He's poor and has no career - he's not a catch by any means even if you find him hot which boggles my mind.

Anybody who wishes him ill is obviously weirdly attached to his mentally ill ex-wife, Alice Eve. She's a piece of work.

Alice will go off the deep end over this.

I understand I don’t get the whole marriage/ wedding compulsion, but it is so badly advised here. Neither of them are young, have career prospects or money, seem religious, or any reason why marriage makes sense versus living together. Must really want to stick it to the ex. I feel sorry for the children.

Alice is a hoot, R13. Very funny woman.

I hope she's cooled down a bit regarding the ex & keeps it civil for the girls.

Yeah, I don't get that there is any reason to wed, except to try to prove that it will last. The nuptials and ensuing publicity will just heap on more pressure.

Maybe he's trying to rehabilitate his image?

They both seem a bit dim and Alice very damaged.

I know she is crazy and maybe was crazy before him, but I strongly suspect he was gaslighting her. And I don’t use that term lightly. But he was off filming wherever he was while she was in LA raising their children and not working, feeling increasingly fat and out of it. I believe he lead her on until he was over it, and it came as a huge shock to her.

They shouldn’t have to tiptoe around his disturbed ex, but setting her off affects the kids so they really ought to consider their actions more carefully. Go ahead and announce the engagement, but skip the photos featuring kissing and a potentially expensive ring. Guaranteed Alice is already trying to price that ring and is seething over it. I’m guessing it wasn’t expensive and might even be intended to annoy her.

by Anonymousreply 20January 21, 2024 2:21 PM

Well, at least we're talking about him, which I am sure is part of his objective by announcing this. He is very much a working actor who has been steadily gliding down into the C-list category, but still has enough visibility to be considered prime tabloid fodder. Crazily enough, insane Alice is who has rescued him from utter and complete oblivion and this will keep his name in the media.

Now, he'd better have Long Nose sign an iron clad prenup, because if they eventually do marry and she manages to have a child, she'll take him to the cleaners when in ten years, he decides that he wants to trade her for a younger, thinner, toothier model.

The only positive thing about this is that Alice will turn into an exploding volcano of neediness, wounded narcissism and uncontrollable rage, and her crazy antics are going to keep us entertained for months to come. I can only imagine what she's going to write now that he's decided to formalize his relationship with his side piece! I'm getting the popcorn ready. 🍿🍿🍿

Alice has been muzzled, sadly. And is not permitted to use social media to vent due to a restraining order. Alice is batshit, but yes, she been provoked and no, the sidepiece isn't her superior.

R15 Usually today, women are behind getting married. They usually hint or push the guy into proposal.

30% of proposals are legit surprises. The other % is planned and put together by the woman.

He had his chances.

He was the male lead in Marvel's FANTASTIC FOUR and its sequel RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER in the mid/late 2000s.

Those two films did fine but nothing spectacular.

I think he was overshadowed by Chris Evans, who went on to bigger and better things, instead.

I first noticed him in "Titanic" and was quite taken with him. Of course, that was 27 years ago.

True, R28 but no sane man is going to want to risk approaching this clearly unbalanced bunny boiler, or if they did they'd have to be absolutely desparate. Like getting cuccles from a tiger, there's a very good chance its not going to end well

R33 He still looks damn good for 50, especially considering what he's been through, stress ages you

Count me as another one surprised he didn't make it bigger in H-town. He had a lot of buzz after Horatio Hornblower and Titanic. I do recall Alice saying she was propositioned by Weinstein and when she spurned his advances he told her that Gruffud was finished. If true it sounds like a classic case of blackmailing but she's also batshit crazy.

I guess she's really been muzzled for good.

r36 well fuck, both were stupid then. Weinstein was a ticket to millions. J-Law living in her gorgeous NYC penthouse is not crying about fucking W. It put millions in the bank so she can retire or work as she pleases. As a gay man, i would have fucked Harvey for access.

I think she'd do well if she discontinued imbibing her gin, got her body back, and got herself a decent therapist.

He's still pretty hot physically, but the family drama, Alice's craziness and the new sidepiece being so much younger makes for a very messy scene.
