Steve Carell's reaction is hilarious! 😂 Reminds me of my friends roasting my new haircut. Glad Gosling didn't take it to heart and went for the look anyway for Project Hail Mary.

Interesting to see actors talk about the small, funny insecurities behind the scenes. We only see the final glamorous product. The Big Short was a great film though, wig or no wig!

While the story is cute, calling a wig "trauma" feels a bit dramatic when real people face actual trauma daily. Maybe a poor choice of words, but I get it's meant to be lighthearted.

The film's plot with the alien named Rocky sounds like a fun watch. Good to see sci-fi that might focus on bonding and not just explosions. Will check it out this weekend.
