The new star of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 opened up about why he finally dressed up like the Pixar character he was compared to all these years.
You’ve probably heard Will Poulter’s name a lot lately, and for a good reason.
During a feature for GQ, the 30-year-old actor went undercover on social media to see what people were really saying about him.
It started light-hearted, with him searching “the actor with the eyebrows” on Google, which oddly pulled up dozens of photos and articles about him despite most actors having... eyebrows.
When Will switched over to Twitter, things got serious for a moment. He came across a tweet from a user asking why he dressed up like Sid Phillips from Toy Story back in 2017. “Thought he hated this comparison, so how did this happen in the end? Knowing him he must have done it for a reason," they wrote.
Will candidly explained his reason for dressing up like his least favorite comparison, saying, “I did do it in light of some of the comparisons between me and Sid from Toy Story that were going around on the internet.”
“I work with Anti-Bullying Pro and the Diana Award, I did it during anti-bullying week to raise awareness of that organization," Will said. "So, that was that."
When he shared the tweet at the time, he wrote, "In addition to having a laugh at my expense, I wanted to try and raise some attention for a cause I am an ambassador for! @antibullyingpro.”
FYI, October is National Bullying Prevention Month. October 2 is World Day of Bullying Prevention.
