‘And Just Like That’ Star Recounts Smoking Joint With First Daughters

The actor recalled the incident happened while he was working as a bouncer at an exclusive NYC nightclub.

A star on And Just Like That... has revealed that he once lit up a joint with former President George W. Bush’s daughters in the early 2000s. Armin Amiri, who plays Ravi Gordi on the Sex and the City reboot, was a doorman at the since-shuttered Manhattan nightclub Bungalow 8. He told the hosts of Page Six’s radio show that he didn’t know who Jenna Bush Hager and Barbara Bush were when they showed up one night—so he didn’t let them in. “I got a tap on my shoulder, and it was the Secret Service,” Amiri recalled. “And he goes, ‘These are the first daughters.’ I said, ‘First daughters of whom?’” Once he understood, Amiri let the girls in and struck up a conversation. “I remember I needed my green card. So, we smoked a joint together and I was just like, ‘Listen, I’m having a green card problem,” he said. Though the Bush sisters said they would try to help him out, nothing ever came of it, Amiri recalled, laughing. The twin sisters, now 43, had a widely publicized party era during their father’s tenure as president. A representative for Bush Hager did not return the Beast’s request for comment.
