The mystery within
“Liam is very manly on-
screen,” says Olivier Megaton,
who directs Neeson in Taken
2, out this fall. “He’s like a
mountain. He doesn’t have
to use a lot of words; he just
has to be there.” So how does
he connect with audiences?
“His eyes,” Megaton replies.
“He’s got the look that says
he’s got more hidden inside.
Neeson, 60, remembering his
roots, once said that some
days he’d think, “What am I
doing in the movies? I wanna
go back to Ireland and drive
a forklift.”

BANDERAS

Q: What hunk
would you put
on our hot list?
A: Javier Bardem.
He’s got tremen-
dous power of
communication.
Q: Do you feel
pressure to
look younger?
[Banderas is 51.]
A: No. Well,
yes, I’m a little
bald, but I don’t
think the pres-
sure is just a
Hollywood thing.
It’s a social thing.
Q: How do you
stay in shape?
A: I work out
every morning,
and when I’m
finished, the first
thing I put in my
body is white
tea. Everything is
about balance.
Q: So what makes a
person sexy? [Ma is 56.]
A: It’s deportment, com-
portment, grace, spunk, and
character. Age is not a factor.
Q: What don’t you like
about your looks?
A: My hair. My officemates
say I have this get-up-and-go
look. People are constantly
fixing it, because it stands
up in odd ways.
Q: What do you think is
your best feature?
A: Probably my mischievous-
ness. I can’t stay serious
for too long. I’m basically
up to no good.
Rupert Everett OPEN BOOK “Rupert can’t be anything but authentic,” says Christine Ebersole, Everett’s Broadway costar in 2009. “It wouldn’t fit a personality like his to keep anything hidden.” Which explains why the actor came out publicly in 1989, a rare move at he time. Acting jobs dried up, but Everett, 53, found an upside: “I’m probably much happier. I may not be as rich or successful, but at least I’m vaguely free to be myself.” ;
