PEOPLE, Page 54Einstein = Manic Comedian2By Howard G. Chua-Eoan/Reported by Kathleen Brady
If you know how to brighten up a room, you might as well go all
the way," says Australia's latest cinematic export, Yahoo Serious.
Yes, that is his name. "It's on my American Express card and my
passport," he says in all Seriousness. "It makes people happy."
The comedian, born Greg Pead, will be seen by U.S. audiences this
summer in Young Einstein, a rock-historical-sci-fi-comic-romance
about the scientific genius (played by Yahoo) and his brainy French
fiancee Marie Curie. "Those turn-of-the-century kids outdid
anything from the '60s," says Serious, who captures the zaniness
in an explosive musical sequence where he turns fire-engine red and
his hair sticks out. Which really isn't too different from the
true-life, strawberry red corolla of his Einstein-like fluff. Says
he: "I do it myself at the start of the week, and then I go
surfing."
