Dennis Quaid on Fat-Assing Himself Up to Play Bill Clinton

Here's a very quick preview of Dennis Quaid as President Bill Clinton, Hope Davis as First Lady Hillary Clinton and Michael Sheen reprising his role as Prime Minister in HBO's upcoming film The Special Relationship…

Hmmmmm… I wonder how Quaid manage to capture Clinton's massive, um… essence?

“I could have worn a suit to enhance my weight, but I didn't want to go that route,” the 56-year-old actor says. “I did it the way he did: I went to McDonald’s every day.”

I hear that's the exact same way Clinton did it. Wait, oh. Damn it. Lemme give that another try.

Dennis Quaid seems pretty convincing as the former President from the neck up. Though, I think the real stroke of genius was getting his brother Randy to play Clinton's gut. (Home and run.)
