Snap, I can’t believe what I just saw…the girlfriend left the TV on E! so I’m watching the replay of the Academy Awards Red Carpet show. Of course it’s your typical show of Ryan Seacrest interviewing celebs, asking a few questions, and getting designers wet by asking who made the dress…you know, things that us guys really care about.
In the middle of the interviews, Seacrest begins to hobnob with a familiar looking, wanna-be cool bald dude about their ties and how they’re bringing the skinny tie back. Again, things us guys really care about (Michael Irvin and Shannon Sharpe non-withstanding).
So imagine my surprise to hear Seacrest mention something about movies from a long time ago…namely Bad News Bears. And then it hit me! That’s Kelly effin’ Leak on the Red Carpet.
Apparently he threw the cigarettes, leather jacket, and motorcycle aside and was nominated as Best Supporting Actor for his role in Little Children. Incredible! Oh yeah, Kelly’s known to the rest of the world as Jackie Earle Haley in case you were wondering.
UPDATE: A friend informed me that this story “has been in the news for a long time.” (Sports Gone South had it a month ago). I didn’t think I was the first one to notice this, but I still figured it was worth sharing with you all…besides, I’m a sports guy, you don’t really think I’m up-to-date on my entertainment news, do you?
