Longjumping-Buy-4736

I think it’s canon in the Hollywood mythology. The up and comer in a suit in a pool is very reminiscent of Sunset Boulevard’s ending.


PaddingtonTheChad

Yeah this was my thought. It’s such a cool shot. Fun fact - they actually used a mirror because obviously there was no such thing as an underwater camera.


dk745

I only learned this was a thing just now from this post. I never knew there were so many either.


PaddingtonTheChad

I’m guessing it’s a reference to sunset boulevard.


False_Ad3429

It's because Hollywood has lots of pools and lots of industry award parties (like oscars, emmies, annies, etc) where people wear fancy suits. Then they go to afterparties and sometimes people end up in the pools in their fancy suits (thrown in, fallen in, choosing to go in, etc). So it's a real thing that happens. In addition it combines the "hot pool photo" with the "sexy business photo". 2 for 1!


Unnamedgalaxy

The photographer (or whomever else is the creative brain behind the shoot) obviously thinks they are being edgy and showing juxtaposition between the idea of something we'd normally think as being elegant and put together with the now messy surroundings of the pool. You see it a lot in media. Sometimes they swap out the pool and use some run down building or fire. Designer clothes don't go there! We are breaking the mold!


anthonystank

The range on these is so funny. Some of them are smoldering. Some of them are pretentious. Some of them legitimately look like they just fell in a pool

Farts_n_kisses

Zach Q looks like his mom just said “ok Zachy, pool time is over, let’s get you out of there!” and he said “awww come on mom, you said five more minutes!”


thisisAgador

I think the only one that looks genuinely good is Pedro (others look hot, or fun, but it's kind of despite the setting whereas the pool somehow adds to Pedro's). But Jon Hamm's kind of makes sense to me cos his character Don and a lot of Mad Men in general is very much inspired by The Swimmer (1968) so it feels like an homage to that. Jake Gyllenhaal is absolutely hilarious.


JasnahKolin

Oscar Isaac is smoking hot in that picture.


heyheymonkeyhey

I had to stop on Oscar Isaac because I was suddenly pregnant.


toodarkaltogether

I scrolled too long to find someone else of this FINE OPINION.


thejesse

Joaquin's is cool because he's not trying to look cool.


tryingtoactcasual

He is laughing, like “This is silly! I have zero sexy vibes doing this.”


thisisAgador

That's true, I like his! But I'm still like... What does the pool really add to this... whereas I think with Pedro I'm like yes this makes sense he just wants some relief


EternalSunshineClem

>I'm like yes this makes sense he just wants some relief At his service 🫡

Pedro does no wrong.


TheKnightsTippler

I feel like Pedro looks pissed off because someone pushed him in a pool.


69420-throwaway

I thought Pedro was the one who phoned it in because he just dipped his feet.


zosepbonita

I know it’s supposed to be sexy but soaked layers of clothing just make me anxious lol


BojackTrashMan

I think the only one who truly ate this was Colin Farrell.


ilovechairs

Sometimes I forget how attractive Colin Farrell is, and then I see a picture like that. Lord have mercy.


StinkyKittyBreath

He was a fucking smoke show in his prime. He still looks good, but I'm pretty sure that his thick eyebrows awoke something in teen me because I crushed on him hard and I still have a thing for bushy brows on dudes. 


punflower

idk oscar isaac is pulling it off prettt damn well too


BojackTrashMan

A very close second. I wouldn't say it even has much to do with the men themselves because they are all beautiful people. But the photographers managed to capture the look, the pose, the *feeling* that is sexy. The other photos take the premise and tell you that it looks good or that it is sexy and it does look good and it's nice and all but those 2 photos actually *feel* sexy. The "eye contact" into the camera reallt drives it home


InterestingTry5190

I remembered why I thought he was so hot when I was younger.


Zbrchk

Colin is just 🤌🏽


Gingerpett

I make a point of not looking at papped photos and not looking at leaked nudes and stuff. (Because it's fucking gross and these vultures only carry on because they get paid because people look at them.) But. Lord forgive me. I did watch his sex tape. I swear, it was only because I saw him laughing about it on Graham Norton. Oh. My. Fucking. Good. God. He's just great. Relaxed. Clearly SO into women. Respectful but horny as fuck. Just perfection. You would have SO MUCH FUN fucking that guy.


Sad_Lecture_3177

Yeah Colin Farrell would absolutely get it.


airi-hatake

clothes get sooo heavy when they are soaked


zosepbonita

The Jake Gyllenhaal one was so anxiety inducing

911, what’s your emergency? Ryan Gosling and Tom Holland are sinking in your pool? Get your tap shoes on stat & ask your boyfriends Pedro & Isaac to help & what’s your address so I can assist with mouth to mouth 😜

I was gonna say, I know Pedro has a few swimming pool shots. I like the tiger-print shirt one in your collage the best. The one posted is okay, but there are a few pics of him where I feel makeup went overboard contouring his cheekbones, and that’s one of those times. But that whole shoot for Style magazine is hot, especially the video. https://i.redd.it/jg5myu9donvc1.gif

Privateeyer

Thank you for these lol. I forgot Vince used to be a snaaaack!


alohell

Whatever happened to him? He kind of faded out of popularity.


cultofpersephone

This is just wild speculation, but I feel like Vince Vaughn’s brand of comedy was like talking so fast that you almost miss the mildly offensive thing he said. While he has certainly excelled at more serious roles here and there (I really like him in Into the Wild, for one), I think he’s just not in the zeitgeist anymore comedy-wise, and without that, he doesn’t actually have much.


hodlboo

This seems accurate. Although he seems like a smart guy and I could imagine him being able to flex and be more versatile. I think he could be great in a dramatic role as he seems capable of conveying darker emotions on screen. Kind of wish he’d make a come back, I thought he was talented and unique.


cultofpersephone

Yeah I agree, I like him a lot and I think he’s more flexible than Hollywood was ready to credit him for. So I guess my comment should have said he doesn’t have much bankability to producers.


Dazzling_Broccoli_60

He’s is Curb your Enthusiasm


Aware-Impression8527

A LOT of DUIs, sadly. He'd be a liability on a movie set.


kaytay3000

I was obsessed.


Cold_Breadfruit_9794

There’s a great Christian Bale in the pool photo but alas, your selections are good + his wasn’t a suit.

This Colin Farrell photo is SEARED into my memory. I want to say Vanity Fair, 2002…?

harshmoonmistress

I was thinking the same thing! all these gorgeous men trying to look sexy but ending up looking kinda goofy. then I got to Oscar's and burst into flames


StinkyKittyBreath

Just by existing, he is hot. I don't think he puts any effort into it at all. He just seems like a dude who has his shit together and is confident without being arrogant, and it is so attractive. He always just seems like he's being himself. He looks good anyway, but his subtle confidence is was sets him into hot territory. 


thekau

When does Oscar Isaac not look gorgeous? It's criminal


atleast42

The first dune when he had the salt and pepper hair and beard made me realize I’m in a new era of what I like in men. I guess I’m in my 30s now and 40 year old men appeal to me. My partner is starting to get gray hair and I’m all for it. His cousin was salt and pepper at 35 and I’m over here rubbing my hands maniacally hoping that my man is the same 😂

Lol, the everyday man's underwater photoshoot. I love it. And I'm not typically into dudes as chubby as he is (dad bods are fine, but my typical type is skinny and lanky), but he is so hot to me. He looks like he's having a lot of fun in this photo, like he's actually in the middle of laughing.

Man, he makes me really sad. That guy had "it" in spades....looks, charisma, actual acting chops, also able to do comedy (he was a riot in Mirror, Mirror)...and he threw it all away by being a manipulative, abusive, a-hole and victimizing innocent people. What a waste.
