Michael Cera

Michael Cera IS the sexiest man on the planet. He has appeared in a plethora of movies, and even though people say he only plays one character, THAT IS NOT TRUE!!!!! Look at Magic Magic, THAT'S A HORROR MOVIE!!! I say don't mess with perfection and why complain if he is unbelievably sexy in all?!?!
James: I don't really like any of Michael Cera's movies

The rest of society: *performs ritual sacrifice to the almighty god Michael Cera, he is force fed grape juice until his pee turns purple and he poops are a healthy brown color, then he is filled up air and used as a hot air balloon at the annual Cerafest (kinda like Coachella, but a billion times better)
