diagnosed with brain cancer.
Beyond the emotional cost, brain surgery and chemo are expensive.
to fix the dent on the top of my Prius made by the deer that thought crossing Mulholland
Drive was an Olympic hurdling event.
would go to anybody who can get me one of those limited edition Basquiat sneakers that I
keep missing.
for a custom pair of kicks with Monet's "The Magpie" printed on 'em. In fact, if anybody
wants to start a business custom printing fine art onto Nike Air Forces or Reebok pumps,
hit me up on Myspace or Facebook. I'll be your best customer.
to fly to Tokyo and eat at this old school - and I mean Edo-period old school - yakitori
joint off this alley in Ropponggi I hit up back in the day. Most fun, tastiest meal I ever had I
think.
for a new sound system for my room. The flat screen is living up to the PS3. The speakers
are not.
for wild Maine blueberry pancakes, truffle fried eggs, two milkshakes, and two lattes at
Clinton Street Baking Company on the lower east side of NYC.
I got a $2 bill from a valet yesterday. They're good luck supposedly, so I'm hoping that
means coming my way is a cool chica who digs pancakes and eggs on a weekday
afternoon.
for a trip to Milan and tickets to the Milan Derby. Can you pay money to ensure an Inter
victory? Oh right, it's Italy, of course you can.
for a paint set. I don't have a paint set.
