It’s pretty damn satisfying to see this guy
on the cover of GQ,
isn’t it? Here, at long last, is a man rather than a boy. (It’s
been a while.) So yes, he’s a lot better looking than you are,
and yes, every woman you know wants to bed him, but you don’t
begrudge him these things, because (a) he’s not pretty
and (b) he’s not callow. Simple as that. It’s a
vintage kind of maleness, Clive Owen’s, akin to McQueen’s
and Eastwood’s and Newman’s. Never showy or needy. Sure
of itself without being cocky. Totally in control of what it will and
won’t give. The kind of maleness guys hope to see not only
in their friends but also in their fathers.
