You might not know the name Jackson Blankenship, but chances are you already know who he is. The giant face cutout that became an Internet meme last week? That's Jackson. Well, it's his friend, Charles ... look, it's complicated.
So has sudden Internet stardom given the Alabama fan, um, a big head? (SORRY) Find out in this terrific and important video interview.
It's worth watching this video just for Blakenship's facial exercises. But if you're without sound or short on time, here are the important things we learned from this video:
• The Face's name is Charles.
• Blankenship found him while dumpster diving. (*wink*
• Charles likes France a lot.
• "Have you gotten big headed?" "No, not really."
• Contrary to popular belief, Charles is *not* the ultimate wing man.
• The most inappropriate place for Charles: the girl's bathroom.
• It distracts players because of good looks.
Like I said, important stuff.
For the latest info on Charles's whereabouts -- and random sports commentary -- follow Justin (@jack_____enship) and @JordyAppel, who conducted the interview, on Twitter.
Also, look out for Blankenship's appearance Tuesday on the Today Show. Great work, distraction.
