The shoes bug me out too.

At face value, the cover is actually stunning and would be even better without the random dog and those ugly shoes. God knows this guy is not exactly the most photogenic, but they've made him look attractive and stylish here. And in a way, it's nice to see a men's fashion magazine giving him the same treatment Tina Fey got for her Vogue cover - basically, not allowing him to look his usual scruffy, man-child self.
But then this looks exactly like the kind of outfit Mobolaji, the stylist, would wear. It's very much his personal style. And to that end, I'm not sure how whether I should like or loathe it. Is it lazy, because Mobolaji only had to open his own wardrobe to build the story, or innovative, because really, this is actually Seth Rogen 'as you've never seen him before'?

Plus the editorial....... Random! Smoking Cuban cigars on the beach with a presumably Gucci ashtray? Classy!

I love the new GQ. US Vogue needs the same shake-up. I'm tired of Anna's vision. I hope Will is in the same way as Dan Peres at Details.

 

[Perickles]

I love this 100%!

 

[Morgane07]

Very good. Great work. Very pleasantly surprised.

When did Seth Rogen glow the hell up?!

 

[Nomar]

I'm impressed but I would prefer it without the dog, even if it's cute.

Not a fan of him and his 13 year old boy humor, but this is admittedly fantastic.

Because long-form journalism is SUCH a rarity nowadays. Spoiler alert, he's actually been doing this since his first issue. Long-form content, I mean. There are only more features this time around because it's a June/July issue, meaning more pages can be freed up.

The blatant scamming of CN's resident tye-dye enthusiast is laughable.



GQ’s Doing Something Special This Month
Editor-in-Chief Will Welch on GQ's first-ever Summer Beach Reads issue.

Greetings from #NewGQ HQ.

As you may have heard, 2019 is a year of major change at GQ—and there’s no way we were gonna take the summer off from that.

So I am thrilled to introduce you to our first-ever Summer Beach Reads issue. Seth Rogen’s dog, Zelda, is on the cover. (Note: Seth Rogen appears as well.)

Needless to say, this issue delivers all the fly summer fashion that you’d expect as you prepare for the season of rooftop parties, backyard barbecues, dreamy beach vacations, and hot, hazy days by the pool. From swim trunks to slides to sunglasses, it’s all in there.


Yet this issue also has a higher calling: There’s a whole book’s worth of long-form storytelling packed between its covers. I’m talking about deep, rich, quintessentially GQ profiles of Seth Rogen and American tennis hopeful Frances Tiafoe—and a sprawling consideration of the Grateful Dead’s longtime guitarist, Bob Weir. (Is anybody else catching him on tour with Dead & Company this summer? I know I’ll be there.)

But you know what makes our Summer Beach Reads issue so beach-ready? A big batch of rollicking, totally gonzo reported features that will have you turning pages so fast you’re liable to rip them right out. There’s a small-time grifter with a taste for BDSM. A treacherous international cartel specializing in running animal bones on the black market. A pair of aging nuns who allegedly ripped off the families of local schoolchildren so they could fund secret gambling runs to Las Vegas. And, finally, when we learned that Mike Tyson was planning to open a weed resort (complete with the world’s longest lazy river) in the California desert, we went to investigate...and things only got weirder from there. Way, way weirder.

Remember: You can’t stare mindlessly at Instagram all summer—the sun’s too bright and your friends’ family vacations just aren’t that interesting. So when you’re packing your sunscreen and your towel, bring along the new Summer Beach Reads issue of GQ, too. You’ll hardly believe the wild stories you’ll read—but every word is true.

Subscribe to GQ now and we’ll start sending you every issue (including this one—guaranteed!) for only $15 a year.

The #NewGQ era is all about big ideas and bold, exciting changes. And we’re just getting started.
