In 1959 Fred Astaire had a TV special in which he decided to dress up as Alfred E. Neuman… Yes, that Alfred E. Neuman, Mad Magazine’s mascot.

 

Not content to half-azz things (this is Fred Astaire we’re talking about), he decided to bring in one of the best makeup men in the business, Mr. John Chambers… He was featured yesterday in the Planet of the Apes pic… John Goodman played him in Argo. Legend.

 

So, John Chambers brought Astairefred E. Neuman to life and the results are at once incredibly impressive and frightening.

 

Here’s the crazy scary pic. I’m not kidding around. That is really unsettling.

 

 

 

 

Now,hold on to your hats kids.We've got the video.
