After posting a a couple of photos of Samuel Costa as O Menino Maluquinho (The Nutty Boy) and one of Scotty Beckett overdosing on two pans. I though it might be interesting to post images from films, TV and popular culture of people wearing pots, pans and other kitchen utensils on their head. I mean why not, I do it and I'm sure that you do too, don't you? So I'll set the pot boiling with Samuel Costa (again) who played the pot wearing O Menino Maluquinho in two movies.

And I'll also repost the photo of Scotty Beckett wearing two pans simultaneously on his head in The Youngest Profession (1943).

I can't forget my childhood friend the Pan Head Boy from Fisher Price's Little People. Strangely my one has the handle on the opposite side.

Oh and armor made from pots, pans and colanders was used in several of the different versions of War Of The Buttons.

Jackie Cooper & Donald Haines get an honorable mention, as Jackie has some pans for armor but not on his head and Donald's birdcage does not count as a kitchen utensil. Nice try though boys.

Well, I don't have links, but both Ma Hunkel as The Red Tornado and Forbush-Man were spoof superheroes who wore pots for helmet-masks.

Well they're not really boys or girls, they're both adults and they're both cartoons, not real people. Nevertheless. And there's even a negative Forbush man too apparently.

And as for Johnny Appleseed wearing a saucepan on his head? From 10 facts about Johnny Appleseed that you probably didn't know. 5. He didn't really wear a tin pot on his head Most depictions of Johnny Appleseed depict him with a tin cooking pot on his head. In reality, Chapman favored a tin hat. (He did eat out his hat, though, which is where the legend probably originated.) As for the threadbare clothes and shoeless feet we see in popular culture? Those were real. But apparently pot wearing is becoming quite a trend, which has even caught on in Russia.

I don't know precisely what Andy Samuel was wearing on his head in Dogs Of War (1923) but it looks suspiciously like it came from someone's kitchen.

I watched Telling Whoppers (1926) yesterday evening and immediately spotted the small cooking pot with three small feet that Joe wore as a helmet.
