The 80’s? I grew up with him in the 90’s. Every day is Lenny Henry’s heyday.

Sir Lenworth Was the shrunken head on the Knight Bus In Prisoner of Azkaban

You wouldn't steal a car. Identity piracy is a crime.

Loved him in Chef! And he was great in Broadchurch. Him and Dawn French must have been a fun couple to hang out with!
ButterfaceTaintClown
as Dawn French told one interviewer "the kind of love making that would break your legs"

My friend doesn't get it, can you help me explain it to them?
Denim777
pm used black face makeup as a joke a couple times, people took massive offense. i dont like him, but this is kinda goofy to get heat for.
Xodus2kX
Thank you, I agree with you. As does my friend, who thanks you for your explanation.

How hard I laughed is proportional to how long it took my monkey brain to click.

He was an excellent genie.

Not British humour - that's just some unfunny guy trying to be funny by playing the race card. he's a 24c twat. He always was, always will.

Your welcome...JK! You're welcome. ?

OK, what did Trudeau do?
huntersbar
He was in a Brit sketch show in the 80s with Tracey Ullman (yes, that one) and David Copperfield (no, not that one) called Three of a Kind

Lenny Henry stared in a movie called true identity where he wore makeup to look like a white guy to hide from the mob.
FourLegsGood
And no one complained?
WeylandAve
Noone complained. It was 30 years ago, things were different back then.

So much hoopla about a blackface 20 years ago. I'm here to tell you that, today, orange is the new black. Worry about that instead.
Nukro77
Loool sick reference bro

4 conservative americans disagreed :-P

Here is a lolerific fact for you, when Lenny was a struggling actor he actually starred in the Black and White Minstrel Show in the UK.

He was also in a film where he had to 'white up' to avoid the mob

...Okay but that makeup job is fucking amazing though, is the movie good?

Yeah it's alright, silly comedy, bit dated now

He could’ve avoided the whole issue by blueing himself

He ain't no Keanu that's for sure

Photos of Justin Trudeau wearing blackface at a college party in 2001 were recently dug up. People aren't happy.
SgtDefaultGN
It was actually three separate instances, one of which he’s jumping around making monkey noises.
phantomIimb
True. And one of which he was a drama teacher dressed as Aladdin.
SgtDefaultGN
Yes sir, so not really three instances of blackface, more like three instances of him doing some racist shit.
lawideas
I am! Smug little shit lived by identity politics and now it's time for him to die by identity politics.

^ This. If any other politician had done this, he would definitely be on his high horse of morality. Cut me the slack I wouldn't cut others.
blairmichod
He's so cute tho.
NoPantsOhClock
If it were just the blackface that was subtracting from his 'woke' score, he'd still be net positive. That SNC scandal, -100 pts to feminism
