random man's upper body without clothing. Blatant objectification of human body ahead.

girlwithjournal expressed some doubt of the idea that Adrien Brody could play the part of Spike Spiegel of Cowboy Bebop, on account of Mr. Brody being "too delicate."

This is what I say to that:



Mmmmmmm. I had to cap those from a rather poor quality Quicktime trailer for the movie Affair of the Necklace, where there is much sexyness in late-18th-century period clothing, since I don't own the movie. Then again, I haven't installed my DVD-rom yet so it's not like I could make good caps even if I did own the movie, but here ya go.

These pics aren't as good as the bathtub scene, though, where he stands up all wet, and you wonder how someone with that nice pecs has the most narrowly toned waist you've ever seen on a guy. It's a fascinating combination.

Why should he be Spike Spiegel? Because he's tall, lanky, has a face that actually kinda looks like the character's (rare with anime), has the right skin/hair coloring for it, and he's a great actor with an statue to prove it.

More pressingly, isn't he know dating Keira Knightly?

Really? Good for her. Good for him.

How old is Knightly anyway? She was supposed to be 18 in PotC but I thoguht she looked about 23. Adrien Brody was born in 1973or 1974 or something, which makes him about 30 which would be just fine for playing Spike, who is 27.

Oh yes! Good for them!
(what you can hardly expect enhtusiams. My poor celebrity crushes are all I have nowadyas!).

I believe she is about 19-20, but different sources give her age differently.
