Thank you. It’s less about which actor is naturally a dead ringer physically for someone, and who is close enough but will be able to embody them/portray them best. Elizabeth Banks is great, but Charlize is SOOOO fantastic at inhabiting her characters that she was without a doubt the better call to make.

What the hell did she do to her face?!?

Because the acting is the most important part and any biopic type film uses makeup to enhance resemblance. Elizabeth Banks is talented but Charlize Theron is one of the best chameleon actors around and a much larger draw than Banks. Actors aren’t totally interchangeable and they successfully made her look like the…

It’s not surgery. It’s very carefully and expensively crafted makeup to look like Kelly. That’s not how her face actually looks IRL. It's prosthetics and brilliant contour.

She’s such a phenomenal character actress. And she apparently manages to do it without becoming a Method Asshole like Bale or Leto.

Nicole Kidman is now playing the same role (Gretchen Carlson) her oldest and best friend Naomi Watts just played (and played really well)! 

It’s insane. I literally don’t see Charlize there. I straight up didn’t recognize her in the trailer.

Years ago, I was driving on a 2-lane road with my 1 year old in the backseat, and we happened upon an accident just before police and EMS arrived. This was a large sedan vs. motorcycle accident, and the motorcyclist never had a chance. The bike was completely mangled to the point that it wasn’t immediately recognizable…

“Eh, fuck keeping our jobs after that brain bleed kills her!”

Am I misunderstanding her post or does she talk about losing someone in a motorcycle crash years ago and having to decide whether to get on a bike again? I mean, tacky is not even the word for this vileness 

Also, the handsome man dressed *just so* in ruggedwear rushing to her aide does not help convince me that this was not a set-up

Had a friend in college who skidded off the road on a motorcycle. I was into photography at the time so she asked me to take pictures of her injuries to submit to the insurance company. She did not look like this. Think cheese grater on skin.

Wait, is she saying she didn’t go to the ER after the “wreck?” What, did the nice ambulance drivers just taxi her to her house???

To add a little second-hand first responder knowledge:

I think what sold it as fake to me was the attached story. After the accident, some random good samaritans who just happened to have a trailer, loaded her bike onto their trailer, and drove her and her friends back to her home. Upon which they all just chilled and listened to music, including these random strangers…

For real. Also, on top of the stupid focus on the water, neither of the helmets in the “crash” photo match her helmet in the previous photo. And she was only sore the next day? Fucking no road rash or bruises or grass stains(crashing on a bicycle will give you hella road rash, so you’re going to be banged up good on a…

“Smart Water: The Official Water of Motorcycle Accidents”

If she’d slid over the concrete dressed like that, her bare arms, chest and back would look like raw meat. There is no way this isn’t staged.

No scrapes or other skin marks, no skid marks, no tamped down or uprooted grass from the crash, and the bike is very clean. I am no fake picture expert, but what I see are two models trying to look very serious and very pretty for a staged shoot.

If I got into an accident of any type and my friend was taking pictures, I would get new friends. This is a new level of tacky for sponcon.
