This is a photo of Ewan McGregor on the set of Jane Got a Gun, the long-troubled new movie with Natalie Portman. (Long troubled because a million other people before Ewan McGregor were signed on to play whatever this role is and then dropped out at the last second, which doesn’t even make sense since this role is PURRRFECT.) One time on The Best Show on WFMU, the weekly radio show that you really should be listening to and if you are not listening to it something is wrong with the decision-making-tree in your head and you should get your decision-making-tree looked at, Tom Scharpling suggested that any time an actor appears on a late night show with a weird haircut, they should have to explain what movie it is for because he was sick of all these actors showing up on late night TV and pretending like their weird haircuts were normal when they obviously were not normal. This is a funny idea! But I also kind of feel like the opposite is equally fair. Sometimes I don’t want actors to EVER explain why they look the way they obviously look for a role, because that way I can pretend that it’s just how they think of themselves now. “What? Does the real Ewan McGregor SHOCK you?” I basically assume all actors are 14 year old girls trying to get a rise out of their family at a funeral. But look at Mr. Cool Face And Jacket over here! Oddly enough, it’s very easy to see someone in their costume and make fun of them because we are adults and when we go to work it does not involve PLAYING DRESS UP AND MAKE BELIEVE, but then sometimes you have to eat your own words, because after a solid year of making fun of Sean Penn for his Robert Smith get up for that movie This Must Be The Place about a rock star nazi hunter (!!!), I actually watched it last weekend and it is really great (!!!!!!!!!!!!!). My apologies to everyone involved. Very good movie, guys. A++. Would do business with movie again. (Photo via TMZ.)
