Film producer Sidney Loot admitted today that he regretted choosing someone with no experience or qualifications to fix the leak in his toilet.
“Sure, there are plumbers who’ve actually learned how to do the job, and done it reliably for years,” Loot told journalists today. “And I suppose I could have gone with one of them.
”But then I thought, why not pick someone based on who their parents are and the size of their social media following? It’s what I do at work, after all.”
Young, raffishly handsome Toby Nepo declared himself very grateful for the opportunity and promised Loot he wouldn’t regret his decision, whilst privately admitting to friends he didn’t have the first clue about fixing toilets.
Loot’s PA was in the middle of drafting a press release about how Nepo’s famous parents only meant he had to work twice as hard to prove himself, when she noticed the office was now ankle deep in watery shit.
Nepo’s millions of followers on TikTok were then treated to a 15 second clip of him desperately trying to stem the flow, accompanied by the text “Awkward!” and the “facepalm” and “crying with laughter” emojis.
For his part, Loot said he had learned his lesson and would go back to his usual practice of hiring models-turned-plumbers entirely for their looks.
