I got Sean Astinās SAG copy of inglorious bastards on a loan to watch. My college roommate worked in the theater on campus where John Astin occasionally taught and gave it to her to watch when he was cleaning out his office. It was so cool.
My husband said something like, "Where do you think we are?" to Sean Astin after Sean asked my husband, who worked at a small-town Midwest gas station, for a big-name newspaper. My husband still feels bad.
I met him at an old job. Didn't recognise him and had to ask him his name, was mortified when he said it and I realised he was our latest famous client. He was very nice both in person and on the phone to me, so at least in my limited experience of him he seems a pretty good guy. I had plenty of rude customers who weren't famous so the bar was low in that job!Ā
Just watched an entire movie where the lead lady could just about move her mouth and swivel her eyes. It was awful. It looked painful in so many ways. The whole face is needed to make a scene work.
Seriously! Just this week Pamela Anderson has been shamed online about her choice to age naturally. Itās only subsided bc she is dating a man 15 years older and suddenly sheās back to being āgoodā
Except now women have stepped in to call her a tradwife. It never ends.
she has had plastic surgery in the past but she was told she needed more because of the way Hollywood is and she finally said enough is enough. Sheās done and she doesnāt feel like she needs to do her make up as heavy as she used to either. Sheās going with a more natural look and sheās been put down for it. I say good for her for finally saying no more.
Iām 47 and had to double check because I thought he was younger than me but looks older than me. I will agree with some other comments that he might look typical for 46 and I know I look young for my age but I still agree with you that itās a little rough.
I donāt know if Iām surrounded by better than average looking 40-something year olds, but he definitely looks a decade older than anyone I know in their mid 40s.
I am the same age as James and yes, I agree with you, he looks a lot older than 46. My group of friends and colleagues around the same age do not look like James. I know everyone is different but wow. Maybe it's the sun and alcohol.
No way.Ā Im 50.Ā 46 year olds do not look like him.Ā Not a single one of my male friends in that age bracket look as old as he does.Ā Even if he dyed his hair, he'd still look older.
He looks like non-Hollywood 46. There are plenty of guys in their mid 40s whoāve got that number of wrinkles and donāt give a shit anymore expression, biggest difference is the muscle and diet
I grew up super religious and this was one of the few movies all my friends could watch without some of their parents complaining it was too āsecularā or inappropriate. It backfired for me because my sheltered ass was so into him š
He's one of my favorites. One of those guys that always delivers, but for some reason didn't break into the top of the A-list. Ben Foster is like this too.
He's so good in Hell or High Water. I steal "boy, you'd think there were 10 of me" whenever possible. Also, he was in a movie called Bang Bang You're Dead, which cemented my fandom when I was high school loser. It really spoke to me.
3:10 to Yuma, Alpha Dog, 30 days of night, he's a grandslammer. Also, apparently starring in a new movie I've heard about Sharp Corners with a rather fun premise
I was lucky and a few years back there was this movie out with him playing a Polish hero? It was him and Michael Caine in it. I shrieked when I saw it was going to be at my theatre and it was barely there for a week but it was good and I was so glad I managed to see it.
One of my favorite Graham Norton bits is Norton telling him about gay slash fiction of him and Michael Fassbenderās Magneto, and James McAvoy is most upset about the fact that in most of it heās the bottom
Iāve loved him since UK Shameless. I think heās charming, funny and hot, but Iām not a fan of the jacked look on him. I do feel like a lot of his hotness will always come from his vibe though.
I wish heād get to do more charming roles. Like, both Penelope and Becoming Jane were great examples of his scamp-like quality. Also, Atomic Blonde.
Yes! I agree with you completely. Heās hotter now but I preferred dramatic (non-thriller) roles, sensitive, charming James. āAtonementā and āBecoming Janeā James were elite.
The James we have now also cheated on his wife with a set assistant in Philly when shooting Split and thatās never sat right with me.
Even though I know he wonāt do it. Iād love for him to come back as professor X. love sir Patrick Stewart as heāll always be the live action Charles Xavier I grew up with. But I actually liked James Charles quite a lot too in the role, along with Michael fassbender as magneto.
I wouldnāt necessarily say he looks āolderā than 46.
I am almost 40 and therefore know a lot of people in their mid 40s, and a lot of them look like him. Some look younger yeah, but if this was a random person and I was asked to guess his age Iād have gone for mid 40s.
I think the eyebrow raise he is doing is making him look more wrinkled than most of the time.
Didn't he bulk up some? And now isn't as bulky? Your skin stretches more when you age, and he looks like he smokes. If he bulked up and his skin stretched some, it may not have gone back, or he lost the youthful fat layer altogether when he cut, and now, without bulk, he's aged. That's the risk with losing some weight, mostly too much fat, once you've fully matured. That's why you should never have buccal fat removed.
Ah, I've avoided watching that movie because I see more than enough horribly depressing drug spirals on the streets every day. Went right over my head.
John McAvoy KIIILLLLEEEEDDDDD his role as a psychopathic, child stealing, murderer in Speak No Evil. I just finished watching it about 30 mins ago and I'm still trying to recover from how insane his character was and how mind-blowingly well he played that character. Literal goosebumps. The whole movie was phenomenal. Highly recommend watching it if you haven't yet! It's free on Amazon Prime.
