SAN FRANCISCO — Youth in Revolt star Michael Cera looks older than the sex-starved 16-year-old he plays in the adaptation of C.D. Payne’s classic novel. The wry, almost-lanky actor is confident and taller than you’d expect. He certainly doesn’t look like a “Guido” fromJersey Shore.
To promote Friday’s release of Youth in Revolt, Cera insisted that MTV set him up with Shore’s cast of gauche party cretins for a makeover, Sicilian-style. If Cera’s brand new hairdo (courtesy of DJ Pauly D) and a hop in the hot tub with spray-tan hotties doesn’t send the masses flocking to the box office this weekend, nothing will.
For all its cringe-worthy hair catastrophes, Cera’s perfect composure during the publicity stunt (video at right) illustrates his potent presence as an actor.
It’s a role the 21-year-old is just growing into this year, as he portrays two cult characters on the big screen.
