Great read! He is so funny. And I loved this:

I don’t know how much time I’m going to get, and I don’t want to spend it in the wrong place. I know I’m not spending it in the wrong place if I’m with my family.

because 1) awwww 2) he's right.

love the pic at the top of the post in particular - he looks good in denim!!

that quote made me tear up! so sweet.

I adore this dork. He's such a sweetheart. Eva got herself a decent guy.

I have no faith the Oscars would ask him.

They white-washed the hell out of Naatu Naatu last year when the actors were THERE and they could have danced in the number. Maybe not the whole number but at least part of it. I'm still mad about that.

Lol that first pic with the yellow sweater almost looks photoshopped. Like someone pasted his head poorly onto someone else's body

The Naatu Naatu thing makes me mad. I enjoyed the performance until someone pointed out the actors weren't asked (I thought they turned it down) and that the main dancers weren't South Asian.

[cuteej4]

That number also screams going out to the audience and pulling people up to the stage. It would have made it even better. I don't think *any* of the dancers were South Asian.

[xdecadentx]

Yeah I read an article that said the only two South Asians on stage were the singers.

The hair bleach was a wrong choice. The combination of hair color and just accentuated his age, which lead to backlash. And I think, it wouldn’t have happened if he had his natural hair color, even in the promotional tour he looked younger.

[kamikashi]

yeah i dont think the bleached hair was necessary at all

[kris_terror]

I disagree, I think the bleach looking kinda bad made it funnier

[edie]

yeah, he looked too orange for that hair

[evillemmons]

[gillenvillain]

Same. It's one of the few reasons I would actually watch. I just want a fun god damned performance that makes me smile.

I love the Animaniacs shout out.

Chicken Boo was one of the weirder things exposed to us as children.

[madame_no]

Holy shit, I just recalled the Chicken Boo theme song from a very dark, dusty corner of my mind.
