What's Machine Gun Kelly's scheduling conflict? A paternity test on Maury Povich?

he has two other movies. I don't know when he became such an in demand actor.

Damn he must have a good agent.

imo he's not a bad actor but I feel like there have got to be 1000 other tall skinny white guys who could be in these roles so I am a little surprised that he's the one who's really come up because I feel like if you were a director you'd always be afraid of being accused of stunt casting

[babarsuhail]

downgrade.

Rly ?!

Wow, Lala’s man has budget and clout now for Robert De Niro and John Malkovich?

I know De Niro has to make sure Grace has shoe money on the reg, but I guess Malkovich has to pay the bills too.

He was involved with that movie DeNiro was in about the mom that had him all CGI'ed and stuff, so they have a connection through that. I can't believe he's like actually becoming legit.

I wonder what happened because he *really* wants to be an actor.

It’s why I think he and Megan are PR, since he wants to make the career switch and needs to look more “stable” and less like an alcoholic, addict, racist rapper-turned-rocker.
