SUPERLAD Poised to become comedy's next boy wonder

That aqua-bubble stunt of Blaine's was intense.
Oh yeah, after six minutes underwater, he made the worst face I have ever seen. But honestly, that guy could make just about any face and still be attractive.

I take it you're interested in magic?
I have a few trick decks. It's a good way to get in with girls. But you have to tell them the secret, or you're just shooting yourself in the foot.

Speaking of secrets, tell us a few.
I'm a Gemini—the celestial twins. Also, I play the keyboard. Maybe people don't know that. I have a laptop and a pet rabbit named Lenin. And I still live with my parents. In Canada.

What about the possible Arrested Development 
movie we've been hearing about?
There have been talks, but I don't want to get my hopes up just yet. It would be too incredible.

What's a night out in Los Angeles like for you? We never hear about Cera dancing on tables at Teddy's.
We go to the Gardens of Taxco, which is a candlelit five-course Mexican restaurant. Then we go to Hamburger Mary's to play transvestite bingo. People there get really rowdy. You could win a gift basket full of cruise tickets! I'm more of a bingo person than a clubbing person.

It must be strange, starring in a high school flick when you were actually homeschooled.
I went to high school for the first year, for ninth grade, but then after that finished on the Web.

Sounds a little shady.
I mean, I didn't graduate or get to throw the hat up. But I went for a year to real school, so I got the gist of it. It wasn't a great time for me. Let's just say I wasn't king of the school. I used to blink a lot, so that was kind of a problem, like my eyes were really irritated for an entire year. But I might have been homecoming king on the Web ...

What did you think when you found out that your character on Arrested would fall in love with his cousin?
I was actually really excited that I would get to have something strange to play off. That was awesome to me.

What are you obsessed with lately?
The Pentagon's gay bomb—have you heard about that? You throw it at troops and it makes them gay.

You could just drop one on the Scientology Center.
[Laughs.] I think the idea is they release a heavy aphrodisiac, and it makes everyone go nuts. I'd definitely start a war just to use it. And win.
