Lainey - No one will tell him he sucks

Lainey's new riddle today -


No one will tell him he sucks

There’s a dirtier riddle coming later in the week but here’s an easy quickie for now.

He wants this so badly, to be taken seriously as an actor. But on the set of his new movie, everyone is baffled. By how terrible he is. Like laughably terrible. The worst timing, the most awkward line reads, cheesy expressions… at this point it’s become a fun work-time activity: watch him get through a scene, feel the fontrum for him while he sucks it so hard so obliviously, giggle your tits off later because he walks around thinking he is the sweetest sh-t ever.

There’s an ego involved, of course, and he actually thinks he’s doing a good job, that he is gifted in this discipline too. Please. He is not gifted. And his lack of gifts in this respect could cost the entire production. The weakest link drags it all down. Which is why people are mystified that the director has not bothered to fix it. Like suggesting more classes, like pushing his coach, like replacing him with someone who can actually do it? None of the above. Word is, he’ll make the corrections in post by greatly reducing the role. Unless there’s a miracle and suddenly Cate Blanchett comes out of his ass to save the day. Not likely.

Update 12/23 - Lainey has eliminated Robert Pattinson.

Our top suspect: Justin Timberlake

  2. Has to be Justin Timberlake. Only other person I can think of is 50 cent.

  3. You guys are so good at this. Is Timberlake even doing anything right now? First person that popped in my head was Robert Pattinson. He's quite terrible. I know he can't be replaced in the Sparkly vampire series, but other projects?

  4. JT is filming "the social network" about the founders of facebook.

  5. BTW, doesn't sounds like rob pattinson,, or any other actor for that matter.
    This is someone who does something ELSE primarily besides acting who wants badly to be taken seriously as an actor. So a musician or something.

  6. OK-thanks. I told you all you were good at this. Quick too! I can definately see JT having the huge ego.

  7. I think this is hilarious. But I wonder how the director would reduce his role since he is the lead. Doesn't matter the movie will bomb/ go straight-to-dvd anyways.

  8. My first thought goes to Zac Efron. Any thoughts?

  9. Totally Timberdork. Lainey has talked about him sucking but that his ego is huge and he thinks he is great etc...and yes-he is filming that facebook movie w/ the kid from Adventureland, who I like. Personally that actor (jesse Eisenberg?)by the way has better chemistry w/ KStew than RPatz does.

  10. LOL! JT should stick to his day job.

  11. I think it's JT, not 50 Cent.

    I can't picture 50c doing cheesy looks or having that much of an ego, to be honest.

  12. First person who came to mind when I read this was Ashton Kutcher. Is he working on anything right now besides camera commercials?

  13. I dont know.. JT is a pretty good actor, at least when he has acted.. he was pretty good in that one movie about the abducted kid, his SNL skits.. oh well, just a thought.

  14. Lainey says it's NOT JT, 50 or Josh Groben (??). What about MIKE MYERS????

  15. Roger thats a different blind. JT was not eliminated.

  16. JT does ok at SNL because of those "cheesy expressions" which they list in this blind. Just because someone can do silly sketch comedy does not make them a good actor. Definitely JT.

  17. Lainey's riddle says specifically that it is not JY or 50 cent or Josh Groban. I am thinking Kanye or P. Diddy.

  18. Thats a different Blind she eliminates JT 50 and Josh Groban.

  19. JT because Lainey hates him,he wants to be taken seriously as an actor(love guru?!)

    ReplyDelete
  20. Comedy skits and dramatic acting are two different ball games.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I think it's Ryan Reynolds. Just a thought.
    Justin Timberlake has already kind of proven himself as an actor...sort of. Either way, I don't think it's him.
