whats up with the black cap and black coat ?


This guy has worn the same god damn thing in the last 8-10 films.. The black baseball cap and black jacket black shirt and pants.. Just off the top of my head Bag Man, Reclaim, Drive Hard, The Prince, Maps To The Stars( only the cap in a few scenes),Frozen Ground, Grand Piano and The Factory..Oh and Hot Tub 2 he came out with the black hat again.... I was shocked when he played a Roman Soldier in Dragon Blade he actually wore something different..
I know for a fact Al Pacino picks his own clothes.. He will not let a costume designer dictate what he wears.. Now that Cusack has dropped more to B movies although some of them are very good is he bullying the director to just wear what he likes ..?? I guess directors like Cronenberg or Lee Daniels have enough pull to reign him in...

I don't know if he picks his own clothes, but why not to wear it, if it suits his role and he feels comfortable in it cause I think he is very natural, cool actor so that is probably his style.

No doubt he's comfortable he's wardrobed in the same attire going on over a half dozen films but I do agree he is quite a good actor and he would probably be better off taking supporting roles in better films than the string of mediocre straight to DVD jobs he's been churning out so often now.. He's better than some of the films he's in..

He's been wearing the same clothes since the 80's. I'm sure its somewhere in his contract or something that he gets to choose his own clothes. I like his style, it suits him and never takes away from any roles that he is in. I will give you that he does wear the same types of clothes though.

In Arsenal he not only wears the ball caps but adds a sweatshirt hood over it!
It might be his new thing!
He should add window shutters or act from behind a wall next time!
Really crappy wardrobe choices.
