McCartney Times

Mike Myers was a hot Hollywood property back in the 1990s, thriving from his time on Saturday Night Live (SNL)in 1975 as he took to the comedy genre with frantic enthusiasm. Whilst he was well known for his stand-up routines, Myers also saw success in the 1992 movie Wayne’s World, a movie based on a sketch from SNL about two music lovers who start a public-access cable show.

Five years later, however, it was the Austin Powers series that would establish him as a chameleon comedian with many faces. With thick-rimmed black glasses, white frilly lace cravat and noticeably poor oral hygiene, Mike Myers’ titular Bond piss-take, Austin Powers, heightened the 007 character and exposed his foibles 35 years in the making. Released in 1997, Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery was a monumental success, with Myers’ take on Britain’s most famous spy being a welcome relief from his decades of monotonous tomfoolery.
