Further dude/lady crossover
I just noticed something today.
Evening Standard columnist Anne McElvoy looks like a man.
Now, I don’t mean this in a crass “hurr hurrr she looks like bloke I wouldn’t would you lads” sort of way. No, I mean she looks like a very specific man. Someone really familiar.
But I can’t work out for the life of me who it is.
It’s clearly a quite fine-featured, very pretty sort of guy. I briefly wondered if it might be Ioan “Hornblower” Gruffudd, and yeah, there’s a certain resemblance there, but I’m not quite convinced that he’s the one. So I put it out to you, my loyal 2½ readers – name that dude. Who’s the sneaky gent who’s dragging up, sneaking into the Standard offices off High Street Ken, and writing opinion columns? Extra credit given for any nifty photo comparisons, emailed to the usual address.
(And anyone who says “it’s Nick Cohen” is getting IP-banned)
I’m thinking something along these lines: the kid who plays Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter films?

Something in the grin, perhaps, but I’m not yet entirely convinced…

I’m wondering if it’s Christian Coulson:
…but I can’t find a picture of him looking in the right way.

Interesting theory…

I think it’s Gael GarcÃa Bernal. Not the most convincing picture of him, this, but when he’s dragged up in Almodóvar’s Bad Education, I think he’s basically playing Anne McElvoy.

Joel Grey from Cabaret.

sort of looks like Cary Elwes from “Princess Bride”, but with thicker hair.

Cillian Murphy. In a lot of his web pictures he is pouting rather than smiling, but here’s one with a smile:
