FIRST LOOK AT CILLIAN MURPHY AS BASHAR AL ASSAD IN NEW DOCUMENTARY

What it means

A staged-looking image shows Cillian Murphy in costume and makeup, with a circular inset of Bashar al-Assad behind him. The joke presents Murphy’s resemblance to Assad as a supposedly serious first look at him playing the Syrian president in a new documentary, parodying entertainment-news headlines and casting announcements.
