Tony Romo Makes A Cameo

Welcome to Young Hollywood.

Hey Young Hollywood, it's Tracy Bear. I'm hanging out with one of my all-time favorite players ever, Tony Romo from the Dallas Cowboys. So you were this undrafted free agent back in the day and now you're like this, you know, huge top football star of the country. I mean, you know, what kind of strengths I guess would you say kind of helped to make your career, you know, successful?

I learned a while back that you have to just keep improving. For me, it was strictly find a way to be better the next year than you were the year before. And the only way to do that though is to make sure you're trying to get better today, you know, compared to the way you were yesterday. So if you take a lot of little short intermediate goals along the way, you know, I didn't start off the process saying, "I want to be the starting quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys." I just said, "I want to be good in high school."

We're here on your set of Cameo Stars, which is I just thought it was pretty crazy. I was like you were like this Avatar, just kinda doing cool things and it's for Facebook and

Yeah, there's a bunch of uh different outlets we're doing and uh you can't be everywhere at once, but in this capacity, I think you might be able to. I'm Darren, the founder of Cameo Stars. And what the interest is, it's creating virtual goods and virtual gifts out of celebrities, athletes, entertainers.

If you think about it, Darren's basically saying, "No, I can't get um someone over here, a celebrity. I can't get them to come to your house for this birthday." You're not gonna be able to go to all these people, he's not going to hit up Utah then hit up Florida the next day. But in this capacity, in some way, to make your kids smile, to make them enjoy that birthday or that Christmas, or your loved one or whatever, more, you know, there's an avenue for that now. So for Valentine's Day, you can unbelievable Tony Romo, beautiful Cupid.

Wings. Where are the wings? I want to see the wings, Tony. We should have brought the wings over here. So how have you stayed in touch with your fans? I mean, are you kind of using a lot of tech things like Twitter? What's your, what's your?

Yeah. Well I just, you know, I don't get a chance to speak with them throughout most of the year. So usually I'll write with Santa Claus for this Christmas Eve. Everybody. But honestly, it's just you can't, you can't stay in touch with everybody, but you try and let them know how important they are to you. I do want people to know how much I appreciate, how much they support our team and me. And that's meaningful. And I just do it more in outlets like this.

What kind of advice would you give to somebody starting out, you know, and whether it's sports or whether it's any other field of, you know, whatever they dream to do?

For me, a big thing was just having a belief in myself that I, you know, could do something because there's gonna be a lot of people that tell you you're not good enough, you can't accomplish certain things. I think a lot of it's just your ability to just keep digging and keep grinding away and keep trying to, you know, improve and get better. Now, that doesn't guarantee you success, but it definitely gives you the best chance for it.

Hey, I'm Tony Romo. I'm hanging out with you on Young Hollywood.
