Here is an article Dan Radcliffe wrote about his life around the release of HP4. It was published in these 2 formats. He is probably the only person on the planet who could have written about "Being the World's Most Famous Teen" without a trace of irony. He turned 21 this past July, I believe, and he is looking forward to another run on Broadway in "How to Succeed..." next year.
Christian Bale has graciously agreed to let us post Dan Radcliffe/Harry Potter a day early. This layout is really fun to read. Tomorrow we'll touch on Dan's more serious side. And if you were enamored with the newsprinty pic of Mike Newell and company yesterday, here it is clearer and in color.
I thought this week the posts could include some outside journalism beyond the usual pictures. Hence, our theme is "....Plus something to read." The top item featuring Alan Rickman in Classic Snape Mode would be a great kick-off to the theme, except that the text is in....I don't recognize that language. Nevertheless, this is a great example of a page layout where the placement of the text enhances the photograph rather than obscures it. That's what I'm shooting for this week.
This is the principal male cast from LOST season 1, and the representative brits are Dominic Monahan [third from right] and Naveen Andrews [left of Dominic]. Even though Naveen Andrews played his character Sayid with a Middle Eastern accent that was quite believable, his real life speech is delivered in the most adorable South London twang I've ever heard.
Eddie Argos interpretation of this week's theme--Put Your Best Face on It--was 'Put It on Your Face.' I think he was unhappy with his record label at the time.
Henry Ian Cusick--a face so nice I thought you should see both sides of it.
Jason Isaacs looks perfectly content here, and so does his beautiful family. He sports the perfect look for a man on a relaxing vacay. I believe a resort offered him and his family a stay in exchange for keeping a journal about their favorite activities there. This picture was published with the resulting article.
I've never seen a bad picture of Dan Radcliffe--and I have seen a lot of pictures of him--so I really had to work to find just one in which Daniel quintessentially stuts his stuff. But if I have to choose, then this is the one. Here he is on the red carpet at the South Bank Awards [2006, I think].
You bet Armani asked Christian Bale to model handmade suits. Nobody rocks this look like Bruce Wayne.
This post is for Saturday.
There are plenty of photographs of Eddie Argos with whiskers, including his infamous pencil-thin moustache of years ago. But Eddie himself admits that every time he tries to grow a beard, it turns out "a bit shit." This picture illustrates one thing we know best about Eddie, paraphrasing his own words--God gave him all the facial hair he was meant to have above his eyes.
The choice for today's 'Brit-a-Day: Whiskers' post is so easy it hurts. Or at least is warm and wet. Vincent the dog greets unconscious Desmond [Ian Cusick] in one of the final episodes of LOST.
Jason Isaacs as Captain Hook. Wonderful set of whiskers, especially the 'stache. Hope it was all real.
Daniel Radcliffe sporting some lovely stubbly whiskers, or if you prefer, scruff. He's not your little girls' Harry Potter anymore.
I've used this image of Christian Bale from GQ in an earlier post, but it resurfaces today as a spot-on example of how lovely whiskers can be. I call dibs on the place where the beard intersects the 'stache on his right jawline.
The theme this week is....."whiskers."
Yay, I'm back home! One last look at the Manx Missile, Mark Cavendish. Welcome to the podium, Mr. C.
Awww...this is actually the first picture of Eddie to come up in his file after I skip over all the ones I've used before--and Eddie is the small one in the middle.
Quite ironic that this was the first picture to pop up in HIC's file. This was the scene [from LOST] that endeared me to the character of Desmond--endeared me, as in "oooo, this guy has issues, I think I can help him [soothe, pat, hug]".
Jason Isaacs...the first picture I came to in his file. I think we're going to need room service to bring more towels.
Magazine covers are little time capsules. In November 2005, all eyes were on Daniel Radcliffe as HP4 was set to open, and LOST was now taking the world by storm.
Randomly appearing as the first picture in his file, here's a twofer of Christian Bale.
The theme this week is...Random. In a nod to how my Sistahs-in-Ian define 'random,' I'm going to open each cast member's dossier [picture file] and take out the first thing that comes to hand.
