Jason Bateman and Will Arnett Tackle Beauty for ‘Mansome’
"Metrosexual" and "manscaping" have been part of the male beauty lexicon for years now (and don’t get us started on “pejazzling”), but according to a new documentary, we’ve barely touched the surface.
Mansome, a new documentary by Morgan Spurlock (the brain behind Super Size Me), takes a closer look at the treatments, products, and procedures that men are doing all in the name of beauty.
"I think suddenly the people who make women's skin-care products realized they were missing a whole other side of this business by not catering to men," Spurlock told the Wall Street Journal of the film, which includes cameo appearances by the likes of Paul Rudd, Zach Galifianakis, and Judd Apatow. More laughs come courtesy of Jason Bateman and Will Arnett, who are also executive producers of the film.
"What this film confirmed for me was that men are not allergic to the mirror at all," Bateman told the Journal. "We want to be as pretty as the females. Body-hair removal, facial and scalp hair manipulation, skin care—men basically do the same things, but are more secretive about them."
Check out the trailer above. Mansome hits select theaters May 18.
