Today is the day we’ve all been waiting for, Edgar Wright’s latest film Scott Pilgrim vs. The World sees its release today and we couldn’t be more excited.
Well, we could be more excited because we saw the film a couple of weeks ago, we even reviewed it.
The new comic book-based action/comedy film stars our favourite actor and king of expressions Michael Cera as Scott, who must defeat seven evil exes in order to be with the girl of his dreams, literally, Ramona, played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead.
Such is the level of our man crush on Cera that we felt it necessary to bring you his top 10 facial expressions. The emotions he’s showcased that have changed him from obscure Canadian indie actor to Hollywood pin-up. We would have done more, but his people said they’d sue us if we published the calendar we made for the Hecklerspray office.
Let’s get cracking then shall we? Hecklerspray is proud to bring to you, Michael Cera’s top 10 expressions!
10. Anger
Just feel the rage in his eyes.
9. Fear
This is the look of a man who’s just wet himself in fear.
8. Surprise
The panicked look of someone who’s just been walked in on at a bad time.
7. Ecstasy
Cera showing us a serene look of sheer bliss.
6. Lust
Looking a bit more like a sex pest now, leering away.
5. Confusion
“Wait, you want me to ACT!?”
4. Jealousy
“No, Ellen, I really am happy for you.”
3. Regret
Cera has just seen how bad he looked with a mustache in Youth in Revolt.
2. Hope
The wide-eyed, lip trembling hope plastered on Cera’s face shows how optimistic he is that his career hasn’t peaked.
1. Akwardness
The classic Cera pose, as seen in every scene of every film he’s been in.

Is there an expression for “doing a bad job of covering up latent homosexuality”?

This is my personal top-ten of Cera’s dynamic facial expressions, in reverse order of preference:
10. Slightly gormless;
9. Slightly gormless and confused;
8. Slightly gormless and bewildered;
7. Slightly gormless and bemused;
6. Slightly gormless and confounded;
5. Slightly gormless and befuddled;
4. Slightly gormless and dumbfounded;
3. Slightly gormless and perplexed;
2. Slightly gormless and palpably incredulous about his attractive female co-star;
1. Slightly gormless and sexually confused about his overweight male co-star.
I much prefer him when he’s played by Jesse Eisenberg.
