Thanks to ‘JJS’ we now have scans from ES (an Evening Standard newspaper supplement) from May 19, 2008! This is a great find which talks about Jim’s family, earlier jobs, his girlfriend of four years, Mickey O’Brien and things like that. It’s one of the better articles I’ve read. I really enjoy the shoot as well. Many thanks to him for making this update possible!
I have updated the gallery with a couple of pictures today. I’ve added Jim’s photoshoots for his 2008 Men’s Vogue and Alternative Press editorials. AP having a new unseen image which I totally love! I also added a scan from the June 13th, 2008 issue of Entertainment Weekly. It was the “Next A-List” edition, and among a handful selected for next year’s top potential was Jim, how cool!
The Independent newspaper published an article about the hot new British Actor’s causing a stur. Jim is among the 5 gentlemen featured. Among some of the guys were Ed Westwick (Gossip Girl) and Ben Barnes (The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian). Here is a little piece of the article accomponied by a scan. Thanks to Lorna & Johnny!
A pack of talented, attractive young British actors are beating their American rivals to the plum roles. alice jones reports on a new invasion of Hollywood.
At the tender age of 26, Jim Sturgess already has two Hollywood leads in the bag – as Jude in Julie Taymor’s Beatles-inspired musical Across the Universe, and as the geeky MIT student-turned-card shark in 21 – as well as a supporting role playing the brother of Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson in The Other Boleyn Girl; he will next be seen in Crossing Over, an ensemble film about immigration, with Harrison Ford and Sean Penn, that is being touted as the next Crash.
So what is it about these – in their own words – pasty-faced, skinny British boys that so appeals to the casting directors? “British actors come at acting from a slightly different angle,” Sturgess says. “Because a lot of the films are cast out there, they are so used to the angle from which the Americans, and certainly the young guys from LA, are coming at it, that I think it’s interesting for them to find these English actors who maybe approach acting from a different place.”
I have been without a computer for about a week now so I was unable to update anything (evil things!), it seems there was no major news while I was ‘away’ so I don’t have much catching up to do except some other updates I’ll get to this week. Anyways The first still for Fifty Dead Men Walking was found, by Paula so I’ve added that to the gallery.
I’d also like to mention if you have not seen it, the fellow Jim Sturgess fansite, JimSturgess.org recently got confirmation Jim received their birthday gift (a scrapbook), so be sure to check out his very sweet reply and picture he sent. It was incredibly kind so congrats to all of them I know they must be ecstatic!
