Actor Michael Cera recently told his story about eight months worth of text conversations that he had with a stranger to the Shouts & Murmurs department of The New Yorker. His text message friend Jeremy started off as an unknown number that popped up on his phone one day in December. Jeremy had no clue that he accidentally started a dialogue with the famous actor.
