Patton Oswalt's Mime Mask — Unmasked!

On Friday, we reported that Patton Oswalt was spotted wandering around Philadelphia in full mime white face, and I suggested it was all part of a thought control conspiracy (who can really trust the government these days, huh? Am I right, folks?). Well, the man himself laid all those fears to rest on his blog yesterday:
Yes, that was me wandering around Geno's Cheesesteaks (8th and Passyunk) at dusk in Philly yesterday. I wasn't really wearing "mime" makeup, just a half-white, half-green painted face: (www.philebrity.com). I was flattered by the people who called out my name, and tried to shake my hand, but I really did have to stay in character — I hope you didn't think I was ignoring any of you. Me and the camera crew needed to shoot what we needed to shoot, and then pack up and scram before the cops showed up. Come to think of it, the cops DID show up, but they were more interested in getting cheesesteaks than hassling us, so I guess we lucked out. But we booked just the same.
That's all I can say about that. It'll all make sense…later(?)
Hm. All you can say? Could it have something to do with this, perhaps?
Let's face it, Patton. You're a movie star. And movie stars don't "stay in character" when their fans are calling. Seriously, now. When are you going to drop this responsible actor bullshit and embrace your inner Lohan?
(Thanks to Philebrity for the tasteful Oswalt up top).
