Check out the Josh Lucas gallery

We’ve found that we’ve acquired a taste for the more intelligent heartthrob  - despair ye not loyal fans of the beefcake, I won’t be hanging up my tight white Tees or selling my PVC shorts on eBay just yet - even though I know I’d make a fortune [in your dreams, Ed.]. But I see no reason why a good ogle can’t be accompanied by intelligent conversation. So this week I’ve set my sights on Josh Lucas.

Josh who? Keep up at the back there! He’s a sexy southern belle who’s been quietly forging a path to the summit of Hollywood’s casting mountain for the last 10 years. This week you can catch him moving into the leading man stakes in the re-make of the sub-aqua disaster classic Poseidon, so expect lots of wet clothing….

Totty Watch wants it all and Josh “dimples to die for” Lucas has it.

Name
Joshua Lucas

Vitals
Born on 20 June 1971 in Arkansas, USA.

Southern Comfort
So far Josh has only played gay once and that was as a sleazy moustachioed bar tender who seduces Tilda Swinton’s 17-year-old son Beau in The Deep End. The queen of queer cinema is far from amused and offers Josh enough money to pay off his gambling debts if he’ll leave her son alone.

Some of Josh’s favourite films include everything by Wim Wenders and Werner Herzog and he considers Dostoevsky’s The Brother’s Karamazov a light read. Totty Watch has always found the Russian accent exceptionally seductive and maybe Josh could adopt one for our next date. It evokes fantasies of sexy spies, furtive movements on snowy winter nights and big fur mufflers.

Support Stockings
Josh has appeared in a string of quality independent movies since he started acting in high school. He punched Mark Ruffalo’s lights out in You Can Count On Me; he was a rival then a friend to Russell Crowe in A Beautiful Mind; a banker in American Psycho and he tried to exploit Eric Bana’s decidedly un-jolly green giant in Hulk.

In Wonderland Josh teased Val Kilmer, who plays love god and porn legend John Holmes, about his enormous dick. At 13 inches I’d say it was fair game, but greedy drug dealer Josh steals pots of cash from a ruthless gangster associate of Holmes’ and ends up with a bullet in the back of his head.

In 2002, he told FilmForce, “I really want to be someone who literally disappears in the role.” I think that’s about as likely as Kinga getting a sponsorship deal with Blue Nun.

Alpha Male
He may not be the first name to roll off the tongue when you’re fantasising over which Hollywood hottie you’d like to give a good seeing to, but he was the first choice for Troy director Wolfgang Petersen, who’s just cast him as the lead in his remake of the 1972 disaster classic The Poseidon Adventure due for release next year. Petersen might not have the flair for historical epics dating as far back as Homer, but Das Boot proves he can direct a decent movie about a boat at least.

And Lasse Hallström, who directed The Cider House Rules, chose Josh to play Jennifer Lopez’s love interest in the recently completed An Unfinished Life. A tall order for even the most accomplished of actors, let alone one whose most difficult screen girlfriend to date has been Reese Witherspoon in the sickeningly saccharine Sweet Home Alabama. Fortunately for Josh he’ll have old stalwarts Robert Redford and Morgan Freeman to help him out if the prima donna goes into overdrive.

Southern Drawl
On Reese Witherspoon he gushes: “She's my ultimate girl. She's so smart and sassy and sexy and cute and just this little spitfire. She's one of these rare people who’s not only physically quite beautiful, but she's so extremely sharp. With Reese, her mind is so rapid and so precise.” Bleurgh!

“I always wanted a pair of leather trousers, but I just don’t think I could get away with it.”

He told Vogue, “I’m not the type who likes to be centre of attention.”

Availability
Josh mopped up Salma Hayek’s tears after Edward Norton dumped her, but right now he’s in the fledgling stages of a new relationship. He and his new flame are currently snuggled up under a huge sheepskin together, drinking vodka jellies in a rented cottage in Red Square.
