AceShowbiz - Jack Black had a rather bold take on Taylor Swift's "Anti-Hero". At a SAG-AFTRA fundraising event on Wednesday, October 25, the "Gulliver's Travels" actor went NSFW as he took the stage at the Orpheum Theater to perform the pop star's hit.
In a video circulating online, Jack could be seen taking the stage following his stand-up comedy set at the "Give Back-ular Spectacular!", an event to show support for members of SAG-AFTRA during the Hollywood strike. At one point, the comedian took off his shirt and went around the stage in boxers and asked the audience to make song requests.
When an audience member yelled one song, Jack said, "I know that. Yes, I know that one. I can't do that one. We're in a strike." The "School of Rock" star later proceeded to perform one song that he knows of. "But I know that one. Everyone knows that f**king song," he added, referring to "Anti-Hero".
He sang, "It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me." He even did some kicks and poses in front of the audience. As the song went on, Jack's rendition took a guttural turn. He started singing gibberish as he couldn't remember the lyrics. Despite that, everyone cheered for him for the lighthearted moment.
Organized by Marta Kauffman, Paul McCrane and Paul Scheer, the "Give Back-ular Spectacular!" raised close to $500,000 emergency relief funds for both union and non-union crew members who are in need amid the ongoing strike. In addition to Jack, the performers included Rachel Bloom, LeVar Burton, Nicole Byer, Bryan Cranston, Lil Dicky, Lindsay Doughert and Simon Helberg. Janelle James, Michael McKean, Kumail Nanjiani, Patton Oswalt, June Diane Raphael, Andrea Savage, Dax Shepard and Julian Velard also took part at the event.
Meanwhile, it wasn't the first time for Jack to strip down while singing on stage. Last November, "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" star offered another hilarious performance where he rapped and danced to Cardi B's "WAP" in only red Speedos.
