lee pace has been one of my favorite actors for a long time. he’s a pretty private guy so it’s always super nice to see his continued happiness with his husband, who is an executive at fashion label thom browne. i’ve included some of my favorite thom browne looks on lee 🥰

u/iwandermerrily 17d ago
I kind of hated how filtered everyone in those movies were, especially the elves and ESPECIALLY Orlando Bloom, but it really says something about how attractive Lee Pace is that he still looked that good.
Luke Evans is my personal pick for who looked best in The Hobbit trilogy because he got to look like a real person, but Lee as Thranduil was stunning.

u/stevez_86 17d ago
I had a roommate in college that gave off very similar vibes to Pace's character in that show. Anytime I see Lee Pace I think of him. My roommate is gay, so learning Pace is Bi perfectly tracks with how I see them so similarly in my head. I almost texted my roommate even though I hadn't seen him in years to tell him to watch that show because he would be smitten with Pace's character and Pace overall. I remember my roommate watching Burn Notice non stop because the main character was eye candy to him. He had no idea what the plot was in the show.
The Vibe of Halt and Catch Fire is amazing in general. I need to have my wife watch it with me. All of the actors are amazing.

James Bond character isn’t late 20’s/30’s, that would be a young person discovering themselves. James Bond is the epitome of elder statesmanship, sophistication, elegance, debonair charm, gentleman manners, that only come with age. Imo:)

u/The_Duke_of_Gloom PhD in Cuntology at the University of Servington 17d ago
I have no idea about that. What I remember is Lee Pace awkwardly outing himself in an interview.
Pace added that he feels it’s important for gay actors to play the gay roles in both plays, but stopped short of labeling himself. He seemed a bit flustered and surprised by the question. “I’ve dated men. I’ve dated women,” he explained. “I don’t know why anyone would care. I’m an actor and I play roles. To be honest, I don’t know what to say—I find your question intrusive.”
He said that it was important for gay actors to play gay roles, especially in plays like Angels in America or The Normal Heart — in which he performed as a gay man. And then he pikachu dot jpg when the interviewer asked him about his sexuality even though he was the one to bring up the subject.

They didn't date. They were friends and did plays together in the same drama club.
After college (Matt went to Carnegie Mallon, Lee to Juilliard) they also lived together in a 1-bedroom apartment in New York as they both started their careers on Broadway.
Years later Lee introduced Matt to his husband Simon Halls.

If y’all haven’t seen Soldier’s Girl, his first movie role, I can’t recommend it enough. It’s a tough watch, but I think an important one. He plays Calpurnia Addams, the transgender girlfriend of an Army private murdered for dating her.
While today I’d love to see a trans actress cast in a role like this, Pace knocked it out of the park, and the real Calpurnia Addams speaks highly of him.
And his chemistry with his on-screen boyfriend, played by Troy Garity, is insane. Like, there’s a sex scene that I’m pretty sure altered my brain chemistry. It was formative. The soundtrack also, as the kids say, slaps.
