The handsome 38-year-old actor made a statement as he attended the opening night ofDiary of a Teenage Girl in San Francisco wearing a feathered wig, a full face of makeup, long golden gown, heels, hoop earrings and carrying a tiny metallic clutch bag.

It stars British actress Powley as 15-year-old Millie who writes about her affair with her mother’s (Kristen Wiig) 35-year-old boyfriend Monroe (Skarsgard).
