Good Morning, World


Happy Monday from, firstly, me, and secondly Paul Mescal's rippling muscles via the first official photos of him in the Gladiator sequel! My love to whomever's job it was to schedule the film's production who knew that they shoot Paul's shirtless scene right away so it can be among the first images released to sell the sucker. I have extremely mixed hopes for this movie -- I have liked exactly one Ridley Scott movie in the past 30 years and it's The Counselor, aka the one everybody else hated. And I especially hate the original Gladiator film. Ugh, crap. But I do love the cast that Ridley's assembled here so I guess we'll see. Anyway these photos come from Vanity Fair -- they've got a whole thing (I guess the word I am looking for there is "article" -- it's Monday morning, leave me be!) which I haven't read yet so let's go do that together. After we hit the jump and look at the photos anyway...

UNF!
I find Pascal very attractive. I used to dabble in rough trade and he brings back the memories. I don't know about this Gladiator sequel, but I do like those sand and sandals sagas...

XOXO

When I saw that Mescal was going to be in Gladiator II, I worried that they would have him bulk up with too much muscle. But it looks as if they didn't go overboard with the training and he pretty much looks as if he's just a bit more toned. Not all steroided up as I at first feared.
