Scott Disick channels Christian Bale’s character Patrick Bateman from the film American Psycho to promote Kanye West’s new album Yeezus, in stores today.
The short film also stars the 36-year-old rapper’s girlfriend Kim Kardashian‘s best friend Jonathan Cheben who sits portraying Jared Leto’s character, Paul Allen.
In the two minute clip, posted on KanyeWest.com, the two reality stars re-enact/re-interpret the infamous Huey Lewis and the News scene from the controversial 2000 thriller.
Disick asks, “Hey, do you like Kanye West? The early work was a little too hip-hop for me and my taste, but when ‘Dark Twisted Fantasy’ came out in 2010, I think he really came into his own both musically and lyrically.” When Cheben seems less than interested, Disick takes an axe to his head. “Try getting the Yeezus album now, motherfuker!” he yells while murdering him.
The re-created scene is a pretty spot-on re-enactment of the scene, with one small tweak. On the floor of the spotless apartment lie pages of Billboard magazine, rather than the film’s newspaper “style section.”
