CB and I were just chatting about Ralph Fiennes and whether or not he’s creepy. CB is definitely in the “hell yes, that man is too good at playing creeps to not be one himself” category. I’m in the “but he’s so pretty, and so talented, he would marry me if he ever met me and I bet he’s a freak in the sack” category. I don’t really understand how people cannot love Ralph Fiennes, even after that unfortunate incident back in 2007 involving a flight attendant, a airplane bathroom, and no condom. Sigh. Never before had I wanted to be an unfortunate-looking flight attendant.
Anyway, my original immortal beloved Ralph is vacationing in St. Tropez with his dear friend Liam Neeson. I wonder who had the idea to vacation together? Did Liam ask Ralph to come, or did Ralph suggest a holiday? They seem to be having a good time – Ralph more than Liam, because Ralph seems to be smiling in most of these pictures. Ralph looks great in that blue shirt, too. Yummy.
It looks like they might have a couple of young women with them too – but I’m not jumping to conclusions. I think I see one of Liam’s sons, so those girls could be Liam’s sons’ girlfriends or friends. My favorites of this group of pictures are the ones of Ralph and Liam sitting under some kind of shade, looking at something out of frame. I like how they’re sitting together, pretty close. It says to me “We’re men, we gossip at the beach like everyone else, whatever.”
Ralph seems to have been a major part of Liam’s support system after Natasha’s death this past March. Ralph and Liam have been close friends since they worked together on Schindler’s List in 1992, and Ralph was also very close to Natasha. I think it’s really cool that Ralph’s stepped up in a big way to help Liam through a difficult time. And I just love a good bromance at the beach!

yeah, I watched the Duchess the other day, he’s pretty creepy. But seems like a cool dude.
I wanna be the meat in a Ralph and Liam sammich.
I agree. He is a great friend to Liam and it was cool of him to get Liam out and living life. I’m sure I can’t begin to imagine the pain he feels poor guy.
We should all be so lucky to have a friend like that after tradgedy strikes. Their bromance makes me so happy for them and like them even more.
Ralph is about as “yummy” now as a popsicle with cat hair stuck on it. But he appears to be a good friend to his buddy and that’s very important.
@gg I disagree, but damn if your comment didn’t make me spray water all over my monitor screen. 🙂
Hopefully some of Liam’s non-skeeziness (see: flight attendants) will rub off, so to speak, on Ralph.
I always thought Ralph was too much of a pretty boy until I saw him playing creeps and weirdos. I must have seen The English Patient and Quiz Show way before Schindler’s List or Spider. But now I think he’s a fabulous actor and will watch him in anything.
And I love that he and Liam are hanging out. After my sister-in-law died, my brother just wanted people to want him around. Not feel sorry for him, not back away because they don’t know what to say. But just hang out and ask him to go places. So, good for Ralph. And hopefully, Liam will keep Ralph from future forays into the Mile High Club.
joseph fiennes as always been far hotter to me than ralph…and a lesser known perhaps,but just as talented actor as his brother,too. well,maybe just lesser known for off-screen antics. publicity’s half the success in acting,isn’t it?
Yeah, this friendship is really cool and touching. They’re both terrific actors, too. Fiennes is exhibiting true grace in helping his friend through this tough time. Sure, the plane incident was tacky, but that’s all. Doesn’t bother me in the least. Consensual, non-violent, no problem.
He is a damn fine actor, cat hair or no.
😆 @ I choose me & Ally.
I love Ralph Fiennes-i find him kind of scary/beautiful
If Ralph really were a great friend to Liam, Ralph would pay my way there to cheer Liam up.
I met Ralph several times and I just can say he is so gorgeous and a real gentleman.
