We had to stop and shoot the rest of the scene another day. He was like a five-year-old: ‘The ice-cream is good, I like it!’ I was like, ‘You gotta stop, you’re gonna get sick!’''

Dear Fonseca
I am 17 years-old and have been stressed for days. My father let me borrow his car on Monday. I was rifling through the trunk looking for something when I found a bag that contained a red Santa hat and red lingerie. The lingerie would never fit my mother. I think my father is cheating and bought the holiday lingerie for his mistress. Should I tell my mother? Should I confront my father? What would you do if you were me?
