Top 10 Reasons To Invite Steven Spielberg To Your Bat Mitzvah

More than 2,500 actors auditioned for the role of young Han Solo, but only one had director Steven Spielberg in his corner, thanks to an epic bat mitzvah stunt. 10 years ago, Alden Ehrenreich made a Jackass-style video as a favor for a friend. The young lady proceeded to screen the clip at her 13th birthday party (the aforementioned bat mitzvah for you gentiles) ceremony, where Spielberg just so happened to be in attendance. Ehrenreich made such an impression on the Oscar-winning director, Dreamworks immediately got in touch with the future star of Solo: A Star Wars Story. Needless to say, once the story got out, Spielberg was invited to every bat and bar mitzvah in the greater Los Angeles area. Bless his soul, we hear he actually tries to attend as many of them as he can.
