Dressed in the Dark?

Around 15 years ago, the world cheered as Cuba Gooding Jr took to the Oscar stage to accept a gong for his incredible Best Supporting Actor role in Jerry Maguire. Now look at him...

These days, Cuba stars as the voice of Loofah in The Land Before Time XIII: The Wisdom of Friends and has actually dropped below straight-to-DVD movies to 'starring' in made-for-TV movies. It's been a sharp decline for the actor but as much as we'd love to fight his corner, he makes things difficult.

Take, for example, his choice of outfit for the T-Mobile Presents Google Music at TAO event in Utah last month. Unsurprisingly, GQ.com rated the Jerry Maguire actor as the worst-dressed male for the month of January and you can hardly blame them.

Though double denim enjoyed a brief revival two years ago, it was never meant to be abused as Cuba did below:

Help me, help you... buy a new outfit

With Cuba's latest film, a George Lucas-produced WW2 film called Red Tails, becoming a surprising moderate hit at the US box office, there's every chance that the public at large will take Cuba into their hearts once more. All he needs is a stylist... and maybe a new agent.

Either way, an intervention of sorts is certainly needed. Though Cuba's Rod Tidwell character famously asked Tom Cruise's Jerry Maguire "Help me, help you". it's the other way around these days.

Help GQ.com's writer and JOE help you Cuba, and we can put those dinosaur voice acting work and double denim days behind you. We'll even let you breakdance to your heart's content afterwards.
