Wagner Moura doesn't look like a mafia boss

Pablo Escobar didn't look like a drug lord either. He looked like an overweight middle aged bum, but looks can be deceiving

Nicholson looks old enough to play Escobars grandpa.

So how are you to decided who looks like so and so? Does Putin looks like a president with his 5'5 higly botox face? Does Chapo Guzman look like cartel boss since he's about 5'4? Does Shaq look like a man with a PhD? Have you even seen pictures or real sicarios? They're mostly chubby little short guys, not the ones depicted in movies or the slick hair tall Rico Suave guys.

You crazy!

The real Pablo didn't look like a intimidating, vicious crime lord either. The actor looked more like a crime boss and the traits I made than the real one

Did you even check pictures of the real Pablo Escobar before making this sh!tpost?

Pablo Escobar wasn't a mafia boss.

Colombian drug trafficker.

Big difference actually. Mafia usually equates with Italians. Oddly enough, mafioso bosses have become such a mainstream part of society that they themselves look to films sometimes to decide how to present themselves to the public. John Gotti was very much aware of his public image and tried to present himself as suave and sophisticated.

In this way, the public's demand for a top mafioso to look a certain way actually determines how one looks.

I don't know what sort of social pressure Escobar had to look a certain way but whatever it was I think it had a lot less to do with the US public, Hollyood or Italy or how mafiosos look on US television shows than his own culture.

He wore shorts a lot. I can imagine this is more to do with Colombia's climate than living up to an image so a US viewer will understand what he is by studying his attire and expressions.

Wagner Moura is one of the best actors out there right now. Check him out in Tropa De Elite. He's awesome!
