A prominent person recently told me that young male actors are hesitant to do rom-coms because they want Serious Roles.
If an actor thinks this, this is the dumbest things I’ve heard.
The female gaze is a Career Maker.
If women are intrigued by you, that will last decades.

I read something recently that said the male gaze is interested in women as objects, and the female gaze is interested in men as people.
Ignore if one is more morally correct.
An object’s utility is very specific and short-lived.
A person’s utility is endless and varied.

This was a breakthrough role for an unknown actor where he played a gay man and struggled with his desire for another queer man.
But, straight women are still turned on by his performance (in this one film) five years later.
Ignore the female gaze at your peril.

And the dirty, animal kingdom, primal truth is that if women love you, men will follow you.
That’s a fact of life.
And movies aren’t different.
Secure the attention of women
and everything will follow.

A few days ago, I found this clip from Joachim Trier’s upcoming movie, The Worst Person in the World (2021), and keep randomly watching it.
NEON, one of the producers behind Parasite, bought the U.S. rights for it.
I feel like the male lead, Herbert Nordrum, could become huge.

And yes.
None of this works if you’re not attractive to women and can’t act.

In that first tweet.
What I am saying is that Leo, Clooney, Brad and Denzel knew how powerful female desire is.
Separately.
Young male actors should challenge themselves and do rom-coms.
Because rom-coms are a big genre where female desire plays.

I will continue to keep my tweets PG-13 but think of a great romance drama or a rom-com as.
A medium where a male actor can showcase he knows how to cinematically pleasure female desire.
Why that would be so powerful.

This is a fucking fact.
And tell me I’m a liar.
But, women were CORRECT about Heath’s potential longggg before every comic book bro cried about Nolan casting him.
And were then immediately proved ENORMOUSLY wrong.

Last thing.
Which ties into the point of the female gaze being interested in men as people.
I think female fans are actually just better fans.
They make noise on that actor’s behalf in a way I don’t think male fans really do.
“Fangirling” is a powerful force.

I actually do want to add this, though.
Because this thread was pretty heteronormative. But, 100 percent.
I think queer and straight women desire are extremely powerful and as an actor you should be very aware of this.

Goddamn, I’m done, lmao.
But, just thinking of how true (and obvious to women) this all has been for the entire history of cinema.
Dean, Newman, Brando, Belafonte, to name a few.
Female desire endures.
