In a GQ interview, actor Richard E. Grant says about his outift: "Julian Day, the costume designer, and Richard Shepard, the writer/director, were very specific on wanting these tinted Hunter S. Thompson-style glasses. Once those were on my face - and I have a very long head - they said, "Don't cut your hair", it's a mullet hairdo from the Seventies."
