When you think of Jon Cryer, you don’t think of him as someone who could rap one of Queen Latifah‘s songs. But that is exactly what he did on her show today when he belted out her hit Dance with Me. I guess he learned a 4th R at The Bronx High School of Science and that would be rapping.
You know what, now that Two and a Half Men is ending, I could totally see his next career move being rapper. Watch out Snow, Duckie is here to take over your turf.
Stop the presses, something is happening I never thought would happen. Jon Cryer is bringing back Duckie for one night only on the season premiere of Two and a Half Men. That’s right, for years he fought his Pretty in Pink persona, but on October 30th we will see him back in the threads that made him famous in 1986. Can you believe it has been 28 years because he actually looks younger now than he did when he was just 21 playing the role that won the hearts of teenage girls all over the world! Molly Ringwald might not have thought that his lips were kissable, but we did and still do.
Now I just have to conclude this post with three words, “Thank you, CBS!”
Jon Cryer has been acting for over 30 years and yesterday while he was The Late Show, David Letterman showed off some of the interesting hairdos he had in some of his movies throughout the year. As Duckie was naming the movies that each hairstyle came from he declared, “It’s not loss upon me that many of movies I have done have titles that could be gay p0rn.” So let’s look at resume and see if he is right. There was No Small Affair, Pretty in Pink, Dudes, Hiding Out, The Famous Teddy Z, Hot Shots!, The Waiter, Heads, The Pompatus of Love, Partners, Getting Personal, The Trouble with Normal, Stay Cool and the winner of them all…Two and a Half Men! Yeah, it sounds more like he has a had a career in adult entertainment than entertaining adults.
Jon Cryer was on Conan O’Brien’s talk show yesterday and the TBS late night host shared a picture of his guest when he played Duckie in the coming of age classic Pretty in Pink. The two men talked about his beautiful mane of hair when he was in that timeless movie and then Cryer admitted it’s pretty much all gone now. Wait, what? The Two and a Half Men star looks like he has a full head of hair on the CBS sitcom. I mean look at him. Well just like Hollywood, it is fake. So how does he get that illusion of having hair? He went into detail about it and it is basically people rolling something like a black shoe polish all over his head and then adding a powder on top of it. I totally wouldn’t have known, had I not seen pictures of him without the paint and powder. They really do an amazing job with it and he has such a great attitude about it. Seriously don’t you just adore how lovable he comes off during interviews? You just want to hug him and squeeze him and show him what a mistake Molly Ringwald made by not choosing him. If it were up to me, I would’ve gone for a three-way because there was no way I was going to decide between Andrew McCarthy and him! In fact, I still can’t decide which one I would choose because they both aged so nicely!
We all watched as The Town Crier in London announced the birth of Prince William and Kate Middleton’s son, and Conan O’Brien decided he wanted one of his very own for his TBS late night talk show. So he decided to take someone from the Warner Bros lot, and that person is Jon Cryer who tapes his show Two and a Half Men nearby. What happens next is so stupid that is actually really funny. Plus it is nice to see Duckie do something different than what we normally see him doing!
