If you look at I'm Not There and then switch over to Brideshead Revisited it's incredible to think they're played by the same actor in such a close amount of time. I'm ecstatic that you're preparing a Matthew Goode profile, though! I've recently started watching his films (and reading his interviews) and I think one thing so appealing about him is his charisma just in general. He can also disappear rather well - like in The Lookout. I'm beyond excited for Watchmen (for everything not just Veidt method). - edelweiss Fri, 24 Oct 2008 19:05:45 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/spotlights/stars/ben_whishaw/#comment-2686 I would rather be lame than promote some sugary mediocre stupid movie with actors who only know how to make beautiful eyes, ask paparrazi to take my best side and tell my trainer to help me get awesome abs!

I particularly like this part: [QUOTE]Anyone who's seen him on stage knows that Whishaw is a very physical actor. Dressed today in black T-shirt and jeans, he constantly runs his hands through his hair. To emphasise a point, he pulls his T-shirt wildly out of shape, hugging his thin body. He has exquisite manners, apologising as he tries to bolt his lunch and answer questions at the same time. But just occasionally you catch him looking at you with amused eyes. There's quite a lot going on behind that beautiful mask. It is his grit that stops Whishaw's beauty ever becoming boring. Matthew Goode, who is playing Charles Ryder opposite him in Brideshead, recently admitted he would have loved to play Sebastian, but added, "I wasn't pretty enough. They gave it to Ben because when the camera settles on him you just gasp at his beauty. I mean, I have a girlfriend and all, but still..." [/QUOTE] We're also preparing Matthew's profile soon, and in the meantime, I would love to get to read more of Ben! Here's the link to that article: [URL=http://www.independent.co.uk/arts/film/features/article2548533.ece]Independent Interview[/URL] - Admin Sat, 14 Jul 2007 19:19:14 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/spotlights/stars/ben_whishaw/#comment-78 Hi guys! Thanks for the additional info/links. Ben's profile page is one of the most popular we have at tMF. In fact, its currently the 2nd most read profile, after Gaspard Ulliel. I think we need more and more updates, as many people seem to admire this guy. I really am a big fan, and hopefully there will be a chance for us to do an interview, perhaps in the near future. I'm definitely add more info in the next few days, and in due time, we'll have to create separate sections of these awesome actors! Keep it going guys! Once this article reaches a certain no. of pages views, it would not be possible to just have it as an item but a section! Cheers!

How could a working-class, dark-haired actor play the embodiment of aristocratic blond privilege? Whishaw grew up in Hitchin, Bedfordshire. He didn\'t go to boarding school. His father works in IT, his mother sells cosmetics at John Lewis. By his own admission he knows very little about the aristocratic world. Primarily known as a theatre actor, he\'s as far from a foppish Hugh Grant type as you could be. But actually his casting in Brideshead makes perfect sense. No one plays damaged better than Whishaw. For those of us who watched the original TV series, Sebastian is bathed in a nostalgic light. We tend to remember the tea parties and picnics, the silk shirts and the teddy bear Aloysius. But if you go back to the original Evelyn Waugh novel, it\'s clear that Sebastian is a petulant, wayward alcoholic - however adorable. One senses that Whishaw will get the balance between light and dark exactly right. On stage he\'s carved out a brilliant reputation for playing doomed youths (Hamlet, Konstantin in The Seagull, a feral gang leader in Philip Ridley\'s apocalyptic Mercury Fur). And yet he can also be painfully, absurdly funny. No wonder some of the hottest directors are queuing up to work with him. [/QUOTE] He may not be aristocratic, but being the good actor that he is- I think he\'ll do just fine, add his own style and flavour to the role, so he\'ll do well, indeed. - Janell Edmunds Sat, 14 Jul 2007 03:18:59 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/spotlights/stars/ben_whishaw/#comment-65 There was a film made by Dom Rotheroe called My Brother Tom, and it\'s unforgettable, you need to add it in his profile, coz Ben did an amazing job in his role. The director made this statement of the film: [QUOTE]“MY BROTHER TOM is about obsessive love and the sacrifices it can lead to,” says director Dom Rotheroe. “When Ali Hilder, my co-writer, first told me the basic story I knew I had to turn it into a film. The savagery, tenderness and power of the love story wouldn\'t leave my head and Tom and Jessica were characters I knew I\'d want to be with for the next few years.” “I\'ve always been drawn to obsession and extremity and the tale of these two teenagers was stuffed with both. I wanted to explore their attempts to overcome their pain together, the tragedy and sacrifice of such bonding when one changes and the other can\'t, but also the cathartic redemption of intense passion.” “For me it was always a film in close-up. I didn\'t want to step back and observe so much, but to get involved and intimate which is why I opted to shoot it on handheld DV. This allowed us to physically enter the action more, to improvise more with camera and performance, and to give the actors more time to inhabit the role on camera by running scenes in their entirety.” “Above all, I\'ve been aiming to make a film that is raw and emotional, something like the documentaries I made on Hi-8 in places like Sarajevo - something that communicates ideas by putting the audience up close to the characters and not pulling punches. The fundamental thing in MY BROTHER TOM has been to make the central relationship as vital and involving as possible.” [/QUOTE] more here!
