When in Hawaii, I guess!

I'm not exaggerating when I say she's a legend and an icon.
Brain fully worms I cannot stop watching this, her “hi” is music to my ears, it is perhaps the funniest thing I have ever seen

"Quite a few years back, I did come to Hawaii, and — when you come and you're on vacation alone, you can kind of create anything you want," she explained, and it's safe to say my interest was piqued.

It turns out Jennifer Coolidge once pretended to be her own identical twin so she could date two men at the same time.

She explained that many years ago, while vacationing in Hawaii alone, she met two guys — who were best friends — and liked them both, so told them she was a twin.

"I ended up meeting these two guys that were best friends, and I liked them both, and so I told them that I had an identical twin," Jennifer said.
"I dated both guys," she went on. "For two weeks."
Reflecting on the experience, Jennifer said she likely "wouldn't have the guts" to do it now, but that "at the time it was a really great decision."

"You know, when you're younger, you just get away with anything," she concluded.
Icon behavior, I think you'll agree.
