Strange, but tourists and locals in the heart of Times Square would rather pose for pictures and tip vagrants dressed in greasy Spider-Man and Elmo costumes than saddle up alongsideOscar-winningactressJulianne Moore. She recently joined the crowd of beggars in New York City, to see if she could collect tips in exchange for heracting abilities. Don’t worry, she hasn’t suddenly lost all her money. She’s not homeless. She’s actually doing a bit forFunny or Die’s Billy on the Street.
HostBilly Eichnerconvinced the extremely gameJulianne Mooreto strap on her tip purse and approach total strangers in the street. For a quarter, she’ll act out one of the scenes from her previous movies. Give the girl a dollar, and she’llcry on cue. It’s all rather hilarious. And another win forFunny or Die’s Billy on the Street, which had similar fun last month withChris Pratt.
ThoughChris Pratthas been called one of the most promising up and coming actors of this generation, no one inTimes Squareor the surrounding area knew who he was. And the one lady that recognized him, thought he was his Marvel counterpartChris Hemsworth.Julianne Moorefares a little better, but let’s just saw those who recognize her aren’t overly emotional to see her.
What this funny clip does prove is just what a great actressJulianne Mooreis. She has no problem delivering convincing lines that sound like she is having a veryemotional breakdownon the street. She can bring herself to tears on the drop of a dime. And she does this confronting a tourist who has absolutely no idea who she is, or who she is supposed to be. This lady needs more Oscars!
Julianne Mooreis setting the bar incredibly high forFunny or Die’s Billy on the Street. And it will be hard to top her sidewalk performance in this interactive game show. The funniest moment here might come from a kid in a yarmulke who lovesThe Big Lebowski. But he doesn’t quite recall what roleJulianne Mooremay have had in the movie.
Take a look at the latest clip fromFunny or Die’s Billy on the Street. It ends as it should, withJulianne Mooreand a crowd of onlookers shouting at a poor costumed street performer, ‘F’ Spider-Man." That may not be very lady like, but it sure is hilarious.
