Instamonkey: 'Reached for comment, D’AlCapone AlPacino Morris shed a single tear'

Sun, 09/13/2009 - 22:44 — Ben

Via FilmDrunk (whence I stole yet another headline) comes news of the Norwegian formerly known as Andreas Jankov:

"I wanted to show that it is possible to be serious and at the same time take the name you like," said Julius Andreas Gimli Arn MacGyver Chewbacka Highlander Elessar-Jankov. The movie enthusiast decided to change his name three years ago after radio host and comedian Espen Thoresen changed his name to Espen Thoresen-Hværsaagod-Takkskalduha.

I guess that's cooler than Julius Andreas Gimli Donknotts MacGyver Chewbacka Highlander Elessar-Jankov. But not by much.

By the way, you should really click through to the FilmDrunk link for a picture of Jankov. The new name is somehow fitting.

Dorkasaurus

Gotta hand it to you, Ben. When you advise clicking through to the link to see the pic ... it's good advice.

For those who haven't done it, I'll spoil the party (but it's in the comments, so what's the harm):

Chewbacca (I guess they spell it differently in Noway) is right. He's got the hair-and-girth starter set going. I hope he's tall.

The dork's got a great part-of name. Still doesn't beat the comic simplicity of "McLovin."

Less is more.
