REILLY HATES HAIRY ROLES
CHICAGO star JOHN C. REILLY refuses to get hairy for a film role - becaus e he can’t stand the idea of spending hours in a make-up chair.
The impatient actor admits he has turned down lucrative film offers bec ause the role demanded too much prosthetic preparation.
He explains, "I know after 20 minutes I get huffy. I just know myself. I was offered something in Planet of the Apes and I wouldn’t take it beca use it was an ape and I can’t sit in the chair for longer than a half hou r; I’d go crazy.
"I’ve always wanted to do a clown on film; clown make-up I could do. I can do make-up that you do yourself; it’s not someone poking you with rub ber.
"I used to be a clown when I was a teenager. I had two characters - one was a sad hobo and another was a country bumpkin with a plaid suit and b uck teeth. I did fairs and retirement homes through my church." (KL/RXM&W
