Diane Keaton Explains Why She Calls Herself an ‘Idiot,’ Saying No to Psychedelics and Her Failed Music Career

Marc Malkin Senior Film Awards, Events & Lifestyle EditorWelcome to this week’s “Just for Variety.”If you haven’t taken a look at Diane Keaton’s Instagram feed, you really should.

The 76-year-old Oscar winner entertains her 2.1 million followers with a range of video posts. Some of my favorites include a photomontage of famous men — Justin Bieber, Lil Baby, Oscar Isaac and Kodi Smit-McPhee, to name a few — set to “It’s Raining Men,” and another explaining why she prefers almonds to walnuts while she shows off her snack closet.

In April, Keaton’s “Spring Cleaning” video featured her in one of her signature black-and-white ensembles, a hat and studded black leather gloves as she picked through a closet for items to donate to Goodwill. “There’s something wrong about that, but really I’m glad that I’m part of it,” Keaton says of her Instagram popularity. “I do like it.

And I could play around with things.”I chatted with Keaton for this week’s “Just for Variety” podcast ahead of the release of her latest film, “Mack & Rita.” In the Katie Aselton-directed comedy, a 30-year-old influencer named Mack (Elizabeth Lail) is transformed into a 70-year-old called Rita (Keaton) during a visit to a Palm Springs shaman (Simon Rex).
