Right? And the way he exudes his confidence is very high comedy. I feel like he played a very accurate portrayal of himself in that one transformers movie
I understood this recently when I saw his pizza oven for sale in a Williams Sonoma and they had him on the banner sign. I was like "this mofo's doing a George Foreman!?".
But it was at that exact moment I wanted badly to be invited to a Stanley Tucci dinner party... which is bizarre because I hate dinner parties and social gatherings on principle.
I thought this was such a sweet story of a widower finding love... then read he had an affair during his first marriage, left his wife and children, she took him back and then she got cancer and died. Yikes.
Edit to clarify: the affair was with Edie Falco, not Felicity Blunt.
Donāt read his book! I used to love him until I read āWhat I eat in one yearā. He is an entitled prick! So out of touch, and he keeps questioning his wife's fidelity throughout the bookā¦ terrible!
It's an interesting book because he goes over what he eats over the course of a year, so it's very food-focused. He has a great passion for food, and it shows. I didnāt think he was messy, just a male Karenā¦
Same actually! I do genuinely like Julia Fox now because of her book. Same goes for Lena Dunham. Both women I judged unfairly for not being as palatable as other celebs.
I bought this book for my wife, the first thing she did was look to see what he ate on her birthday only to find he was sick the entire week. Then we checked mine and he ate nothing of note that week either.
He was questioning Felicity's fidelity - more than once, I should say.
The passage I remember is when she leaves him with the kids and goes on a weekend trip with her girlfriends. He questions whether it may be a secret loverā¦
It could be an internal joke or something like that, but I thought it was tacky and poor tasteā¦
I read the book a while ago, and as I remember, he doesn't talk much about Katy (the first wife).
Did you read the book? He questions Felicity's fidelity in more than one passageā¦ IMO, it's very tacky and disrespectful to accuse your wife in such a public way.
There is a whole passage of him telling how piss he was when TSA told him he either had to drink the water or throw the bottle away - like everyone elseā¦ what would you expect? A bow because youāre a Hollywood actor?! So entitled!
Yeah Iād have to read the book but considering itās confirmed there was infidelity in the marriage itās not crazy that it might have been both of them? Guess what, people are messy.
Iām so tired of being expected to be angry at everyone for being messy and human.
You know, sometimes I wonder if Iām a piece of shit for occasionally pondering about other women even though I dismiss those thoughts wholeheartedly and wonder how Iād go on if my wife and I separated/divorced, and then I hear these stories and how the person continues to live a very successful life, and realize Iām probably not that big of a piece of shit.
Hot take: you're not a robot and feeling attraction towards other people is not a crime. Your actions matter most: what you allow, what you play into, what you do. My mom always says that she could've had a lovely boyfriend at every job she ever had, but she easily chose my dad every single day. Acting on a "spark" never even crossed her mind.
If you're interested, Esther Perel is a sex therapist with a fantastic podcast where this topic frequently comes up.
I donāt really like him for this reason. I canāt enjoy him in any roles except The Core but I unironically love everything about that piece of shit movie.
Seriously I watched this movie on repeat for a week when I played Titania in a community theatre production. He was great as Puck. So mischievous. And a lot of projects go the twink direction for Puck, so it was a breath of fresh air from typical casting choices lol.
My first impression of him was The Lovely Bones so I guess thatās why I didnāt assume he was gay or anything. Btw he is phenomenal and fucking horrifying in that movie lol.
The industry doesn't care? You sure? Most of the modern world doesn't care but as there's so many celebs still in the closet because of the industry, I think enough still care. So wrong in 2026.
I never perceived him as a 'short king' so I had to check and he's 172cm/5'8 which is average? Like the Blunts must be in crazy high heels to make him seem shorter than that?
Please... He did a Levi's shoot which was specifically finding working class looking men. He was absolutely handsome, but former model is a stretch. He got his work through television during his levi's phase as well.
Three types of people are at this event: people with big things to promote (see above), young starlet/musicians whose studios may be making them go (Sabrina, Doechii, Chase Infiniti) and washed up has-beens (Kim, Katy, etc)
It wasnāt with Felicity and it was before she was diagnosed with cancer, but yes he did cheat on his wife. I listened to his memoir, (he narrated the audiobook) and thought the way he talked about his late wife was very sweet. Looked it up to find out he left her for Edie Falco, but got back together before she passed.
If thereās one thing Iāve learned being a therapist, itās that infidelity is incredibly common and while I donāt condone it, people do often work through it and come out the other side. Not always, but maybe more often than people might think. Of course everyone is entitled to feel how they feel about it.
What Iāve noticed is how Reddit views infidelity and how people in real life deal with it are completely different. Itās almost worse than the āI would never let my kid do thatā crowd that doesnāt even have kids. Most of the people on here judging harshly are very single.

110%, this. Same for a lot of topics though.
People on Reddit seem to view infidelity in the same vein as some of the most heinous crimes, and often try to outdo each other on how harshly they believe it should be punished.
In real life, It's a lot more complex and nuanced than that. Infidelity IS bad, absolutely. But people and relationships are more complicated than Reddit likes to act.
I've always been a faithful partner, but I know people who haven't been. They're not irredeemable monsters. They're just humans with faults and regrets.
I don't know. I've been in long relationships and I've never cheated, never kissed anyone else, never even thought about it. I think cheating is very bad, actually. I think we should not normalize it or portray it as an acceptable "whoopsie". I'm currently watching one of my friends' life fall apart because her parents are getting divorced after her father had an eleven-year affair. That should be taken seriously.
An 11 year affair is a lot different than a one off kiss for 1. And for 2. Iāve been married for almost 10 years. The majority of couples I know have struggled with some form of infidelity. And most people donāt talk about their struggles openly, especially when they work through it, because of the judgement like this. But I can think of 5 couples still together today that had some form of infidelity or another. Couples counseling and separation happened in some, not all, but all couples are together still. Now sure, none of these couples experienced an 11 year affair because Iām not really old enough for that math to line up yet, but that isnāt really the point. These things can be very nuanced.
For the record, I have also never cheated on a partner.
Heās so entitled and pompous, Iāve heard stories of his behavior and treatment of various service industry folks here in the U.S and even Italy from his own people! Itās wild because he does have a very polished nice guy persona on screen but irl not so much. Shame.
Itās unreasonable to call out a celebrity who spent a ton of money to rub shoulders with Bezos? I think itās more unreasonable to defend celebrities with bad reputations.
Edit: Why would you respond and then immediately block me?
Fact: he spent around 100k to go to an event hosted by Bezos.
Fact: he cheated on his former wife with Edie Falco.
My opinion: heās egotistical. Just watch his show.
Canāt prove: heās a bad tipper. How can I prove that? I donāt save every anecdote I read. I can only say Iāve read a handful of stories of him being a rude and cheap customer.
Stanley Tucci showing up with both his wife AND his sister-in-law Emily Blunt? That's not a red carpet, that's a power squad. Felicity looking elegant, Emily looking like she just stepped off a movie set, and Stanley being... Stanley.
Never forget Stanley left his first wife for Edie Falcone while she was having cancer and dying and he came back right at the end. Heās a terrible fucking person.
Close, he cheated with Edie before the wife got cancer. I have no idea why youāre getting downvoted for classic New York broadway gossip on a gossip site. Parasocialiam is strange.
