John Cusack Not Complete


Every man who grew up in the 1980s wanted to be John Cusack or be in John Cusack, depending on his sexual orientation. Cusack epitomized cool, but was still vulnerable and sensitive. As most young stars mature, they grow into hideous self-parodies before joining the cast of “Celebrity Fit Club” or “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew.” Not so with Cusack, whose films are often self-examinations of a once-cool guy trying to deal with middle age (“Grosse Point Blank,” “High Fidelity” and even, sigh, “Hot Tub Time Machine”). High Times magazine recently named him Stoner of the Year, but don’t let that fool you into thinking John Cusack is a slacker. When he’s not busy acting, he regularly writes political op-eds for The Huffington Post. Robert Pattinson is this generation’s John Cusack, but without the talent, brains or charm. A little known fact: Cusack’s skin actually sparkles in the sun, without makeup or special effects.
