Who's Your Favourite Michael?

[-]

flyingokapis@reddit

Tyson.

Yes, I'm aware he is by no means perfect and has some serious flaws, but I just find his life too be so interesting.

[-]

Flat_Tie4090@reddit

A rape conviction is interesting, really ? Maybe it was the ear biting thing you like.

[-]

He has lived an interesting life, you're just making it weird and trying to make out the only interest I have are the worst parts of his life, because you disagree with a comment. There are many people in history who have committed awful crimes and they are still interesting people.

There are literally shows on people like Dahmer, Manson etc which are watched by millions, because they are interesting.

But yeah, you sit on that high horse..

[-]

Dimac99@reddit

The question is "who's your favourite Micheal?" and you chose the convicted rapist who bit off a man's ear during a boxing match because punching him wasn't violent enough. I don't think you've any room to be talking about high horses.

[-]

flyingokapis@reddit

Right..

My favourite Michael is Tyson, so what? Yours isn't, but here you are on your high horse acting like it's a big deal because my answer is different to yours.. weird.

[-]

Dimac99@reddit

Nobody cares that your answer is "different" and it's disingenuous of you to pretend not to understand.

chicken_nugget94@reddit

Fun fact is that he legally changed his name to Michael Caine (previously just his acting name) after repeatedly getting stopped at passport security as they would recognise him but his name on the document would be different

Yep, "rich and famous people talking like they are working class" is one of my pet hates.

[-]

Fluid_Assumption_457@reddit

He was working class long before he was rich and famous though. He's upfront about using his accent to his advantage - because it was so rare on screen back then. Can't blame him for not losing it.

This is my favourite Michael.

Wanted: Rematch Hi. I am Michael and in 1985, I finished 2nd in the Under 6 Egg & Spoon race at St Anthony's school’s sports day. If you were the winner of that race, meet me there at 11.42am on Thursday and we will race again. I don’t recall your name but if I remember rightly, you are fast and the height of a child. I am much faster now than I was then so it should be a good race. I will bring an egg for you to use but you will have to bring your own spoon because most of my spoons are in the dishwasher and I have not been able to open it since February. I can switch it on and off but I can’t open the door. Maybe the latch is broken? Does that happen? I will call a plumber soon. Michael

[-]

finniruse@reddit

What do you like him in?

I've never though much of him tbh. As Dumbledore, he was like: "I have no idea what I'm saying." Which is pretty fucking lame if you ask me.

[-]

Poo_Poo_La_Foo@reddit

...you think *he* didn't understand what he was saying? Or you didn't understand what he was saying?

He won BAFTAs, Olivier awards, and was knighted. All quite impressive!

[-]

finniruse@reddit

I saw an interview with him years ago where he said he'd never read the books and barely understood what he was saying in the HP movies. Having had a quick look there, it seems like it's part of his theory of giving a script/role his own interpretation.

I always felt like he didn't really understand the role.

Haven't seen him in anything else, so that's why I asked what you like him in, as that interview coloured my view of him.

[-]

Poo_Poo_La_Foo@reddit

I seeee. I mean, he was wise ahead of his time to not buy into the JK lore, I suppose.

[-]

Flat_Tie4090@reddit

Just because he was brilliant with music, doesn't alter the fact that he was a pervert.

[-]

Live-Upstairs@reddit

Was he though? Fucked in the head certainly. But was the kiddy stuff sexual? Because he was never convicted of anything. And well, he was brilliant with music so I can look past the weirdness. He was my childhood hero. Maybe I'm in denial 😅
