Links Thursday: Hollywoodland

Because I'm in LA, three interviews with three male actors: RPattz, the Zefron, and the man himself- George fucking Clooney. Two are from GQ and one's from Esquire, and yes, I really do read them for the articles.

The 9:10 to Crazyland
Esquire, March 2008

"George Clooney is also a brave man, and today he has agreed to spend a couple of hours exploring what the Internet has to say about George Clooney." Article written by the remarkable AJ Jacobs, who wrote the (highly reccomended) book The Year of Living Biblically and whose Esquire articles I always enjoy.

He's Hot. He's Sexy. He's Undead
GQ, April 2009

"He reads the gossip blogs and the Twilight fan fiction (“It’s surprisingly hard-core. And very well written”). He knows what the fake Robert Pattinson said on the fake Robert Pattinson Facebook page. (The fake Robert Pattinson claimed to have nailed Kristen Stewart. The fake Robert Pattinson was kind of like Chuck Bass, if Chuck Bass were uncouth enough to trumpet his conquests on somebody’s Wall.)" This is hilarious, but also kind of weirdly heartbreaking. I just want to hug the guy, if I didn't think it would traumatize him.

The Graduate
GQ, May 2009

"You get the feeling he knows he should be saying this, to the men’s magazine. That he knows a career built almost exclusively on the squealing ardor of preteen girls, on choreographed dance numbers set to expository pop tuneage so perkily inoffensive it makes early ’NSync sound like Howlin’ Wolf, is something a man has to live down before you can, y’know, call him a man." Zefron. <3

Both the GQ dates might be wrong, because apparently GQ does not believe in providing a date for its articles. I dated them off of when I'd posted them in my delicious account.
