His work has appeared in TV Guide Magazine, The Wall Street Journal and Us Weekly.But in certain Hollywood circles, he's been called a different name. “I used to be known as ‘Dr. No’ because I've turned down a lot of roles.
“I'm not being sarcastic,” he continues. “I didn't understand what he was talking about. So I'd say, ‘Wait a minute, but who is he? What is it?’ ” “I just said, ‘I don't know what it is, and he'd probably be better off getting someone else because I don't get it.’ Not like, ‘I don't get it. I thought it was bad.’ I literally didn't know what it was,” says Keaton.
Befriending the legendary party boy had its perks. “He took me to Paris in a jet,” recalls Keaton. “I was like a Boy Scout. I was ready to go out like a normal person. Jack didn’t get out of his room until like 10 p.m. or 10:30.”They wound up at the exclusive Les Bains Douches nightclub. “Jack was having a ball. He had the biggest grin on his face,” recalls Keaton, who headed back to the hotel ahead of his host. He remembers thinking, “‘This is fun, but it’s kind of wasted on me.
