John Fetterman cast in cameo in Netflix film because of his 'incredible face'

OK, we thought this was a joke. But it’s not. Senator-elect John Fetterman has a cameo in an upcoming Netflix film with Christian Bale, and Bale said Fetterman has “an incredible face” that fits in with the 1830s setting. No, really:

Aubrie Spady reports:

The film “The Pale Blue Eyes” follows the story of a detective investigating the murder of a West Point cadet in 1830s New York. In a photo Fetterman tweeted Friday, the incoming Senator sports large mutton chop facial hair and is dressed in a long coat, alongside with his wife who sports a bonnet.

The creators of the film said in a forum following a recent screening that they met Fetterman while filming in Braddock, Pennsylvania — where Fetterman was mayor before becoming Democratic lieutenant governor and later running for Senate.

“John’s got this incredible face,” said Bale, known for his famous role as Batman in “The Dark Knight.” Bale said he urged the director to cast Fetterman in an unknown role within the town. “That’s a face that fits in the 1830s,” Bale recalled saying.

It’s fantastic how they managed to work wife Gisele in there too.

Can you say pay to play? I guess after his stroke he's unable to write a book, so they just give him a small role in a Netflix's movie.

The Obamas' received $50 million dollars to their production company, "Higher Ground Productions," from Netflix with zero experience, weird.

Based on that neck growth I’d say Fetterstein is more qualified for a Sci-Fi movie. Alien4 where that 2nd life form in his neck bursts out and starts chasing Sigourney again. pic.twitter.com/sablUDxzf7

He was cast in The Goonies and it was a huge hit. Can maybe go 2 for 2?

We just absolutely continue to be astounded that this is Pennsylvania’s next senator … and her husband.

Congratulations Pennsylvania! While Philadelphia sets record after record for homicides and the DA is on the verge of being ousted, this is how your senator-elect is preparing for his six years on the hill. https://t.co/YlbWuiwWtA
