‘Billy on the Street’: Julianne Moore Freaks Out Times Square Tourists

Times Square becomes the stage for an acting masterclass on this week’s episode of Billy on the Street, as host Billy Eichner literally elbows aside pretenders dressed up as Spider-Man and Mickey Mouse for a genuine star: Julianne Moore. For a mere one-dollar donation, the Oscar-winning star of Still Alice acts her heart out for random Times Square visitors, recreating dramatic (and profanity-laden) speeches from such signature films as The Kids Are All Right, The Big Lebowski and Magnolia. She also cries on cue, which basically proves she deserves her Best Actress statue and a couple dozen more besides.

Even better than Moore’s mini-performances are the reactions of the bypassers around her. Just check out the one woman gawking in the background while the actress blazes through her Magnolia monologue, or the tourist who awkwardly tries to give Moore a hug while tears are streaming down her face. And after all that drama, the game ends with hugs and smiles as a gaggle of fans enthusiastically embrace Moore, pushing a certain wall-crawler into the background. Sorry Spidey…maybe you should memorize a few lines from The Hours for the next time that Julianne Moore decides to steal the spotlight.
