Why Michael Cera Doesn't Get Many Movie Offers Anymore

Рет қаралды 575,055

Күн бұрын

There was a time when a plotline in a movie needed a loveable loser with a heart of gold, Michael Cera was first in line. Cera started his career as a child actor and gained prominence when he played George Michael Bluth on the hit sitcom Arrested Development.
He then popped up in feature films like Evan in the hilarious coming-of-age teen comedy Superbad and Paulie Bleeker in Juno. His lovable loser status was cemented when he starred as the romantic lead in rom-com action-comedy Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.
So, what has happened to Cera since his streak of successful movies? Has he worn out his go-to archetype, or is he just taking a break from the limelight?

Chris S I feel so unsure As I take your hand And lead you to the dance floor As the music dies Something in your eyes Calls to mind a silver screen And all its sad goodbyes I'm never gonna dance again Guilty feet have got no rhythm Though it's easy to pretend I know you're not a fool I should've known better than to cheat a friend And waste the chance that I've been given So I'm never gonna dance again The way I danced with you Time can never mend The careless whispers of a good friend To the heart and mind Ignorance is kind There's no comfort in the truth Pain is all you'll find I'm never gonna dance again Guilty feet have got no rhythm Though it's easy to pretend I know you're not a fool I should've known better than to cheat a friend And waste the chance that I've been given So I'm never gonna dance again The way I danced with you Tonight the music seems so loud I wish that we could lose this crowd Maybe it's better this way We'd hurt each other with the things we want to say We could have been so good together We could have lived this dance forever But now who's gonna dance with me Please stay I'm never gonna dance again Guilty feet have got no rhythm Though it's easy to pretend I know you're not a fool I should've known better than to cheat a friend And waste the chance that I've been given So I'm never gonna dance again The way I danced with you Now that you're gone Now that you're gone Now that you're gone Was what I did so wrong So wrong that you had to leave me alone?

I've always wanted to work with Tajja Isen. Maybe she was not as interested in on-camera acting or "going Hollywood" as Michael Cera, but I still remember - they played Brother Bear and Sister Bear on The Berenstain Bears. Now, I live in the United States and they live in East Canada, but I always figured - since Michael Cera has been in a few animated films and TV with American voice actors after he was in Arrested Development, well I always wanted to do the same with Tajja in my own cartoons one of these days. I really enjoyed her performances in Super Why and Atomic Betty. June 4, 2020, 3:14am

Social media is what you make of it IMO. If you don't want to go around sharing your intimate moments, then share something else.

I use Twitter almost entirely for business and industry networking, I don't post any social or personal information at all.
