The current animated film _Epic_ includes a character, Dr. Bomba, a nerdy looking guy with protruding ears, glasses, a shock of tawny hair, and no chin.

Having badly dated myself, I will now crawl back into obscurity. (But I’m right!)

Looks like he may have gotten a nose job. Celebs these days, ruining perfectly good noses…
