Wasn’t the husband to be a fatty? I thought he was so fat that the bullets didn’t penetrate his vital organs…
Yeah, fat and quite a bit older than Jane so you were supposed to wonder why she married him.
Oh Hollywood, they go and cast a young good-looking guy instead.
Try reading the article. Edgerton is in talks to play Bishop, leader of the gang that is trying to kill the husband.
Joel is well on his way to becoming a hughe movie star.
Joel is a true gentleman by nature. He’s such a great bloke!
Exactly. Worked with Joel and he’s one of the best actors, and best guys, you’ll ever meet.
Joel is playing Bishop, not the husband. It pays to actually read the article.
He’s now in the works to play the hubby. He’s so beautiful and loride those eyes of his are so captivating. He’s so amazingly sweet in person and said Hi to me while I was there in the building for getting fitted for my wardrobe for this film. I have to say he’s gorgeous shaved but I absolutely love his scruffy look!
