he’s a great actor, but I feel like he’s one of those people who would be a lot more famous if Tom Hiddleston wasn’t around…they just kind of fill the same niche..as handsome, talented, tall, mid/early 30s British actors, which frankly, the world never has too many of..but I digress–
their early careers and roles could easily have gone to the other..for the longest time I got them confused and I’m GREAT with remembering (then) obscure handsome British men…
but I mean really…
J.J. Feild is probably like “I’m versatile. Look—I fit right in wearing period costumes.”
Tom: Oh…why hello..
J.J.: …all right fine. Look at my distinguished facial hair and grey suit.
Tom: Nice look!
J.J.: this guy again?! whatever..I’m going to be fine. I’m in MARVEL movies now…I’ll be the guy where people go ‘who is that?!’ in the superhero movies!
Tom: …
“…and that’s a great uniform!”
J.J.: …damn this guy. It’s cool…I’m in movies with talented young actors on the rise to fame like Benedict Cumberbatch..we’re bros now.
Tom: …sorry, man. Ben’s mine..
J.J.: FINE. I’ll continue to rock a brown leather jacket.
Tom: …so sorry..
J.J: GAAAAAAAAAAH!! Dapperness initiated.
Tom: really, I am SO, so sorry..
J.J.: …alright. pulling out ALL the stops: curly hair, adorableness, black jacket, white t-shirt, black & white photography…THIS aught to cinch it.
.
Tom: ehehehehehehe
this is how I imagine it, but I’m sure in all actuality they are both talented actors who will get great roles and contribute greatly to their profession. while they do share some striking similarities, I think their genuine talent is the similarity I find most interesting.
