Good Weekend, Gratuitous Nassim Lyes


Have I got a gift for y'all before I take off for this week's three-day weekend! If y'all follow me on Twitter then y'all saw me bring up French-Algerian actor Nassim Lyes on July 1st, which (not coincidentally!) was the same night I watched a screener of the horror film Kandisha which whaddya know co-stars Nassim Lyes. 

Kandisha is from the directing duo Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury, who in 2007 gave us the hella disturbing pregnancy horror flick called Inside. And Kandisha is also out on Shudder right this very minute! My verdict, you ask? I say it should be checked out. It's not perfect but it has its moments, including some of the most insane and creative gore I've seen in awhile, as well as, oh right...

... Nassim Lyes. His role's not huge in it but he does have a scene set in a bathhouse where he wears only a towel and that makes it all worth it. Anyway I immediately gathered up a load of photos of Nassim after watching that film (a lot of them via his own Insta so obviously follow him there) -- dunno if you've seen him in anything yourselves (he's been acting for about a decade now) but if you did the best chance I'd wager would've been in the limited series The Spy, which starred Sacha Baron Cohen...

... and which, according to my research, involved a lot of extremely homoerotic tension between the two as they got naked and bathed together. While having mustaches! (You'll see much more of "my research" down below.) I guess I should watch The Spy then? It is on Netflix so it'd be easy. (Oh and he went by "Nassim Si Ahmed" in its credits; he appears to've changed his name in just the past year). 

Anyway, there. I gave y'all things to stare at and do over the next several days -- you can report back, or just go into a fugue state while staring at the nigh on thousands of photos of Nassim that I've got for you after the jump, which ever and whatever...

I'm very late to the party.... 2+ years. Just saw him on Season 2 of the Sarah Lancashire, David Hyde Pierce TV series Julia, where he was playing a James Beard boy toy who comes on to Julia's husband!!

Thanks for the compilation.
