My Ménage à Trois with Charlotte Gainsbourg and James McAvoy
Posted by Jane
Since both Tilia and I have both been embarking on the casual shameless celebrity fantasy, I have one of my own. And it’s a doozy. Picture French actress Charlotte Gainsbourg, Scottish acotr James McAvoy and…well, me, who you have no I idea what I look like (sorry, can’t help you out there) in a Ménage à trois.
I’ve had the jones for Mr. McAvoy for a while now ever since I saw The Last King of Scotland a couple years back. Mind you, he isn’t the most conservatively attractive dude, but he has this almost clumsy charisma about him, and a confidence about his own sexuality I find incredibly swoon worthy. And, of course, the accent doesn’t hurt…
He always has a devilish grin on his face that makes you wonder what he’s secretly laughing at. And he almost has this sort of cheeky arrogance at times. The fact that he’s one of the most talented new actors of our generation couldn’t more appealing. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING is sexier…than talent. Who else could make an Irish paraplegic with a bad dye job sexy? Or even a red scarfed fawn with slightly pedophiliac undertone? No one my friends. I’ll even forgive him for doing Wanted and making a bit of an ass out of himself.
Not to mention watching Atonement was like a wet dream I’d been waiting for for centuries of past lives. Not only is McAvoy jamming Keira Knightly up a wall in the house library, he’s, well, jamming KEIRA KNIGHTLY up a wall in the…yeah, she’s hot. (Though unfortunately flat chested)
And can I just say, in Becoming Jane, I wasn’t expecting to like it, mainly because I didn’t realize Anne Hathaway could pull off Jane Austen, but I thoroughly enjoyed it, especially the McAvoy playing Tom LeFroy, who throws obscene books Ms. Austen’s way, challenging her morality by forcing her to look at unconventional narrative, (and some obscene nude drawings) pointing out in good taste that her horizons must be ‘widened.’
So yes, first I’d get James in bed. And he’d be wearing a suit, waiting for some action, just like this.
Ah, and then there’s Charlotte.
lovely Charlotte Gainsbourg, who you may know from I’m Not There, The Science of Sleep or the cute French romantic comedy My Wife is an Actress. She’s as unconventionally beautiful as James. Her French bohemian charm, pouty lips and sweet disposition, coupled with her passionate philosophical side really does it for me.
Plus, she sings and writes music! She’s almost just as famous in France for her singing and musical talent than she is for her acting. And her voice, though not pitch perfect, is the sweetest thing in the EU. Now while her lyrics are less than perfect and would probably sound better as a poem, I dig it, sort of like I dig disaster movies.
And let’s face it, she’s just damn sexy.
So yeah, James can be the dominant devil, Charlotte can be the experimental expert, and I’ll be the innocent ‘novice.’ Mmm.
Best fantasy. Ever.
