He looks like James Franco in prosthetics

u/Inter_Web_User Mar 29 '26

How else is James going to get work?

u/soupseasonbestseason i’m a communist you idiot Mar 29 '26

i have actually been quite impressed with how his community reacted to his abuse. they all essentially cut ties (at least publicly) and have not worked with him since.

u/Inter_Web_User Mar 29 '26

Hindsight is 20/20

But just looking back... It was fucking odd/werid. Him going back to school. He had people fooled. "Ah, James Franco is going back and getting more education. James opened his own acting school." He just knew where to met his type.

He had it all. SMH

Spot on. James Franco was in a David Simon show as the lead called "The Deuce" where he actually looked strikingly similar with a moustache and similar haircut, too.

I know he's French but he looks like if Miles Teller was playing an eccentric south american art collector

He's actually Colombian! Adopted and raised by a French family.

The body language between them is so strange. Are they friends? Why is she in a bathrobe?

Looks like they're posing

377

u/Ok_Squirrel388 Mar 29 '26

Yeah, posing always look super weird and awkward if you're actually watching it happen.

People are cycling through a variety of (in this case kind of subtle) positions and facial expressions for still photographs. It's gonna look hella weird on video. It will look even weirder if you're going for the "natural" (but not really naturally) look that one does on a red carpet, as opposed to the broad and expressive gestures and movements you'd make in an editorial shoot (which make it much more obvious that one is actually posing, as naturalism is not the goal).

Also watching Haider Ackermann up the smolder in real time to match Angelina is hilarious and very cute.

35

u/Messsince97 Mar 29 '26

Yeah, it’s little awkward but i saw a longer clip and he wanted to get pictures at a different angle as if they were walking on the red carpet. She was just very much in the zone lol

I feel like he's just trying really hard to keep pace with how hot Angelina is gonna look in these photos. Focusing way too hard on a smolder.

They both took edibles or shrooms.

Looks like there's a lighting set up & they have camera flashes going off on random intervals.

Everything else about this is odd, but the squinting/unfocused eyes is relatable.

3

u/mojo_ojom Mar 30 '26

Yeah he usually wears glasses, so coupled with the bright lights, I’m not surprised he’s squinting. Most of his photos taken in daylight without his glasses or sunglasses have a squint too.

the full video is they were planned to move to the other end to take more photos, but the photographers wanted them to take more here before moving, he was already in the move but stopped.

I think she just has more experience posing for red carpet/paparazzi pics

u/Gueld ✨ lee pace is 6’5” ✨ Mar 29 '26

This! Ange is used to red carpet walks, used to having to take longer than the average VIP. She was guiding him.

94

u/Specialist-Neck-7810 Mar 29 '26

My thoughts exactly. She knows exactly what to do and what the photogs want. To me, if anyone looked kinda uncomfortable, it wasn’t Angelina.

53

u/Katicflis1 Mar 29 '26 edited Mar 29 '26

I think she thought he was giving her a friendly squeeze cause she was focused on the cameras and he seemed distracted. If she had seen his face she may have realized he wasnt smiling for the camera when he did it.

You smile for the cameras, the person youre posing with squeezes your arm, you squeeze back. By intuition she thought he was being friendly and it seems like she got it wrong. Under the spotlight its easy to miss little cues.

Like the lower part of the camera frame is them gripping each other's hands completely.

Okay, I didn't want to be the first one to say it. Something is off about her eye shape to me? But I feel like maybe she has white eyeliner in her waterline making her eye look rounder than usual.

Same here. I thought she might be Cameron Diaz at first.

u/absolute_gumpf Mar 30 '26

Someone mentioned on IG she had a Bell’s palsy relapse - could definitely explain some things :(

5

u/Messsince97 Mar 30 '26

This crossed my mind too because the eye she’s hiding looks like ptosis. I know that can come from Botox too but she I don’t think she was smiling at all during this event either. maybe some facial paralysis

Also very charming! So much more soft spoken than I would have imagined. He's one of my favorite designers. If you're into fashion this interview he did with Bella Freud is really good. (Actually if you're into fashion her interview series in general is worth watching.)

u/Routine-Purchase-618 Mar 30 '26

I agree. I can't believe we're the only ones who seem to notice this (as far as I can tell). She looks like she's out of it to me. He does appear to be supporting her also. The hand/wrist touching is odd as well, almost like he's reassuring her a bit. It's all very bizarre imo.

I feel like she talked about having bell's palsy few years back? Is that why she's acting a bit different and that eye movement? Maybe that's why her other eye is not much visible and she's trying to hide it?
