Thomas Jane as Hex Photo is Sort of Real, Sort of Not Real, Completely Unreal
June 20, 2008 Comments
Thomas Jane has finally come out to address the dubious photograph of him made-up like half-disfigured comic cowboy Jonah Hex, saying, "Yes, that's me dressed as a comic book character, but not in any official capacity. I just thought maybe if I dressed up like Hex, they might cast me as him, and it's only kind of pathetic." From Film School Rejects:
Yeah, the pic is real all right – my pal Akiva Goldsman told me about the project and I fell in love with the idea right away. Being a huge fan of all things Hex – I just couldn’t help myself. I called up my buddy Chris Nelson and we spent a Saturday afternoon working up some make-up for this impromptu shoot and I fired a few pics off to Warners. How do people get a hold of this shit? It’s a little embarrassing seeing my fanboy enthusiasm spilled all over the web, but great scripts don’t come around too often, especially for characters I love.
We can only hope Warner Bros. takes note of Jane's commitment to career-forwarding cosplay and gives him the chance to finally be recognized as a comic book character with guns.
