Actor Rob McElhenney files to legally change his name

Well, this is certainly going to wipe everything else from the headlines.

This should be normalised, I know so many people who go by a completely different name around friends. You had no say in your given name anyway, so it shouldn't be sacred.

He's had an unbelievable amount of cosmetic procedures. I wouldn't be surprised if he had a full-on facelift. I wonder if he did all that that shit to his face because Ryan Reynolds told him to. They're good friends.

He looked so much better before he did anything to his face. He looked like a real person, and even a handsome one. Now he looks like a plastic Ken doll.

He’s a cutie, and the most “Philly” of the cast, but frankly, this ain’t news

Keep your goddamn surname as is.

What an asshole.

I watched a bunch of episodes of the 'Sunny' podcast and it nearly ruined the show for me. Glenn and Robb seem like really off-putting egomaniacs to me. Charlie Day seems like a very normal but shy and unconfident dude.

He’s too young to be messing with his face (not that I think anyone should). He’s still in his 40s.

Being friends with Ryan Reynolds is the definition of red flag

I watched two episodes of Sunnyast night. One from the first season. One from a much, much, much later season. Rob is almost unrecognizable. It was genuinely shocking, even though I knew about the work.

I don’t get this kind of thing. Right wing writer Heather MacDonald changed her name to Heather Mac Donald. It’s just silly.

You could tell something was wrong when he gained a ton of weight on the show for no reason and then became buff. Then his character became gay. Then he started with the facework.

Classic borderline personality disorder.

I have BPD and I’m always amazed at what the denizens of DL think classic borderline looks like.

Oh nevermind. He’s neurodivergent. NDVs also can have unstable sense of self and body dysmorphia.

He’s about to veer into Wayne Newton territory.

Is his wife accepting of this new ever-changing look.

Is his nose natural? I've always found his face off-putting, once I learned who he was (I've never seen that show), and now I think it's because of his too-small nose.

Is he decolonising himself?

At least his beautiful hair hasn't changed, unlike his name & face.

Rob Mac is what happens when a fast food restaurant is held up at gunpoint.

He may have trouble voting in the future.

And of course you would post your comment in exactly that way, wouldn't you, Miss, to prove your claim?

Done.

Does he think that will put some space between him and the buddy he ass-licks, Ryan Reynolds?

Or is he still loyal to RyRy and the little woman?

His wife certainly isn't.

Terribly important.

He looks like Patsy Stone in the AbFab botox episode.

Who’s life have you made miserable this week?

Dead wrong, r12. He gained weight as a joke. He noticed that most sitcom actors get more attractive as the show goes on and he thought it would be funny to gain 60 pounds and look like shit.

If you were a real fan of the show then you would know that. You would also know that Mac has had strong gay urges for pretty much the entire show, it's not something that happened suddenly. He's also been fairly buff since the beginning.

Have you even watched the fucking show? God, you're an idiot.

R12 these are literally payoffs for his storylines that are consistent from the beginning of the show

So if you’re a showrunner and you decide that your character is gay and your hinted at it for years before that, what does that mean. Eeidgually Eden your character has your own name.

Is that his 90s hip hop name?

As opposed to figuratively?

America, stop bastardizing this word.

Dear Rob,

Walton Goggins has stolen all of your future gigs.

Love,

Hollywood

His face still basically looks the same to me.

I don't know what you all are seeing, in terms of major plastic surgery.

He was a child actor.

R30 shut up

Rob McElhenney has a over-inflated view of his own importance. The business is the business--his name is not the business. And as his business expands, if that is what may happen, people will get beyond his name and get down to business. And it's not difficult to pronounce anyway. No need to change your surname, douchebag.

R34 Learn English. Fucking illiterate, mental midget.

R36 Literally has been used colloquially and casually for a long time. You’re not some genius, just a dried out cunt.

There’s actually nothing more embarrassing than someone like you. You’re the fucking moron. You’re such an autistic freak you can’t even conceive of how people talk normally. Fuck you. You think you’re some kind of teacher too. Pathetic.

R32 The most recent of those photos is almost 10 years old

Just because it’s “used” doesn’t make the usage correct. It’s a bastardization employed by Gen Z morons and the uneducated.

I bet you say “mid” and “sus” as well. Are you a MAGAT?

What an embarrassment.

It’s literally iconic!

R40 you’re a dumb cunt

Myopic retard. Blocked your dusty autistic ass!

Like the Tabasco sauce?

[quote] As our business and our storytelling is expanding into other regions of the world and other languages in which my name is even harder to pronounce,

His businesses are owning a Welsh football club and acting in an FX comedy. The Welsh aren't going to struggle pronouncing an Irish name. Plus they routinely spit out ones with far more consonants with no issue, and much as I love Sunny (well until about 2 seasons ago) I can't see it suddenly becoming Nigeria's biggest show. Especially after the Boko Haram sponsorship.

Maybe he’s going to change it to Rob Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch next.

I only watched that show occasionally in hopes that Glenn Howerton would take his shirt off.

Howerton has the curse of the tiny nips.

Just finishing AP Bio, and it's really funny.

R32 The DL always thinks everyone being discussed here has had tons and tons of plastic surgery and has Narcissistic Personality Disorder or at the very least Borderline Personality Disorder.

What, is he 15 years old? Rob "Mac"?

How embarrassing for him.
