![]() As Magic Magic's funding dragged, Silva decided there and then to make a film about an experience he'd had years earlier. Silva sent him a script for a film called Magic Magic and Cera signed up, moving to Chile for a few months and living with Silva's family. ![]() Having loved Silva's 2009 drama The Maid, Cera sought out the director and they hit it off. In Sebastián Silva's new film (full title: Crystal Fairy & The Magical Cactus), Cera is Jamie, an American in Chile, a drug bore on a quest to find a San Pedro cactus and trip out on the mescaline contained within. In his next two films he is equally insufferable. In last year's apocalypse comedy This Is The End he presented a 180-degree subversion of his public image: playing himself, the real Michael Cera was apparently an obnoxious irritant who blew coke in people's faces. Today, that awkward dork is all but dead and buried. He's the guy who made his name in 2007 as a superdweeb in Superbad, hapless yet endlessly endearing, and subsequently mined similar territory in Juno and Scott Pilgrim Vs The World. Michael Cera's acting like a real jerk these days.
