Although I realised TV was all pretend, I didn't have any idea of what stunt men were. Watching Starsky & Hutch one day, some guy got pushed off a tall building and was killed, so I concluded that the producers must have a) paid him incredibly well and b) fixed him up with lots of hot girls for a couple of months before shooting to persuade him to give up his life for his art...
A childhood belief about tv

others believed things like this
- I used to think the Empire State Building was called the "Ten-past-eight building".— Alex
- I didn't want to get tall when I was younger because I believed that I would fall over. — Gabi
- I always thought cats were all girls & dogs were all boys ... I have no idea why.Anon
- I somehow got the idea that if I boiled a rock, it would come to life. My dad disproved that...Anon
- i used to belive life had already happened... i was just watching my judgement— jmsiona
- I used to believe that if you were killed, you came back; but if you were murdered, you didn't. lol!— M.O. LeClair
