Spike Jonze is a Jack of all trades, but he's still best known for his mind-blowing and fantastical romance movies. Since his 1999 directorial debut, Being John Malkovich, Jonze was instantly known as the enfant terrible of Hollywood due to the film's surreal narrative and unique comedy. This perception of him was supported by his history of directing music videos for Beastie Boys, cocreating the Jackass series — even playing Gloria in several of the movies — and then becoming the creative director of Vice Media, an alternative news and politics media outlet.
