The Jeremy Piven/John Cusack love affair began when they were children. They both grew up in Evanston, Illinois, and started acting together in the Piven Theatre Workshop, which was founded by Piven’s parents. When Cusack got famous, he always put Piven in his films, including Grosse Point Blank and Say Anything. So when did things take a turn for the worse? According to Piven, Cusack became Jealous when Piven’s career took off. When asked about Cusack, Piven said “No comment. I mean, you could fill in the blank, I bet. It just says so much about a person if he has space for other people’s success. I have always been so proud of my friends’ success.” Cusack denied any jealously saying “It’s quite the contrary. I am very happy for Jeremy. I wish him the best and I always have.” So what’s the truth? Judging from the quotes I imagine that Piven thinks Cusack’s jealous, and Cusack thinks Piven’s fame turned him into a douche.

maybe piven is jealous of cusack’s height? (and I think Piven is much more worthwhile than Cusack)
wow he looks so small next to Cusack…much like his career.

You know what? Both of these pricks are so self absorbed, who cares!!!! Cusack needs to take acting lessons from Joan. And Piven needs to join the “Mens Hair Club”!!! Or at least as Howard says, “Let it shine”!!!LOL

I like them both. I hope in these latter years of their lives and careers, they can rekindle their friendship. Some of my favorite moments on film are when they are riffing off each other.
If jealousy, on either side, was the real reason for their friendship disolving, surely they can push that aside and maybe become friends again. After everything that we survived during the pandemic, you would think that they would try and make amends. They grew up together in the same town in Illinois. They acted together. Life is short. They should just let bygones be bygones. Maybe they can do another movie together in the future. Here’s hoping.
