Well that's pretty rude. Kathy Bates is an attractive person and doesn't deserve this kind of slander.

[–] Nurgus@lemmy.world 27 points 2 months ago

Kathy Bates is an excellent actor and excellent actors love to play villains.

[–] remotelove@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 months ago

That's why we have Roseanne. (A perfectly decent replacement, IMHO.)

[–] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 months ago

Charlize Theron is one of the most beautiful women of all time and won her Oscar for playing someone....not that. What I'm saying is that I honestly think Kathy Bates has the acting chops to pull it off.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

agreed, and also this photo is unrealistically flattering to him. he normally doesn't look half as good as he does here.

Kathy Bates from 20 years ago?

This is what she looks like recently

[–] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

Damn. That does not look like a 76 year old woman. Good on her.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wow, she's unrecognizable in that photo.

[–] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Gotta be ozempic. Hollywood is obsessed with that shit, and YouTube keeps pushing it

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

That's a pretty harsh conclusion. Not saying it isn't true, but why jump to that?

Also, who watches YouTube with ads? Ublock or newpipe on the phone is great.

And correct me if I'm wrong, but the long-term effects haven't been studied yet, have they?

I'm fully expecting some side effect to come whooping ass some time down the line

[–] mint_tamas@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Ozempic was an established drug before, it just wasn’t widely prescribed for non-diabetics. That is not say there is no chance of long term harm (and I share the sense that some downside will eventually come to light), but it’s not a huge chance.

She was successful through all her career without weightloss. Now she's somewhat unrecognisable, which I see a much bigger obstical for her career.

But she is 76 by now, chances are she had some kind of health issues that made her lose weight.

[–] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Similar to John Goodman, it's lose weight or die at that age

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Oh nice, for some reason I was under the impression she had died in the last year or two. Now I'm wondering if I was just mistaken, ate a hoax, or was recently merged back into this timeline a la mandela effect.

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 34 points 2 months ago (2 children)

He doesn't deserve Kathy Bates. He can be played by Rob Schneider.

[–] CheeryLBottom@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

I really like Kathy Bates. I wouldn't do that to her

[–] masquenox@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

He can be played by Rob Schneider.

Congrats. You win the internet today.

[–] LEDZeppelin@lemmy.world 30 points 2 months ago

Her screen name can be Master Bates

[–] PhatalFlaw@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago
[–] cybervseas@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

idk if there's anyone left on twitter, but if there is, they should get this trending over there.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 8 points 2 months ago

What, do you want people to like him or something.

[–] norimee@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

I love Kathy Bates. She could totally pull that off.

On the other hand, I don't want to associate her forever with Elon Musk. I'd rather have someone I don't like anyways play him. Your all american scumbag. Maybe Tom Cruise or Kevin Spacey were a suitable choice.

Misery 2: Villainaire Boogaloo

[–] nicknonya@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 months ago

musk would be furious that a woman is playing him and would probably try to sue for defamation. so yes we should absolutely do this

Dirty Birdy

[–] OhVenus_Baby@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

Makes you feel old when you see an actor as you remember them in a movie vs reality and seeing them age.

[–] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Huh, interesting.

[–] inbeesee@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Insulting to Kathy

[–] CptEnder@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

He should be so fuckin lucky
