Tropic Thunder


Guess who the guy in the middle is...
Robert Downey Jr!
He plays a white actor in the movie (about the making of a Vietnam movie). He's a method actor and actually gets surgery to look like a black guy for the film. Pretty funny concept.

He really looks like a black guy. This is a problem, his going to be able to get into our super secret black club now unnoticed. As long as he doesn't know the entire rap of "Baby got back" I think are club is safe.

Michael Lorne.

Unknown said...

Uhhh...I think you meant Lorne Michaels, is that correct?

Mike P. said...

You'd think so but....You'd be correct.

Shit, I knew that didn't look right.

One of the other writers on Highbrid Nation wrote about Robert Downy playing a black man. He worries that Al Sharpton might have something to say about it, lol. Honestly as a black person I think it's kinda cool that movie make-up has gotten to the point where you can make someone look like another race and if the pics I've seen of Robert Downy in costume are accurate than they did a really good job! Plus Robert is a very capable actor so I'm sure he wont come across as stereo typical or offensive. I could be wrong though.
