The Dark Side Of Woody

We go to the movies and we see people on the screen who we can idolize as heroes or sentimentalize with as friends. But we often forget that the person on screen we adore so much is just a character in a story potrayed by a real person. A person with flaws like you and me. Sometimes even our dearest, most beloved idols have a dark side. This is one such story. A toy story.


We all know him and love him as Woody. The simple man with down to earth morals and values that make the natural leader of his toy peers.


That boyish charm and vulnerability that make him the affectionate object of every woman's, or girl's, heart.


But sadly, there's another side to Woody. Behind the camera he is simply Bob "Stick" Sonofabitz, actor. And truth be told, Bob Sonofabitz is not a very nice or likeable guy. As the following pictures show, celebrity star power and iconic status were too much for Stick to handle, and he quickly fell into a life of debauchery behind the scenes.


Although it started out innocent enough with pranks and crude jokes, it soon devolved into a more 'hardcore' lifestyle.


And of course, as with so many other Hollywood shooting stars, this life in the fast lane would lead to a tragic end.


Only time will tell if Bob Sonofabitz, who some say was simply a flawed man searching for his place in the world, will be remembered as the beloved Woody or the soiled and sordid Stick. Search your heart and decide for yourself.
