Providing context to his home video footage, the actor added, "Not The Avengers, which was a massive blockbuster. No, no. This was The Avenger, which is a movie I wrote, directed and starred in when I was 10 years old.  It was shot on location in my buddy Bruce Ferguson’s backyard, in our hometown of Miami, Florida. I play a ninja assassin training to fight his nemesis."

While the footage that was shared by Oscar was beyond entertaining, the actor in his monologue revealed the true reasons why he wanted to share it as he concluded saying it’s important to encourage kids to be weirdos because "every once in a while one of those weirdos grows up to host SNL."
