Big day for Weezer news. Not only did Rivers Cuomo welcome Snail Mail's Lindsey Jordan to the stage last night in Queens, he also stars in a new ad for Ash & Erie, a clothing brand designed for short men.
Cuomo — who famously had surgery in 1995 to lengthen his left leg, which was 44 millimeters shorter than the right — gives a testimonial in a lo-fi but effective new Ash & Erie spot. He talks about how anyone who's seen Weezer lined up on an album cover knows he's the shortest member, and how regular clothes make him look like a child dressing up as an adult. It's true that the Ash & Erie outfit he rocks in the ad looks much sharper than the baggy polo shirt he puts on for comparison. "Who knows, I might become, like, Mr. Fashion," he speculates at the end. Watch below.
@ashanderie It’s true ? everyone deserves clothes that fit GREAT, right out of the box. Thanks for sharing your story, Rivers. #ashanderie #ashanderie #mensfashion

Any short kings out there have a similar experience to Rivers?
