14 DAY TRIAL // In 2003, Ben Stiller wrote, directed and starred in a movie that went on to be labeled the twisted comedy to end all twisted comedies, both because of the plot and hilarious dialog, and because of the countless stars he got to appear in it. Among them was also Tom Cruise, almost unrecognizable in a fat suit and extra bodily hair, as the foul-mouthed Les Grossman, manager to the stars. In the latest promo for the MTV Movie Awards, Grossman is back, as ShockYa can confirm.
And you won’t even guess who he’s managing now: none other than “Twilight” star and British heartthrob Robert Pattison, who is not exactly in the habit of putting on too many appearances, regardless of whether they’re on TV or on the red carpet. Still, when Pattinson does agree to do something, the result is nothing short of extraordinary, as it is the case with this promo – and despite the fact that he’s mocking himself in it.
Grossman is Pattinson’s manager in the video, which you can also see embedded at the end of this article. Robert, known for his trademark and apparently unkempt looks and tousled hair, tells Les he’s thinking of attending the MTV Movie Awards and perhaps changing a thing or two about his appearance as well, like getting a haircut, washing his hair and perhaps shaving too. “I'm thinking about cleaning up a little bit, maybe get a suit, have a shave, maybe wash my hair,” Pattinson says in a little voice.
To this, Les goes into rampage mode, telling the actor, sarcastically, of course, that he’ll personally arrange for a hairdresser to give him a blow-wave. “And then I'll give you the number of a good plumber because you've just flushed your [expletive]-ing career down the toilet! Your filthy hair made you a star! Your filthy hair made me hundreds of millions of dollars and sent my fat-[expletive] kid to space camp four times!” Les says. In the end, he convinces Robert to use, instead of shampoo, dirt, and mutters almost to himself, very satisfied, “That’s my dirty dog!”
Fans of Les Grossman will also be happy to know that this is not the only MTV promo released either. Another video sees Grossman giving indications to Tom Cruise himself, as he’s about to shoot one of the most iconic scenes in modern cinema. Check that one out as well below and, of course, enjoy.
