Nicely, that is loopy … simply days after Richard Simmons appeared pissed Pauly Shore was doing an unauthorized biopic on his life, RS now appears to be giving the thumbs as much as the challenge.

TMZ obtained this video from the Sundance Movie Pageant Friday night time, the place Pauly bought onstage to introduce the brief movie that can finally turn into the complete film model of Richard’s life.

He started by telling the group Richard texted him earlier within the day, wishing him “good luck” with the screening. The viewers gave its rousing approval.

It is a whole about-face … just some days in the past, Richard wrote on Fb, “You might have heard they could be doing a film about me with Pauly Shore. I’ve by no means given my permission for this film. So do not imagine every little thing you learn.”

To say he by no means gave his permission is as a lot as saying DON”T DO THIS!

If Pauly is placing yesterday’s textual content in full context, possibly Richard had a change of coronary heart.

The Wolper Group, a subsidiary of Warner Bros. that is growing the movie, informed us — “Whereas we might like to have him concerned, we respect his need to privateness and plan to supply a film that honors him, celebrates him and tells a dramatic story.”

Pauly was on the Salt Lake Metropolis Int’l Airport Thursday and made it clear … his intentions are good and thinks RS will just like the movie.
