Jimmy Kimmel has been pleading to vacation with Magic Johnson for years, but it appears he left out one small detail.
It was just last month that the Jimmy Kimmel Live! host, who’s made it an annual tradition to Photoshop himself into Johnson’s envy-inducing vacation photos, was finally invited to join the basketball legend on his yacht for a 10-day trip in the Mediterranean alongside Samuel L. Jackson and their wives.
“I visualized it. I manifested it, and it came true,” Kimmel boasted to Jennifer Hudson during an appearance on her daytime talk show Monday
Kimmel was genuinely stunned when it happened, which may be why he neglected to mention a potential hiccup in their travel plans: Kimmel gets seasick.
“You know what I didn’t tell Magic?,” he revealed to Hudson. “I’m a vomiter.”
“That might be a problem on the yacht,” he admitted.
Kimmel may want to hold that information back a little longer, as it seems his travel plans with Johnson are not yet fully solidified. “We’ll see if I actually get on the ship,” Kimmel told Hudson. “He did invite me on television. I haven’t heard from him since. So I don’t know when we’re going, or if they’re just hoping I forget about it. But I am not forgetting about it.”
“That’s what Magic and Sam Jackson do,” Kimmel added after Hudson mentioned that she was angling for an invite, too. “They don’t say no. In fact, they often will say, ‘Yeah sure.’ And then you realize you’re not there.”
For now, the host is sure of one thing: “Just know,” he warned. “If you see pictures of me with Magic, and I’m vomiting on him, it’s not Photoshop.”
