Gratuitous Douglas Booth

.

I don't remember when it was that I first heard of Douglas Booth but I know it was quite awhile ago, definitely before he got picked to play one of Noah's sons in Darren Aronofsky's upcoming arc-stravaganza, so I was surprised to see that I'd never posted one of these sorts of posts for him before. You know I bet I heard of him before there was much to post, and that was why I didn't do that right away - I needed to wait for the world to catch up with me, see. It's my pretenatural excellence that's the problem, you guys!

Ahem. Anyway the trailer for the new Romeo & Juliet came out earlier this week - he's the boy Capulet natch, opposite Hailee Steinfeld - and it put him back on my mind from them many moons ago. But you know what it is that I think of when I look at Douglas Booth? I think of that line in Fight Club about wanting to destroy something beautiful. He' just too damned pretty, ya know? I suppose that worked well for him when he played Boy George, but there are only so many parts like that. The bearded look wasn't bad...

He could really use a scar. Something to muck up the prettiness just a beat. Dear Douglas Booth's Agent, if you're reading this, tell him to fall down a flight of stairs or something. I'm not saying you should throw acid on him the next time he walks through your door or anything that drastic, but a couple of smacks, eh, who's gonna know?

And speaking of hitting, why don't we all hit the jump 

so's we can look at some more pics of this pretty thing?
