Here's The Awkward Exchange That Occurred After Someone Accidentally Texted Actor Michael Cera

Nov 19, 2013, 01:58 IST

Neilson Barnard/GettyMichael Cera would not let the conversation die after a stranger accidentally texted him.

"Juno" and "Superbad" actor Michael Cera is known for playing awkward, bumbling characters.

And it appears his art is somewhat imitating life, as revealed in an incredibly uncomfortable exchange between the actor and a stranger who accidentally texted him one day.

Cera explains in a New Yorker piece titled "My Man Jeremy": "One day I received a text message from a phone number I did not recognize. Intrigued, I replied, and thus began an intimate and illuminating correspondence."

It starts innocently enough:

UNKNOWN NUMBER 12/5 9:46 PM

MICHAEL 12/5 9:46 PM

hi oops I don't know this number. I'm Michael, who is this?

UNKNOWN NUMBER 12/5 9:58 PM

MICHAEL 12/7 5:41 PM

yes except I spell it with capital letters at the beginning of my first and last names, kind of like a display of common respect kind of thing

MICHAEL 12/7 11:48 PM

but yeah I'm that Michael Cera. . .

The two go on to discuss partying, and Cera even ends up going to meet Jeremy at a party months later - and then hooking up with his girlfriend. Ultimately, Jeremy ends up changing his number. The Internet seems to find the 4-page exchange hilarious, however I think Cera comes off as very condescending and says "haha" and "hehe" so often that it feels creepy. Read it here and judge for yourselves.
