Marc Jacobs recently let slip that

In Rambo He's certainly got the guns (of the muscled arms variety) for this role.

In Lord of the Rings You can't deny there's maybe a slight resemblance...

In Pretty in Pink C'mon Marc Jacobs as Duckie in Pretty in Pink would be the most amazing thing to happen in cinema since...well, ever. Plus, he could really help Molly Ringwald's character Andie Walsh with her prom dress.
