Word comes from The Hollywood Reporter that Don Johnson will put a mustache on to star as a facial-haired porn director in the upcoming comedy Born to be a Star for Sony Pictures and Happy Madison.

The film follows Nick Swardson, a small-town nerd, who learns his quiet and demure parents were once famous porn stars in the ‘70s. He then leaves northern Iowa for Hollywood to follow in their footsteps and become the next big porn star.

It is being directed by Tom Brady from a script co-written by Adam Sandler and Swardson himself.
