Callan, who plays the young Jay Gatsby in The Great Gatsby, and weirdly looks more like a young Leonardo than Leonardo did at the same age, opens up to Glow magazine about working on the lavish production. “It was an incredible experience to say the least. I have a strong role in flashback as Young Jay. It was an honor to be involved in such a production…. Leo is a terrific guy. Baz is talented and creative and incredible to work with. My only stories would relate to how do you turn a brunette (me) into a blonde, blue-eyed Young Gatsby. I had about seven eye appointments for hand painted lenses to match Leo’s eyes and they bleached my hair several times to get from brunette to blonde. The pre-production on this film was brilliant. I actually enjoyed watching the incredible detail they put into my role and the time spent to ensure that the cross between Leo and myself was flawless.” And flawless it was. I literally gasped when I realized it was another actor on the screen and not Leo, so seamless was the flashback. (via Just Jared)

I would pay good money to watch gay porn featuring celebrity dopplegangers Kit Harington of Game of Thrones and Christopher Abbott of Girls. Just putting it out there in case their careers ever go belly up.

The History Channel and executive producers of the mega-hit miniseries The Bible Mark Burnett and Roma Downey issued a flurry of statements saying that the actor they cast as Satan wasn’t supposed to look like Obama. Except, well, he DOES. “This is utter nonsense,” said Burnett. “The actor who played Satan, Mehdi Ouzaani, is a highly acclaimed Moroccan actor. He has previously played parts in several Biblical epics — including Satanic characters — long before Barack Obama was elected as our President.” Downey added, ”Both Mark and I have nothing but respect and love our President, who is a fellow Christian. False statements such as these are just designed as a foolish distraction to try and discredit the beauty of the story of The Bible.” Hmmmm. (via EW)
