His wrinkly forehead?


I've always wondered what in the heck is up with that. This guy overuses his facial expressions more than Jim Carey, and Carey is supposed to do it (at least in a lot of his movies anyway). You've all seen the stupid poses people do for pics nowadays - they open their eyes wide and make their forehead wrinkled. I never really paid attention to it until I noticed Seth Rogen doing it on the cover of every movie release he's had. I am willing to bet nobody can tell you why they do this other than they copy other people because that's what everyone else is doing. This guy is just now at the age when he may or may not get wrinkles. Freaks me out every time I see him in a movie. Wait for it... yep, there it is. The overacting facial expressions. In "Boyz n the Hood" he had this weird thing he did by looking out of the corner of his eye. Kind of like he was facing one way, but looking up in the corner of the ceiling in the opposite direction and then moved his head to where is eyes were looking. I'm not hating on the guy, I'm just still surprised at that Oscar after all these years. His acceptance speech was better than his performance in the movie.
