Tom Sturridge

Somehow you must appreciate him always wearing the same stuff. Hahah.
 
''Waiting For Forever'' Los Angeles Premiere - February 1, 2011

tlfan

hasn't Rob worn this sweater before?! or does Tom wear it all the time and i'm just mixing it up?
 
Rob wore that sweater in that first pic of him ages ago when he was an "actor in making" - that pic of him in the middle of the street with faulty adidas sneakers.

thanks for the pics!
 
ooh right, i remember!:rofl:
i love these guys:lol: although that is a terrible outfit for a premiere, he should've at least left the beanie at home and put on a normal shirt, but i'm glad he looks clean at least
 
Only *looks* clean. I wonder what happens/lives under that beanie. :rofl:^_^
But is cool how he doesn't give in to the pressure of wearing head to toe Armani or whatever and having 685432 layers of foundation and bronzer on his face.

yeah, i "get" the whole "i'm above that as i'm an artist" thing, but this is like the first movie in ages that he made that's actually going to be released and he shows up in a suit older than 5 years now (which is fine i guess cus he had like 2 premiers in between), old sweater and a dirty beanie on his head. pretentious and crappy attitude, if you ask me. dude, nobody made you to do a movie with Bilson and you actually have to work to get some recognition. unbelievable, i know. :rolleyes:
 
i agree. it seems unprofessionnal to me. he could have made an effort.
 
Unprofessional is just the wrong word. It's not like he turned up drunk on set. Why is it that Helena Bonham Carter is praised for dressing crazily, yet this guy is getting bashed for dressing scruffily?
 
^It's not consistant I, agree

Personally, I think his look is fine. It's the fact that he comes across as so arrogant which is annoying ><

yeah, but Helena makes an effort and i'm sorry, but it's one thing to come to a premiere with weird extensions wearing new Marc Jacobs and being clean (when i say new Marc Jacobs i mean clean clothes without holes which are supposed to be used for more special occasions, plus when i see HBC i don't see scruffy i see quirky style that sometimes goes overboard, but overall a look of soemone who actually puts an effort and thought in wearing the stuff she wears), than wearing something dirty/old and on top of that wear that damn beanie (sorry, i'm allergic to beanies and it's "inapropriate" usage, esp at these times when i'm actually wearing one and still have manners depending on the situation/indoors/outdoors). RC/big LA premiere is a part of the job, just like promotion or the actual shoot, and to me this kind of behavior equals arriving to the set drunk (and not harming anyone in physical way) or being extra rude to the press during the junkets - if everyone's putting an effort in this and you obviously refuse to on purpose then yeah, i find it unprofessional. some situations just seek some criteria to be fulfilled and this is, for me and as this whole post is just my opinion, one of those situations.

it's just that this whole look falls perfectly in the whole Sturridge category of him being arrogant (as Tiffany said) and acting "superior" to all of it without real backing it with something substantial. maybe that's why i don't see anything appealing in it. for me it's just another part of this "wounded artist" lifestyle he likes to present as his.

Hmm, I don't know about Helena not being considered 'scruffy'. All you need to do is google 'Helena Bonham Carter scruffy'. It's kind of like what HBC herself said, it's shallow industry and people will care about what the celebrities are wearing, whether they care about fashion or not. To me, he looks fine for someone who starting out in Hollywood. Maybe when he 'makes it', he will have a stylist. At this point in time, he seems to not care about fashion and he's not used to it. As you said before, this is like his first premiere in how many years? He doesn't look any more scruffy than Helena Bonham Carter does at some events (excluding the SAG Awards). Besides, I think he looked great when he was promoting The Boat That Rocked, so maybe this was just a bad day. :innocent:

 
Lola - i dunno, for me, HBC, when it comes to these kind of big events always looks "top quirky", it's just up to taste i guess (and i know it's a shallow industry, but at the end of the day, it's just their job to do well on and for the movie they signed up to). it's just that in like 5 years he went from being Tom Ford's basically model on the red carpet, to wearing a damn beanie for the premiere. he's been in business for awhile now (and he's no stranger to styling or even modeling). since he's refusing (or just not getting any or much) jobs in the last few years he's out of spotlight and always seem new to the scene (he was called the next big thing in 2008 and even had Vogue spread with Karlie Kloss if i'm not mistaken). it's just that the devolution of his styling for the premieres has been pretty obvious, it's been a string of bad days :rofl:, but i hope you're right and he'll improve :)!:

I agree Daj, I mean how hard is it to show up in a clean suit or at least just refrain from wearing the britpackhood of the traveling sweater? I get that their mantra and lifestyle is hoboism, but it wouldn't kill Tom to put in some effort. Especially for a premiere like this.
 
Tom Sturridge Talks to NextMovie About Working with KStew, Andrew Garfield & Fave 'Friends'

If you look closely at images of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart out and about together – at the airport, at a club, even that infamous, blurry, smooching shot – you’ll find a third person popping up.

But Tom Sturridge is no third wheel. The 25-year-old London native may be Pattinson’s best friend, but he’s an actor in his own right, and he’s ready to prove it with the new indie drama “Waiting for Forever” and an upcoming turn opposite Stewart in the much-buzzed-about adaptation of “On the Road.”

Following gigs in “Being Julia” and “Pirate Radio (it's really called The Boat That Rocked - I hate when American's change titles),” “Forever” finds Sturridge as Will, a pajama-wearing juggler who follows his childhood best friend, Emma (Rachel Bilson), as she moves around the country without her knowing.

Chatting with NextMovie, the actor has some awesomely kind words for the likes of Bilson, Stewart and future Spider-Man, Andrew Garfield.

Some might call Will a stalker – how would you describe him?
He’s someone who had witnessed his parent’s death – quite a traumatic experience – in his childhood which punctured his emotional development. I see him as a child following someone around; he follows someone around as a child would as opposed to the malevolence of a stalker… I think you stop being a stalker the moment you engage with the person you’re following, and the fact that they communicate changes things.

You were almost in “Jumper” and your “Waiting for Forever” co-star Rachel Bilson wound up in the film. Had you always wanted to work with her?
I was doing it with a different girl at the time, the people who were making “Jumper” decided to change it and have older actors, so it was never me and Rachel.

We haven’t taken a scientific poll or anything but Rachel might be the most adorable person on the planet.
Yeah, Rachel is f**king incredible actually. It’s weird going to a foreign country random place and trying to become a character in a good way and Rachel was so amazing, just because she’s so kind and open and talented.

Speaking of your gorgeous co-stars, how has working with Kristen Stewart on the set of “On the Road” been?
It was so terrifying entering into that world and what was great was just having someone that I knew and actually working with her. She’s just a f**king extraordinary actress, just really, really extraordinary and it’s astonishing just to see her do her job.

And how was shooting otherwise?
It was genuinely, one of the deepest working experiences I’ve ever had. It was extraordinary.

What was so extraordinary about it?
Well, firstly to be a part of that group to take on the filming of that novel – just to be a part of it is pretty f**king incredible in itself. And working with Walter Salles, who I think is one of the greatest directors alive, and then working with these actors who, to me, are the best actors working today and together trying to do justice to what is such a phenomenal novel. It was kind of amazing, and we were shooting for six months, we rehearsed for a month. It was such a massive part of my life.

Other than that, is there any kind of fantasy role you’d like to play someday?
I don’t really think like that. I don’t think it’s that helpful really to imagine. I’m much more about reaction to the scripts I come across.

Would you do a superhero movie, perhaps?
I don’t think I could do a superhero movie. I’m just not really that type of guy.

Neither is Andrew Garfield.
No he is. Let me tell you – Andrew Garfield is a f**king superhero.

OK, so maybe romances are more your speed. One of our Twitter followers – clearly inspired by Will in “Waiting for Forever” – urged us to ask you: How far would you go for love?
I’d go as far as it takes. There’s never too far. You do what you have to do for your girl. (Editorial note: swoon).

Will hitchhikes to meet up with Emma in their hometown. Have you ever hitchhiked?
In England and mainly in Africa. I was going to this place in Botswana called Maun and to get around town – it’s incredibly spread out – you just have to hitchhike, so everyone does it. Also I picked up a hitchhiker as well in America. That wasn’t a very good idea.

Oh did it not turn out well?
Actually it was very weird. He was an amazing guy, he lived northern Oregon and he had fallen in love with this girl that lived in L.A. and I think she had a kid and quite an abusive ex-partner. She’d had an awful phone call where she was scared and he was walking from his place in Oregon to L.A. It sounds like something from the film – I never put two and two together. I haven’t thought about that guy in years and he was quite extraordinary. After he told us his story, me and a friend said, “We’ll drive you,” but then he did become quite scary. You know when you’ve spent time with someone and you suddenly realize they have a bit of danger in them. But it was all right.

Will is a crazy-awesome juggler and now you’ve got this great parlor trick. How are you enjoying your newfound skill?
[To learn] it took a few weeks, maybe a month, of doing every day for hours. It was pretty intense… The moment we wrapped the film, I threw the balls away and have not juggled them since. I find those balls frustrating and I will never juggle again.

Your American accent in the film was pretty solid. How quickly did you pick up that skill?
I don’t know. I guess it’s basically gone through my memory because of “Friends” episodes.

Did you have a favorite character on “Friends?”
It changed. In the beginning, Chandler was definitely the funniest and then Joey had a phase and then Ross by the end – they all kind of evolved. Rachel was obviously the best girl.

He's a friends fan. Good lad B)
