Given how literate and worldly my readership is I'm sure all of you knew that Josh O'Connor is about to do a staging of Clifford Odets' boxer drama Golden Boy in London this fall. That said -- knowing it and actually seeing it in the flesh are two different experiences, as casting an eye upon that photo of Josh makes clear. Lord send me a sugar daddy who can jet me off to front row! This play was of course turned into a terrific movie in 1939 that starred William Holden and Barbara Stanwyck, and it made Holden a star ... and so naturally we must ask the question...
Josh is adorable but until he drank his looks away William Holden was one of the most beautiful humans ever.
ReplyDeleteI did know about this because I get the promo tiktoks about the play (even though I live a couple of oceans away from that theater)
ReplyDeleteBoxing is a disgusting 'sport' and should not be glorified. Neither get my vote and this is one Josh film I have no desire to see.
ReplyDeleteDropping in to brag that I'm seeing this in London next month
