Ronald Reagan Redux

James Brolin as Ronald Reagan; Photo - The SunThe Sun ran this photo of Mr. Barbra Streisand, James Brolin, looking spookily like our 40th President, Ronald Reagan. Brolin is playing the Gipper in an upcoming CBS TV movie about the Reagans. Brilliant Australian actress Judy Davis is playing Nance.

The online museum store at the Ronald Reagan Foundation & Library is scary. On the description for the "REAGAN KIDS SWEATSHIRT," it begins "For the trickle-down economist, pseudo Reagan rug-rat in your house"...

Aside from the haircut, I think Brolin looks more like John Hinkley Jr than he does Ronald Reagan.

Maybe if he had a jar of Jelly Bellies in his hand...

uh what about this description for a kid's t-shirt:PILOT IN TRAINING T-SHIRT
"Bombs away! For future pilots whose feet are firmly planted in mid-air."

Man, that is the scariest picture I've seen on Gothamist. I thought I was having an acid flashback to the early '80s.

That looks like a Ronald Reagan from the 1950's---a guy in his 40's.

No way is that President Reagan, unless in an alternate universe.

Hey, I saw them shooting this on Sherbrooke st in Montreal... the guy who was playing George HW Bush was pretty convincing looking.

"Hey, wow, you look like GHW Bush!"

"Uh, yeah... *look like*.."

Lukas ;)

How dare you rewite the history of ANY president?
