I’m a big fan of the glow up from goofy fat guy in Hollywood to Oscar-esque actors. Being a big bone-r myself, it’s gives the good guys something to aspire to. These bigger guys in their former years tend to be type-cast as the funny friend prone to slapstick comedy. Fart/fall/puke, you know the role. But all they need is that one chance in a serious movie.
Sorry Jonah I know you hate this, but Jonah Hill is our king trailblazer. His characters in Superbad, Get Him To The Greek, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Accepted, and Grandma’s Boy were all the same person. But you give a guy like Jonah Hill a chance to showcase his talent in Money Ball, next thing you know Taretino’s hitting him up for Django and he’s gallivanting with Leo on yachts in Wolf Of Wall Street.
The most recent development to the big boys community is that Josh Peck has been cast in the new Christopher Nolan movie. I think it’s illegal to be a bad actor in a Christopher Nolan movie. Does Christopher Nolan even make movies? I think contractually speaking we have to call them films. I mean look at this cast list for the upcoming film- Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, Florence Pugh, and Rami Malek. Looking at that lineup who pops in to your head next? It better be Josh Peck cause he’s on deck.
You know who Josh Peck is right? I don’t know how many Oscar winners got their start on Nickelodeon’s All That, but Josh is primed to make history. He also starred in Max Keeble. You know, as the funny fat friend, Robe, who wears a bathrobe to school every day and throws up on himself when he gets locked in a trophy case. But Josh is probably most well known for starring in the titular role of the beloved Nickelodeon show “Drake and Josh”. Fucking classic really. Every preteen from my era can read “Meeegan” and “HUG ME BROTHA” and know exactly what it’s supposed to sound like. Not to mention, as far as movie premieres go, Drake and Josh’s “Really Big Shrimp” put asses in the seats. I don’t see how this is any different.
The movie in question, Oppenheimer is biopic thriller on the life of the man who contributed to creating the atom bomb. Personally, I don’t see how Josh Peck pulls this off.
No wait. I’m doing exactly what all you skinny bitches have been doing for years. Even though Josh isn’t fat anymore, his former shirt size created a bond that supersedes what any scale today reads. I don’t know the extent of Josh Peck’s role in the film, but I fully expect him to win Best Supporting Actor.
