The former Oscar host donned faux dark brown locks, featuring soft, beachy waves, for the role of Tommy Wiseau — a director, actor, and producer from the 2000s who now has a cult following because of The Room, a 2003 film that some critics called the worst movie ever made.

Seth Rogen and Franco’s little brother Dave Franco also star in the film. James’ baby bro’s persona also involves major hair and makeup, as he plays the role of Greg Sestero — a blonde, bearded actor — in the flick.
