Do blondes have more fun? Michael Cera should now know.

How to Watch

Watch Late Night with Seth Meyers on NBC weeknights at 12:35/11:35c and next day on Peacock.  

On July 18, the Sausage Party: Foodtopia actor appeared on Late Night with Seth Meyers, and he debuted a new dye job that thoroughly confused Seth Meyers.

"My producer today said, 'Michael wants me to let you know he's blond," Meyers told Cera after he sat down for their conversation. "I didn't quite know what to expect, but I am glad he told me."

"Well, I kind of want to apologize for it a little bit," Cera admitted.

"You don't have to apologize," the Late Night Host told him.

"No, but the thing is, I mean, my hair is in a weird place right now. And I know this is going out on TV and everything, but that's all I wanted to say, really," Cera continued.  Well, the thing is, I can't cut it right now because then I'll have, like, frosted tips. Or I dye it back to my own color, and that just feels wrong."

"It is for a movie, we should stress," said Meyers.

"Yeah, I didn't just go crazy. I'm a working actor," Cera explained.

As it turns out, Michael Cera went blond for Wes Anderson's latest project, which the actor filmed in Berlin, Germany. When Meyers asked Cera how he liked Berlin, the Arrested Development alum said he wished he wanted to live there. That's because his wife, Nadine, is German and she would "live there in a heartbeat, and everything would be so easy."

"It's just too different from here," he added. "I don't know what's going on. I don't know how anything works."

"One day I was sitting in a café reading a book, and I heard over my shoulder the sound of like an 8-year-old girl crying," Cera continued. "So I turned to look what was going on, and actually it was a 50-year-old man laughing."

"How does your German wife enjoy Brooklyn?" Meyers asked Cera.

"We've been there for a long time now, but now that we're raising two little boys, she's kind of like, you know...the fentanyl containers, and the rats. We have rats coming into our home," Cera said, deeming that experience "a nightmare." 

"At some point, she's like, 'Is it that bad that a 50-year-old man laughs like a little girl who's crying?'" Meyers joked.
