NEWS: Marilyn Manson Removes Make-Up

Marilyn Manson has paid tribute to the lead character Kenny Powers, from his favorite TV show; Eastbound & Down by removing his heavy make-up. A photograph of the singer, which has been published in Interview magazine, depicts the goth rocker as the HBO comedy series' washed-up baseball star. 

"He's fucking obsessed with the show," said series co-director David Gordon Green. "He goes so far as to dress up like Kenny."

"Whenever I see Manson, he's repeating entire chunks of dialogue and dressed like Kenny," added director Adam Bhala Lough. "He just walks around dressed like this and fucks with people on the street. If a waiter or valet tells him, 'Have a nice day', he'll respond, 'Don't tell me what to do.' Stuff like that."

Manson is in the process of filming, Splatter Sisters, with the pair - the film is due out next year and also stars Evan Rachel Wood.

"[Manson's] character is named Lars, the leader of a death metal band," Lough added. "He places two beautiful, young drifter girls under mind control to commit heinous acts of murder across the West Coast."
