And while the audience watches the characters build a passionate romance, no real intimate scenes between Dennis and Andrea are featured in "Good on Paper."According to Hansen, he tried to make a case to include some. "Yeah, I was pitching those," Hansen joked during a recent Zoom interview with Insider.He continued, "I was like, 'We should have lovemaking scenes. We should have lovemaking scenes.' And Iliza was like, 'We're not doing that, Ryan.'""So, I lost on that," Hansen quipped.Jokes aside, the "Veronica Mars" actor added that he isn't sure why the couple's steamier moments were excluded from the movie, suggesting that "maybe just no one wants to see that."<div type="image" title="Iliza Shlesinger, Margaret Cho, Ryan Hansen in a &quot;good on paper&quot; bar scene" height="2680" width="4020" msid="83775140" hostid="261"></div><h2>Hansen took the other characters' harsh insults about Dennis in stride</h2>When Hansen joined the "Good on Paper" cast, he was signing up to be a self-absorbed villain masquerading as a major catch. "I really enjoyed being able to be the guy that's the underdog and the weirdo and a little off-beat. I really enjoyed playing that because a lot of times, I pretend like I'm the cool guy," he told Insider.To transform into Dennis, a character based on one of Shlesinger's real-life exes, Hansen tweaked his appearance, wearing fake teeth and wrapping extra padding around his stomach to give the illusion that he had a "little gut."Dennis' looks served as the punchline for numerous jokes, many of which painted him as a seemingly more stable but less attractive option for Andrea, a comedian caught in a cycle of chasing handsome, unavailable men.The protagonist's best friend Margot (Margaret Cho) calls Dennis "ugly," his roommate says "the image of him engaging in lovemaking is horrifying," and, at one point, a camera pans over his naked torso while Andrea explains that he has a "charm to him when his clothes were on" (Hansen told Insider that they used a body double for Dennis during the pool scene).<div type="image" title="dennis kelly (played by ryan hansen) and andrea singer (played by iliza shlesinger) in good on paper airplane scene" height="1610" width="3840" msid="83775145" hostid="261"></div>The insults didn't perturb Hansen though, as the actor said he's practiced at separating his characters from himself."I don't feel that way about myself. I don't think they feel that way about me either, but with a little bit of the gut and the teeth - and just his personality is a little off anyway - so I think that makes him a little unattractive at times," he said. Hansen enjoyed portraying Dennis so much, in fact, that he said he'd love to reprise the role in a "Good on Paper" sequel."I will actually gain the real weight if I get to do a sequel and jack up my teeth for real," he said with a laugh.

Yet, the movie never specifies which parts of Andrea's nightmarish relationship are rooted in reality.But during a recent Zoom call with Insider, Hansen confirmed that Shlesinger wrote the movie based on one of her own firsthand romantic experiences, sticking fairly close to the real-life events while crafting the script. "It happened to Iliza," he said, adding that the comedian wouldn't disclose her ex's name to Hansen. "Throughout shooting and stuff, I'd be like, 'Well, did this actually happen? Did this really happen?' And most of it, yeah, really happened," the 39-year-old actor said. He clarified that "a couple" details in "Good on Paper" are exaggerated to make the story more thrilling but reiterated that "for the most part, it's all true."<div type="image" title="Iliza Shlesinger, Margaret Cho, Ryan Hansen in a &quot;good on paper&quot; bar scene" height="2680" width="4020" msid="83774733" hostid="261"></div><h2>Shlesinger used the experience to help Hansen nail his role as Dennis</h2>Because Shlesinger experienced her version of the Andrea-Dennis situation in real life, she served as an invaluable guide for Hansen as he tried to master his character, who he called "a little bit of a sociopath.""She could be like, 'No, no, Dennis would definitely never do that. Play it this way. No, he doesn't say that, play it this way,' So she was totally coaching me," the actor told Insider.Hansen added that Kimmy Gatewood, who made her directorial debut on the project, weighed in as well. "They totally walked the line on that, and I was their puppet," he said. <div type="image" title="kimmy gatewood and Iliza Shlesinger on the &quot;good on paper&quot; set" height="2433" width="3244" msid="83774735" hostid="261"></div><h2>Shlesinger says roughly 'two-thirds' of the movie is true </h2>Shlesinger, who stars in five Netflix comedy specials, recently told <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/movies/2021/06/21/iliza-shlesinger-good-paper-movie-netflix-relationship-real-true-story/7714246002/">USA Today</a> that the "first two-thirds of the movie are the mostly true parts."Like her on-screen character, the comedian said she fell for someone after an airplane meet-cute, only to find out that "everything about them was a lie." And "every single lie" that Dennis tells in the movie - from reciting the wrong home address to fabricating a sentimental story about Baccarat glasses - came directly from Shlesinger's real ex."I didn't have to embellish it at all," she told <a href="https://www.looper.com/442587/iliza-shlesinger-tackles-the-rom-com-genre-with-good-on-paper-exclusive-interview/">Looper</a>. Schlesinger did, however, use her imagination when it came to Andrea and Dennis' high-stakes ending, explaining that she landed on the final scene as "vindication" for "anybody who's unjustly been screwed over.""I hope people will watch this rom-com and be like, 'Yes! That one was for me,' at the end," she said.Shlesinger has previously spoken about the ordeal on a 2014 episode of "The Joe Rogan Podcast" and Comedy Central's "This Is Not Happening," according to <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/movies/2021/06/21/iliza-shlesinger-good-paper-movie-netflix-relationship-real-true-story/7714246002/">USA Today's Erin Jensen</a>. "Good on Paper" became available to stream on Netflix on Wednesday.

In 2004, Rava orchestrated <a href="http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sdut-1m20bell235949-hats-lawyers-gender-suit-settlement-2009jun20-story.html">a class action lawsuit</a> against the Oakland A's baseball organization for&#xa0;giving away hats to women at a Mother's Day game.&#xa0;"Simply put, it is against many California laws for a business to discriminate against patrons based on their sex or other personal characteristics, such as race or sexual orientation which should surprise no one," Rava writes in the suit.Rava goes on to argue that the women-only show "repudiated hundreds of years of women's struggles to be viewed as being equal to men and is typical of old-fashioned sexism that might also advise a young woman that her best chance for a happy life is to ace her home economics class and learn how to make a queso dip from Velveeta to catch a good man."According to Variety, a <a href="https://law.justia.com/cases/california/supreme-court/3d/40/24.html">1985 California Supreme Court case</a>&#xa0;ruled&#xa0;that "ladies night" discounts violate an "equal accommodations" law in the state, and violations are punishable by a $4,000 fine, plus attorneys' fees.&#xa0;Shlesinger's representatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Read the suit below:<section></section><div><p style=" margin: 12px auto 6px auto; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; -x-system-font: none; display: block;"> <a title="View St. George v.

On November 13, she posted <a target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@ilizas/video/7301012249202740510?lang=en">a clip of a stand-up performance to TikTok,</a> where she has 1.6 million followers, jokingly addressing the abuse millennials received online.<blockquote class="tiktok-embed" cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@ilizas/video/7301012249202740510" data-video-id="7301012249202740510" style="max-width: 605px;min-width: 325px;"> <section> <a target="_blank" title="@ilizas" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@ilizas?refer=embed">@ilizas</a> Millennials walked on Instagram so Gen Z could run on TikTok ‍♀️ <a title="standup" target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/standup?refer=embed">#standup</a> <a title="genz" target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/genz?refer=embed">#genz</a> <a title="millennial" target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/millennial?refer=embed">#millennial</a> <a title="eldermillennial" target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/eldermillennial?refer=embed">#eldermillennial</a> <a target="_blank" title="♬ original sound - iliza" href="https://www.tiktok.com/music/original-sound-7301017492767132447?refer=embed">♬ original sound - iliza</a> </section> </blockquote> Shlesinger began by asking whether any members of her live audience were Gen Z, and after a small cheer from the crowd, quipped that they weren't "so bold outside of a TikTok comment section."The comedian mentioned some of the remarks Gen Z had hurled at millennials in the past, such as dubbing them "<a target="_blank" href="https://www.insider.com/what-does-cheugy-mean-explained-rae-dunn-barstool-hype-house-2021-5">cheugy</a>," a term used to describe an outdated aesthetic, or mocking the way they <a target="_blank" href="https://www.insider.com/gen-z-was-right-to-mock-these-millennial-style-trends-2023-10">side-parted their hair</a>.Shlesinger then tried to find common ground between the two generations. She reminded her audience that millennials were young once, too, and went on to list issues both generations had faced, such as the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/millennials-gen-z-blame-loneliness-on-housing-affordability-crisis-2023-4">housing crisis</a> and the COVID-19 pandemic. She said millennials now had to deal with Gen Z giving them hassle, too, and they'd frankly had enough."You're angry, and I get that," she said. "We are angry too, but we have heartburn and our backs hurt, but we are right there with you."In a bid to encourage the generations to unite, Shlesinger suggested the only reason for the perceived TikTok animosity was because they're the two generations most likely to use the app, so it was basically "violence by proximity."She insisted their generational dynamic was more akin to a cool older sibling helping out their younger brother and sister or a friendly neighbor who might politely ask them to turn their music down, as opposed to a parent-child relationship."Never forget, we forged social media. Never forget that we walked on Instagram so you could run on TikTok," Shlesinger said, to laughter, cheers, and applause from the audience.At the end of the video, Shlesinger reiterated millennials were "allies" to Gen Z and implored the younger generation to "be kind," as those in her age group were exhausted.The upload blew up with 8.4 million views and 15,400 comments, including many from self-described Gen Zers, particularly those toward the elder range of the age bracket, who said they were firmly on the side of millennials."It's the younger Gen Z that hates on millennials older Gen Z stands proudly with millennials," a popular comment read which received more than 30,300 likes."Love you millennials!" read another comment from a viewer who said they were 25.Multiple viewers wrote they, too, were elder Gen Zers, often referred to as "<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/zillennial-lives-with-parents-spends-on-luxury-goods-2023-1">zillennials</a>," and were awkwardly lodged between the two groups as a result.Others agreed it was time for the generations to join forces so they could prepare for the inevitable rise of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.insider.com/gen-alpha-explained-technology-views-mental-health-2023-10">Gen Alpha</a> instead, whom <a target="_blank" href="https://www.insider.com/gen-z-predict-gen-alpha-mockery-online-2023-10">some Gen Z TikTokers have predicted</a> will eventually turn on them.

Previous guests include Serena Williams, Mindy Kaling, and Mariah Carey, whose episodes centered on the complexities surrounding <a href="https://www.insider.com/meghan-markle-podcast-maria-carey-called-her-diva-2022-8">the word "diva."</a>When asked who the most challenging interview was, Meghan said it was Hilton, who guest-starred in the series' latest episode that aired Tuesday, titled <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/3dzByHY9XyTWhF21Nt0xZU">"Breaking down 'The Bimbo,'"</a> with comedian Iliza Shlesinger. Meghan told Variety's Matt Donnelly the nerves stemmed from judgments she held about Hilton."I was the most nervous about her interview. I was embarrassed to admit it, but I've had a judgment about her that's based on everything I've seen," Meghan said. She also said that some of her judgment came from thinking she "didn't grow up pretty."<div type="image" title="Paris Hilton holding a microphone and DJing" height="1883" width="2511" msid="94972626" hostid="261" sizebytes="336778"></div>"I grew up as the smart one. So much of what I ended up thinking about, when I thought about Paris, was envy and judgment — two of the most dangerous things," she told Variety. In her concluding remarks from the podcast episode, Meghan also said she would question what could "possibly be wrong" with Hilton's life because she was "beautiful, rich, and famous.""My entire sense of self-confidence was wrapped up in being the smart one, and not the pretty one, I found the way to project all of my judgment and envy onto her," Meghan added. "Envy can be a very dangerous thing."However, after learning of the trauma <a href="https://www.insider.com/paris-hilton-reliving-school-trauma-while-planning-wedding-2022-1">Hilton said she experienced as a teen</a> during <a href="https://www.insider.com/paris-hilton-says-her-mom-doesnt-talk-about-alleged-abuse-2021-11">her time at Provo Canyon School</a> — a correctional school in Utah where the star told <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/past-six-days/2020-08-23/style/paris-hilton-i-never-got-to-live-my-childhood-rgzg7vnz6">The Times of London</a> in 2020 that she was abused — Meghan said her views changed.Speaking on the podcast, Hilton said she was 16 when her parents sent her to the boarding school that she described as "extremely abusive," both physically and emotionally."On a daily basis, it was all about really breaking you down," Hilton said. "It was the most painful, and horrific experience of my life.""Every day I was praying to god, like, 'please just wake me up from this nightmare,'" she added. Provo Canyon School <a href="https://www.insider.com/paris-hilton-says-her-mom-doesnt-talk-about-alleged-abuse-2021-11">changed ownership in 2000</a> after Hilton had left. Representatives for the school did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment, however, a spokesperson previously <a href="https://people.com/tv/paris-hilton-on-mom-kathy-reaction-to-alleged-boarding-school-abuse/">told People</a> they "cannot comment on the operations or patient experience prior to that time.""You hear about her trauma and her life and her buying into this persona. Ultimately, I told her, 'I'm really sorry that I judged you.' I wanted her to be safe and comfortable," Meghan told Variety. "That episode is not framed as a defense of Paris; it's the humanization of her."<div type="image" title="Meghan Markle on &quot;Deal or No Deal&quot;" height="1503" width="2000" msid="94972627" hostid="261" sizebytes="149190"></div>Throughout the episode, Meghan also touched on how <a href="https://www.insider.com/meghan-markle-treated-like-bimbo-on-deal-or-no-deal-2022-10">she was treated like a "bimbo"</a> during her short stint as a "briefcase girl" on "Deal or no Deal" in 2006 and she left the experience feeling objectified. She appeared on the show's second season which aired from 2006 to 2007."It was solely about beauty and not necessarily about brains," Meghan said. "I was surrounded by smart women on the stage with me, but that wasn't the focus of why we were there, and I would end up leaving with this pit in my stomach."Representatives for Paris Hilton and Meghan Markle did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

Like many other millennials, Shlesinger has mastered the hustle of multiple jobs: When not performing stand-up comedy around the world, she has found time to host her own late-night talk show, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Girl-Logic-Absurdity-Iliza-Shlesinger/dp/1602863237">author a book of essays</a>, co-star in films, and <a href="https://www.iliza.com/podcast">helm her own podcast</a>.That's not to mention Shlesinger's five Netflix specials, including "Elder Millennial" and "Unveiled," the latter of which aired in November 2019. Up next: The Iliza Shlesinger Sketch Show, slated to <a href="https://deadline.com/2019/10/netflix-the-iliza-shlesinger-sketch-show-sketch-comedy-series-1202749936/">premiere on Netflix this year</a>.As part of its new millennial series, "<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/category/lets-talk-about-money">Let's Talk About Money,</a>" Business Insider spoke to Shlesinger about her journey to comedic stardom and the wealth that came with it. Here's Shlesinger on her first $1 million, the importance of honesty, and what it's like driving a Honda Civic Hybrid around an expensive neighborhood."Let's Talk About Money" is a series of conversations with millennials about wealth. Interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.Hillary Hoffower: Your commentary often centers around relationships and the differences between men and women. To what extent does your generation inform your comedy, and in turn, how do you think your material speaks to your generation?Iliza Shlesinger: Elder millennials, we're the oldest of the younger generation, we're just now getting into the mid-30s and taking on the roles our parents had.Coming into this new era in the wake of the Black Lives Matter and Me Too movements, we're doing our best to lead the world and do it in a meaningful way. There's never been a better time to be a woman, a person of color, trans or gay ... While things are difficult, it's the most progressive time. I lead with honesty. It's a big part of being young today. It's about being open to having a conversation.Hoffower: What was the biggest learning moment in your career?Shlesinger: It's more the realization that saying you can't please everybody isn't just a clever aphorism you put in an Instagram post. I really am here to make people laugh and not hurt anyone.And if someone's offended by it, it's about moving forward with grace and commitment to craft and comedy. We live in a 12-minute news cycle - I've realized things aren't as bad when you put your phone down.Hoffower: You are the first and only female winner of Last Comic Standing. What's your advice for women trying to achieve success in a male-dominated industry?Shlesinger: Your career path will not look like everyone else's. You can't compare yourself to other people. Keep your head down and keep creating opportunities for yourself, no one will do it for you. Be self-generating, self-creating, self-promoting, love what you do, and you will go far.Hoffower: Do you find there to be a wage gap in comedy?Shlesinger: There are wage gaps in random increments. It's very available for me to see how much a male comic at my level charges. I don't find venues price tickets differently, because they want the money. The audience grows with the demand, and the market dictates what your ticket price should be. There's more of a gender bias in terms of perception. These are things we work to disprove.Hoffower: How much more are you making now than when you started and how did you make that leap so quickly?Shlesinger: Millions. And it's not a leap, it's a slow burn. Prior to the Netflix specials, it was about the commitment of going into cities over and over and hitting those comedy clubs. Those first two specials, we started to see growth within that, so the model sale for ticket pricing was different. A couple of specials in, we dipped our toes into theaters. It's been a build - it hasn't been a rocket ship, but it's been a fast build by the last couple of years. In the last two years, business has grown exponentially. Hoffower: In a <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/stevebaltin/2016/04/04/iliza-shlesingers-million-dollar-2015/#7c79a2c6358a">2016 interview with Forbes</a>, you referenced having made $1 million in 2015. What did you do with that money?Shlesinger: I don't spend money on huge things; I spend on necessary things like travel, hotels, and necessary evils in my life. I still drive a 2009 Honda Civic Hybrid, and I continue to drive it because it's a hybrid. I'm not a dude, so chicks don't care what I drive. I love living in an expensive neighborhood and driving it around.Hoffower: What's the best $50 you've ever spent?Shlesinger: I'm on set for 10 to 12 hours a day and in various conditions. The other day, I spent $45 getting a Chinese chair massage. I asked her to rub my head, and I floated out of there. It helped me get into hair and makeup the next morning.Hoffower: What's the worst money advice you've ever gotten that you've followed?Shlesinger: Anything I've ever heard in a rap song. I don't need a $30,000 gold chain.Hoffower: What does financial success mean to you?Shlesinger: It's so different from creative success. It's the ability to live freely and not have to be anxious when you look at your bank account. It's knowing you can generate more opportunities for yourself and shape your life, within reason.Hoffower: What's your last receipt from? Shlesinger: Who keeps receipts?<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/generation-z?IR=T&amp;itm_source=businessinsider&amp;itm_medium=ctgr_bii&amp;itm_term=ctgr_hub&amp;itm_content=millennials&amp;itm_campaign=generation-z-2"><img src="https://static.businessinsider.com/image/5dcb04467eece574841c1922" alt="Generation Z from Business Insider Intelligence" style="width: 100% !important" /></a>

<ul class="summary-list"><li><keyword id="1755634" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Ryan-Hansen">Ryan Hansen</keyword> recently spoke with Insider about his new project, <keyword id="128682" type="COMPANY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Netflix">Netflix</keyword>'s "<keyword id="11499426" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="good-on-paper">Good on Paper</keyword>."</li><li>The actor said he would go to great lengths to reprise his role as Dennis Kelly in a sequel. </li><li>"I will actually gain the real weight if I get to do a sequel and jack up my teeth for real."</li></ul>Warning: This article contains spoilers for Netflix's "Good on Paper.""Good on Paper," a Kimmy Gatewood-directed romantic comedy, may have only just premiered on Wednesday, but actor <a href="https://www.insider.com/category/ryan-hansen">Ryan Hansen</a> is already ruminating on the potential for a sequel.In the Netflix original film, the 39-year-old actor stars as Dennis Kelly, a serial liar that lures in comedian Andrea Singer (<a href="https://www.insider.com/category/iliza-shlesinger">Iliza Shlesinger</a>) under the facade of stability and security, constantly boasting about his Ivy League education and high-ranking position at a prestigious hedge fund.As Andrea later learns, there's little truth to the story that Dennis, a bank assistant hungry for wealth but neck-deep in debt from his copious spending habits, tells about himself. Hansen recently told Insider that, if given the opportunity, he would sign on to reprise the role in a sequel.Demonstrating his commitment, the actor joked that he'd go as far as ditching <a href="https://www.insider.com/iliza-shlesinger-good-on-paper-sex-scenes-ryan-hansen-joke-2021-6">the faux teeth and the stomach padding he wore in "Good on Paper"</a> and opt for a real-life transformation instead. "I will actually gain the real weight if I get to do a sequel and jack up my teeth for real," he said, laughing. Netflix has not released any information regarding a sequel, however. <div type="image" title="Iliza Shlesinger, Margaret Cho, Ryan Hansen in a &quot;good on paper&quot; bar scene" height="2680" width="4020" msid="83795746" hostid="261"></div><h2>Hansen thinks Dennis will repeat the same pattern with someone else</h2>After Andrea realizes that Dennis has been lying to her and confronts him in court, he vanishes, leaving his apartment and possessions behind.So, the lingering question is: What happens to Dennis?While some optimistic viewers may choose to believe that he's learned his lesson about dishonesty and has started anew, Hansen isn't one of them. "I think he was going to ride this thing as long as he could," he said. "He's the type of person that would be like, 'Okay, that's over. On to the next.'"The "Party Down" actor envisions Dennis zeroing in on his next victim and manipulating them to get "whatever he wants next.""I just think he is a little bit of a sociopath and can just do it again, unfortunately," Hansen added. <div type="image" title="dennis kelly and andrea singer in good on paper netflix movie" height="900" width="1200" msid="83795747" hostid="261"></div><h2>Dennis is based on one of Shlesinger's exes</h2>"Good on Paper," written and produced by Shlesinger, is a "mostly true" story about one of the stand-up comedian's real-life relationships. Roughly "two-thirds" of the film are true, she told <a href="https://ew.com/movies/good-on-paper-iliza-shlesinger-interview-netflix/">Entertainment Weekly</a>.Like Andrea, Schlesinger did date a man that befriended her on a plane, only to find that "everything about them was a lie" months into their relationship.She remained fairly true to her experience while penning the "Good on Paper" screenplay but changed names, added characters, and tweaked details. The final act, in which Dennis accuses Andrea of assault and kidnapping him in court, was completely fictional, with Schlesinger noting that she'd "face criminal charges" if the events unfurled the way they did in the movie. <div type="image" title="dennis kelly (played by ryan hansen) and andrea singer (played by iliza shlesinger) in good on paper airplane scene" height="1610" width="3840" msid="83795748" hostid="261"></div>And because Schlesinger lived out the nightmarish relationship with her "Dennis" in real life, she was able to <a href="https://www.insider.com/iliza-shlesinger-coached-ryan-hansen-good-on-paper-dennis-netflix-2021-6">give Hansen pointers on how to really nail his on-screen performance.</a>"She could be like, 'No, no, Dennis would definitely never do that. Play it this way. No, he doesn't say that, play it this way,'" the actor told Insider. "She was totally coaching me."
