8 minTim explains skipping an audition by claiming he had a stomach bug, then getting caught by his manager after posting an Instagram video of the elaborate Italian meal (eggplant rollatini and more) he ate that same night, forcing him into increasingly absurd cover lies.
- 5:19Tim skipped an audition claiming he had the stomach bug, which he admits he likely fabricated.
- 6:12The idea of leaving the house making you feel sick is probably a disease more serious than a physical ailment.
- 6:32Tim claims he's used the stomach bug excuse to get out of three things in a week, despite never actually getting sick.
- 7:39Once he felt well enough to leave the house, Tim went to an Italian restaurant and spent $108 on eggplant rollatini, veal dishes, and ravioli.
- 9:03Tim bombed an ABC audition and made an awkward joke about 7-Eleven brookies to other actors in the waiting room.
- 10:03His manager confronts him: if you're claiming to be sick and can't attend auditions, you can't post eggplant rollatini on Instagram.
- 10:26Tim's defense is that half his Instagram photos aren't even real—he just reposts pictures people send him to build his brand.
- 11:05The manager points out that Tim uploaded not just a photo but a video of the restaurant, making the lie even worse.
- 12:00Manager worries: what if the director following Tim on social media sees him posting restaurants when he claimed to be too sick for an audition?
- 12:24Most people get caught cheating on someone; Tim got caught eating eggplant rollatini instead of going to an audition.
