White man plays Persian prince because it obviously markets better in Hollywood

……bwahahahaha!!!

Hmm, I wonder why Danny Boyle didn’t think of this when he cast “Slumdog Millionaire”.  Stupid!  Just look how beautifully convincing Mr. Gyllenhaal looks so far.  For a second, I really thought he was Persian with the dark dark hair, bushy chest, and palish skin tone clearly seen above.  Like this guy:

  1. Funny as hell. Makes me think of the dude that played King Xerxes in 300. At least they made a lesser attempt at authenticity…he is Brazilian after all!

    • Brazilian sure. But the funny thing is that in real life he looks more Persian than Gyllenhaal. For 300, don’ ask me why, they made him really dark and weird looking. Never mind Gyllenhaal, in this movie, his “brother” looks like a viking. That was very funny.

  2. So true…I hadn’t even noticed the discrepancy. When will Hollywood learn?

  3. mmm persians in the U.S are classified as caucasian/white by the gov’t.

    nd original persians were from the caucuses mountains and were whites. even today there are lots of iranians/ persians that look very european, I know persians/iranians with blonde hair and blue eyes but the majority have dark hair/ eyes but they are caucasians nonetheless there are persians that look much whiter than jake gylenhaal even today.

    persian.
