In this interview with GQ, the award-winning actor revisits his roles from Being John Malkovich, Con Air, Rounders, Dangerous Liaisons, Burn After Reading, and others.

Super Realistic Mario

Adam from North of the Border made realistic versions of some Super Mario Bros. monsters, so it was only a matter of time before he got to Mario himself. His less-cartoony Mario imagines Nintendo’s plumber as a gritty, stubble-faced human with proportions based on the Norse god Thor. Instead of a hammer, Mario carries a pipe to take down his enemies.

Tractor Pulls Snow Tubes on a Frozen Lake

Tractor Pulls Snow Tubes on a Frozen Lake

Here’s a fun winter activity – a tractor that pulls 28 people on innertubes around a frozen lake. This ride can be enjoyed in Heihe, China, a popular destination for tourists from nearby Russia. We see no reason the same can’t be done anywhere you have a tractor, a frozen lake, and a bunch of rope – the more powerful the tractor, the more people you can pull.

Michael Jackson + Judas Priest = Judas Jackson

You’ve Got Another Thing Comin’, Billie Jean.

We think Rob Halford’s spiked leather sleeves would look great paired with MJ’s sequined glove.
