Get a little respite from your work

Well, your additions to the let’s-show-them-what-a-charismatic-man-really-is list are pouring in thick and fast. I even found two here that I didn’t know about – Alessandro Gassman and Alessandro Preziosi. I’m not really into that Italian scene because they all speak Italian and lots of them look like they use handcream and floss their teeth. But I have to admit that I was missing something there.

So here they are – tada! – Jose Mourinho, Martin Shaw (now better known as Judge John Deed) in his 1970s incarnation as Doyle in Bodie & Doyle, Clive Owen, Sean Connery (amazing similarity to George Clooney there; the type must be hardwired into the female brain), Marlon Brando, Michael Douglas (before he began to look like an old woman – can’t say I ever found him attractive, but anyway, we’ll let that one pass), Ashton Kutcher, Alessandro Preziosi, Alessandro Gassman.

More, please – it makes a pleasant change from all those drab and dreary Maltese politicos, who are so boring that I have to dress them up as animals to make them more interesting.
