Photoshop Fail: Matthew McConaughey for Dolce & Gabbana

09/02/2010 by

Excessive airbrushing: it’s not just for ladies anymore! Apparently we can also use it to smooth away the rugged charm that makes a guy like Matthew McConaughey so appealing in the first place.

It’s Mattel McConaughey! Seriously, he looks so plastic, he may want to check and make sure he doesn’t have Ken-crotch.

I’ve never been one to swoon much for Matthew McConaughey, but I will concede that he’s a good-lookin’, masculine country dude that can clean up nice on the red carpet. Since pretty people sell when it comes to the big designers, it’s no surprise D&G would retain Matthew as a spokesperson to make themselves look good. So why did they make him look so very NOT good?

Now THIS is the kind of guy that sells men’s cologne:

    My name is G.G.R and I approve of Matthew McConaughey with a beard.

  • http://www.minoandman-man.blogspot.com Dawn

    This calls for a line from ‘Spaceballs’: Jeez Chrissy, what’s wrong with his head?!?!

  • Becky

    He doesn’t even look like himself. Part of his charm is his ruggedness (swoon). He looks like he’s 15 in that pic.

  • Keryn

    Is it just me, or does he look like Christian Bale??

    • flahflahfleeflo

      I agree…. I thought it was a Christian Bale/McConoheyey…. ummm… Matthew… mashup

  • http://hiddenmahala.com Mahala

    He looks like the side of his face got smooshed all lopsided. Lopsided never looks good on anyone.

  • Beckie

    Maybe we’re being punked. Maybe they did the D&G ads with his waxed likeness from Madam T.

  • http://everyoneissocrazy.blogspot.com/ Sue

    Ugh. He just looks bizarre, there is nothing attractive about that ad. ew.

    That is a very unnatural angle for one’s neck/head. CREEPY.

    UNCANNY VALLEY! UNCANNY VALLEY!!!

    If we could get MMC to play bongos naked at Sparklecorn next year, I think people would be interested in it. Just something to keep in mind.

    • http://jumpwithfaith.blogspot.com Kim

      I concur with Ms. KBO. Also I would max out my credit cards to attend said Sparklecorn if a naked MMC played bongos. Extra points if he rides a unicorn.

    Why in the hell is his left shoulder a good six inches lower than his right? And WHAT happened to his face????

    Yuck. Photoshop fail for sure.

  • http://gonewiththejen.blogspot.com/ JenGid

    First, I heart him. Second, the photo makes it look like he has the neck of an ostrich. It’s freaking me out. Anyway I thought MM was a proponent of eu de natural smells? D&G ad fail for sure.

      He looks wasted…uh I mean the Photostopper made him look emaciated. No guy has shoulders and chest that narrow, right? Except for may Urkel.

  • Maryellen

    It looks like they plopped his Photoshopped head on a someone else’s Photoshopped body. Bleh!

  • incognito

    But I am definitely going to work the term “rocket surgery” into a conversation soon.

  • bj

    matthew mcconaughey or austin scarlett? you decide.

    He looks a little like Bill Nye the Science Guy here.

  • fyreflynight

    It’s OK. I’m already a sworn Old Spice girl anyway…

  • Bitchin’ Amy

    The did the exact same thing to Scarlett Johansson, only made it so you couldn’t even tell it was her. Stoopid, D&G.

    maybe this is a scene from time machine bathtub and they took him back to pre puberty which they apparently thought would sell since they determined all women should look like young boys, now they are trying to turn our men into young boys, soon we will all be young boys. or zombies. shit

  • sf

    Is it me or does it look like he has Christian Bale’s mouth?

  • Cincy

    Who approves this stuff?! I don’t even believe his HAND looks like that. Also–isn’t he the Anti-anti-perspirant guy? Not sure I’d buy him as smelling good–even with cologne piled on.

  • http://muirnait.blogspot.com Heather

    Seriously bad photoshop. It’s definitely the “rugged” thing that makes him hot, so I don’t know why they had to go ruin it :P

  • Ashley

    Always wondered what McConaughey and Michael Bolton’s bastard love child would look like.

    Now I know.
