Did you ever get an task at school if you have been a child the place you have been supposed to jot down a letter to your future self? The place you assume you’re going to be an astronaut or a glass blower or the longer term president? Nicely, comic and actor Andy Samberg did when he was eight years previous, and boy, was he mainly proper on the cash with what his future would seem like.

Lately, Samberg visited Jimmy Kimmel Live, and Samberg learn the lovely (and eerily correct) letter aloud.

The letter was not too long ago discovered by his mother and father, who have been cleansing their basement.

“I opened this field, and it is a letter,” Samberg shared with Kimmel. “I used to be in third grade, I used to be eight years previous, they usually requested you to do a factor the place you write what you assume you will be doing in 20 years.”

Kimmel then held up the letter and skim it to the viewers. The letter reads:

“Andy Samberg shall be 28 years previous 20 years from now. He shall be a comic and make some huge cash. After he has made $1,281,342.42, he’ll get married and have two youngsters. He’ll make them clear the kitchen whereas he watches the soccer sport. Since they achieve this a lot work Andy will give them $10 per week for allowance. His youngsters shall be glad, his spouse shall be glad, and he shall be very, very, glad. The top.”

If Kimmel and Samberg didn’t insist this was an actual letter and never a “gag,” it’s so correct to what the longer term would seem like, we wouldn’t consider it’s actual.

“It’s surprising how correct it was,” Samberg mentioned.

Kimmel factors out the similarities: Samberg actually does have two youngsters, he actually is a working comic, and the 2 quip about how Samberg’s youngsters clear up whereas he watches soccer.

The one distinction in little Samberg’s predictions for present Samberg’s life is the allowance half for his youngsters.

Apparently, Samberg joked, they’re not getting an allowance.

“As an alternative of giving them an allowance — that’s the one distinction — we simply give them every little thing they ask for the entire time,” Samberg joked. “We really feel like that is going to be a great way for them to be taught concerning the world and make us really feel glad we raised them in Los Angeles.”
