As if he wasn’t talented enough already! Michael Cera, one of Hollywood’s youngest and most promising stars, has apparently got a real talent for playing poker.
Apparently Cera has been cleaning up while playing poker with his co-stars during downtime on the set of his newest film Scott Pilgrim Vs The World. While the reports are that he plays and cleans up like a shark, he remains quite humble about his poker prowess. "I wouldn't say I'm great," he told PEOPLE, but he did concede that his co-stars "didn't know what they were getting into … I play in a really good game in L.A. with really good players, people who are a few levels above me.” He also added, "I just try to walk away with my money from that game, and that's made me a better player."
Cera’s co-star Johnny Simmons added: "He's a damn good poker player, and he takes all your money” and “Michael and Keiran Culkin are shark-level. I lost so much per diem to those guys."
Michael is not always lucky when it comes to gambling though. They apparently also frequented the local casino during filming, where he says he lost any of the winnings he made in poker while playing at the casino.
With a series of cult classics already to his name, perhaps it’s Michael’s penchant for risk that got him so far in Hollywood at such a young age.
