‘Superbad’s McLovin Tempts Fate; Jokingly Says He’ll Never Work Again

Ok, this is supposed to be a tongue in cheek, self-aware joke, but it sort of hits too close to home doesn’t it? Sure, Christopher Mintz-Plasse (aka “Superbad”s McLovin) is now part of the extended Judd Apatow-crew family players and will star in “Year One,” with Michael Cera and Jack Black, but does his career have legs after that? Will he be a crystal meth addict by the time he reaches 25? Kristen Bell and the family players obviously don’t think so (though you can detect nervous laughter within), but why tempt fate so brazenly? This is sort of akin to standing in a barren field in the middle of a raging thunderstorm and screaming at the sky in irreverently mocking tones, “Oooooh, you’re going to strike me with lightning are you? Wooo! I’m scared!” It’s not necessarily the stupidest thing you can do, but it’s not really advised either.
