Olivia Culpo models a long white dress as she heads to bridal shops in Beverly Hills before her wedding to NFL star Christian McCaffrey That was the tone of things that night in the Metropole. Everything was just a little off, the way Cassius saw it. He never did feel the impulse to turn off his gloriously bored look and be a star. Which points up an interesting thing about Cassius’ attitude toward his own fame. On the one hand, he knows that his act—“I am the greatest”—is a piece of outrageous bombast and that one reason the public loves it is that they know no man could possibly mean it. It makes him a clown, a jester like Bobo Newsom, the bragging baseball player, who used to speak of himself in the third person, saying, “Ol’ Bobo is going to do such and such.” But on the other hand, Cassius doesn’t want the fuss to be made over him sheerly in his role as a clown. He wants to be thought of as a man who does the clown act consummately well, which is to say, an actor.
You know, his,” said the kid. He was getting embarrassed, but he still had traces of a knowing look salivating around the edges. Cassius was in Kapralik’s and Berniker’s hands as far as the record album was concerned, but he held a proprietary interest most of the way. I remember one piece of life-in-our-times tension that arose when the seven actors came into Studio A. At some points in the album they form a sort of Greek chorus. They also take part in skits, strictly routine stuff. Cassius was at what amounted to stage center. Seven chairs were set off to one side for the actors. As they trooped in, four men and three women, they barely looked at Cassius, refusing to be impressed, and right away you got the picture. Here they were, seven professional actors, most of whom had rounded the bend at thirty and had just begun to make names for themselves in a satirical revue called Second City, but there at stage center was the star of the show, a twenty-one-year-old Negro boxer.

He comes on gloriously bored. He wants to see the people come to him as the man who can do that act called “I am the greatest,” not as the man who is doing the act.

Princess Andre breaks silence on her seventh sibling as dad Peter prepares to welcome a new baby with wife Emily When Cassius brags about crowds, that’s the part he really means. He is a little like politicians that way. I once heard Abraham Ribicoff say that the thing politicians live for after awhile is not the publicity, pictures in the newspapers, television and so forth, or power in the sense of having control over important matters, but personal deference—the way people hop to it when you come around or move when you say move. I think Cassius has the same feeling. The kid edged off with his buddy and he was saying, “He said, ‘Don’t ever squeeze a fighter’s hand.’” Somehow I could see that kid growing up and on one of those interminable Sunday afternoons he will be trying to talk buddy-to-buddy with his own kid, or just to wipe the kid’s suppressed revolutionary sneer off his lips by seeming more than a forty-four-year-old drudge in a short-sleeve sport shirt, and the conversation will get, or be dragged, around to the subject of physical conditioning, and he will say, “You know, one thing you ought to remember, never squeeze a fighter’s hand when you shake hands with him.” Aw, maybe two or three more years,” he told me. “Maybe then I’ll go in the movies. I don’t know. I haven’t thought about it.” Married at First Sight UK's Peggy Rose and GeorgesBerthonneau confirm they ARE still together after fans feared they'd split following reunionThe trouble with the role of just being great, however, is that it is not negotiable. People can love a bragging athlete, because being supreme is an athlete’s business. The whole point of following sports is to enjoy a little harmless identification with aggression and supremacy, and if an athlete announces that he is the greatest, a man can identify with that, too, and even pray for him to prove it. But when the braggart moves over into any other field, even the stage, a veritable D.P. camp for egotists, it becomes a little edgy. People are glad when Jeanne Eagels, in the movie, gets hers. And a lot of people would be glad to see Sinatra or Bobby Darin get his. The point is, Cassius can’t carry the same act into another field—unless, of course, he can retire as an undefeated champion, announcing that he is now heading into the wide world to become the greatest everything. Past Lives comes up victorious at Gotham Awards 2023 for Best Feature ... while Charles Melton and Lily Gladstone claim night's biggest acting honors Singers kept turning up wherever Cassius went in New York, or else he kept turning up where they were. Jerry Vale would drop by and show him a new album, and they would joke awhile. He got to know Lloyd Price, the Negro singer, and then there were the trips to the Metropole and so forth. At one point, when I asked Cassius why he was making all these rounds, he said, “Aw, I just go in there for the publicity,” then he added, “and the show business and everything. I wanna get used to that. I may be doing that someday.” Prince William breaks cover as he arrives at the Tusk Conservation Awards - amid Omid Scobie's claims he rejected opportunities to meet Prince Harry Emerald Emma!
