The Prestige


David Bowie in The Prestige
Originally uploaded by lodgerlow.
This past weekend I went to see the file The Presteige based on the book of the same name by Christopher Priest. The movie was everything I expected it to be and more. Rarely have I seen such a great movie of a great book. What really got me to blog about it however is the fact that I didn't notice that David Bowie was in it. (Shown right) Had this not been pointed out to me, I never would have known. I see him now, but the makeup job and accent were so spectacular, I had no idea it was him.

I guess that folk who haven't seen him since he had his heart attack might not recognise him. He's on steroids now (which put weight on you) and since he'll be 60 in a little under 2 months... he's not the Thin White Duke we all remember.

You may be interested in seeing him without makeup and accent - playing himself in Extras. It's a clip from YouTube.
