Ask any shameless wannabe celebrity why they want to be famous and the answer will usually consist of money, free clothes and numerous sexual favours from women who look like they need a good rinse in Dettol.
So it comes as a great surprise to us that Michael Cera, the adorable/annoying little Canadian poppet with a face like something out of Button Moon, turned down a blowjob from a proper living, human woman.
Most people don’t know what to make of Michael Cera. He became famous by playing sweet and endearing young men in films like Juno and Superbad but the tide soon turned when we all discovered that that’s pretty much all he can play. Once you’ve seen one stammering idiot you’ve seen em all. Just ask Hugh Grant, he’s been carting that horse for bloody years and most people wouldn’t brake if he was crossing the road.
Still, he’s only young and maybe we should wait until his next film, Scott Pilgrim vs The World, comes out before judging him. He plays a sweet and endearing young man. Great.
Whilst on the publicity trail, he told Rolling Stone (via: Contact Music) about a particularly “scary” encounter with a “crazy” fan. The smoking fan approached him and asked for a hug, she embraced the actor before he had a chance to answer but he recoiled in horror when she then asked, “Can I suck your dick?”
“I pulled away from her. And the cigarette smoke was just falling out of her mouth. It was such a scary image. And then I saw her pull her shirt down for some other guy. There was something demonic and terrifying about it. She was completely crazy. All it did was make me put a few more bricks in the wall I already have.”
Demonic and terrifying? Most men spend their lives trying to get as many blowjobs as possible, so how can it be demonic and terrifying? Granted, that lady doesn’t sound like the most elegant of creatures but let’s be honest here, Cera is no Clooney and it’s doubtful women are posing as cleaners trying to get into his hotel room. Cera may resemble a frightened rabbit that’s just come face to face with Elmer Fudd but apparently there are some freaky ladies out there who’d like to make a man out of him. Weird.

While I don’t agree about the Hugh Grant comment because I love him, haha, I do agree about this whole Cera shipping… They have used him more times in movies than they did during the peek of the fascination with Dakota Fanning. And it’s always the same genre of movies and the same character. And I have yet to fall for him, I just thought, in the beginning, he was an endearing nerd.
Whatever.
This indie-like genre of movies will soon get very old for me if they keep using him.

Well, prepare to be shocked. I just saw an advance screening of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and it was outstanding. I was so jazzed to see all the hollywood hipsters (Schwartzman, Cera, Routh and Evans) cross over into the action genre. And BOY do they crossover. The action kicked so much ass it was ridiculous. Cera has officially saved his career with this film.
