Matthew Goode may be straight, but that doesn't mean he can't admire another chap's good looks. Out's Stylelist recently chopped up the dashing British actor about his forthcoming role as Charles Ryder in the screen adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's gayish classic, Brideshead Revisisted.
Not only did Goode tell them he longed for the role, but there's no question about why co-star Ben Wishaw's playing the more sissified Sebastian:
I wasn't pretty enough. They gave it to Ben because when the camera settles on him you gasp at his beauty. I mean I have a girlfriend and all, but still...One can't help but feel bad for the theater staff - all that drool's going to be a bitch to clean up.
Goode went on to say that he "can't complain about filling [Jeremy] Irons' shoes". Irons, you may recall, played Ryder in the 1981 television version opposite Anthony Andrews.
My Goodeness! [Stylelist]
Interesting thing is, Anthony Andrews wasn't even remotely pretty. Perhaps looks aren't everything...
Tastes differ, but you have to be blind to think Anthony Andrews wasn't beautiful. Add the wardrobe, the lighting, and the photography and this movie has big shoes to fill. The 1981 series is one of the best ever made, from the cast to the production values. I'm wondering who will play Julia, and whether they'll use Castle Howard again, or another stately home.
i don't find this guy so overwhelmingly attractive that any str8 guy would jump his bones. isn't " i mean i have a girlfriend and all" just the usual (despicable) actor-speak for "i'm really a great big fag, but it's a secret" ?
