Jamie's new photoshoot and interview

Oct 26, 2017 10:25

Here's a quote from Jamie's new interview. Guess who he is talking about? I hide the answer under the cut.

It ’s so difficult, because he feels like family. Losing him would be f**king catastrophic,’ says Jamie Bell solemnly, staring into the middle distance. ‘I wouldn’t know who I am or what my name is any more.’ The conversation has taken a dark turn as the 31-year-old contemplates a future without one of the most important people in his life:

Arsène Wenger.

Yes, that Arsène Wenger, the long-time Arsenal FC manager.

Check the full interview here, but really, there's nothing new here. I like this photoshoot much better than the previous ones he did back in August. Styling is the key. So far Jamie has not scored any major magazine's in-depth interviews, like GQ, Esquire or Vanity Fair. His profiles usually are seen on second-tier, fashion-heavy magazines. There's this lightness attached to these type of publication.





BTW, I watched HBO's Spielberg documentary. I've learned quite a few things about him. One story really strikes me is his relationship with his parents. I knew his parents divorced, but I didn't know it's his mother who cheated with his father's best friend because his father was a workaholic who was not home a lot. She just felt lonely. In this documentary, it showed there was some Oedipus complex going on with Steven. He assumed that it was his father who left his mother for a long time. When he saw his parents' big fight, then his father started to cry, he screamed "cry baby" to him. He also saw his mother crying while playing Schumann's music, and he just sat there holding her hand. Anyway, he sided with his mother. Also his three sisters hid the truth from him for many years. When his father attempted for reconciliation with him, he stayed away. According to Steven himself, it took him about 17 years to speak with his father again. In 1998, Steven thanked his father in Saving Private Ryan. And nowadays, Spielberg's parents actually got back together, so I guess happy ending in the end.

Another thing I learned is that Steven admitted that he shied away from a lesbian scene in The Color Purple. In the novel, a woman held a mirror to show another woman her vagina, this might be a challenge for a filmmaker like Spielberg.
