Caught 'The Intern' on TV last night and pictured a totally different career twist for De Niro's character.

Picture him as a retired stuntman instead of a businessman. The whole vibe changes when you imagine him calmly fixing a printer right after casually mentioning he used to set himself on fire for Clint Eastwood. How does a guy who jumped motorcycles through helicopters end up so zen about TPS reports? That rewrites his entire backstory and every quiet moment in the office feels like a punchline.

What alternate career path did you have in mind? The movie's setup is pretty specific, so a big change would rewrite the whole plot. I'm curious about the scenario you pictured.

Wait, like a retired spy or something?
