The Official Men's Magazine Thread

[phungnam96]

I cannot understand GQ Italia's aesthetic, the layout is really messy and Jake Gyllenhaal's cover was a reprinted.

When did it become socially acceptable for Mike Tyson, a convicted r*pist (additional women have accused him of assaulting them as well, but didn't press charges) with a history of violence, homophobic slurs and public r*pe threats, to be put on magazine covers. I know he says he's a changed man and maybe he is, but it's disappointing to see him get covers, movie cameos, talk-show appearances, etc. over people who haven't been so horrific in the past.

GQ Latin America November 2016: Edgar Ramirez by Frankie Batista

Is there really no more interest in men's fashion/male modeling here that the men's fashion mags and the "men's" magazine stuff has to be lumped together?

Yeah— why not just list the entire damn contents page on the cover LOOOL

Looks like another mindless follower of that deliberately-amateur, ugly layout that’s so trendy with the kids… except it’s GQ— and kids aren’t exactly going crazy with this brand. Stupid marketing move that’s going to alienate their core readership, and have kids (and myself) roll there eyes at them.

As for Tyson, he does speak his belief, which I do find refreshing unlike so many carefully, PC-conscious stars who come off so phoney and pandering. And as disgusting as his (alleged) offences have been-- they are of the past, so I do think he deserves a second chance. People do change. I'd rather see Tyson on the cover than another mopey-faced one of that bland Drake. (That face-tattoo though...)

Well honesty is an admirable trait for a celebrity to possess, but if speaking your truth means being a disgraceful person, maybe it's best to keep your mouth shut. Honesty may be a virtue but so is charity, tact, etc.

In terms of his offenses, he was convicted of r*pe, so it's more than alleged. And he was alleged to have assaulted others as well, but it never went to trial. But make no mistake, he is a convicted r*pist. Imagine Brock Turner being on the cover of GQ in 20 years. And yes, he says he's a changed man but 8 years after the r*pe he was convicted for, he used a homophobic slur and threatened to r*pe a reporter multiple times. There are millions.... no, billions of people who haven't committed such heinous crimes and in my opinion it's disgusting to present a convicted r*pist on the cover of a magazine as some sort of heroic figure. Madonna used him in one of her recent songs, he gets movie cameos, etc. I just don't get it. Celebrities have been black-listed for far less.

Need you ask?? We're living in a world where Donald Trump is running for president! LOL

Also not loving the Fassbender cover. I find him painfully dull both on and off the screen.

I agree about Trump but Michael Fassbender is one of the best actors of our generation come on!!! Haven´t you seen him on Prometheus or Xmen or his latest films? He is a great actor, great looking, funny and talented in my opinion.

 

[KoV]

I like the shot UK GQ chose for the cover, but the text overload completely ruins it. It's such a hodge-podge of different fonts, sizes, and colors.

Tyson remains a controversial personality, no doubt. He came up through such an aggressive and brutal era in an even more controversial sport with the likes of sleazy people like Don King and Donald Trump, and despite his unwavering support of Trump in this election year, he’s still an interesting individual to me.

I’m aware he was convicted and served his sentence for r*pe. And he’s not winning humanitarian awards any time soon even now with the things he’s said, nor any criminal allegations. And, since his supposed comeback in boxing, with him biting Evander Holyfield, I’ve realized that this is an man who will unlikely make peace with his dangerous— and darker side. But I think he’s an intelligent individual, and with age, he’s even become more introspective, with an much more human component that’s open to growth and change. If I were interviewing him— or reading an interview of him, I find him so such richer, so much more fascinating a subject than someone like Michael Fassbender (whom I’ve nothing against, and only using him as an example since he’s the next face on this thread LOL).

I don't find Tyson admirable by any means, and his offences shouldn't be brushed off casually, of course. He is just someone who displays growth-- sometimes for the better, and sometimes not so much for the better. He's very human to me.

( I’d love to see Tyson in a high fashion campaign. But that awful face-tattoo… Profile shots to the rescue!)

 

[TaylorBinque]

Fassbender is goddamn captivating. GQ UK team must really hates negative space. It's like they can't see a blank space and has to fill it up with more text.

 

[KoV]

Well, I disagree but I appreciate your thoughtful response and I think I understand your viewpoint.

I'd be curious to see this one of Mike Great colour

Didn't know he was a redhead

Edgar Ramirez

Not too sure what to think of the GQ UK one, though. I absolutely love the Fassbender. He is one of the most talented and daring actors of his generation and I think he is incredibly good looking as well. But this photograph doesn't really work as a cover.
