During Sir Patrick Stewart’s recent press tour for Logan, few interviewers have been able to resist the elephant in the room – or should I say smug-looking poo in the room – his upcoming role as the poop emoji in The Emoji Movie.
Other actors playing small ideograms for presumably truck loads of cash in the film include James Corden (a hand emoji), Maya Rudolph (a smiley emoji) and Broad City’s Ilana Glazer (a codebreaker emoji).
“Determined to become ‘normal’ like the other emojis, Gene enlists the help of his handy best friend Hi-5 (James Corden) and the notorious code breaker emoji Jailbreak.
Stewart feigned upset at the reaction and very dryly detailed why he took the part.
