MrBeast's Obsessive Drive
Share
Sam Parr shares a story about MrBeast's obsessive personality and commitment to action.
"I remember at 11 PM at night someone mentioned basketball and how excited he was to play basketball. Jimmy goes 'Let's just go right now.' We're like 'What dude, it's like 11 o'clock.'
He goes 'Yeah yeah yeah, let's figure it out.' As he said that, his assistants were calling high school gyms trying to wake up the principals, being like 'Hey, I'll give you $5 if we can come play basketball right now.'
I was like 'No dude, I don't want to do that, it sounds like hell.' But he was serious - he wanted to go do it. It was crazy."
