Jussie Smollett testifies that his face is 'very important' because he needed to look like the black Cary Grant

We’re following the Jussie Smollett trial via Matt Finn of Fox News, but even through his tweets, it’s almost impossible to ascertain what Smollett’s defense is, although he maintains his attack was not a hoax. There are some gems scattered among the testimony though. Smollett, who says he has a permanent scar under his eye from the attack, testified that his face is “very important” and that it was vital that his “Empire” character looked like black Cary Grant.

Q: Is your face important to you?
Smollett: Very important
Why?
"My character was a superstar, a pop star, a beloved GQ whatever. It was very important that I looked like black Cary Grant, not beat down."

While he is generally a decent looking fellow, I am sure everyone is surprised to hear this and it speaks of his narcissism and lack of judgment. #NOTCARYGRANT
