Along with our own man Dave Bourgeois, Hollywood Elsewhere's Jeffrey Wells has been promenading around the Croisette, taking in the sights, sounds, and obscure, decrepit French stars of the Cannes Film Festival. Today, Wells stumbled upon a bus shelter ad of a handsome man, which he captioned, "It took me a few seconds to realize who this is. Taken in Cannes either 28 or 30 years ago, I'm guessing. If I say for which films I'll be giving it away."
The file is named "albertbrooks.jpg." Wells' commenters were quick to correct him, however, pointing out the man in the photo is actually French superstar Guillaume Canet, of The Beach and Tell No One, and gently explaining that while there is a passing resemblance, the former has a "jewfro you can see from space." We've placed an era-appropriate photo of Brooks next to Canet, just to clear up any confusion.
As you can see, the angsts are completely different.
