Someone was enjoying the sun.
Aaron Sorkin joined stars Mikey Madison and Jeremy Allen White for a gala screening of his latest film, “The Social Reckoning,” in London on Tuesday – but all eyes were on the screenwriter’s incredibly tanned face.
The comments section of Sony Pictures UK’s Instagram post documenting the event quickly turned into a total roast, with people describing Sorkin’s extreme tan as “absurd”, “extra crispy” and even “a hate crime”.
“He didn’t need to go so hard at the beach,” one joked.
“Aaron Sorkin? More like Aaron Sore Skin from all the tanning, right?” another cracked, while a third replied: “Bro went to the tanning booth and gave it to George Hamilton.”
“I asked for my Sorkin medium rare,” joked a fourth, while someone playfully renamed the Oscar winner “Aaron Scorchin.”
Sorkin, 65, isn’t the first Hollywood star to take tanning too far; Jennifer Aniston, Chrissy Teigen and Brooklyn Decker have all shared their own spray tan fails on social media, while Blake Lively and Christina Aguilera’s past tanning mistakes have made headlines.
And after confusing fans with her crusty complexion at the 2018 Met Gala, Selena Gomez reflected on the viral beauty snafu in a Vogue 2021 video.
“(I) put a little bit of this tanning lotion on and it looked really nice and very even,” the star recalls. “As the evening progressed, it got darker and darker.”
At one point, Gomez looked at a photo of herself and realized she looked “completely orange.”
“I was like, ‘This is going to be terrible because I’m going to get eaten alive because of this,'” she said.
Luckily, Gomez had the last laugh, posting a video of herself fleeing the museum with the caption: “Me when I saw my MET photos.”
Here’s hoping Sorkin also manages to find some light in this dark situation.
