Stanley Tucci in a Henley
That’s it. That’s the story.
Listen, there is a fact we don’t discuss often enough.
Men can be gorgeous, unabashedly sexy creatures that make our panties wet just by looking at us ladies.
Perhaps you’ll understand this better if I talk to you about Stanley Tucci. To be more precise, Stanley Tucci in a Henley.
Ah! I have your attention now, don’t I?
A Man and His Feelings
You see, it’s not just that he is, you know, Stanley Tucci, with his interesting voice and the way he improves even the crappiest of movies or how he, Tucci, knows how to move his tushy — I confess I didn’t even hesitate to type those words. I’m guessing you watched him in Shall We Dance? And, if you didn’t, what are you waiting for?
Also, he is not afraid to talk about what moves his heart and the regrets that sometimes cross his mind. He gives us hope about how men can be in touch with his feelings.
But there is more. So much more.
It’s the way he carries himself. It’s that special manner in which he looks into his leading lady eyes and makes it clear he is there to support her, and hug her, and love her, and be there no matter what.
And he will do all of that while wearing different sorts of clothes, including, of course, a Henley.
A Character Actor
They call him a character actor. He is, I suppose. But he almost always steals the movie. I confess that whenever Easy A is on TV, even though Emma Stone is quite amusing, I sit through the whole thing mostly to catch a glimpse of him.
Oh, let’s not forget how he rocked those weird Caesar Flickerman costumes on The Hunger Games…he made us think this was his silly self. Or how he got us to hate him in The Lovely Bones; he was so terrifying in that one.
Yes, I could go on and on about him. However, no matter what I say, I always go back to his deep dark eyes. And that stubble that would feel deliciously rough on my chin.
So, in this day and age, when everything feels gloomy, let us all pause a moment to think of Mr. Tucci…and that Henley. Oh, yes, that Henley.
