David Oakes - Darcy 2013 et habitué des rôles de méchants!

Oui je l'avais vu aussi! Très estivale cette pub d'ailleurs, ça sent les vacances.

Sur Tumblr, je suis tombée sur un article consacré à l'acteur dans le magazine 1883 (que je ne connais pas). Comme l'article en question est plutôt sympa (et instructif !  ) et que les photos ne sont pas mal non plus, je les partage avec vous

Growing up in Fordingbridge, England, the son of a Church of England Canon, head boy at his school and graduating with a first in English Literature from the University of Manchester; David Oakes sounds too good to be true. However I soon learn that his acting is not just brilliant, it’s brilliantly dark. Let’s just say his real-life background is a huge contrast to the roles he’s accepted for both theatre and TV, so I seriously didn’t know what to expect when it was time for me to sit down and have my way with him. All will be revealed...

Since graduating from Bristol’s Old Vic Theatre School in 2007, Oakes has had a number of great opportunities to push the boundaries and shock audience members, including members of his own family. Later this year, he will make his feature film debut in the horror ‘Truth or Dare’ in which he plays a psychopath who abducts a group of teenagers. Smooth. But it’s all fun and games for this 27-year-old pro. His current project, ‘The Borgias’ sees him taking on the role of the arrogant (and not to mention cowardly) Juan Borgia. The show was a huge success in the US when it first launched on cable network Showtime, delivering the strongest drama premiere in seven years. It was recently renewed for a second series.

From Shakespeare to psychopaths, here I meet the man himself to get some truth behind his choice of roles and to find out if he is as holy as his upbringing suggests. His beard isn’t a grand piece but it is there, looking as manly and rugged as ever. Nice. He wears his hair as it falls naturally, to one side, almost like a 90’s curtain effect, but not as specific as Ben from ’A1’, more towards the old-school Dicaprio. Got my approval. Wearing an average t-shirt, jeans and boots, this fella screams ’what you see is what you get’, and it suits him, no extras needed. We immediately get down to business and I jump straight in by asking about his upbringing. "I grew up with horses and a Vicar for a Dad!" Sounds all very innocent. "People are judged accordingly, I’m true to myself and like to live genuinely." And he does just that. He isn’t living a lie, he knows what he wants, how to get it and then he goes for it. Job well done.
I asked how it feels being linked to iconic actors such as Kevin Spacey; Oakes once performed under his management in the ‘24 Hour Plays’. He begins to chuckle and through the laughter he manages, "Kevin Spacey. How do I sum up Kevin Spacey?" Giggling still, I wonder if I’ve missed something. "Kevin really is something." Seeing as he’s on first-name terms I can only assume they’ve met more than once. "Yeah, he’s a good guy, I wish he’d championed me further but he gave me a chance and that’s great." No shit. Not to mention he’s currently starring alongside Jeremy Irons in the miniseries, ‘The Borgias’. "Jeremy and I are from the same place, we even went to the same drama school so we get on and we have a laugh." They get on so well, they often get told off by the director to "wrap up" due to their severe case of improvisation. He describes his time on set, "fun and manic".
Despite his lifestyle David really doesn’t care for keeping up to date with fashion and music. "Rhianna? Who’s that? Something to do with an umbrella?" Bless. He’s well into his folk music, cheap H+M pants and confessed to "shitting himself" when he was forced by his friends to pay Dolce & Gabbana a visit to purchase a two piece suit. That’s as fancy as he gets. This is just a single guy, who enjoys life whilst focusing on his flourishing career, not just as an actor but also with an end goal to directing his own work. All in good time.

Ah oui pas mal les photos!

On peut dire ça, oui

Avis aux "fans" : David Oakes tourne actuellement dans sa première comédie romantique!   Elle s'appelle Love by design. Apparemment, certaines scènes se passent en Roumanie. Une photo où on ne voit pas grand chose :

Bon à savoir  Merci pour l'info !  

Merci pour l'info!

J'ai vu cette info mais je ne suis pas sûre que le film soit un chef-d'oeuvre, le résumé faisait un peu téléfilm du dimanche ou de l'après-midi. Mais bon, au moins un rôle positif pour lui!

Parfois, ça peut être agréable aussi le téléfilm du dimanche ou de l'après-midi  Bon, cela dit payer la séance de ciné pour aller le voir, ça l'est peut-être un peu moins !

Voici le résumé que j'avais trouvé :

Citation :

"Ms. Seymour (Austenland, Wedding Crashers, Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman) will play the role of VIVIEN THOMPSON, editor-in-chief of a New York fashion magazine called Beguile. Vivien is complicating things for DANIELLE LUCA, a young Romanian woman with the will to succeed, played by Giulia Nahmany (Designer, Pop Star). And when Vivien steals Danielle`s concept and give it to a co-wroker, Danielle looses her cool, her job and her boyfriend.

With her reputation now shattered, Danielle decides to go off the grid to let things cool off. She returns to her home in Romania she finds herself a fish out of water but eventually reconnects with her family and her teenage passion for designing clothes.

On a jaunt into the village on her scooter, Danielle literally runs into ADRIAN EDWARDS (The Borgias, The White Queen) a handsome Brit. Sparks fly and with a new relationship burgeoning, things begin to look up for Danielle. But when she finds out that Adrian is the silent owner of the local Clothing Manufacturing plant with plans to close it down, Danielle jumps to conclusions. Before Adrian has a chance to explain himself, Danielle must head back to New York to premiere her new clothing line at fashion week where to the surprise of all her former Beguile colleagues, she becomes an overnight success. Suddenly her old boyfriend wants her back and Vivien offers her a better job, but Adrian has plans of his own. He follows Danielle to New York to tell her he has found a way to save the plant with hopes she will become its head designer.

Olivia Hallinan (Lark Rise to Candleford, Sugar Rush) will play CLAIRE, Vivien`s overwored assistant and a few young talents trained by David Lipper at Mandragora Acting Studio will fill out the main cast.

Love By Design is a romantic comedy from Michael & Janeen Damian the filmmakers who brought you 20th Century Fox`s Flicka franchise and Marley and Me: The Puppy Years.

The cinematography will fall under Viorel Sergovici`s and Lulu de Hillerin`s lead and the production design is signed by Mihai Dorobantu and Andreea de Hillerin. Love By Design is a Solar Indie Junction production. Solar Indie Junction is a production company based in Bucharest, part of the Solar Entertainment Group founded by Bobby Paunescu in Los Angeles, 2011. Daniela Nahmany, Viorel Sergovici, Stefan de Hillerin and Janeen Damian are the team of producers working on this picture.

Principal photography starts on the 31st of October in the picturesque village of Saschiz, Romania, while most of the scenes will be shot in Bucharest and completed in New York City. The film is scheduled for a world wide release 2014.”

J'ai hâte de voir les premiers extraits vidéos pour découvrir si ça tient d'une bonne comédie romantique ou d'un téléfilm pour la télévision.

Et voici les premières photos promo du film  





Et la superbe (         ) affiche :

Encore un bel exemple de non-maîtrise de Photoshop   

En effet, magnifique... La coupe de cheveux aussi d'ailleurs!

Oui, je préfère son look avec ses cheveux plus longs et sa barbe de 3 jours

C'est clair...

Merci pour ces photos Emjy ! Ce projet ne respire pas le chef-d’œuvre   

Il y a des photos des répétitions sur le site de la pièce Shakespeare in Love. David Oakes, qui a décidément beaucoup d'humour, plaisante sur l'évolution de son look depuis les répétitions de Pride & Prejudice, un an plus tôt    :



cette photo est pas mal non plus :

Merci Emjy!!   

Voici une petite interview de David Oakes qui était nominé aux What's On Stage awards pour son interprétation de Marlowe dans la pièce Shakespeare in love :

On pourra retrouver David Oakes dans le 1er épisode de la saison 3 d'Endeavour (ça pour une surprise !)
