Hey, Phil. What’s goingHOLY SHIT, WHO’S THAT GUY?
“The internet says he’s named Charlie Sexton. I am assuming he is a gigolo or a polo player or something.”
Guy’s got quite the face.
“Right? First you look at the chin and think, ‘That’s the highlight.’ But then there’s the eyes: they peer into your soul and tell you it’s going to be all right.”
Great hair.
“Spectacular hair.”
He is losing points for the sunglasses on the chain. The whole open shirt thing is a major blow to his credibility, to be honest.
“Granted. Now look at his cheekbones.”
I FORGIVE HIM.

As for Philbert J, how many people look this much better at 74 than they did at 38?

Phil looked okay in ’77! Then he porked up and lost the ability to dress himself.
But, yeah: he rocks being an old guy.
Well didn’t yet have the short bus haircut, but still: I don’t think he was quite the Mr. Goodbar Diane Keaton was looking for.
As for Charlie, he’s a good example of the thin line between handsome and hideous, and he’s just on the good side of that line. A few more millimeters of skull here and there and he’d be a downright freak.
Agreed. Charlie might have a Ellen Barkin thing going where from different angles, he’s gorgeous or hideous.
This angle works for him.
Also: how do two men get their 4 hands into that particular configuration?
Yoga.
Is no one else noticing the very creepy (and tattooed) disembodied hand on Phil’s right shoulder? Just me?
