This Speedo shot almost makes me want to see How to be a Latin Lover. Except he isn't actually the star, he's Vadhir Derbez, playing Maximo at age 21, when he marries a 55-year old woman.We're supposed to believe that Maximo has "made a career of seducing older women." Except they stay married for 25 years,when she finally dumps him.
Ok, that's not a career, it's a romance. He happens to like older women. Big deal.
Here's the contemporary Maximo (Eugenio Derbez). A Saturday Night Live parody.
Maximo moves in with his estranged sister (Salma Hayek) and starts giving seduction lessons to his 10-year old heterosexual nephew. Meanwhile he sets his sights on the grandmother of the boy's crush, played by 1960s superstar Raquel Welch (age 79).
Ok, a 10 year old with a heteronormative crush. And no gay people. Next!
I don't even care about the speedos.
For some reason people find him funny- he was in that horrible remake of "Overboard" when the sexier Chris Pratt dropped out
ReplyDeleteMan, here's a whole movie about double standards that says nothing about them: "Whore" is an insult, but only if directed at a woman. "Kept boy" is an insult, but only if your client is a man. Teaching a ten-year-old the art of seduction is rightly sean as child abuse, but if you're teaching a boy how to seduce women, it's just guiding him to manhood. Female sex tourists aren't creepers like their male equivalents (and if you have enough money to spend a weekend in another country just for the hookers, the phrase "the Aristocrats" comes to mind) but just being liberated. (Hollywood has never met an issue which can't be solved by spending more money than most people have.)
