James Spader

[...]

He had throat cancer and eventually had a tracheotomy. That's why he wears scarves and stuff all the time.

Yeah Craner you fucking bastard.

 

[version]

Truly an awful man.

That picture when he was on the beach all bloated and the papers called him The Kilmer Whale.

 

[IdleRich]

He was another one who was actually really beautiful when he played the eye candy in that silly film by the Airplane guys. In the "Are comedies always about losers" thread I said that there is a kind of winner that can work in a film (maybe not over the course of a whole series) when the character if funny by virtue of being impossibly handsome, cool, witty, talented etc and always comes out on top with amazing style. And I suggested Carey Elwes' character in The Princess Bride as an example, but Kilmer's character in that film... is it Top Secret? That might be another.

Nice lils.

My mum always used to go on about Val Kilmer's "beautiful lips" in Batman Forever.

 

[luka]

He's got one of those sadist faces like dissensus favourite Steven Seagall

My mum always used to go on about Val Kilmer's "beautiful lips" in Batman Forever.

I wondered about Keith Urban as Judge Dredd - did they audition loads of people looking only at their chin?

 

[version]

Karl Urban. Keith Urban's that weird singer who cried watching Kelly Clarkson.

 

[IdleRich]

Ah. I don't know who that is but I must have done subconsciously I suppose.

 

[IdleRich]

Is Karl Urban his real name? It's up there with Jack Law as one of the most macho names I've heard.

 

[version]

Apparently his full name is Karl-Heinz Urban.

 

[...]

This is actually the style I aspired to in my late 20s.

 

[version]

What style do you aspire to these days?

 

[...]

Rugged man of the coast. Chunky sweaters, rolled up denim jeans and bare feet.

 

[version]

 

[...]

That is not rugged! That’s metrosexual long weekend vacation in Salcombe!

 

[hmg]

Will you be Spader or Clooney? Is it fate, or can you do something about it?

Course you can. Follow my 5 step plan, link in bio

Such a great interview. He's so on point. So true. Never heard anyone else talk about sexuality so accurately. Its funny too. James can appear so sexual yet so non sexual at the same time.

He’s just got it

 

[padraig (u.s.)]

Or it's almost the opposite, he is classically good looking but that's different from the paradigm that has been the dominant one in Hollywood for decades.

I wasn't being figurative referring to Botticelli, young Spader literally looks like a Botticelli portrait

full lips, angelic features, feathered hair
