The tech mogul appeared on the YouTube podcast “The Colin and Samir Show” this week, and reflected on the one and only time he watched the 2010 biographical drama, which tells the story of how he founded the social media platform in the early 2000s. “It was weird, man,” Zuckerberg said during the interview, which was published on Thursday, March 27. “They got all these very specific details of what I was wearing, or these specific things correct, but then the whole narrative arc around my motivations and all this stuff were like, completely wrong.” Article continues below this ad He particularly noted the plotline of his character being “motivated by trying to find a girlfriend” as inaccurate.

Zuckerberg briefly attended Ardsley High School, a public school in New York, before transferring to Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire his junior year. When asked about the fashion choice, Zuckerberg revealed that one of his friends encouraged him to buy it in an online auction. It was listed on [PropstoreAuction.com](https://propstoreauction.com/lot-details/index/catalog/397/lot/139345?sc=649) and valued between \$2,000 and \$4,000. His winning bid was \$4,095.
