Herewith La Barbie

Oh, Hollywood....

You get kudos for stubbornness, I’ll give ya that.

Currently embroiled in a sociopolitical and PR race nightmare, Hollywood has decided that Charlie Hunnam can pass for Mexican.

See, evidently, the (blond, blue-eyed) Brit – who is totally chasing It status in the wake of the lukewarmly received Crimson Peak and Pacific Rim and his solid seven-season performance on FX’s Sons of Anarchy – is set to portray Mexican-American drug lord Edgar Valdez Villarreal, a.k.a. La Barbie, on account of his fair complexion.

Because who else.

#SMH, alright.
