I don't think he's overplaying anything. The fact is ANY of us could be in a different situation with just a little twist of fate. I'm not broke and hungry, but what if my dad had lost his business when I was little and I hadn't been able to go to a good school and get a scholarship or afford college? What if you lost everything in a fire and didn't have any insurance for recovery? What if a tornado or flood destroyed your home and killed you family? What if you made a stupid decision to get try heroin at a party when you wer 16, got hooked, and ruined your life? I don't think he was saying, "Poor me," but realizing "That could have been me." And BTW, my rich uncle never gave us money and my cousin is a producer but that doesn't mean I get to hang with celebrities.
