You're right, ilovepretzels. I Googled the photographer, and those are the glasses he's wearing. Mystery solved. But at least those who care have one more celebrity glasses picture in their collections!

Julian I seem to recall that Daniel played a boy scout in an episode of the TV series Extras
BillyE 22 Aug 2010, 02:56
I was thinking the same as Julian. I'm not much good at telling RX etc, but I also remember reading that he was supposed to wear glasses, so maybe he's beginning to do so. I guess that now larger plastic frames are in he might also feel more confident about wearing them without being compared to his infamous alter ego.
Julian 22 Aug 2010, 02:37
Extract from an interview with Daniel Radcliffe:
Do you wear glasses when you're not playing Harry Potter?
I'm supposed to but I always lose them or a lens falls out or something. So after we went through three pairs, we stopped buying them. I even managed to break my Harry Potter glasses at one stage. But there were a lot of pairs, a whole row of them in the prop department.
Maybe his eyesight is catching up with him. I have a photo of him in Boy Scout uniform, wearing round wire glasses, not quite Harry Potter but not all that different. I can't find any reference to him dressing like that in any film, and I wonder if those were his own glasses a few years ago.
I don't like those frames in 'OUT' but they're not quite as bad as the ones Elijah Wood wears when he takes his contacts out!

Paul Rudd article from New York Magazine.
If Only... 31 Jul 2010, 08:26
The picture of Paul Rudd on that website was from a movie he did. Even though he wears glasses, his prescription isn't as strong as the ones he wore in the movie, so I believe he must have done GOC while filming. Check out some pictures of him on Google and you'll see his prescription is really around -2 or -3 at best. Either way, he still looks hot in them.

Simon Baker, star of "The Mentalist," spoke at The Grammy Awards, and he was wearing black, heavy-rimmed glasses. It was the first time I had seen him as himself, and the first time wearing glasses. There are Web sites about the show with lots of pictures of the cast, however, and he wears the same glasses in many of the photos, but it's hard to tell about a prescription.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson, who is on the ABC show Modern Family, wears significant minus glasses (at least -6 I'm guessing). I can't find a photo, but he wears them in this episode:
http://abc.go.com/watch/modern-family/235331/238173/the-incident#sl-0
He wears his specs at the very end of the episode around 21:22.

Myopic Grant 17 Nov 2009, 09:20
Yeah, I wish they would have been brave enough to let Jake be seen with his glasses in front of his eyes. It would have been a more powerful statement since he's an advocate for donating glasses to the needy and to say "hey, I wear glasses and there is nothing wrong with it." Maybe they thought wearing his strong glasses with significant cut-in would make him less recognizable. I'd say he's between -8 and -10. I always knew his prescription would be high since his father's glasses were strong...
Julian 17 Nov 2009, 02:46
Nice to see Jake Gyllenhaal with his glasses for once, even if they aren't in front of his eyes.
Another favourite myopic actor of mine is Elijah Wood - but his taste in frames is terrible! Every pair you see him in looks what it is, a contact wearer's standby for occasional use.

The actor played the poor guy being forced to be the terrorist. Some of you may know more about the show 24 than I do. We got some good shots of his glasses, cut-in, and power rings. Some profile shots, showed the thickness of his lenses. Needless to say, I was in heaven watching real glasses on an actor.

David

...a collection of false information??? Give us a break...
Scriptfinder 08 Jul 2008, 07:40
Here's a challenge:
There is a hot actor who wears prisms -- he puts his glasses on as soon as he's off camera. Guess who it is. Whoever guesses, I'll give a link to my collection.
07 Jul 2008, 15:38
Do any of these actors have axis in their prescriptions? Or pupilary distance?
Scriptfinder 07 Jul 2008, 15:21
Believe what you will. I enjoy working on my collection of celebrities' eyewear prescriptions. You'd actually be surprised how easy it was to obtain many of these. Of course others, I had to ask many times and go in through the "back door."
For the most part however, all I had to do is ask, either by letter, email or phone call.

Scriptfaker 03 Jul 2008, 17:43
And, of course, his own time. (Though I suppose the outside world would consider any discussions about actors' glasses prescriptions a pretty strange pastime.)
Scriptfaker 03 Jul 2008, 17:41
I reckon he has a plano or small minus base with -1 or -2 cyl. Either way, someone is wasting our time.
Julian 03 Jul 2008, 05:37
And I think Ryan Phillipe is plus with cylinder, not minus.
Scriptfaker 03 Jul 2008, 01:11
I asked about Ryan Phillipe because I have a pretty good idea of his Rx, and you are way out.
Scriptfinder 02 Jul 2008, 14:48

Sorry, but those glasses of Rodrigo's are about as plano as Ryan Phillippe's - or mine!

Rodrigo Santoro? The glasses he wore in 'Love Actually' had a definite Rx, possibly plus/cylinder.

russell 24 Jun 2008, 10:10
I'm feeling like a lot of you...scriptfinder is pulling our legs. Unless this guy is a Hollywood insider (or a Hollywood optician,) it is not likely that these prescriptions are anything more than speculation. Agents don't just hand out personal information willy-nilly--especially if it is something that is so personal that it rarely becomes general knowledge to even our closest associates. I mean, consider this: no one I know has any idea what my prescription is (and they've never asked,) much less someone I've hired to promote me (if that were the case.) I can hear the conversation now between Agent and Perry: "Now, Matt, I'm going to need to know your glasses prescription because the public is clamoring to know, and if they don't know, then you probably won't get hired any more for your acting." "Oh, that makes sense, Agent. Here it is."
Julian 24 Jun 2008, 02:01
...or somewhere.
Database 23 Jun 2008, 20:07
Wouldn't it be wonderful if Scriptfinder uploaded his database to one of the Guys in Glasses groups?
Questionable 23 Jun 2008, 16:53
Why would someone's agent have their prescription, let alone give it out to the public.
23 Jun 2008, 15:48
I find if very hard to believe that Matthew Perry's agent would know his prescription, let alone give it out. Why doesn't he just give out his medication list to strangers while he's at it? I've seen close up pictures of Matthew in glasses, and he's more like -1.75.
Scriptfinder 23 Jun 2008, 15:32
Oh Please,
I got Matthew Perry's presription from his agent -- he also has astigmatism, he said.
Carmine Giovinazzo -3.75 -4.25
Michael J. Fox -2.75 both eyes
Oh please 21 Jun 2008, 09:02
Some of Scriptfinder's guesses are good, but the Perry one really gives him away - that is nothing like a -3.5 Rx. And the Downey one is way out, too: the guy sometimes wears glasses but with hardly any Rx in them.
20 Jun 2008, 05:58
Carmine Giovinazzo ???
hal 19 Jun 2008, 23:12
How about Matthew Gray Gubler?
Scriptfinder 19 Jun 2008, 15:34
Matthew Perry is nearsighted. See this photo, plus his agent supplied me with this minus prescription.
Guest 19 Jun 2008, 13:51
I thought Matthew Perry was far sighted. I've seen plenty of pics where it definitely looks like a plus lens.

I watched the latest episode of NCIS last night. The doctor's assistant, a character named Palmer, has always worn glasses. He is a fairly young man--I would think well under thirty. I always thought the glasses were just plano to establish his nerdy character. In last night's episode, Palmer was featured far more than he has ever been. In fact, the entire story revolved around him. So there were lots of closeups of his face. The glasses are lined bifocals!! I couldn't believe it. It would be interesting to hear what led to his prescription, since there seems to be so little correction for distance.
Julian 20 Mar 2008, 10:39
-6 at least! Gosh, he's hot in those specs.
Myopic Grant 20 Mar 2008, 08:34
Wow, Wentworth looks HOT in those glasses! I would say we definitely have a -6 on our hands judging by the cut in.

Wayne 14 Mar 2008, 21:01
There is significant cut-in showing in the picture of Justin Bartha. Trying to estimate Rx from the cut-in can be complicated. Cut-in is a combination of the strength of the Rx, the size of the frames and of the face, the angle at which the head is turned and the distance of the lenses from the eyes.
I can make pretty good estimates if the lenses are mostly minus -- without a lot of cylinder or especially prism. In the case of Bartha, I'd estimate at least -5 or -6, possibly more.
I base this on the amount of visible cut-in with the head only slightly turned (and frames that aren't excessive large or small) combined with the apparent minification of his eyes in proportion to his face and the minification of objects behind him as seen through his left lens.
Note how tiny and moved over the white pillar looks as seen through his left lens. Also the top of his ear as seen through the lens is so small you can't really see it. The angle of the pillar through the lens makes me suspect some cylinder for astigmatism.
Technical details aside, he looks really sexy in those glasses. I'd love to have him take them off and then lean close to see see me with his big, bare brown eyes.
All4Eyes 25 Jan 2008, 15:09
This isn't really about an actor so much as some interesting conversation I heard on an episode of "A Different World" (sitcom from the 80's or 90's I guess, in reruns. I've never watched it before, but this got my attention). This girl Whitney had a hot dream about this guy Dwayne, who wears round metal glasses with sunglass clip-ons (as with most glasses on TV characters, I couldn't discern much, if any, rx). She was talking about it to her friend, who collapsed into laughter and said "I just want to know one thing: Did he have his glasses on? Did they get steamed up?" (yes, technically that's 2 things, but anyway...). She said it laughing, like what a joke it was that Whitney found this four-eyed guy hot, but for someone like Us (like me), mmmm, what a great picture! Then later Whitney is describing her dream to someone else, but tries to avoid naming names: "My companion and I wear floating along a stream in a canoe, when suddenly the stream turned into a raging river! The boat started rocking so hard that Dwayne's glasses, uh, I mean my companion's glasses, flew off!" Then she went on about how they were "tossing back and forth and back and forth... And I've never "canoed" before, but despite my inexperience, I found myself "paddling" with passion and gusto, over and over and over...!" Yeah, I know the feeling, Whit. Anyway, I though that was cool.
I ALWAYS make passes at (and occasionally dream about) guys who wear glasses, Marie
Sydneycider 02 Jan 2008, 15:20
It was nice 2 see a bespectacled Wentworth Miller in the film Underworld. He's only in a few scenes but atleast the director let him wear his own rx, nice frames too
24 Dec 2007, 11:24
Does cut in mean around -3 or higher
russell 24 Dec 2007, 10:25

Jon 12 Nov 2007, 08:52
Having read a preview of 'My Boy Jack', Julian, I watched it last night too.
I suppose it was inevitable that it had both Jack (Daniel Radcliffe) and his father Rudyard depicted wearing plano lenses, despite both of them being notoriously nearsighted.
There were however, some interesting dialogue and scenes where Jack's eyesight and glasses were the primary theme. It's not too often that is the situation on television or the movies.
It's a pity the drama didn't go into the heartache that his, and indeed many families through many conflicts have felt through not knowing his resting place. Apparently this was not discovered until 1992. Even then it was argued by certain historians that it was the burial place of another lieutenant from Kiplings' regiment who went 'missing' two days before Jack.
Julian 12 Nov 2007, 08:13
After 'Learners' I switched channels and watched part of 'My boy Jack' about Rudyard Kipling's son who was killed at the battle of Loos in 1915. Apparently the lad was so short-sighted that he was turned down by both the army and the navy and only allowed to enlist because his father used his influence. He is played by the lovely Daniel Radcliffe, who at 18 is just the same age as Jack when he died. With a certain inevitability, the glasses he wears are plano (gold ovals).
Odd how many times Daniel gets parts that require him to wear glasses...there's a shot of him among the Google images in Scout uniform and round glasses, not unlike the Harry Potter ones but not identical.
Julian 12 Nov 2007, 02:16
Well, I watched 'Learners' last night and I could well believe David Tennant was wearing his own glasses; there was definitely a significant minus Rx there.
Eclipse 06 Nov 2007, 14:37
For people in the UK, there is an article in this week's Radio Times about the upcoming drama Learners starring David Tennant. It has the following paragraph in it:
"So has it been a jolt for Tennant, adjusting from mighty Time Lord to mild-mannered man in glasses? "Actually, I wear specs in real life," he says cheerily, arranging his limbs into unfeasibly bendy configurations on the driving school couch. "Minus five, my prescription is. Can't see a thing without my glasses."
Looking at some pictures on his website http://www.david-tennant.com/temp/id19.html the glasses look like they have his real -5 prescription in them.

russell 19 Aug 2007, 08:23
I just watched The Good Shepherd, and I would say that DeNiro is as meticulous in his directing as in his acting. He apparently realized how fake "window pane" glasses look in most films and decided to go for the gritty, realistic look that the rest of the movie has in abundance. Plano glasses would not have aged the character as well as the thicker lenses did.
lazysiow 13 Aug 2007, 09:08

i just finished watching "the good shepherd" on dvd. it is remarkable that matt damon is wearing real prescription glasses throughout the movie. very intersting is that his rx changes over the years, which you can see when you compare his first to his last glasses. good thinking of robert de niro, who directed the movie.

""The glasses," says David, "were one of thos things that just kind of arose. As we put together the look, it was becoming this sort of geek-chic thing, it seemed to make sense to add a pair of specs to that. There was one point where I was thinking about having them on all the time, but that got a bit of resistance from some people, and maybe they were right; I don't know. I quite like the idea of there being a speccy hero, I mean it certainly hasn't done Harry Potter any harm. And maybe because I grew up "speccy four eyes" in school, I would have quite liked to have had support from the Doctor on that. It just seemed right.""

Matt looks hot in those glasses; unfortunately, they don't have a prescription of any (serious)sort. Total cop out and typical of people who want the cool look of glasses without admitting that they actually need them. Matt's supposed to have a prescription of around -4/-5 and a prescription of that heft would be instantly visible.

There are some pics of him in the film here:
http://www.canmag.com/news/4/3/6195
"As the director, DeNiro carried that detail with his filmmaking also. “There were the things with the glasses, those glasses had a real prescription, so I'd wear a negative prescription contact lens and then put the glasses over because Bob, again, it's all details with Bob. He wanted, if it was an over the shoulder shot and you were catching just a piece of the glasses to see that. It's like the incremental effect, it's like the aggregate effect of all those things added up makes you go, 'Okay, I believe what I'm watching.'”"

James, darling, you can wear them as much as you like (or NEED to) when you're with me.
When they're dirty, I'll polish the lenses for you... Just close your dear little myopic eyes and I'll lift themm from your face and you can keep them closed until I replace them.
No myopic mist for you darling, not when I'm around.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, thank God for myopic men. My world would be so empty without them.
Just a message to you myopic guys...bless your hearts for everything you've done for me. There is nothing more handsome than your eyes behind those lenses. I am truly blessed to have been "given" this obsession. I wouldn't trade it for all the tea in China...I wouldn't have had as interesting a life without it.

Cleo 30 Jan 2007, 15:14
I found this article:
Short-sighted actor JAMES SPADER spends his days in a blur - because the writers on hit legal drama THE PRACTICE don't like his character wearing glasses.
The SECRETARY star wore his spectacles when he made his debut as ALAN SHORE in The Practice earlier this year (03), but producers hated his look.
Spader says, "In the first episode I wore glasses and I thought, 'Great, I'm going to be able to see,' because my eyes don't tolerate contact lenses.
"If I can get a character to wear glasses, I like it. I said, 'Wouldn't it be great if he wore glasses, because it would be nice if I could actually see during the course of the filming.'
"I thought it was fine but they said, 'No with the glasses,' so now all day everything's a complete blur. At the end of the day I have a headache.
"Then I'll put on the glasses in between the set ups, so, if you look very closely at my scenes in close up, there'll be two marks (on my nose)."
Jennifer 30 Jan 2007, 11:09
Loved the interview with James! Wow he's comfortable talking about his glasses and looks good in them!
VFL 30 Jan 2007, 10:08
James'prescription? I'm terrible at that sort of thing. Okay, let's reason this out. He said that everything is a total blur without them, he gets headachey by the end of the day. Also, he puts them on between takes as soon as they say "cut."
The glasses don't seem to magnify his eyes, so I'd say they're a minus prescription. "Total" blur says to me he has some astigmatism, probably a lot.
Drum roll, please...
At least a minus five in both eyes with maybe 1-2 diopters of astigmatism. Probably no add yet.
What's your guess?

Be still my tender, quivering heart, Cali Girl! It nearly leapt from my chest when James Spader started talking about his glasses.
If I'd been doing that interview instead of Star, he would have handed them over and been begging me to try them on and confirm their strength to the masses.
James is a cutie sans specs, but with, the dear, dear chap should be sold with oven mitts he is so hot!
He's so obviously an un-shy, full-time wearer. You can tell from the way he handles his specs. He pulls them off, shoves them on with such a deft hand. Well-practiced. Plastic horn rims are so good and sturdy. Great form...if this were the Olympics and I were a judge, I'd be holding up a card with 10.0. A PERFECT SCORE!

i wish there were more, but pictures of him are so hard to come by. too bad.
VFL 04 Jan 2007, 06:43
Oh, and in answer to your question: Yes, I believe they were Mark's own prescription. Definitely. Cute, cute, cute. The only thing that would have made that movie better was if he'd have laid them aside for a moment, then had to reach for them to see something in the distance. No, scratch that...how about a scene where he was waking up and reached for them to check out the clock?
Damn those Lasik ads for always chirping about how great it is to see the clock first thing in the morning without specs or contacts. Having your partner reach for the glasses like that especially if they are confirmed contact wearers is bliss. Bliss, bliss, bliss. Extra points if they put the glasses on to go to the potty in the middle of the night.

Oh, I noticed Mark all right. He's exactly the kind of man I spent my entire single life drooling over. Bless the casting people for letting him wear those tortoisey-wire rims full time throughout the film.

I must say that when Jude Law appeared on screen in "The Holiday" I was so excited, he looked so deliciously hot! I cannot wait until that movie comes out on dvd.
Has anybody noticed actor Mark Feuerstein in "In Her Shoes"? I'm pretty sure the glasses he wears througout the movie are his own. Not only is it a great movie the added bonus is seeing him wearing glasses.

Jude Law appears in horn rims in one photo at http://spectacle.provocateuse.com/show/jude_law.
Alaso, we had a debate two years ago or so on this thread about 'Closer', where he appears to take out contacts and put on rimless glasses - which, we all agreed, looked plano. But what is it about Jude and glasses?
VFL 17 Dec 2006, 13:58
Yes, Doreen...the lenses looked like planos to me as well, but I loved how he just sort of emptied out his pockets, got out his glasses and slipped them on with no more explanation than, "I seem to have lost track of my contacts sometime during the night."
Cameron Diaz's character didn't skip a beat. I would have blushed, looked away, then jumped into his arms and ordered him to carry me back up the steps into the bedroom for another "go."
If he was cute before...with those horn rims...meow!
Doreen 16 Dec 2006, 09:12
I haven't found anything on this mentioned here, maybe I overlooked it, but Jude Law is wearing glasses in one scene of "The Holiday." The movie just started in my country and I was really surprised, when I saw him in glasses, although it's only for a rather short time and again in an even shorter sequence, but something worth watching. However, the lenses seemed like planos to me.

Yesterday's Houston Chronicle had a story about the popularity of horn-rimmed glasses on TV and in movies, citing Horn-Rimmed Glasses Man on Heroes and Matt Damon's character in his new film. They mentioned that Matthew Gray Gubler wears his own glasses on Criminal Minds because he has problems with contacts in California weather.

Does anyone remember Shemp Howard, another Howard brother who replaced Curly when he died. (on The three Stooges)?
Well Shemp also acted solo in movies in the 40's and 50's. He used to put on very thick Rx glasses and would bumble around as an extremly nearsighted man who would bump into things and talk to statues. He would bump into people and then tell them to watch they are going. Sometimes he would play a doctor who is about to operate on someone.
The guy was a riot.

Now that I've been looking for it I think I've spotted the changing eye colour but it's not that noticable.
I had never noticed though that there were glasses on DiNozzo's desk in some scenes. LOL and I thought I was such an NCIS anorak!
NCIS is being shown again on FX channel though from the first episode so I can watch out for these things. The 4th season has started over in the States, but we don't get it in the UK till next year.
It's always good to watch the lovely Michael Weatherly even though I've seen most of the episodes at least twice!

Doreen 18 Sep 2006, 08:01
Drak Eyes: I haven't really noticed different eye colours, although sometimes they seem a bit more green than brown, but hardly noticeable if you don't pay really close attention to it.
I also noticed DiNozzo in glasses in the early episodes. Sometimes you can see a pair of glasses lying on his desk which is probably when Michael is bare-eyed and puts on his glasses during the breaks. They could have made DiNozzo a contacts wearer who wears glasses from time to time like when he works a long shift or when they stay abroad for some time. That would be great for us ;-)
I totally agree with you. TV people really have prejudices concerning what kind of person should appear in glasses. It would be more realistic if more people appeared wearing glasses or contact lenses (and glasses in the evenings) because there are so many out there in the real world.
Dark Eyes 17 Sep 2006, 12:23
Thanks Doreen, I missed the beginning of that one and missed the repeat a few weeks ago, typical! I’ll have to wait for it to come round again. I read on one of the fan sites where they were discussing his eye colour that it keeps changing because he wears different colour contacts, although I can’t say I’ve noticed that, they always seem a lovely hazel to me.
They did have DiNozzo in glasses for a brief time in one of the early episodes, but they were not a pair that suited him and they must have decided it wasn’t right for the character, who relies on his looks to flirt with women, but with the right glasses and Michael has some very nice ones, I think it would work. Works for me anyway!
It’s a shame the TV people always seem to think that only doctors or computer nerds or something wear glasses, not hot, young, playful skirt chasers, like DiNozzo, as though they would be less attractive with glasses.

Also: I saw (again) The Best Man last night. Taye Diggs in glasses is one beautiful man!! And the glasses appeared to me to be strong enough that I can't figure out how he did without them. I suppose that Taye (the actor) had contacts; the character, however, would have been pretty blind when he was without the glasses, I would think.

Dark Eyes: I think this episode I mentioned was part of the 2nd Season. I just looked up the title, it was called "An Eye for An Eye." In my country it takes much longer till I get to see the new episodes since they have to translate them first - not that I would need that, but I can't do anything about it. They just started showing the 3rd Season a couple of weeks ago. You're right it would be really nice if the character wore started wearing glasses for some reason.

I am very very attracted to the athletic, clean cute, afraid to admitt glasses/ (myopic or h or pres... any glasses I do not care! The more insecure with frrames the better)
However, a new actor with some normal spex I have dreammt about is Chris Pine; I was wondering if anyone knew about Chris Pine's exact eyesite? Thanks sorry so unclear and un knowledgeable !!! ( I love near/far sitedness- infact I wish I needed glasses enough that my mom would notice!)
Dark Eyes 08 Sep 2006, 18:19
Doreen, do you remember which episode that was, when you saw Michael Weatherly wearing contacts? I must have missed it, I’ve never managed to spot them.
Yes, I agree the “camera glasses” were definitely prescription, and wow, did he look good in them, they also appeared to be hi index like the link I posted. I also thought the palm tree in that picture looked very small, Wayne, but I was confused by the lack of rings, as I didn’t realise hi index could work so effectively.
Michael also seems to wear prescription sunglasses at every possible opportunity, and leave them on until the last second before it would look strange him wearing them indoors.
Another thing is that I’m convinced every time he has to look at the computer or on the wall mounted TV, he is squinting. Except I think that if he is saying lines then he knows what is supposed to be on the screen, so technically he would not actually need to see what was on it. In one scene Ziva draws his attention to something she is looking at on the computer, and he leans over her shoulder, squints and then gets closer and closer to the screen, squinting more until his face is right next to hers, before finally commenting on whatever it was she was showing him. I know they do adlib occasionally on the show, so unless that part wasn’t scripted or something, it just intrigues me when he does it. It’s even more strange because his character is supposed to have perfect eyesight, unless they think nobody would notice.
How I wish they would find an excuse to put his character in glasses, he is hot anyway, but with the glasses, he is incredibly hot.
VFL 08 Sep 2006, 10:34
There was a show about a totally blind cop a couple of years ago and I remember they did a close up of the guy's eyes and you could clearly see RGP lenses.
Where was the continuity guy?
Doreen 08 Sep 2006, 07:32
I've seen an episode of Navy CIS, in which Michael Weatherly is one of the leading actors, recently and at the very beginning there was a close-up of his eyes and I could clearly see that he wore contact lenses. There have been some episodes in which he wore "camera glasses" (like the ones Tom Cruise wore in Mission Impossible 1) and they were definitely prescription glasses. So I guess he wears contacts sometimes and sometimes he acts bare-eyed. The funny thing is that his character often makes jokes about his boss's bad vision.

Michael Landon jr. in glasses
DNBursky 06 Sep 2006, 18:26
Years ago Michael Weatherly was on a soap called "Loving". I remember when he wore glasses as the character and as himself. I think they did an interview where they asked what he had in common with his character and it was his round metal glasses. This was 1992. I actually met him and his wife back then at some convention when they were signing autographs. He's now in his mid to late 30's, she's 33. They had a child and divorced around 1994. Maybe this sounds nuts, but I have noticed his wearing glasses for years. On the show with Jessica Alba, he had these small glasses. On Loving, it was great as they were cool glasses for the time.
With regard to Jensen Ackles, isn't that a photo from a tv show/movie? How do we know they are real lenses? Years ago when he too was on a daytime soap opera, there were photos of him in glasses. This was 1999-2000. I couldn't tell if he was near or farsighted.
Also, I was watching this show last night on the Sci-fi channel called Eureka, and saw this character with thick -5 I guess or more lenses. I emailed him on "MySpace" as I found him there. He says he has a strong prescription. The character's name is Fargo and it's listed in http://www.imdb.com I forget his name.
Oh, lastly, somehow I found Corky Pigeon. I emailed him too and at first was just friendly. I finally got around to asking if he still wore glasses/contacts. He said he gradually didn't need them anymore. He said he had lazy eyes when on "Silver Spoons" and astigmatism. I don't know if he just doesn't want to admit he wears contacts.

Michael Weatherly has some great frames. I wonder how many different pairs he has?
rob 02 Sep 2006, 03:06
Yup, Michael is pretty nearsighted, at least -4; certainly couldn't read a book without holding it close and I bet he's a major-league squinter!
Wayne 01 Sep 2006, 22:28
Judging by the minification, I'd say -5 is much closer that -2 for Michael Weatherly. With hi-index lenses and possibly glare free coating you wouldn't necessarily see rings. Note how small the palm tree looks through the lens in one picture. The stronger the lens, the smaller things will look through it --rings or not.
Dark Eyes 31 Aug 2006, 15:51
Yes that picture of Jensen Ackles is from an episode of Dark Angel, The Beresford Agenda, but very nice. I had no idea he actually wore glasses but although they are hard to find there are a few glimpses.
I think it may have been wishful thinking to say Michael Weatherly was -5, but I still think he is more than -2. I will attempt to post some links, but I have never done this before, my earlier post was the first one anywhere, so please excuse any mistakes.
http://www.michaelweatherlyfans.com/mc/thumbnails.php?album=168
The first two pictures are from July 2006 and the lenses of these glasses do not show rings, but objects behind him seem quite minified. I wonder if they are some kind of high index.
The third link I could not do to an individual picture, but there several pictures of him from different angles, the lenses of these glasses do show rings. And as this is a fan site, there are loads of other pictures of him if anyone cares to look. (If you are as much of an anorak as me)! I have never seen anyone wear so many different glasses.
Also many pictures of him without glasses, seems to me mostly squinting or looking likes he’s trying not to, something he seems to spend most of the time on the T.V. doing too. Or is that my wishful thinking again…..

Hi Guys
Two people who I don't think have been mentioned or at least only briefly a long time back.
First, the most beautiful Michael Weatherly, can currently be seen in NCIS, sadly does not wear glasses in this show but does in real life, and used to wear them in Dark Angel. A search will reveal many lovely pictures of him, IMHO I estimate about -5 going on my own 'scrip.
Second, Carmine Giovinazzo on CSI New York, wears glasses in the show and also in real life, but many pictures show him without, which is a shame, also I guestimate about -5.
Anyway, just thought you guys and girls may want to check them out. Look forward to any speculations on their prescriptions, I'm interested to know what you all might think.
This is such a great site, it's so good to know there are other people out there who like glasses.
Agnes from Switzerland 15 Aug 2006, 00:28
Not very strong indeed, but clearly minus, maybe -2. That's something, since we were looking for a proof...

The best place to see old footage of Michael Landon is when A&E runs his biography story again, or maybe you can rent it from a library. I know that's one place to see him in glasses. I would say his son's prescription is the same as his, from the few times I've seen him in glasses.
Little Rascal 12 Aug 2006, 07:56
Are there any pictures of Michael Landon wearing glasses?
And what do you think, how strong are Michael jr.'s glasses?
11 Aug 2006, 21:56
The glasses that Michael Landon wore back in the late 70's, early 80's looked fairly strong. They were those large ones all the men were wearing back then, frameless on the bottom and sides, tinted lenses and I would say he was a -4 or -5. Larry Hagman also wears those types of frames. He's probably a -6 looking at recent interviews of him on Entertainment Tonight. The good old days before high index...

It seems that tries to whip them off before he's on camera, but sometimes he forgets. He obviously sees so much better with them on that he forgets to whip 'em off. Probably kind of bifocal-ly too, since he's 53.

Does anyone have a picture of Chris Pine in his glasses?
HH 19 Jun 2006, 20:24
Interview with the very sexy Chris Pine (Just my Luck; Princess Diaries 2) about why his character wore glasses in one scene in the Princess Diaries and how he had to learn to act with out seeing:
http://movies.about.com/library/weekly/aapd2cb080804b.htm
From another site: http://www.manilatimes.net/national/2004/aug/24/yehey/enter/20040824ent2.html
“Chris and I have had so much fun on this film,” says Anne Hathaway. “We’ve had some amazing scenes together in which I’m brimming over with passion for my fellow actor, making what I thought was great eye contact with him from across the room, my heart’s fluttering, then at the end of the take, I’d say ‘Wasn’t that good?!’ And he hadn’t seen me the entire time—he’s blind as a bat!”
“Chris Pine is a wonderful actor, but he doesn’t see very well,” adds director Gary Marshall. “Chris wears glasses, and when he takes the glasses off he’s very dashing, but he can’t see where everything is. So I did one scene where his character wears glasses, and Chris was so happy in this scene because he could see everybody and he knew what was going on!”
Another site - an interview where Chris Pine talks about his bad eyesight and why he won't get laser surgery: http://www.teenhollywood.com/d.asp?r=75760&cat=1038&testcookie=1&comments=1&p=2

I have seen postings that talked about Cruise needing glasses for presbyopia.
DWV 13 Jun 2006, 23:53
Martin Ferrero, who played Izzy Moreno on Miami Vice (the TV series, not the upcoming movie), wears impressively thick minus glasses for that role. Presumably his own, since he wouldn't see too well through those (-10s?) without doing GOC.
I don't recally any comparable GWGs in the series; in some alternate universe, Helena Bonham Carter would have worn big '80s frames with high minus when she guest-starred on the show.

does Tom cruise now need glasses? i heard somewhere he is shortsighted. is it true??

You all must go to this site and check out the screencaps of actor Ron Eldard in the role of Pete in the movie The Last Supper. He wears the cutest plano glasses throughout the movie...but with consistency. Well worth a look.
29 May 2006, 11:45
Those aren't Paul's glasses; they're the ones that John used to wear in the studio back in the old days. He probably was just putting them on being silly, and someone took a photo of him. They WERE strong, so that's why he was wearing them on the tip of his nose. The picture below that one just show Paul wearing a pair of lightly tinted sunglasses.
Jim 26 May 2006, 19:43
Go to this website to see Paul McCartney in high minus glasses. www.eyeglasseswarehouse.com. We must have started wearing contacts years ago when they were so uncomfortable.

King Kong was filmed in New Zealand where I live and the day after the Premier I was in a Maori Art shop with a friend and we started chatting with a charming American with fabulous glasses who just happened to be Colin Hanks. It was a very pleasant 5 minute encounter. A lovely man, he was very positive about his experience in New Zealand
Mimi 26 Apr 2006, 12:42
Julian,
The rimless glasses he was wearing were from the movie King Kong. I don't know if you have seen the movie or not, but he wears the glasses through the entire movie. It was a nice little treat.
Julian 26 Apr 2006, 00:45
I'm with you there, Mimi. I like Colin Hanks; he seems to wear his glasses with pride (hadn't seen the rimless pair before). Those 'ViewImages' URLs had to be cut and pasted - clicking on them just brought up a window with the URL in it ::) But thanks!

Sorry for the weird site. I've couldn't find a photo on an easier website.
I finally know how the site works a bit :), if you want to see the prison break guy go to the site and:
http://wentworthmilleronline.com/gallery/
if you go to the site and you log in (fake email is ok) you should go to movies, and then to 'Underworld'
He wears them in that movie.
and as well, if you go to TVshows and than 'Popular', he wears glasses in some photos. Only these are plano i think. Looks good though.
Julian 13 Apr 2006, 23:08
Well, we certainly aren't being fobbed off with planos there, and he equally certainly squints in a lot of the other shots. But I don't understand how that site works; looking for the spexy pic is a bit like buying a lottery ticket. I found it at 593 just now, but when I went back 593 was something different.

Don't know of any numbers, but USA Weekend magazine had a description of him as a kid 'singing Bruce Springsteen tunes and reciting lines from movies such as "Dune" and "Willow" scene for scene while cracking up in his Coke-bottle glasses.'
Later, 'He has diamond-studded shades (he ditched the glasses for contact lenses in junior high) and an infectious laugh that makes you nostalgic for MTV's Beavis.'

lazysiow 08 Apr 2006, 13:43
Bah there was hardly any math in that movie. He wears them for like 3 seconds when he bumps into Gwyneth Paltrow just to establish that he was once a math geek. They were plano. Not even worth the rent
Russell 08 Apr 2006, 12:45
I am surprised--and maybe I missed it--that no one here mentioned Jake Gyllenhaal in glasses in the film Proof. He plays a math geek who wears glasses in one scene early in the film.

Matthew Perry discusses his glasses in an encounter with a fan. He hints that he is both myopic and astigmatic:
That's right, I met Matthew Perry. He said my name three times. I'm sorry, what? You didn't catch that?
Matthew Perry said my name THREE TIMES.
Pam and her man took me out to a burlesque show for the birthday of one of their friends, and we weren't there ten minutes when Matthew (I just call him Matthew) walked in. Also in attendance: Julie Benz of Buffy, Angel, and Roswell (I didn't know about that one, but Djb filled me in, and if you think Pam is cool, wait until you meet him) fame, who was very nice when I gushed all over her about how much I loved Darla; Hank Azaria, who was the recipient of a patented Chandler Bing triple-take when the pretty lady was shaking her ass on stage; and the parking lot guy from Ferris Bueller. Quite the Hollywood random sampling, no?
Anyway, so let's talk about my boyfriend. I had been trying to sidle up to him when Pam saw he was going to smoke, and pushed me out the door, "Go smoke! Go talk to him! Go!" Who was I to argue with Miss L.A. 2002? I went.
I didn't talk to him immediately, but we moved close enough to his ass to be within hearing distance of his conversation, and check this shit out: When I commented to Pam that I wanted to buy the strippers new tights, guess who laughed at my joke?
Matthew Perry.
About thirteen cigarettes and six drinks later, I saw my opportunity to strike. Here is what I said:
AB: So, I've been stalking you all night and I just thought you might like to know.
Matthew: Really? Well, it is good to know. Nice to meet you.
AB: Nice to meet you. I'm Anna Beth.
Matthew: Anna Belle?
AB: No, Anna Beth.
Matthew: Ah, Anna Beth. (there's one.) This is my [agent, lawyer, somebody. I don't care.].
AB: [to guy] Nice to meet you! I like your glasses.
Matthew: We all have glasses. They're good for seeing. Are you nearsighted, Anna Beth? (Two.)
AB: Yes, I am!
Matthew: Astigmatism?
AB: Nope.
Matthew: D'oh! Well, it was nice to meet you, Anna Beth. (And, three.) Enjoy your trip to L.A.!
Would I lie to y'all? Right about now Allison is shaking her fists at the sky because she was supposed to come on this trip and couldn't. Hey, Al? Remember that time you went to L.A. and saw Daisy Fuentes in a wig shop? I win!
This is getting really long, so I'm going to have to ask you to click "next" to read Part II. Well, go on!

Hollie 04 Dec 2005, 14:27
I used to wear glasses for far-sightedness for a couple of years from the ages of about 9 to 11, and now I'm short-sighted!
Furtive 04 Dec 2005, 12:34
Yes, I think it's possible for a hyperopic child to eventually "outgrow" the condition and end up myopic. But it is also possible for the child to outgrow their need for glasses but remain hyperopic, in which case they end up needing glasses again at some point as adults.
I knew a couple of kids who wore thick plus glasses as little kids but then were told they didn't need glasses anymore - or needed them only for reading - when they were 13 or so. I think there's some threshold of hyperopia for which glasses are usually prescribed for young children in order to prevent strabismus, or amblyopia if the eyes are very different, but when the kids are older these aren't really risks anymore, so if the kid has decent acuity then glasses aren't needed at that point.
Wayne 04 Dec 2005, 10:27
I believe that I've heard that hyperopia in a young child can decrease over time to where they need weaker glasses or even no glasses.
It would make sense as it would be the same as the progression of myopia -- the eyeball grows (or stretches?) longer. For myopes their eyesight gets worse, but hyperopes eyesight would get better.
I suppose that would mean one could start out hyperopic as a young child and end up myopic as one gets older.
Julian 25 Nov 2005, 10:14
Interesting, this business of kids who cease to be hyperopic. Do they just have a longer way to go on the slippery slope to myopia? Any experts comment? (I know it's off topic for this thread, but it follows on logically, to me anyhow.)
Femke 25 Nov 2005, 08:21
thanks for the reactions..
about the farsighted children who outgrow the need for glasses, hmm.. could be, but i could've sweared i saw a prescription!
how about josh hartnett, i saw him in some pics with glasses... don't think they are, but they look plano to me..
does he wear contact lenses? or only glasses sometimes...

Seeker 24 Nov 2005, 19:52
The glasses worn by Elijah Wodd in the trailer for Everything is illuminated are pretty awesome. I know this has been mentioned before and how he had to have suitable contacts for his normal shortsightedness and to compensate for the glasses. Must have been tricky at times.
Furtive 24 Nov 2005, 19:18
I've seen some shows about the making of the Harry Potter movies and in them the actor has stated that there are multiple pairs of glasses - some have no lenses at all in fact - and that it depends on what sort of reflection they want to get, or whether they want no reflection at all.
There are a number of magazine articles and such in which Radcliffe has been asked whether he wears glasses in real life. In the oldest ones he stated that he had glasses that he rarely wore - and the stories that came out when he was first chosen for the role often reported that he wore glasses, just like his character. In one case he said that he was supposed to wear glasses for reading, but didn't usually wear them. However, when he's been asked about this more recently (during the time of the release of the last two movies) he has stated that he used to wear glasses but doesn't need them anymore. This sounds as though he might be one of those farsighted children who outgrows the need for glasses (at least temporarily) as he ages.
Lazysiow 24 Nov 2005, 16:26
yup they are actually kinda low plus in some scenes. Im glad im not the only one that thought that :)
Julian 24 Nov 2005, 11:51
I'm not planning to see it till Boxing Day, but be assured I'll have my eyes open (and my glasses clean) when I do. There were scenes in the last film where I wondered if they were low plus. Of course it's possible that as Daniel Radcliffe has developed from pretty little boy into extremely handsome young man his eyes have changed.
Femke 24 Nov 2005, 04:12

Here's an extract from an interview with Carmine Giovinazzo:
CSI Files: Fans have taken note of Danny's new glasses, which he didn't wear in the CSI: Miami episode ("MIA/NYC--NonStop") that introduced the NY cast. Why the change?
Giovinazzo: That was part of the character. We're creating a character and I think [the addition of the glasses] worked out for the best. They might come off at some point. I've kind of gotten used to them. Once [I] put those on, you know who this guy is. It's not me, although I do wear glasses.
CSI Files: Did that have anything do with the addition of the glasses?
Giovinazzo: No, no, it was completely a decision that was made as we were beginning to do the show. [Though i]f I took them off, I couldn't see things. I'm blind without them.
CSI Files: It sounds like it was a good addition then.
Giovinazzo: It's nice. I don't have to do [the show] with my contacts on all the time. I can let my eyes breathe.
DNBursky 26 Oct 2005, 08:26
Carmine Giovinazzo wears prescription glasses as his character. I read that the producers wanted his character to wear glasses, and he happened to wear glasses. Those frames were chosen by CBS.

down with love 24 Oct 2005, 16:39
Does anybody know the make and model of the glass frames Ewan McGregor wore in Down with Love. thanks ERIC
Agnes 24 Oct 2005, 15:56
Do you watch CSI-NY? I like (of course) Carmine Giovinazzo, who plays Danny. It's weird. He sometimes wears strong minusses (mostly in the lab), sometimes planos. How come? He maybe can't wear his contacts in the lab, because of the chemicals. He should wear his minusses all the time 8-)
Doreen 17 Oct 2005, 13:16
Julian- you're right, but even then he should give at least some thought to the choice of frames, shouldn't he. MOst people would. Or they would buy a different pair, if they know they are going to appear in public. Other actors are capable of doing it. However, I think the ones he wore when photographed with Franka Potente weren't that bad.
Clare 17 Oct 2005, 12:29
Katy - I agree with you, he's a tasty Welsh rarebit!
Katy 17 Oct 2005, 06:56
Mmmm - whoever posted them - those pics of Ioan Gruffudd are gorgeous (8 Oct), especially this one:
I've never seen him in glasses, but they look like around -4 in that pic. Strangely there are 11 pages of photos, and the only glasses ones are on the most recent page. On another page there is a poll about his specs - has he just come out? :-)
Julian 15 Oct 2005, 05:35
The trouble is that Elijah is a contact wearer. I suspect he may have been advised to give his eyes a rest from contacts sometimes, because he's appeared at a couple of premieres recently in his glasses. I also suspect that he hasn't spent much time choosing frames, because he didn't expect to appear in public wearing them. Years ago, when he was just a kid, he was just once photographed in glasses with round wire frames, Rx lower but still clearly minus. These suited him much better (in my opinion anyway) but still looked like a contact wearer's standby specs. There's a shot on a Yahoo group at http://photos.groups.yahoo.com/group/guysglasses8/vwp?.dir=/Hawke+and+Bartha&.src=gr&.dnm=Elijah+when+young.jpg&.view=t&.done=http%3a//photos.groups.yahoo.com/group/guysglasses8/lst%3f%26.dir=/Hawke%2band%2bBartha%26.src=gr%26.view=t
Wayne 11 Oct 2005, 15:12
I meant problems wearing contacts all the time.
Wayne 11 Oct 2005, 15:11
Elijah does have a propensity for choosing the worst possible frames for his face. I have seen enough pictures of him in glasses to suspect that he has problems wearing them all the time.
I did enjoy seeing those big beautiful blue eyes staring at the blur in front of him. A shame he has to hide those eyes behind ugly frames to see when he doesn't have contacts in. He'd look quite nice in glasses with the right frames.
ron 11 Oct 2005, 12:02
No one likes Elijah's glasses - and nor do I! Incidentally, I think they're a bit stronger than they look - maybe minus 4? He nearly always wears contacts; those bare-eyed shots must be the first photos for years in which the cameraman was a faceless blur...
Doreen 11 Oct 2005, 07:14
I think the problem is Elijah's in frames. There must be some which suit him, but he doesn't seem to be able to find them. If he wore the rights specs-I'd consider him really spexy.
mattp 11 Oct 2005, 06:45
As I've mentioned before, most of the time I think glasses really add to a guy's sex appeal. But occasionally the reverse is true. Maybe it's his choice in frames, but Elijah Wood would do well to forego the glasses. He obviouosly needs lenses to see, but contacts would be a big improvement over his glasses. What do the rest of you think? Matt

Elijah is wearing glasses in most photos-they were made within a short period-, but not in every picture. Those in which he is bare-eyed, the glasses are tucked to his jeans. Interesting to watch, I'd say.

Good day,
I am a maker of hand carved wooden glasses, each being specific in design and construction to the desires of the customer. I personally pick all my woods to ensure uniqueness and quality. If anyone is interested in a one in a kind pair of eyewear, feel free to contact me as we could discuss further the possibilities of custom wooden frames.

Wayne: yes, that's what I had in mind. I just wondered if one of the whiz-kids who know the formula could confirm it. Course, it might be his contacts that are -5; that's what he wears most of the time tho' he's appeared in specs at two premieres recently (and I wish he'd get some better frames!)
Julian 26 Sep 2005, 22:05
dERA jAMU,
You should wear those glossees as much as your nose can tolerate the weight of those -32 lenses.
Love and chester,
Jules
Wayne 26 Sep 2005, 18:54
Julian -- it made sense to me. If Elijah's glasses rx is -5, he'd probably need less minus in contacts. On the other hand the contact equivalent of a +10 glasses lens would be more plus, hence less minus. Would the combination explain the 2 diopter difference? Am I making any more sense with this explanation? :-)
Julian 26 Sep 2005, 02:46
Sorry, reading that post again, it's pretty incoherent. I hope somebody can make sense of it ::)
Julian 26 Sep 2005, 02:44
Yes, I wondered about that. But the effect of vertex distance is to increase the effective power of plus lenses, so that a high hyperope needs stronger contacts than glasses... Can one of the GOC gurus sort this one out; Cactus Jack maybe? I seem to have heard somewhere that Elijah Wood was around -5, and his description of himself as "actually relatively blind" would fit that better than -3. Another thought: have we ever before heard of any comment he's made about his eyesight?
Wayne 25 Sep 2005, 20:56
If Elijah Wood needed -10 contacts to offset the +7 glasses (see link in Robin's post), that would make his rx -3. I've seen pictures of him wearing glasses and they seemed stronger than -3 to me. ??
Robin 23 Sep 2005, 09:37

Wood needs both glasses and contacts.

He is amazing - what do you think his Rx is? That guy is seriously blind without his glasses/contacts!
Adam Rodriguez' newest fan 31 Aug 2005, 16:37
I don’t watch CSI and wasn’t familiar with Adam Rodriguez, but as a guy with a weakness for a Latino in glasses, I thought I’d check him out. Here’s what I found.
http://china-berry.net/adam4ever/candid11big.jpg
http://china-berry.net/adam4ever/candid12big.jpg
Unfortunately, the rest of these pictures cannot be directly linked. They are definitely worth checking out.
http://www.justadam.net/Gateway.htm
then at the Gallery Index select the following albums
H.Q. Heineken Green Session - includes a closeup that shows the strong RX in his black plastic frames
Nautica & Details Party thinner frames - pictures look like they were taken with camera phone
H.Q. Lord's of Dogtown - back to the black plastic frames. Again you see the power of his Rx
H.Q. Medal of Honor Rag - black frames again
H.Q. Guess Who Premiere - shaven for a change and in brown plastic frames
Breakthrough Awards - brown plastic frames with tinted lenses which match his lavender turtleneck

Oz tv last week CSI actor doug hutchison in + 3/4 very nice. Also actor giovani ribisi in ' according to spencer ( luis) +10 at least. i also read a passage from a director ( his sister ) for 'some women' where he went out and bought some spex and refused to be in the movie unless he wore them... a great actor too!!
Agnes 23 Aug 2005, 09:16
No, I don't. It would be the first time.
Have you seen The Island? It's a dream for us, with all these MIGs (McGregor, Sean Bean, Buscemi). The best sequence was, in my opinion, when the clone meets his model (Ewan with glasses, libido and a strong scottish accent). I know Ewan had lasik. It's just something to poke our regrets.
20 Aug 2005, 15:27
Seen photos in a newspaper today of Tom Cruise taking a break from filming MI:3 and he's wearing glasses but i wasn't sure if there for his character or his own. Does anyone know?
Agnes 17 Aug 2005, 05:09
LOST has just arrived on swiss TV. The sequence with Sawyer discovering that he has to wear glasses was so cute. I loved it when Hurley teased him about his geeky specs: "Dude, it looks like someone steam rolled Harry Potter!"
But I'm afraid that Josh Holloway is not a real MIG. Sob...
Helen 10 Aug 2005, 13:33
Hi Julian,
Thanks for the feedback. I agree with what you say about Hayden's specs in Shattered Glass. Must be honest and admit that I only glanced at the interview with Stephen Glass quickly.
Julian 10 Aug 2005, 04:13
The other thing I meant to say was that I also watched the interview with the real Steve Glass, who is an honest-to-goodness myope: not high but unmistakeable; cut-in quite obvious but no power rings.
Julian 09 Aug 2005, 20:11
Helen: I watched the DVD of 'Shattered Glass' with one eye on he story line and the other on Hayden Christensen's specs. They are confusing, aren't they? Most of the time they look like low minus, but occasionally plus - shades of Johnny Depp! I wonder if the cylinder in them is more than either the plus or the minus sphere ('mixed astigmatism') which can give that effect.
NJ 04 Aug 2005, 08:37
I posted this elsewhere, it seems that Dustin Hoffman did GOC in the movie 'Papillon' http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070511/trivia
If you recall, he wore very thick plus glasses throughout the movie.
Julian 03 Aug 2005, 18:18
Hi Helen. I'm waiting for an opportunity to watch that DVD too, but from the stills I've seen I'd think they were minus. He's certainly cute in them.
Helen 03 Aug 2005, 16:19
Hi Julian,
You are an expert on these matters. Please could you take a look at Hayden Christensen in "Shattered Glass" for me? I'd love your expertise on those specs.
Thanks,
Love,
Helen
Julian 03 Aug 2005, 09:45
Just checked out Ashton Kutcher on Getty Images. In the latest set of pics he isn't wearing the beard, or the glasses, he had at the launch of 'Beauty and the Geek' in May - and I must say he looks pretty good without them! Looking at the earlier batch, he even looks good with the beard but without the glasses. I can only conclude those heavy black frames are the wrong ones for him; I'd love to see him in wire or light plastic - but does he need specs at all, or were those (geek) props for the evening?
Also, I got round at last to watching the DVD of 'Closer' last night. Jude Law looks great in those rimless specs, but I really do think they're plano.
Jesse 02 Aug 2005, 11:43
I agree that Chex is looking mighty fine in those glasses.
Cottonfield 31 Jul 2005, 21:07
Chex Martindale was seen again with his spex at the vella market.
Cottonfield 25 Jul 2005, 08:25

15 Jul 2005, 08:46
Hi, I'm new here and I've just been reading the whole thread and it says people magazine did an online poll sometime ago to see if actors looked better with or without glasses when i clikced on the link it just went straight to the people magazine home page. I was wondering if anyone had a direct link to the poll please!
Thank you!
Julian 14 Jul 2005, 23:57
These days the only way to get larger versions from Rex Features is to register and buy them. I checked Getty Images and UPPA, but they haven't got shots from that occasion. Not yet anyway.

Rex Features has some new candid shots of Matt Damon wearing a baseball cap and what are clearly Rx glasses. Just thumbnails though. Anyone have any way of getting the larger versions?

Yeah, I've been watching "Beauty and the Geek" - mainly just for the glasses watching. Most of the men wear glasses - I think all but the little spiky-haired "Joe" wear glasses at least part-time.
Many of the women also have glasses, but you usually only see them wearing them when they're studying with the geeks. Richard's partner Mindy wore her glasses through most of the most recent episode where they went camping.
Sadly, in the episode in which the women gave the guys makeovers they took the glasses off most of the guys, and most of the guys also didn't wear their glasses when they were trying to get girls' phone numbers in the mall.
04 Jul 2005, 03:26
Does anyone know around what script Randy Harrison's glasses are?
Also does Chris Meloni where specs?
One last question How about Tony Parker. I thought I saw contacts in one of his interviews but wasn't quite sure.
TIA
CircleBox 03 Jul 2005, 19:32
Any of you watch the new show on the WB called 'Beauty and the Geek'? Not too sure what to think about the show in general but majority of the guys do actually wear glasses and Richard seems to have the strongest, however I think Shawn is hot- not a geek! Maybe it is the glasses though...

Thanks for that link, Robin. First time I can remember Elijah appearing on that sort of occasion in glasses. Pity he doesn't get better frames for the times he takes his contacts out. As a kind he had a cute pair of round white wire frames that suited him far better.

tallguy1983 28 May 2005, 15:31
anyone got any pictures of the lovely Dan Levy in specs?
Julian 28 May 2005, 07:12
The lovely Ashton Kutcher has me totally confused. The glasses aren't new: he's wearing them, or a pair very like them, in a photo that's been posted on Electra's site (http://www.geocities.com/electra_the_migfetish_lady/actors.html) for over a year (and I saw it in the February 20/20 Online in a page of pics of celebrities modelling frames). I can't see any Rx to speak of in the photos on Getty Images; but on the other hand why does the guy turn up at a launch wearing such 'in-your-face' specs unless he sees better with them?
Possibilities: just a fashion statement; he thinks he looks good in glasses—which he does but then he looks good without them. And why suddenly this week? Or could it be something to doi with the title of the launch: 'Beauty and the Geek'?
In conclusion, I don't think that beard improves him.
Jo 26 May 2005, 12:36
Is there an rx in the glasses Ashton Kutcher is wearing in the latest photos on Getty Images. If so anybody want to hazard a guess at the prescription.
19 May 2005, 09:43
Definitely plus glasses. Most likely astigmatism. I'm no expert but I have met minus glasses wearers with little or no astigmatism, but every plus wearer I have met has had astigmatism.
Julian 19 May 2005, 02:24
Yeah, he is cute, isn't he? Can't say about the astigmatism but it's clear from all the photos that he wears pretty strong plus lenses.
DNBursky 18 May 2005, 23:08
I always had this crush on this guy from the show "Freaks and Geeks" and recently saw him on some show "Revelations", Here are some links for photos of him. Is he farsighted or astigmatism or both? I'm curious what all of you think.

I don't know where to post this, and he was an actor in his youth—Pope John Paul, that is. I was intrigued to read in a book about him: 'We have glimpses of the young priest in photographs, wearing spectacles (later he would use contact lenses)...' And in my innocence I though he must have wonderful eyesight for a man of his age. Did he use monovision contacts, I wonder?
Agnes 01 May 2005, 13:39
Thanks for asking!!
Let's say... Wenham, Christensen, Cusack (not Cusak), Spacey, Weaving.
Still some color problems with Bean, Christensen, Jackman, Kilmer, Oldman...
For Jackman, You'll find much more pics on www.jackmanslanding.com and be sure that Ryan Phillippe wears minusses. See party pics on www.imdb.com
Enjoy!
Helen 26 Apr 2005, 13:10
Agnes,
Electra has asked me to ask you which broken links you would like her to sort out first.
Agnes 24 Apr 2005, 10:10
Great! Ben is not so shy anymore!
I saw Closer again on DVD and I'm getting pretty sure that Jude wears plusses, although he said (4 years ago, things could have changed since Stalingrad!) that he had a perfect sight: (I'm translating it from French Première, April 2001) "I have 10/10, but all those who got in my car as I was driving will tell you the opposite. I always drive as if I was being followed".
So, Electra, what about those broken links? still working on it?
Mimi 21 Apr 2005, 13:36
There is an absolutely great, large picture of Ben wearing his specs in this weeks STAR Magazine. Check it out everyone.
Helen 20 Apr 2005, 15:07

Sheesh, all these years I thought a Thespian was a chick who dug other chicks.
Russell 22 Mar 2005, 14:42
Agnes, a thespian is an actor. The word comes from the first actor in Ancient Greece, Thespis. And the pic of Colin Farrell is a still from a movie where he wore glasses, so it proves nothing except that he is quite lovely in glasses.
Agnes (from Switzerland) 13 Mar 2005, 11:32
Thanks Electra for this great page! Sorry, what's a thespian? Can't wait for the new links. I'm just wondering: the eye below, does it seriously indicate the color? In this case, there are so many mistakes!
Here are some corrections: Cage (green), Brosnan (grey), Duchovny (grey), Fraser (blue), Grant (blue), Kilmer (blue), Jackman (brown), Hurt (blue), Law (grey), Pearce (blue), Owen (green), Oldman (blue), Robbins (blue), Spacey (brown), Sinise (not Sinese, green), Sutherland (blue).
Thanks for the pics of Colin Farrell, nice proof.

Yes, Rob I have thought about it... welcome to the strange and powerful cult of celebrity. If not me talking Johnny Depp, then somebody else would be talking about Ben Afleck... He's sort of the anti-Johnny Depp on the celebrity scale, isn't he?
Julian... from now on I will only give you pretty pictures to drool over.
Rob 12 Mar 2005, 03:00
As a hopeless OO, I think this is a great conversation - but can you IMAGINE Johnny Depp's bemusement if he stumbled across it by accident?
Julian 11 Mar 2005, 23:58
No, no luck at all. An icon appears in the corner of the screen and it claims to be downloading the pic, then it just stops. Sudden thought though, I'll try Netscape instead of IE.
(Pause...)
That did the trick. OK, those lenses are definitely minus in the horizontal axis, but I'm still not convinced that there's 'all-round' minification there. Never mind, we can go on stuggling to interpret shots and enjoying looking at him ::)
Thanks for all your efforts.
Love and kisses, Jules.

deppendent: for some reason the third of those links is the only one that works for me ::( In some ways I think he's better-looking now than then, but those NHS-type wire frames (as we'd call them in the UK) give him a wonderfully vulnerable look.
Love and kisses, Jules.
Larry 10 Mar 2005, 14:18
Here's an idea: Why doesn't someone just write to Johnny Depp or his agent and see if they will shed some light on his eyesight. If JD really loves glasses, he may very well be willing to share that information. It may be worth a try.
elijah wood 10 Mar 2005, 08:00
deppendent 10 Mar 2005, 00:56
Thank you Electra for putting some perspective on the JD quest. I never turn down a challenge and Julian has put quite a charming spin on each and every twist and turn. I am ready to put a temporary end to the madness---unless, of course, I come across an incontrovertible photo or quote. I’m anxious to see if your plea for “expert testimony” yields any results.
I am posting two more series of 21 Jump Street photos. At this point, everyone has an opinion, and I don’t think I need to repeat mine. I included the third photo for those of us who appreciate how impossibly beautiful the man has been and always will be.

(via email - Katy)
Johnny..........I give up. I've read all the comments, studied all the pictures, considered everything...........I have no idea. I submit. I am defeated. The one thing I'm absolutely certain of, and that the reason he wears them as MUCH as he does is out of choice. What I must say is that I'm extremely grateful to Deppendant for all her efforts in putting up those pictures, especially the little set from Jump Street where he puts his glasses on briefly just to see something across the room. Be still my beating heart. I would love buy the video and watch it a thousand times or so, and if Deppendant could identify the precise videotape (episode #, set whatever) for me? And if anyone who works for an optometrist that Johnny has ever visited reads this, please put us out of our misery..................
Katy 09 Mar 2005, 08:19
Julian - you are right.. apparently his squiffiness is caused by the fact that his 'extreme myopia' is uncorrected in his films - he can't wear contacts. Nice interview:
http://www.chrisgallery.net/pages/toyboy.html
Julian 09 Mar 2005, 07:22
Katy: the answer is, yes, he does. See http://www.geocities.com/electra_the_migfetish_lady/actors.html ... Believed to be 'VM' which I take to mean very myopic. There's also a link to more pictures but it doesn't work - or at any rate wouldn't for me this afternoon.
Katy 09 Mar 2005, 03:34
Actually, on that subject, Christopher Lambert has always looked deliciously squiffy.. I think I watched 'Highlander' about 6 times :-)
http://krasavchiki.narod.ru/hunk48.jpg
mmm.. I wonder if he has glasses..
Katy 09 Mar 2005, 03:15
deppendent - nice photo.. he looks squiffy the other way in that one :-)
Depp detective 09 Mar 2005, 02:35
My verdict: Johnny has a mild Rx for astigmatism incorporating some minus and maybe a bit of plus, and the balance may have shifted over the years. But it's so weak that I'm surprised he couldn't read a teleprompter without them. He could drive legally without those specs in any state in the Union.
deppendent 09 Mar 2005, 00:20
OK, this is my last Oscar post. There does seems to be slight evidence of power rings… but mainly, this is a really yummy photo. Enjoy.
http://www.geocities.com/une_songeuse/osc3/oscu1.jpg
Julian 08 Mar 2005, 23:58
OK, so we wait for new evidence. Trouble is, as with 'The Ninth Gate'. we can never be sure that the glasses he is wearing are the whole of his correction. Thinks: pity those weren't his real Rx; I thought he was unbelievably sexy in those.
deppendent 08 Mar 2005, 19:47
Julian… yes I’m having fun, but I’m working awfully hard for it. I am proud to claim a partial victory in your eyes (pun intended), but now I’m now forced to go back to the photo archives. I wish the Oscar pics had posted better, in the original footage there is virtually no distortion. I know how little weight my word has with this group, so I'll say no more. Here’s a bone for you, I do think there is some astigmatism, but not primary.
Filthy McNasty 08 Mar 2005, 08:07
Get a pair of plano lenses and shoot them from the side and many will produce a similar effect. I've seen it many times. I am not convinced that there's a true Rx there at all.
Julian 08 Mar 2005, 02:47
Thanks for those links, deppendent. OK, the 'Secret Window' shots convince me that those are not plus lenses. However, the distortion I can see doesn't look like true minification (like we got in 'The Ninth Gate'). More like astigmatic distortion—minification along the horizontal axis which *is* certainly minus, but not the vertical.
Isn't this fun?
Love and kisses, Jules.

Boy, you guys are a tough room to work… I gave you clear minus correction in not one, but both eyes. What does a girl have to do? I liked the astigmatism argument, I really did, but we're not talking about a teenager in these pictures (although he certainly looks like one), we're talking about a 24 year old man.
Oscar photos! I only see minus correction, unless the bodyguard behind Johnny really has 3 eyes, 3 ears, 2 noses and 2 mustaches. Again, both eyes…

Did anyone see the delish pix of Chex Martindale with his Eltonesque spexy spex? Looks like moderate minus and perhaps a new bit of add?

I vote for astigmatism - in fact thats what I always thought. Also, as I recall from my youth, it seemed like there were people who wore what looked like weak minus glasses all thru school, and then meeting up with them a few years after college, they would be wearing plus. I wonder if it was the custom back in the 60 & 70s not to prescribe the plus part of the prescrption for young hyperopic astigmats without diplopia (eye crossing) in an effort to allow as much emmitropisation (allowing the eye to grow out of hyperopia) as possible.
See - I was noticing this stuff even then!
Julian 07 Mar 2005, 08:43
There's a thought, Katy, But after reading the recent posts and looking at the photos I'm wondering about the other wild card: ASTIGMATISM. A lens with more cylinder than spher in it can look plus at one distance and minus at another.
Katy 07 Mar 2005, 03:20
Is it possible Johnny has weak prisms in his glasses? In some of his pics there is a slight look of squiffiness about him. In this one his right eye appears to be looking outwards a bit -

I don't know if it's been mentioned before, but one of the guys on the TV series "CSI:New York" wears glasses with unmistakable low/moderate minus. In the episodes I've seen there were plenty of closeup shots from various angles.

Hi all… a little Johnny controversy is nice, isn’t it. OK, let’s go back to 1987. I have put up a few pages from 21 Jump Street days. Two of the pages are from an early episode of the show. The correction on the glasses looks like a low minus to me—objects through the lenses, like the striped shirt, are in pretty crisp detail.
http://www.geocities.com/une_songeuse/jse1/index.htm
http://www.geocities.com/une_songeuse/jse2/index.htm
The third page shows stills from an old piece of video shot on the set. Apologies for the quality...,. Aside from the obvious (Johnny had to put on his glasses to see what was going on across the room), if you look closely the lenses they sure look minus.

Katy 06 Mar 2005, 15:52
Email from Electra about Johnny.. have just copied & pasted it (she says it is driving her nuts not being able to post!) -
First there's a set of stills from "Cry Baby" that show interesting thru-the-lens distortions for anyone who wants to study them. I can't come to any conclusion about these! http://legolas.virtue.nu/cb/cb.html
Then there's this unusual shot taken at the Oscars last week. It shows no cut-in, or for that matter cut-out, but I have never seen lights do this to minus lenses. http://www.ohjohnny.net/television/77aa/77aa122.jpg
What I think may be significant in this whole guessing game is the jokes Johnny plays. In Sleepy Hollow he uses the weirdest glasses contraption I've ever seen (featured on the index page of my website). Is it just a coincidence that the more powerful side was on Johnny's self-claimed "bad eye"? So is it just a coincidence that these were (mega strong) PLUS lenses?
Finally, could you say that I have replied to every e-mail I have received on my Hotmail account since the day I opened it, which is about a year ago now. The address is on every page on my website.
In other news.............
If you're interested, a lady donated two pics of Colin Farrell offset in glasses, which are really nice, up on the site!

Furtive… The Polanski quote is pretty strong evidence. I admit. I'm surprised I’ve never seen it. Was it a translation or an English language interview? It does explains why the two pairs of glasses he wears in the film don’t seem to be the same prescription… the tortoise shell frames seem to have a pretty high minus (the part of the movie they shot first) and the round frames are still minus but not as high. Even someone with a low minus prescription would have had a hard time wearing those tortoise shell glasses.
I did find photos of him wearing sunglasses on the Ninth Gate set that still appear to be a minus prescription. These glasses turn up in many succeeding photos over the next year or two. I always thought the he “hid” his prescription behind dark glasses when he wasn’t wearing contacts. He was pretty shy about wearing clear-lensed glasses for a lot of years.
Patience my children… I will post all my photos later today. The photos I found from 21 Jump Street (shot in 1986, yep, 19 years ago) show lenses that are a definite minus, but a fairly light prescription. He also wore the same glasses off-camera during the filming of Platoon and in about a dozen succeeding episodes of Jump Street. Always did wonder how his eyes got so bad so quickly when a saw the Ninth Gate.
Will include some Oscar shots in my next post. Still holding out that the underlying problem is still myopia with age-related (sorry Johnny) plus correction.
P.S. Unless one of us speaks Italian and has the article I think we will have to call the Vanity Fair quote a moot point. (However, a French article I saw used “myopie.”)
Furtive 05 Mar 2005, 21:17
In the Vanity Fair article what he actually said when asked whether the glasses were a or whether he was nearsighted or whether wearing glasses was a "habit" was: “Both. I have very mild short-sightedness and I hope they give me a more intelligent look. Only kidding, I like eyeglasses, I practically have a collection of them.”
I think that's pretty much an admission of being one of us - an OO. And if that's the case there could be all sorts of explanations as to which type of glasses he wore when and why... They could be minus one day, plus the next...
05 Mar 2005, 20:55
I saw him on the tonight show and he was wearing those horn rims. They were absolutely plus lenses. No question.
Furtive 05 Mar 2005, 20:20
Here's an interesting quote re: Johnny Depp:
"Acting is very easy for Johnny. You never see him rehearse his lines. He comes to the set very relaxed and fulfills his task. This was very stimulating. He was interested in old books in any case. He read some of them before the shooting. After that he just put on his costume. I asked him all the time: 'What do you think of this? If you think it's good, I think that too,' was his laconic reply. Concerning his glasses, I explained to him that I wanted him to wear real glasses, because they give a person a different kind of look in the eyes. When he tried them on, he screamed that they made him blind. I insisted on him playing the role like that. Luckily he accepted and for the whole movie he wore glasses through which he actually saw nothing." - Roman Polanski
D.N.M. 05 Mar 2005, 18:17
re: johnny depp...
i always assumed he was nearsighted...but it seems that Julian et al. are correct.
These: http://www.johnnydeppfan.com/candids/0502ms2.jpg are sunglasses, but you can see his cheek sticking out -- they look like plus lenses to me. however, it could just be his cheekbone.
Helen 05 Mar 2005, 09:25
Electra,
Seeing as you so obviously read this board, I'd like to thank for all the e-mails I've received from you lately. Or maybe I should say I don't know what I have done to upset you, but it is nice to know who one's friends are.
deppendent 05 Mar 2005, 08:46
Hi all… I love it. A stimulating discussion. I do believe that Johnny does have some plus correction going on now, but I believe that the lenses are… yikes…blended bifocal (he is almost 42).
I did find some clear minus lenses from the 1980s, I’m working on the post.
I think that the Ninth Gate seems like an anomaly because he wore contacts pretty much exclusively from 1994 to 2003. You can certainly see very obvious edges of them in almost every still picture and at some point in every movie. I even think Nick of Time is GOC.
The bifocals also explain the sudden transition from contacts to glasses (except on the set). If you’re happy in contacts, your close vision starts to go and can’t adjust to monovision… like I said in my first post, your options are limited.
Katy 05 Mar 2005, 04:32
They look like plus lenses in these too -

I'm with Jules on this one. Have a look at this pic http://editorial.gettyimages.com/source/search/details_pop.aspx?iid=52142410&cdi=0
some distortion, but no cut it. Either astigmatic or hyperpoic.
Julian 05 Mar 2005, 02:54
deppendent: Right, I can't wait. I had an email last night from Electra, who for some inscrutable reason can't post here. She agrees that you make some significant points, but in the end agrees with me that the jury is still out. More observations of my own:
1. I still think myopic, short-sighted and near-sighted are used loosely as generic terms. And by the way, Electra reminds me that the interview you quoted before had been translated from English into Italian and back!
2. Although as I mentioned yesterday I'm hyperopic, I also might have more trouble with a teleprompter if it was too far away as it would need better visual acuity.
3. In 'The Ninth Gate' Johnny wears unmistakeable minus specs. If that was his prescription there would be nothing to discuss because he'd be wearing the same everywhere. But he isn't. (Quite nice if he did - those looked good!)
I'll be delighted if you can produce anything conclusive.
Love and kisses, Jules.
deppendent 05 Mar 2005, 00:38
Julian… I do love a challenge and I think that I am up to it, but I will have to search my archives for the evidence.
1. I came across a French fanzine called Lundi dating back to the 21 Jump Street period, with an article titled “10 Things You Don’t Know about Johnny Depp..” Number one was:“ il souffre le myopie.”
2. When Johnny has commented about trouble seeing, it has always been about distant objects. The exact Oscar quote from Johnny to the producers was “I’ll do this but I’m not going to say all that stuff. I can’t even read the Teleprompter, it’s too far away.” The famous Playboy quote was about being able to visually process a room full of 250 naked women (scene from Don Juan de Marco). Johnny’s quote was ‘I have one bad eye, so there go 125 right there. I’d say I can deal with something in the 30’s.”
3. I have to go back to the Ninth Gate… there are quite a few pictures of Johnny on-set, but off camera—laughing with the crew, chatting with the cast, watching the video playback with Polanski etc. He’s still wearing the glasses. If they were in any way “wrong,” he would have taken them off the minute cameras stopped rolling. GOC… I don’t think so, but Nick of Time, yes.
4. I’ll post some photos in a day or two. I think I can pull a screen capture from Oscar red carpet footage this year you may find compelling. Also, I remember a shot from Secret Window where the “rings” were evident… and I know I can find something from 21 Jump Street.
Julian 04 Mar 2005, 05:57
deppendent: I'm not entirely convinced by all you say about Johnny's eyesight. Your marshal your arguments well, but they aren't conclusive.
1. He wore glasses a a kid...if they were for myopia I'd expect obvious cut-in and power rings by now.
2. In my experience lots of people use 'near-sighted' as a generic term for not seeing well. (I remember one friend of mine saying, "Sorry, I can't read that; I'm short-sighted—well actually I'm long-sighted.")
3. The glasses he wears in 'The Ninth Gate' are unmistakeably minus - but show me another picture of him where the lenses reveal that...if Roman Polanski wanted a myopic character perhaps he did GOC.
4. In the shots I have of the 2004 BAFTAs his lenses look low plus to me. And in the shots I've seen from 'The Secret Window' they alos looked plus.
5. I'm a low hyperope with slight astigmatism - and I'll bet I couldn't read a teleprompter bareyed.
I think the jury is still out.
deppendent 03 Mar 2005, 22:02
My long time obsession is Johnny Depp, and Electra… you have it wrong, Johnny is definitely nearsighted by his own admission. In a 2003 interview with Italian Vanity Fair he responded to “what’s with the glasses, are you nearsighted?” with “just a bit.” Since you seem to have developed a crush on our boy… here’s some trivia for you.
1986 Platoon. A yet-to-be famous Johnny appears in all of the on-set publicity pictures wearing glasses.
1987-1990 21 Jump Street. Johnny wore his glasses in many of the episodes as an undercover “disguise” for his cop character.
1993 What Eating Gilbert Grape. Stories from the rural Texas location where the movie was shot was that Johnny would sneak off the set to hit the music clubs in Austin… incognito in glasses, of course.
1994 Oscars. Johnny and others often recount this famous story about his experience as an Oscar presenter. Johnny showed up for rehearsal and discovered that the teleprompter was too far away for him to read the copy. Instead of wearing his glasses, he asked the writers to shorten his introduction to a few words. Shortly after the Oscars incident, he started wearing contact lenses on and off the set, and seemed to remain a happy wearer for several years.
1998 The Ninth Gate… that’s an interesting one. Electra, I don’t know where you read the glasses were a prop Polanski “made” Johnny wear for realism. Polanski did talk about liking Johnny in glasses because they fit the character and helped “age” him. But I can’t imagine a director compromising a performance by asking an actor who needs prescription glasses to wear prescription glasses, just not his own, and not in one scene, but the whole movie. I also can’t image studio execs allowing a star who effectively “can’t see” risk injury by running down steps in the dark and driving a speeding car. Shutting down production, even for a day, would have cost many thousands of dollars. I think the specs were the real deal.
2003. Johnny turns 40 and starts wearing glasses off-set again. Coincidence? I think not. When you’re nearsighted, correcting distance vision starts messing up your close vision in your late thirties. If you want to see both near and far, your options start to suck. I think that’s what’s going on with him.

I'd also say that Jude Law's glasses in "Closer" are planos.You don't really see him taking out the contact, I'd say, it seems to happen rather fast.But who knows, he could be a MIG anyway who wasn't in a position to decide whether or not to wear his own glasses.Has anyone spotted contacts in his eyes yet?

RU sure about Jude's glasses? I think they're +1. Besides, would he wear fake contacts too?
Has anybody seen Hugh Jackman with specs recently? It's getting boring...

I hadn't heard of Brandon Routh, but he'll look even better with glasses.
Has anyone seen that episode of The Simpsons in which Bart and Milhouse set up a comic shop? Milhouse gets a bit of grief for his thick glasses. Anyway, a salesman managest to sell him 1000 copies of "Biclops" magazine for his shop, but no-one wants it. Turns out it's a magazine for Lenscrafters. I liked the glasses theme.

DNBursky 14 Dec 2004, 11:28
I started watching "CSI: NY" the new show with the recently discussed Gary Sinise. His costar, Carmine Giovinazzo wears glasses as "Danny". I found a blurb about it in an interview he did. They're a real prescription for once.
David
CSI Files: Fans have taken note of Danny's new glasses, which he didn't wear in the CSI: Miami episode ("MIA/NYC--NonStop") that introduced the NY cast. Why the change?
Giovinazzo: That was part of the character. We're creating a character and I think [the addition of the glasses] worked out for the best. They might come off at some point. I've kind of gotten used to them. Once [I] put those on, you know who this guy is. It's not me, although I do wear glasses.
CSI Files: Did that have anything do with the addition of the glasses?
Giovinazzo: No, no, it was completely a decision that was made as we were beginning to do the show. [Though i]f I took them off, I couldn't see things. I'm blind without them.
CSI Files: It sounds like it was a good addition then.
Giovinazzo: It's nice. I don't have to do [the show] with my contacts on all the time. I can let my eyes breathe.
Eclipse 12 Dec 2004, 12:25
I went to see the movie The Forgotten the other day and came across that rare thing in a movie where a character wears their own (real) glasses and it doesn't come into the plot at all. I hadn't come across this actor before but according to the IMDB he is called Gary Sinise. He wears a very nice pair of minus glasses and I managed to find a picture:

Electra,
Wish that there was some way I could send you an e-mail. Anyway, will post any thoughts and comments here.
Watched "The Sum of All Fears" again the other evening and thought that I could spot myself at last. So, took DVD to play on my PC and looked at the scene again. Unfortunately, I could not find the exact spot even after two or three times of looking. However, I am convinced that I could see contacts in Ben's eyes. Maybe I am beginning to see things that are not there.
It has been too quiet on the Ben front lately. If I do by some miracle 'bump' into him in Boston, I feel the need to ask him about his eyes.
Enjoy your day.
Electra 25 Aug 2004, 04:17
To be honest Jules, I can never find groups at Yahoo even while they are still live. The groups search engine is possibly the worst search I've ever come across. Unless you have the actual link, it's usually hopeless. I seem to have it in for Yahoo this week don't I! I'd like to complain about the "new Chat" they've got set up like a ship too, but this in not the place!
A Lurker 25 Aug 2004, 00:06
A couple of young actors regularly spotted in frames on places such as Getty Images. Firstly, Martin Spanjers (although his last pic is under Mark Spanjers!) from 8 Simple Rules. He seems to wear glasses (or prescription shades) for most of his appearances. The other is Drake Bell from Nick's "Drake and Josh" show. He's photographed several times wearing black plastic frames, not the kind of glasses for those shy about their specs! He's not always wearing them, I don't think his rx is that high, there's not too much cut in, but he's definately squinting in some of the shots where he's bare eyed.
It's good to see younger stars comfortable with wearing their glasses. Hopefully it will convince some reluctant teens that specs can enhance their appearance.
Julian 24 Aug 2004, 05:12
Fair enough I suppose; but it would help if they explained a little more instead of just denying that the group exists. I've had this experience before when a group has closed down.
Love and kisses, Jules.
Electra 24 Aug 2004, 05:04
That was Yahoo, they shut it down from lack of use. The way I see it, if it's that unpopular there's no point shoring it up. I can put exactly the same pictures/information up on my website, which won't be going anywhere!

Electra: I tried to log on to your Yahoo group and got this:
There is no group called johnnydeppsglasses.
Have you closed it down, or what? And, ny the way, did you get the message I left on 'Sire feedback...'?
Love and kisses, Jules.
Electra 21 Aug 2004, 05:32
You know my opinion Helen, Ben's recent choice in glasses was possibly one of the worst he could have made, and whoever advised him needs shooting. I can enjoy him wearing them (hey, it's better than no glasses, right?) but I hope we'll see something different soon. Have you noticed how there's nothing happening in the world of hot actors in glasses? I scour the sites, but.............waaaaaah!!!!!! I hate summer!
Helen 21 Aug 2004, 01:40
Electra,
I used to read FCUK as an anagaram. And, then I realized that it stands for French Connection UK.
I glanced in the window of an optometrist store yesterday and there was a picture of a guy wearing rimless specs. He looked stunning. Now, this guy's feature were not unlike Ben's facial features (colouring, too). Ben would look just as good, probably better.
Wish we could be Ben's 'Image Maker'. Boy! Talk about a field day here.
Electra 18 Aug 2004, 04:46
I had to look at FCUK three times before I was sure there Helen, LOL!!!
Paycheck, ah yes. That warms my heart. Those of you who haven't succumbed to Ben's charms, I've got screen shots up at my website. I'm still meeting people who don't believe me, but Helen and I would like to shout it from the rooftops - YES Ben Affleck is myopic, isn't that wild? Enjoy the pics at
http://www.geocities.com/electra_the_migfetish_lady/paycheck.html
Electra 18 Aug 2004, 04:41
I looked him up. That photo is nice, and he was a decent Lancelot, but oh dear, bare-eyed and in designer clothes he's really quite dull! Talk about attack of the clones. Excuse me I'm going to bang my head on the desk {thud, thud, thud}. Really guys - you are all so cookie cutter in your Armani suits and short hair cuts. A big YAWN. Zzzzzzzzz. THIS is why you need glasses. It takes away that "same old, same old" classic male model look.
Helen 16 Aug 2004, 12:47

Hi Electra,
Watched the beginning of "Paycheck" yesterday in honour of Ben's birthday. God! I do love that man in glasses.
Talking of glasses, I got my new ones on Saturday. I have gone for FCUK frames, very light. They are stronger than my other ones, but not all that strong. Dad said that they were when he tried them on, but he is hyperopic/presbyopic and they would for him.
Also, got some reading glasses as I am going to be doing a fair bit of reading whilst waiting for Maryann at Boston airport. Looking forward to our trip there. Wish that you could have made it, too. Only another 14 more working days to go. Hooray!
Lurker #574 14 Aug 2004, 08:41
Hollywood and the press in general.... these people are into HYPE aka hyperbole. Better know as bull shit . These people are nothing but bull shit artists.
Electra 14 Aug 2004, 06:50
In Hollywood terms, actually often in general non-OO terms, "very myopic" can mean anyone who needs their glasses full-time. I've heard plenty of people use the coke bottle reference to low prescriptions too. Go figure. From the photos of James Dean in glasses that I've seen, they were no higher than -3.00.
LongTimeLurker 14 Aug 2004, 06:20
Not sure if this has ever come up before, but James Dean is said to have been VERY myopic (although in Hollywood terms, I'm not sure what that means...). But his driver's licence DID require that he wear corrective lenses, and there are a number of references to "coke bottle eyeglasses" from people who were on the sets of his 2/3 movies.
Anybody know any more?
An Actor 13 Aug 2004, 08:40
I'm one of the names mentioned way down in the thread and if it's OK with everyone here I'd like to speak up for those of us who don't always have the final say in how we look.
When you make your living dressing up as other people you have to do what the director and wardrobe people tell you to do. Sometimes that includes wearing glasses. For technical reasons usually they want you to wear prop glasses they have control over. Sometimes they let you wear your own glasses. Depends on time, budget, and other issues. But it's not unusual for an actor who has arrived on set in contacts to be told to wear prop glasses. We don't get a choice usually. Only the big names like Depp get to do that.
But thanks for noticing.
Electra 12 Aug 2004, 10:38
I'd known you under any disguise Helen! Have a great time in Southie for me. Wish I could be there.
Electra 12 Aug 2004, 10:36
Can't see any Rx in the trailers or screenshots, so they may be props, sadly. Pity, he's really cute in them, reminds me of my ex-husband!
Guest 11 Aug 2004, 18:23
Anyone see The Manchurian Candidate? Denzel Washington is in glasses the whole movie. Anybody guess his perscription?
Helen 10 Aug 2004, 14:42
Oops, forgot to say who I was, but Electra would have known.
10 Aug 2004, 14:39
Electra,
I'm banging my heading with you in a united front here.
Hey! I'm off to Boston in a month. Oh, pray for a Ben and Matt sighting. I'd settle for just Ben, but two for the price of one would be seriously wonderful.
'Guest, Matt is a very very sneaky one, but if you watch Good Will Hunting you can see his contacts plainly in one scene. I think he and his best buddy must belong to the "The Sky Will Fall if I'm Seen in Glasses" club. {bangs head several times on desk}'
Electra 10 Aug 2004, 13:38
Jules, Tobey is for my money a perfect example of a guy I wouldn't look twice at normally, but is quite head-turning in glasses. Maybe he'll be nice to us and play a proper glasses part in a movie sometime. He's still very young, so lots of time, and lots of room for improvement.
Electra 10 Aug 2004, 13:34

Julian 10 Aug 2004, 07:48
Filthy weather yesterday, so I went to the cinema to see 'SpiderMan 2'...I really need to refresh my memory about the plot of the previous film (I have the video at home).
I guess most people have seen this. I was fascinated by the period when Peter (Tobey Maguire) gave up being SpiderMan, tripped over a step, fished his glasses out and put them on, after a quick blurry shot of the scene as he allegedly saw it without them. For my money Tobey Maguire looks good in glasses (but then for my money so does any guy you name!) but why, oh why do they put him in planos when he's naturally a minus 4 or thereabouts? When he resumed SpiderMan activity there was another blurry shot which cleared miraculously, then he crushed the specs in his hand, dropped them on the ground and one lens fell out.
Sadly, the lovely James Franco (Harry) was a much less sympathetic charater thanI remember. Worse, he never once appeared in the sexy round wire specs he wore at his desk in the first film.
Must watch that again!
Love and kisses, Jules.

It's still too tragic for me, sad fan, and take the tragedy away and there's no story, so............see my problem?
sad fan 04 Aug 2004, 11:28
i didn't mean break his glasses forever! he can get a new pair (maybe with a bumped-up Rx) and everyone will be overjoyed :)
Electra 04 Aug 2004, 04:19
Sad fan: There are updates and new stuff in the works, but I think you've asked me for this before, well, someone has, and I need to patiently and with all due respect, explain that my stories are about men in glasses (MIG), NOT men without glasses! Not sure how else to put that. The whole thrust (pardon the term) of my stories are for those who like to see...... to ENJOY guys who are wearing glasses. If you bring in an element like you suggest, by definition, crack, the glasses have gone. Gone is bad! Broken is bad! To totally misquote Jack Sparrow....... "but why is the glasses gone?"
sad fan 03 Aug 2004, 14:49
Electra, I so wish you would start writing stories on your website again. I loved them so much I almost know some of them by heart! How about a story about a cute teenage guy who breaks his glasses?
Electra 01 Aug 2004, 07:05
What I may end up having to do is get a non-Yahoo e-mail. It looks like Yahoo changed something about their mail recently that I can't access, in other words they say it's my problem, tough luck, but I'm persuing it. Anyway, I'll keep you posted here.
Don't know what we are going to do with Ben. Talk about tantalizing, huh?
Helen 31 Jul 2004, 02:53
Hey Electra!
I understand about the e-mail. Yahoo can be a right pain at times. Found lots of pictures of Ben at the DNC, but alas none of him wearing glasses. I am sure that I can see his contacts in one shot. Wish that he would develop this sudden urge to wear his glasses for once. Until then all we can do is dream.
Electra 30 Jul 2004, 04:01
Hey Helen! Nobody will get any e-mails from me until Yahoo fix my mail. I'm hoping it won't take too long, but you know what they're like.
Ian 29 Jul 2004, 16:13

Tina, I actually do have a photo of John Hannah in glasses and I'll get it up on the website ASAP. Got quite a few updates for it collected in a pile under the bed (figuratively speaking).
Electra 22 Jul 2004, 13:06
Sophie, I know the scene you mean {fans self} and I'll see what I can do. I know he wears glasses offscreen because so many interviewers have said so, but why they can't have a damn camera handy beats me. Maybe he'd sue, who knows.
sophie 22 Jul 2004, 12:12

just a thought which i'm sure you have already considered.......Mel Gibson wears v nice reading specs for a few seconds in What women want (chapter 18 on dvd). think they are v low plus or plano....u could easily get some screen shots

I saw gale in a movie wearing plano's

DNBursky -
The lenses are obviously plus - but whatever - he is just a lovely hunk !!
Dee 16 Jul 2004, 06:42
Oh yes, they're obviously plus lenses, not too strong but just enough to be interesting. A very good strength in fact for plus, I feel. He's not really my kettle of fish though, not really manly man enough. Funny nose, makes him look a bit stuck up. But I'd look twice if he walked past.
zoomey 16 Jul 2004, 05:35
It's pretty obvious that they are plus lenses if you zoom in on the pic. The last one is most apparent) An easy way to do this is (on ie) is to select print preview, and then - in the drop down menu where you see 75% - select 200% or 500% (you'll probably need to scoll over and down to the picture content)
Julian 16 Jul 2004, 03:31
Odd one, that. Where I can see any image through the lenses it looks like minification, but the whole appearance suggests strong plus. I wonder if maybe there's a whole lot of cylinder in those lenses. In any case I'd see he needs that correction pretty badly and has to wear contacts or specs full time. Looks good though, doesn't he?
Love and kisses, Jules.
DNBursky 16 Jul 2004, 00:26
Can anyone figure out actor Christopher Sieber, who used to be on "It's All Relative" on ABC in the U.S., as well as a Broadway actor's prescription? Does he look near or farsighted, in these photos?

D 09 Jul 2004, 03:00
Isn't it strange that in the Ninth Gate Johnny Depp wears minus glasses for character realism, but that in films like spiderman they use plano, although the actor has glasses in reality?
Julian 08 Jul 2004, 04:20
I've posted a few shots of Tobey Maguire in a new folder on Electra's Yahoo group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/johnnydeppsglasses/
Love and kisses, Jules.
Julian 08 Jul 2004, 01:58
He certainly is: I have a couple of shots of him in quite strong minus specs. I read somewhere he's -4; could be right, could be more than that.
And, by the way, what about that cute James Franco who had a supporting role in the first Spiderman film and put on wire-rimmed specs wehn he was at his desk?
Love and kisses, Jules.
Filthy McNasty 07 Jul 2004, 21:59
And they're clearly visible, too. Yup, he's myopic all right.

He does. He wears contacts.
John M. 07 Jul 2004, 17:23
I just saw Spidy 2 this past weekend. Tobey Maguire looked so hot in those glasses even though they were plano. I remember in the first movie the specs were plano, too, except the part where Pete doesnt' need em anymore. In the first movie, they used moderate to high minus lenses, but in the second movie, they used plus lenses. If only Tobey needed glasses in real life!
She-Bop 04 Jul 2004, 05:03
You can see George Eads in glasses on the Electra Migfetish site, link on the front page. Really good site for actors in glasses. I saw that movie, and they look real to me. I've seen him wear them before too.

were they rx or plano??

Yes Julian, I agree about the 20/20 actor being a dissapointment.
And yes, I'm the same "Furtive" who was having "coming out" issues with glasses.
At this point my glasses are pretty much "out" everywhere, with the weird exception of around my family. They are not on my face 100% of my waking hours, but maybe 70%.

I know, its off topic! 09 Jun 2004, 07:13
I think all these right wingers should go to Reagan's grave and when he is lowered into the ground they should jump in after him.
They keep going on about him. What we are seeing here is a PERSONNALITY CULT. Perhaps these people should put the old actor in a nitrogen filled plxiglass case like they did Lennin and Mao.
For Christ's sake the man was 93 fucking years old! How much longer did these mindless fat heads expect the old geezer to have lived.
Julian 07 Jun 2004, 02:01
Pity, isn't it? They make a film where glasses are a character's trade mark, and cast somebody who doesn't actually need them...there must be plenty of young actors around with bad eyesight. I've got no complaints about Daniel Radcliffe, but just suppose they'd been making the series ten years ago when Elijah Wood was the right age to play Harry Potter!
But of course, what you say about light reflection is probably the reason Tobey Maguire doesn't often wear his real prescription on set.
By the way are you the Furtive who was posting sometime last year about struggling to 'come out' as a glasses wearer?
Love and kisses, Jules.
Furtive 06 Jun 2004, 19:17
I saw a TV show about the making of the Harry Potter movies. It had interviews with the cast, including Daniel Radcliffe. He showed the interviewer that the particular set of Harry Potter frames that he was wearing in the interview actually had no lenses in them at all (he stuck his finger through them to demonstrate.) He said that there are multiple pair of glasses and that the lense-less ones are used whenever the glare of the lights would be a problem, whereas those with lenses are used for close-ups in which it would be more apparent if there were no lenses.
Alex 06 Jun 2004, 10:20
Jules,
I saw the film yesterday too, and I totally agree with you about Daniel, he is going to be a very handsome young man when he grows up, hope we all get to see more of him.
Let me just end this message with this "Long Live Harry Potter"
Kind Regards,
Alex
Julian 06 Jun 2004, 05:35
Saw the new Harry Potter film last night. I notice:
1. Daniel Radcliffe, who started the series as an uninterestingly pretty little boy, is on the way to being a very handsome young man - when he's old enough to notice that is. But I hear rumours that he is growing up too fast for the series to keep up with him ::(
2. The glasses he was wearing didn't look quite plano to me; I thought there was some distortion that suggested a weak plus lens. In one scene his glasses we knocked off (in a struggle with the whomping willow) and we were given an impression of what he saw bareyed - all quite blurry.
3. There was a trailer of Spiderman II with several shots of Tobey Maguire in black plastic frames - but certainly not the -4 lenses he is said to need.
Love and kisses, Jules.

If you look at his pictures closely on his website, you will see in some of them, that both eyes are not pointed in

JohnS 23 May 2004, 05:48
It appears Jonathan at least in his younger pictures, probably had a rx or +4 to +6. The later pictures make it very hard to tell. In a few of the later pictures he was wearing rectangular rimless frame, pretty easy to tell the plus rx. I noticed several times he was wearing non-rx glasses.
Looks like he has an alignment problem, I would not doubt he has some prism correction in there too.
It seems that many pictures that showed him at an angle, were either poor resoulution, or had some banner running across the image. No one thinks about us :(
DNBursky 23 May 2004, 00:50
On the website for child actor Jonathan Lipnicki, he was in "Jerry Maguire" and "Stuart Little" , he is wearing a pair of semi rimless frames that look quite unique. They are rimless on the top with a sort of bar and no frame around the first part of the side of the oval lense. The oval lenses are hard to see. I am hoping someone can help me find out a designer similar to this. I love the frames.
They are at http://www.jonathanlipnicki.com/tri002 and http://www.jonathanlipnicki/tri005

It's a question of purpose, surely? The object of posting here is to contribute something to the community. I don't consider negativity to contribute anything, anywhere. As this thread is "actors" then I think the purpose is fairly clear. Dribble, dribble. (mop, mop)
Mark 19 May 2004, 20:35
I rather like Electra's "dribble" as you put it. She at least has the gumption to post under a consistent identity. But by all means, thanks for sharing. Next.
guest 19 May 2004, 18:01
'bout time this place hotted up! Alittle scuffle here and there has to be better than putting up with Electra's dribble spreading over this way of life like an incurable cancer!
Helen 19 May 2004, 14:22
241 & anonymous poster, I am entitled to post about Ben Affleck without having to put up with your cheap and nasty comments.
Helen 19 May 2004, 14:12
Electra, I love those screenshots from "Paycheck", thank you for doing them.
19 May 2004, 10:27
ooops i did it again...Britney.
19 May 2004, 09:57
oops......britney
19 May 2004, 09:56
Btirnay spears.....do me a favor
do you trust a "singer " or a religion which is an anagram of each other ?
Electra 19 May 2004, 09:47
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but we all keep politely quiet when the gentlemen lust over the zero-talent bespectacled bimbos like Britney Spears, so just can it. Thank you.
19 May 2004, 09:32
I think 241 is proboably right
Electra 19 May 2004, 09:31
No. Ben Affleck is a very talented actor actually. Watch some of his many excellent movies. He can't help being that good-looking, it's just genetics.
Electra 19 May 2004, 09:29
And here's today's other cardiac exercise:
http://www.geocities.com/electra_the_migfetish_lady/rodrigosantoro.html
241 19 May 2004, 09:20
Isn't Ben Afleck just someone being promoted by a lot of Hollywood studio / media hype & $$$$?
Electra 19 May 2004, 09:16
And Helen, you may need a cold shower after this:
http://www.geocities.com/electra_the_migfetish_lady/paycheck.html
Helen 18 May 2004, 11:08
Ben Affleck in the first ten minutes or so of "Paycheck". Need I say more? I am just going to take a very cold shower and say five Hail Marys for the wicked thoughts in my head.
royboy 17 May 2004, 23:29
hey sue --- thanx for hookin me up with that pic ---- oh he is s-o-o-o delicious --- i downloaded and launched my trusty photoshop --- enlarging as much as i could --- hard to tell --- he could be wearing planos for effect --- if there is a script in them it seems miniscule --- so what do u think? by the way how did u discvr that site --- r u also madly in luv wi ma' man [and of course his genuis rap]?
Sue 16 May 2004, 20:29
royboy--
Do an image search on Google for "joedirtpre" to see a pic of Eminem at a film premiere. Looks like definite minus to me.
royboy 16 May 2004, 20:16
oh electra sweetie --- pretty please let us know when you post my man EMINEMs pix ---- havent ever caught a good frontal view of his spex to tell whether plus or minus. can't wait to see the pix!!!
Electra 16 May 2004, 19:35
Oh, I'll have to go check that out Guest, thanks!
Guest 16 May 2004, 18:16
Why has noone ever mentioned woody Harrelson - Indecent proposal?? OOhhh that body, those white calvins and those plus 3 spex!!!!!
Electra 16 May 2004, 15:15
OK martin, I admit, I'm a bit unsure about this. What exactly is it that you are looking for in the story?
martin 16 May 2004, 03:09
electra - can't wait for more stories! especially one about a cute -7 guy who loses his glasses...
Julian 15 May 2004, 08:05
So you did. I read it and tidied up the mailbox - and then the ******* computer froze up! Just as well I'd saved my other work.
Love and kisses, Jules.
Electra 15 May 2004, 07:10
Yes darling, and I've sent you a nice long reply!
Julian 15 May 2004, 06:45
OK Electra, it's work - don't I know the feeling? Just wondered if you got the email I sent on Monday.
Love and kisses, Jules.
Electra 15 May 2004, 06:26
My website will be updated when my current project at work slows down. Just lately whenever I get some time to kickback I've been wanting to do lazy stuff like chat, but don't worry, nothing lasts forever!
Electra 15 May 2004, 06:25
I've been given a few already, LOL, searching for people I've never heard of. But I'm game for anything, go on, I'll give it my best shot!
Fred 15 May 2004, 01:26
Hi Electra,
Would you like a challenge?
guest#8 14 May 2004, 10:43
Hi Electra: Thank you, I have a question, I know you are very busy, always adding and improving your wonderful site. So the q, is what is happening with your stories, it seems there hasn't been any updates in quite awhile on the boy next door...just wondering. Once again thanks.
Electra 14 May 2004, 05:57
Yes, I have a few glasses pics of Eminem ready to go up, it's just getting round to it.
Gale Harold has the right sort of eyes. I'll put him on athe Please God page.
guest#8 13 May 2004, 22:14
royboy
I so agree I love Eminem's bod, he is so sexy and talented..His eyes are beautiful. His abs are fab...I could go on forever. I wonder if electra would put him up on her site.
Does any one know if Gale Harold wears specs?
JJ 13 May 2004, 21:55
Electra: I was forbidden access to Matthew too but found if I copied and pasted it worked.
royboy 13 May 2004, 21:47
i always catch a glimpse in videos of my man EMINEM [marshall mathers] wearing glasses -on ocassion-- my gut says a low minus --- does anyone here know for sure? he is so hot with or without his glasses. never-the-less i would luv to know....
Julian 13 May 2004, 10:53
Try pasting the URLs.
Love and kisses, Jules.
Electra 13 May 2004, 09:18
I was forbidden access to Matthew!
Yes, that's a nice shot of Johnny, although I didn't like his hair like that really, too conservative, too "preppy". JD's appeal lies in his wonderfully rebellious sense of style, but the man is so damn hot he doesn't ever look bad no matter what he does - with one exception. This may shock you. You really don't want to see him squint, odd, but there it is. On most guys it's sexy but the hottest man on Earth's face folds up like a camp chair when he squints. Weird huh?

bruin, it suddenly occurs to me you may not have this:
http://www.geocities.com/electra_the_migfetish_lady
Electra 07 May 2004, 14:29
On my site I have Raji James and I seem to remember he's on a Brit soap isn't he? I have more pics of him to put up if he's on your list.
bruin 07 May 2004, 14:25
anyone have pics of any spexy and sexy actors especially from coronation street, eastenders etc..
Electra 06 May 2004, 06:41
Haven't seen that. I dug deeper and found some pics (and got sent some too, thanks guys). I think his hair puts me off in a lot of those pics, the whole GI Joe crew cut thing. Well now we know how much I know about sport anyway.......(zero)
Helen 03 May 2004, 10:32
Howie Long was in "Broken Arrow". He played the part of 'Msgt. Kelly'.
03 May 2004, 01:37
Hi Electra: Thankyou for your consideration. Dr. Drew Pinskey is his last name. He always goes by Dr. drew. He is on The Love Line with Adam Corolla. If you do a google search on him, many pics. should come up. Howie Long is an athlete. He used to play for the Raiders. He is doing commercials rite now, for Sprint or some kind of phone co. He also is a sports commentator during football season. I hope that helps.
Electra 02 May 2004, 05:31
Actually I am willing to add those who don't appeal to me (already have, quite a few), within reason, so long as I can find the relevant pictures. I've never heard of either of these gentlemen, so can you point me to some pics?
02 May 2004, 01:25
Hi Electra: I was just wondering what would you say about adding Dr. Drew to your celeb site? He's verrry handsome, intelligent,and he has the sexiest voice. What about Howie Long?
Electra 01 May 2004, 04:55
Oh yes, a moderate minus, but I thought you guys wanted the exact Rx? I've sent an e-mail to a buddy who lives near the museum in Liverpool where there's a pair on display with full details. We talked about this some years ago and he was going to go check for me then, never got around to it, but hopefully this time he will.
Tommy 30 Apr 2004, 20:54
Electra, another Rx question. In one of the Beatle's old TV clips, one is holding his glasses as though he will put them on soon and can't see much without them, perhaps a moderate minus?Any idea of the Rx? Thanks
Electra 30 Apr 2004, 12:42
Actually I can get that exact information for you if you'll give me a few days.
Selma 30 Apr 2004, 12:04
Electra,
What do you estimate the late John Lennon's RX to be?
Electra 19 Apr 2004, 12:21
Can you tell me what he's in? Google didn't give me any hits at all.
Morghetta 19 Apr 2004, 12:05
Electra,
How about pics of Sam Teakins?
Electra 18 Apr 2004, 12:42
You may miss my point right at the bottom of that, so:
If you go to Wire Images now there are no pics of Colin Firth in glasses, and none to be found anywhere else on the planet. Spooky.
Electra 18 Apr 2004, 12:41
I'd like to report a specensoring. Yes, this is serious. Back in November the following exchange occurred on this very page:
Shelly 19 Nov 2003, 14:33
He does not wear glasses in the movie.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
19 Nov 2003, 14:32
looking at the variety of shots on that page, i'd imagine that his are props rather than prescribed glasses. why else would pics of him in specs be concentrated in the 'love actually' section?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
shelly 19 Nov 2003, 14:23
COLIN FIRTH PICS, DOES ANYONE THINK THAT THEY COULD GIVE ME AND INFORMATION ABOUT HIS SPECS?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shelly 17 Nov 2003, 20:06
Can anyone tell me if Colin Firth (Love Actually, Bridget Jones's Diary)recently started wearing glasses. I was watching "Behind the Scenes" of Love Actually (E! Television), and in some of the press junket clips he is sporting the specs.
If you go to Wire Images now there are no pics of Colin Firth in glasses, and none to be found anywhere else on the planet. Spooky.
Electra 17 Apr 2004, 16:20
Someone, somewhere, was it here or elsewhere, I can't remember, told me to look out for Adrian Paul in glasses. Anyway, I found him, just the one pic, but better than nothing, so it's up on the Actors page at my site.
Electra 10 Apr 2004, 05:20
My first thought on Gary was "WHO?" but when I found a pic I recognized him. No glasses pics have come to light so far.
Many thanks for the Sheen links!
Melange' 09 Apr 2004, 14:24
And how about Gary Sinise?

Melange' 09 Apr 2004, 13:50
Electra,
Plenty of Carson with glasses pix here:
http://www.carsondaly.lookscute.com/
I'll look for Duhamel
Electra 09 Apr 2004, 13:29
Josh does? Why, that's great news! I can't find any photos, any leads there?
I'm not having any luck with Carson either, but you said that so matter-of-factly, you sound like you know what you're talking about.
I'll search hard for both, but may need help here!
Melange' 09 Apr 2004, 13:10
Josh Duhamel wears glasses when not on camera. Electra, how 'bout Carson Daly -- moderately high minus.
Electra 08 Apr 2004, 03:42
Sydney: Yep, I know, I know, I find plenty of verbal teasers, NEVER any photos. It's enough to drive a woman crazy. Not too sure why the Clark Kent look is so popular mind you, but we can't have it all ways.
Sydneycider 07 Apr 2004, 21:13
Found this on a 'friends' site pity there wasn't any pics!
As we head to the car,(Matt) LeBlanc puts on his glasses, which make him look like Clark Kent. When he notices my smile, he says, "The most amazing thing about getting famous is this: "When I was broke and couldn't afford anything, nobody gave a shit. Now that I have some money, Ray Ban sends me dozens of pairs of glasses. They even put my prescription in. Is that the craziest thing? If you need a pair of sunglasses, just give me a call."

Electra 21 Mar 2004, 10:32
Russell: Actually I'll buy gay mags if they have pics in that I like. Share and share alike and all that. Macauly is 23 now, so although I could easily be his mother, I don't have any real problem with that age. He's not really my "type", but I'd put him up, no worries. Could you scan the pic for me?
Electra 21 Mar 2004, 10:28
Jules: Try also http://www.imlimages.gr
you need to register but it's free and then the search and zoom works.
Electra 21 Mar 2004, 10:26
Well that just won't do Jules! There are a lot of pics you can zoom in on for free there, have you tried the
http://editorial.gettyimages.com URL? Should take you straight to the search box, and I used this spelling - "ewan mcgregor glasses". I think Macgregor is correct, but this gave me the goods.
Julian 21 Mar 2004, 09:40
Gosh, Electra! I had no luck with Getty images, but tried Rex Features - only thumbnails these days ::( - but Ewan is wearing glasses in 28 of the 30 newest shots, with his kilt in 19 of them! These are not the frames we used to see; and in several full face shots his eyes seem to be magnified - strongish plus lenses in other words, and pretty frequent if not constant wear.
Love and kisses, Jules.
Russell 21 Mar 2004, 09:15
Electra...he is barely a man yet, but Macaulay Culkin is wearing glasses in a photo in this month's issue of Instinct Magazine, a gay men's mag. You probably don't have access to the mag and you probably don't care about Culkin, but I thought I'd mention it, if only to add another person to your list.
Electra 20 Mar 2004, 15:57
So. I've started putting up the new version of my celebrities area, and it has been beta tested by my trusted inner circle. Now, when you click on the celebs page you get a choice of actors, musicians, lost to LASIK, and "Please God". Only the Actors page has much on it yet, but I'm working on it all the time. These pages have thumbnails of those beautiful men in glasses, and gradually each man, assuming I have more than one photo, will have a whole page dedicated to his eyeswear and associated....stuff. Because I'm so nice I am now including men that do do much for me personally, because who else other than good ol' Electra is going to do this for you? In return you are all going to send me pics for the site, aren't you? I still need some that are supposedly easy to find but I sure as hell can't find find them. I've had 5 people tell me they've seen Mel Gibson in glasses in magazines, so will one of you please dig deeply, thank you!
http://www.geocities.com/electra_the_migfetish_lady
Electra 18 Mar 2004, 14:02
Just go to Getty images and type in "Ewan Mcgregor glasses" and the kilt comes free!
Julian 18 Mar 2004, 13:21
Ewan looks good in his glasses (of course!) even if they are a bit National health looking. He also looks really good in his MacGregor tartan kilt. Is it crying for the moon to wish he's be photgraphed wearing both at once?
Love and kisses, Jules.
Electra 18 Mar 2004, 12:59
When I started my site I only put up men that I personally thought were really hot, then I included some "sos-so, but look good in glasses" because proves my point. Then I got begged to include some that I thought were quite plain, and eventually got goaded into "by request" pics. The thing is, my site is becoming really popular and I am trying to please. I think I reached the bottom of the barrel agreeing to put up Clay Aiken. I have other objections to Marc Anthony, but, no he's not my type at all. But glasses is glasses, you know.......sometimes you just have to swallow hard.
Anyway, on the new celebs page I'll give them all a score and put some sort of symbol up next to my favorites!
18 Mar 2004, 11:19
Electra, really must it be Marc Anthony? He is just soooooo gross!! He reminds me of an earthworm. oh well, I know you aim to please *all* of your fans.
Ewanfan 18 Mar 2004, 10:35
Electra:
I'll keep searching my sources, but I think my best Ewan in specs pics are already posted. He always looks great in my opion so I trust your choice in which pics to include on your site :)
However, I came accross this pic, dont think Ive posted it before:
http://www.bestofewan.com/mar17/BoEM_kp01.jpg
Ewanfan 18 Mar 2004, 10:11
Electra:
A whole page for Ewan!! *drool* :)I can't wait to see the new site, from the sounds of it, it's going to be fantastic (especially with an entire page for Ewan)!!
As for pics...I think I've already posted my fav's, but I'll see what I can dig up :)
Electra 18 Mar 2004, 08:28
OK, I'm OK now. Yes, I will add him to my all-new Musicians page. But why does it have to be Marc Anthony, why, why, why.....................
Electra 18 Mar 2004, 08:27
AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH
Morley 18 Mar 2004, 07:55
Here's a cute one: Marc Anthony, the singer!!!!!!
Electra 18 Mar 2004, 04:45
Well this is why I rely on you guys to point them out to me! I've always liked him too, whaddya know. Delicious, quite delicious. Thanks Ewanfan! By the way, as I'm working on a whole page for Ewan himself on my site, do you have any favorite pics you want on there?
Ewanfan 17 Mar 2004, 14:09

Electra 15 Mar 2004, 11:43
Took me a while to find Fisher, IMDB has him as a black shape with a question mark! I'm working on a completely new version of celebrities page, so I'll save him for that.

Electra 14 Mar 2004, 10:53
Heads up for those of you with extra fetishes.
Trustworthy sources tell me that those of you into glasses AND orthodontics should be running out the door to Secret Window. Can't say more as apparently it's a plot spoiler, haven't seen it myself yet so I'm not reading the rest of the e-mail!
Electra 12 Mar 2004, 20:55
Tommy: Many thanks. I tried to get to Secret Window tonight but it never happened - sometime over the weekend. Johnny is a mystery........Read the messages at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/johnnydeppsglasses/ (it's a "hobby" of mine)
Tommy 12 Mar 2004, 20:10
Fri. March 12 NYT, full page add for new Johnny Depp movie, glasses do not show minus rings but are somewhat thick, extending beyond frame at front and back. In review, same NYT, a photo from the film wearing glasses which do not show any strength. Is he wearing contacts for the film?
Tommy 12 Mar 2004, 10:45
Johnny Depp on Today Show this morning, Friday March 12, no glasses, could not spot contacts but must have been wearing them as I think he has a moderate minus Rx. I notice in ad for his new film he is wearing glasses.
Electra 12 Mar 2004, 05:54
......but could he do something with his hair?
Electra 12 Mar 2004, 05:51
Oh well done - great find! He's wearing them more and more, good man. We need him to have a word in the ear of other, shyer celebrities.
Ewanfan 11 Mar 2004, 11:07
YIKES!! the last 4 are linking to the main website..so....click news and scroll down til u see the pics from the dec 16 variety screenings...SO WORTH IT!! Check it out!!

Hi,
get the program "POWER DVD" e.g., with this you can easily make screen shots (as there is an own icon on the toolbar)
greez
Electra 08 Mar 2004, 06:49
Can't think which thread to post this in, but I'm hoping those of you who read this will know what the hell I'm talking about.
OK, some time ago someone here, somewhere told me that all I needed to watch DVD's on my computer was a DVD-ROM drive. I bought one. My boyfriend installed it competantly for me. I can watch movies on my computer just fine. They look great.
BUT.........
I can't do screen captures. And that was what I wanted it for. To grab pics off the movies of characters in glasses to put up on my site. It doesn't work. Here's what happens.
I pause the movie at the right place. I hit "Print Screen". Then I paste that as a new image into Paint Shop Pro. I save it any which way (I've tried .psp, .jpg, .bmp) and if I open it again right there and then (movie still running) I see what I saved. BUT. If I close the movie and open the saved image, all I get is a picture of the blue viewer frame with the controls at the bottom, and a BLACK screen!
What step did I miss? What am I doing wrong? Is there some other software I need?
Electra 02 Mar 2004, 04:10
I went to buy Spy Kids, picked up the wrong one, and delighted myself. I got Spy Kids 2 instead of 3 (I carry a blonde gene) and found one delicious scene of Banderas in rimless readers. If you like him, or even if you don't, well........I still haven't recovered.
Sis 02 Mar 2004, 01:32
What's facinating about William Petersen is his football legs - born on a horse....?
But I agree - a bit mature for my taste aswell...

If you love me, and I know you do, can you save me some angst. I am being driven crazy trying to find pics of Mel Gibson and John Travolta in glasses. I know they exist, but I can't track them down.
Electra 01 Mar 2004, 08:39
Yeah, William Petersen used to be quite nice to watch, years ago, but he hasn't matured the way I like them to. Just one of those things.
Did anyone notice Alec Baldwin had glasses in his hand when he was being climbed over by Billy Bush last night? Obviously readers. Does anyone have pics?
Kix 29 Feb 2004, 19:03
I tried looking for pictures of George Eads wearing glasses online-no luck. But there are load of pictures of his CSI co-star William Pedersen wearing glasses online-I think they are low plus. He doesn't do as much for me(he's a little on the, well, mature side for me) but he does have a kind of sex appeal and I love that you can count on him regularly wearing glasses on the show.
Electra 29 Feb 2004, 13:16
Yeah, that was "Two Much". I've been trying to obtain it a long time.......
Russell 29 Feb 2004, 08:23
Banderas also wore glasses in a comedy he did some years ago with wife Melanie Griffith. He played twins. I don't recall the name of the film.
29 Feb 2004, 08:16
Electra 29 Feb 2004, 06:18
Yeah, I just saw the Spy Kids trailer yesterday, caught the glasses, and as much as it pains me to be buying a kids' movie I'm going to have to. Banderas is one of my favorites.........(I think he's about #5, but it varies!)
Sis 28 Feb 2004, 16:43
Oh! I forgot...
My kids got the movie Spy Kids 2 on video. Antonio Banderas as the dad - with glasses - you should see it!!!
Sis 28 Feb 2004, 16:35
Hi!
I've also seen George Eads in CSI and in the movie you mentioned. The glasses in the movie and the sunglasses he is wearing in CSI look like a low pluss - I think.
Electra 28 Feb 2004, 15:21
"Just a Walk in the Park"....I'll ivestigate, yes, he's cute.
Kix 28 Feb 2004, 09:41
Electra,
I'm glad you liked the In Style picutres. Another actor who I am curious about is George Eads from CSI. He was in a tv movie last year where he wore glasses though they may have been plano but I have also seen shots of him at awards shows and publicity events for CSI where he was wearing tinted shades that looked to have a low - perscription. He's kind of a cutie anyway.
Electra 28 Feb 2004, 05:53
By the way, I got In Style and I'm drooling over it as I type. The good news for Ben fans is that I've amassed quite a collection of pics of him in glasses now, some are up at the Yahoo group attached to me site, others will be going up on the site itself with the celeb page revamp. God Bless the Pararazzi.
Electra 28 Feb 2004, 05:51
As usual, I had to go look him up.......yes, he has very interesting eyes! He can most certainly go on the Please God list. Both that page and the Celebrities page will be re-vamped as soon as I've finished decorating my bathroom. So watch this space for news. Meanwhile anyone who has a few moments to spare, please check out my site to see which celebs we DON'T yet have glasses pics for, I need all the help I can get here.

Electra
I'm making an official request for Cameron Mathison to be on your celebs list. Although he may have to be put on the PLEASE GOD list. As i am not sure if he is in need of correction or not. He does have a serious squint though!!So I am really hoping....
Quizgrl2 21 Feb 2004, 11:55
Electra
Thankyou, Told you he was good
Electra 21 Feb 2004, 11:36
Thanks, I'll grab that pronto. Only, I had been given a British one before by a friend who travels, and wasn't sure if I'd have to send her on a mission!
Kix 21 Feb 2004, 09:20
Electra
It's the US version of the magazine and the Kyle picture is in a story about the Sundance Film Festival and the Ben picture is is an article about Oscar winners. If it's not on the website yet, I know the magazine was on newsstands as of Wednesday this week at least in the US.
Electra 21 Feb 2004, 01:27
Kix: I checked the website and there appear to be several editions of In Style, which country did you obtain it in?
Kix 20 Feb 2004, 22:35
A couple of things in this month's In Style magazine (with Uma Thurman on the cover). The first is a small picture of Kyle MacLachlan wearing oval wire rims and making going gray look downright sexy (page 338). The second is more of a non-sighting, Ben Afflect with his black rimmed glasses on the table next to him (page 436). I don't know if either of the pictures is accessible on the magazine's website but worth flipping to-especially the one of MacLachlan-if you happen to see the magazine.
Electra 19 Feb 2004, 05:37
Yes Josh Duhamel's not bad is he? I'll put him on the Please God page, and you guys can all pray HARD.
Electra 18 Feb 2004, 05:42
Russell, sorry it's my fan club, LOL! Wurm, can I have my own thread?
Electra 18 Feb 2004, 05:41
I'll have to look him up, I'll be back........
Quizgrl2 18 Feb 2004, 01:25
Electra
I have a suggestion for your celebs. portion of your site. Josh Duhamel i don't know if he wears specs or not,but it would be a blessing to all of womankind if he did (I believe he's well over 6 feet tall) What do you think?
Jedediah 17 Feb 2004, 21:34
Russell: no.
Russell 17 Feb 2004, 06:51
Can we get back to discussing actors on this thread?
MVIII 17 Feb 2004, 06:04
I agree with Electra, her male characters are sensitive, in a positive way.
Julian 17 Feb 2004, 03:19
David? wimpy? Oh, definitely not!
Love and kisses, Jules.
Quizgrl2 17 Feb 2004, 02:21
Oh, one last thought. Wimpy I think not!
Quizgrl2 17 Feb 2004, 02:20
Electra, i've just read Jewels. All i can say is WOW!
Julian 16 Feb 2004, 22:34
But what I ought to have added is that that is no kind of criticism: I love all the stories and eagerly await further instalments!
Love and kisses, Jules.
Julian 16 Feb 2004, 22:32
Sensitive? wimpy? It's a delicate distinction. <g> Electra you called Scott a wuss in the text, and I guess that's not all that different from a wimp, and Josh is pretty wimpy too. Dean? Well... The delicious Italian waiter we can't comment on yet. Nathan definitely not, nor Tony. And Ten is just gorgeous, given the slightest enouragement I'd bed him like a shot ::)
Love and kisses, Jules.
Mnyclip 16 Feb 2004, 15:32
Electra
yes. I am male. I hope you didn't take ofense to my observation. I understand these are sensitive male characters that are geared toward women. I was just wondring. so I will shutup about this matter now. Hale to The queen, you are amazing
Sis 16 Feb 2004, 14:41
Hey Electra!
The ninth gate was on norwegian tv tonight, Jonny Depp at his best - glasses and all. - I think I've seen it five times - never tired.
Electra 16 Feb 2004, 11:44
Here's a thought, are YOU male or female? That might make a difference on how you see it. See, there was me thinking they were sensitive in a good way. Hmm.
Electra 16 Feb 2004, 11:43
Well, I guess that's what you get from a woman trying to write about men......and, I ought to say, I tend to use characters, well, personalities anyway, from men I've known (and loved). Maybe I go for wimpy men. That demands consideration!
Mnyclip 15 Feb 2004, 11:42
Electra
I just read Melting Sand and Late One Night. They both are very promising. Melting Sand the male character seems to be stronger in his demeanor than your other male charaters. To answer your question, yes, I think most of the male characters are wimpy. Looking forward to the next installments.
Electra 15 Feb 2004, 05:02
Thank you, and that's interesting. Wimpy huh? Do you think they all are or just some of them? I value constructive criticism so I'll certainly take that into consideration.
Mnyclip 14 Feb 2004, 15:34
Electra,
Just visited your site and loved it. EyeScene should put yours up as a direct link. It's one of the best out there . Love the fact that you are asking others for input and help. Only question is re: your stories. they are wonderful and I know you are catering to the female perspective, but why are the guys so wimpy??? It's like they're in a parent child relationship. Don't get me wrong, like i said i really enjoy them just wondering. Keep up the good work
Electra 14 Feb 2004, 10:36
I'm sorry harry, I didn't mean to imply I'd found glasses pics, I just found...pics. Someone told me to look up "westlife" so I did.....that's what I got. It occurred to me that I could Google for a month and not really achieve anything hence why I'm seeking help! I've never heard of them, and I don't know where to start.
harry 14 Feb 2004, 09:50
i don't see any glasses pictures maybe i'm missing someting what photo did you see electra
Electra 14 Feb 2004, 06:42
This was what I found:
I really need some help here, as I'm not familiar with this band at all.
http://images.google.com/images?sourceid=navclient&q=westlife
harry 14 Feb 2004, 05:53
Can i see the photos please electra
Electra 12 Feb 2004, 16:04
Thanks Harry, I found several pics on-line but nothing that made a lot of sense........
Harry 12 Feb 2004, 14:06
Electra,
If you go to the musicians thread, someone called specsy has 20 photos of all westlife boys wearing glasses ask him/her for the photos
Electra 10 Feb 2004, 03:50
OK, I look up Patrick, he passes muster, I'll put him up with that picture, but does anyone have one of him WEARING them?
Electra 10 Feb 2004, 03:46
Kurt is already on my page, but I'll add this to my recommended movie list, but UGH the hair! I mean UGH!
me2 09 Feb 2004, 12:00
from the new movie miracle Kurt Russel is shown many times taking on and off some plus lenses, and Patrick O'Brien Demsey from the movie is shown in this pic with some glasses tucked in his shirt.
http://www.hollywood.com/celebs/detail/celeb/1716135
Electra 08 Feb 2004, 15:08
OK, everyone gather round and watch, this is me smacking myself over the head with a baseball bat ! ! ! ! ! !
Of course I know who David Boreanaz is, or at least I know who his CHARACTER is.........geez, sometimes I really really wonder if I should have been born blond. Pics found and I'll put him up forthwith.
David has "those eyes" which add fuel to my theory as to why so many handsome men wear glasses. Basically it goes like this: It's not exactly a coincidence that we find so many gorgeous men in glasses - more that the eye shape that women find most attractive also happens to be prone to eye problems. It's not exactly cause and effect either, it's parallel. I've tested this theory out so many times, and I'm hardly ever wrong.
I found the pic I needed for Adam too and will put him up, even though he has huge ears. Why is his face so familiar.......
Electra 08 Feb 2004, 14:53
Not familiar with either guy, but I'll look them up, thanks!
08 Feb 2004, 12:37
Electra, how about David Boreanaz, quite a few snaps of hin in tinted glasses around, some of them are shades, but others are clearly prescription, definate cut in. Aussie Actor/musical theatre star Adam Garcia looks great in his glasses and he wears them quite a lot.
Electra 08 Feb 2004, 05:32
Harry: I'll try. I may have to get a younger assistant on that one. I'll keep you posted. If you have any pics to offer, I'd be grateful:)
Electra 08 Feb 2004, 05:27
OK Sis, that'll do for now. If you find more let me know (here is fine, I virtually have this BBS open 24/7) or e-mail:
electra_the_migfetish_lady@yahoo.com
If anyone else wants to help, you know where I am, and a quick look at me celebs and news pages will show you what I need!
Harry 08 Feb 2004, 01:59
How about photos of the linkin park, westlife, bsb, and *nsync boys wearing glasses
Sis 07 Feb 2004, 16:10
I found one here - it may be a role -picture, but I think it looks quite authentic.
http://www.moviehabit.com/reviews/man_jq02.shtml
Sis 07 Feb 2004, 16:01
I know I've seen pics of Andy Garcia, I've tried to look for them again - no luck, so far..
Electra 07 Feb 2004, 11:15
I've added Weatherly. Total of 46 celebs up, but I need some more pics.
Electra 07 Feb 2004, 10:18
(Returned from Googling expedition)OK.......Michael Weatherly is...... delicious. How did I miss him in my life?
Andy Garcia isn't bad either but I can't find any glasses pics. Help.
Charlie Sheen will pass muster, but again, I'll need help with the pics.
Electra 07 Feb 2004, 10:06
Sis: I'm really sorry, I've only just seen the comments about Charlie Sheen etc. I'll add them to my notes, do you have any photos to share?
Russell 31 Jan 2004, 10:38
Thanks!
Electra 30 Jan 2004, 13:30
It means it's popular:) Because it's a free website the amount of data (that is files, which means anything you look at, not just pictures you save) allowed to be transferred from the site is limited. I can stop this from happening if I'm willing to pay. It's not much, under $10 a month actually, but I haven't rushed to cough up. The solution is to go back to the site an hour later. I'm sorry about that.
Russell 30 Jan 2004, 13:18
Electra...each time I have tried to visit your site--both today and last week--I get the following message: "The web site you are trying to access has exceeded its allocated data transfer." Do you (or anyone else) know what this means?
Electra 30 Jan 2004, 11:36
By the way, I still need more offers of pics. You'll see I've been sent quite a few, my celebs page grows ever longer
http://www.geocities.com/electra_the_migfetish_lady/index.html
But you'll also see some pics are rather small or not very good, and in my News section there's a list I need help with.
I just know that between you you can find these for me, how about that for a weekend challenge? Kiss kiss?
Electra 30 Jan 2004, 11:33
God bless you! I really appreciate this kind of help!
Ewanfan 30 Jan 2004, 10:45
Electra- Here are some jimmy fallon pics (in specs, of course). I heard you were looking...

I think you remember him if you try - The Untouchables, Internal Affairs and The Godfather Part III, Black Rain, When a Man Loves a Woman, Oceans Eleven..........
Sis 30 Jan 2004, 01:23
I mean Andy Garcia !
Julian 29 Jan 2004, 23:12
Sis: do you mean *Adam* Garcia, or is there yet another actor I haven't heard of?
Love and kisses, Jules.
Sis 29 Jan 2004, 16:16
- and that guy from Dark Angel - Michael Weatherly - he must be good enough for you?
Sis 29 Jan 2004, 16:13
Well, I forgot Charlie Sheen - he should be there too - in my opinion...
Sis 29 Jan 2004, 15:45
Hi Electra!
I visit your Celeberties site as often as I can.
There is one myopic actor missing on your list: Andy Garcia - he would get points on my list (maybe not 10, but...)
searcher 26 Jan 2004, 21:59
What kind of eyeglasses has Ewan Mcgregor been wearing lately.
They are the ones with the black thick frames.
Electra 26 Jan 2004, 06:36
Hope you all caught the Golden Globe Awards last night. There were no glasses surprises, but plenty of beautiful things to look at anyway. Richard Gere was magnificent. He just takes my breath away. For Johnny Depp fans like me there were precious glimpses too - I found this posted on EZboard, a great resource with search engines:
http://www.johnnydeppweb.com/gallery/categories.php?cat_id=100&page=2
Oscars soon!
Thanks you for the info re: Matthew Perry. That'll teach me to watch the newtworks more often I guess. And Jonathan, I really appreciate you giving me more tasks, LOL! but did you see my question about the first list? I really need some help. Still, I'm happy hunting.
Jeffy 25 Jan 2004, 19:49
The Chandler character on Friends got glasses three seasons ago - in the season right after he and Monica got engaged. Since then he's worn glasses in almost all episodes, but only in about half his scenes in each.
In the episode where he gets glasses he expects the other friends to comment on them, but they all think he's worn glasses all along.
There was also one 2-part episode a couple seasons prior to that where he wore glasses. It was about what would have happened if each of the friends had made different decsions in their lives. In it he was Joey's personal assistant and an aspiring comic book wrtier, and was much more nerdy. Apparently that version of his life would have meant he'd have needed glasses earlier?
As you can probably tell, I'm a huge fan of Matthew Perry in glasses.
Jonathan 25 Jan 2004, 19:23
Kelsey Grammer?
Ted Danson?
Michael J. Fox?
Charlie Sheen?
Oh, by the way, Matthew Perry wears glasses in quite a few episodes of friends. Mostly small ovals and rimless.
Electra 25 Jan 2004, 06:09
Thanks dear! I've actually found a myopic singer now so my celebrities page will no longer be all actors, but the gentleman in question is ALSO an actor - hey ho.......any Harry Connick Jr fans out there?
ANY PHOTOS FOR ME?
Sis 24 Jan 2004, 17:30
Love your actors site, Electra!!!!!!!!
Electra 24 Jan 2004, 14:00
Update on my site includes several more yummy actors in glasses, including Ben Affleck.
I'm still not having much luck with finding those below [points down] and for Rob Lowe all I can find is thumbnails. Can anyone help? That man is too hot [fans self]
Any other hot actors in glasses, URL's or photos you can send me? The site is building nicely, thanks to all who are helping!
http://www.geocities.com/electra_the_migfetish_lady
Electra 16 Jan 2004, 08:32
Oh boy Jonathan, you've really given me some work here! Do you have any photos of any of these guys in glasses, because I'm not having any luck! However it seems that Rob Lowe (who I did at least recognize when I found him!) is popular in glasses, to whit:
http://www.geocities.com/wwwhores/usquotes.html
Electra 16 Jan 2004, 00:11
Nothing whatsoever on Google for Corey Mcarthur, more details?
Electra 16 Jan 2004, 00:07
IMDB is giving me possible 3 choices of actors named John Davidson, none of whom have a picture. Can you tell me what he's been in?
Jonathan 15 Jan 2004, 14:28
John Davidson?
Dweezil Zappa?
Jimmy Fallon?
Corey McArthur?
Mel Gibson?
Mark Harmon?
Rob Lowe?
Electra 14 Jan 2004, 07:24
Right then ya'll, I've got 21 actors in glasses on my new site, and will add more when I can.
http://www.geocities.com/electra_the_migfetish_lady
If anyone wants me to add someone, please help me out by supplying the picture! It takes a lot of Googling to find them. You can e-mail me at electra_the_migfetish_lady@yahoo.com
Ewanfan 08 Jan 2004, 18:46
For Adam Garcia:
go to http://www.adamgarcia.net/
click on "shows", then "Fever", then check out the "fan galeries".
Ewanfan 08 Jan 2004, 18:35
Hey, so I haven't posted in a while, but I've been lurking...
Great site Julian, muchly enjoyed. I must say those Ewan pics look strikingly similar to those I posted on the thread a while back...good choice, they're my fav!! :)
And to those asking about Adam Garcia, just do a search and his official site should come up. There are tons of glasses pics on it. I'll try to post some, actually I believe I have a while back...I'll have to check...
Julian 08 Jan 2004, 10:10
Electra: you have mail...or soon will.
Love and kisses, Jules.
Electra 08 Jan 2004, 09:13
Oh Julian....why didn't you tell me about this site before....I'm just a melting heap on the rug now......mind if I put a link to this on my new site? I mention some of these celebs so rather than repeat the pics...you know?
Julian 07 Jan 2004, 22:38
As for Ewan McGregor, there are times when he seems to wear his 'reading glasses' for a lot more than reading - but he's not alone in that. He's on the site I just mentioned.
Love and kisses, Jules.
Julian 07 Jan 2004, 22:35
For Elijah Wood, go to http://www.celebswithglasses.da.ru/ and click on 'Julian's Boys with Glasses'. Every known photo of Lij in glasses is there, except one. But the best one shows him at about 14, and even then they look like a contact wearer's stand-bys. This boy has been myopic a long, long time.
Love and kisses, Jules.
D-W-V 07 Jan 2004, 21:11
Either a DVDROM or DVDRW will still function fine for CDROMs or audio CDs, so you don't need to keep your current CDROM drive. If you have a CD writer, most DVD writers also write CDRs and CDRWs.
D-W-V 07 Jan 2004, 21:07
DVDROM drives can be under $40 U.S.: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/category/category_slc.asp?CatId=88
I'd choose one that included a legit copy of WinDVD or PowerDVD, since those programs sell for around $40 separately. It might be wise to spend more and get a DVD+/-RW writer instead, now that they're into the $100 range. I'd lean towards getting one that supported both the + and - formats for maximum compatibility. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Category/category_tlc.asp?CatId=4
http://www.newegg.com is another reputable vendor.
Electra 07 Jan 2004, 20:00
I only have the standard CD-ROM drive, I assume I need another one? Because a number of my DVDs have "bonus features on DVD-ROM" written on them, and they refuse to play on my computer.
D-W-V 07 Jan 2004, 18:16
Electra:
The easiest way to do screen captures is to play the DVD on your computer (if you have a DVD drive); most playback programs include the ability to grab a screenshot. Using WinDVD, for example, hitting the "P" key will save a bmp of the screen.
07 Jan 2004, 10:27
Electra (again, sorry) 07 Jan 2004, 07:36
Those of you who've discovered Rodrigo, and anyone left who hasn't (you live in a cave maybe?) here's some comments on the IMDB messageboard, including some (very positive) glasses comments:

Electra 07 Jan 2004, 07:13
And finally then for this mass assault on my favourite thread in the world........ for those of you who've been following my Johnny Depp quest (pay attention Julian), here's one for you:
http://johnnydeppfan.com/ ("Our Latest Picture")
Electra 07 Jan 2004, 07:10
Jonathan: What's the question? Well, here are my answers anyway!
Paul Rudd? I had to look him up, the name wasn't familiar. The pictures I found did nothing for me. I found one of him in glasses, looks like a screenshot: http://www.realgoodmovies.com/stills/chateau_rudd_malco.jpg
Collin Ferrell? Ah, that's more like it! he wore glasses in Minority report and some here claim they were genuine. I've not been able to find any pictures.
Ewan McGregor? Easy! He even said "I wear reading glasses" in an interview. Wonderful smile...<slap>.....oh, yes here we go: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/arts/media/mcgregor.jpg
Adam Garcia? I had to look this one up too, not bad I suppose, big ears. Not really my type. I looked for pictures for you, no luck.
Robert Downey, Jr? Not usually all that appealing to me, don't know why, but this photo is lovely: http://img.yupimsn.com/canales/entretenimiento/temas/cumpleanos/robert-downey-jr.jpg
Elijah Wood? Far too Hobbity for me. Others can help you with glasses photos, they're rare.
Sean Astin? He's just chubby, sorry!
Electra 07 Jan 2004, 06:52
I knew he'd get you Julian. Isn't he divine? I can't find anything about him. I've tried and tried. it was a real Rx, no doubt about it. If I find anything I'll share. I obsess over the few photos I have of him, but there are none available it seems, of him in glasses. Now then, I'll buy the DVD when it comes out, does anyone know how to get screen captures? Do I need to buy a special video card (and/or other stuff?) for my computer, play it on my CD-ROM drive etc to do it? I'm willing.
The good thing is, he's young, and therefore will improve with age.......I hope his career blooms.
(swoon)
Julian 06 Jan 2004, 23:17
I finally managed to see 'Love Actually' last week and was bowled over by Rodrigo Santoro as Karl. Even bareyed he's a dream, and with those specs... My impression was that there was a real Rx there; I thought the left lens was low minus and the right low plus. Anybody agree? disagree? know if he wears glasses in real life?
Love and kisses, Jules.
Jonathan 06 Jan 2004, 21:26
Paul Rudd?
Collin Ferrell?
Ewan McGregor?
Adam Garcia?
Robert Downey, Jr?
Elijah Wood?
Sean Astin?
ajcrazycat 14 Dec 2003, 20:31
Does anyone know the brand of sunglasses that Sylvester Stallone wore in the movie "The Specialist"?
Electra 11 Dec 2003, 05:46
Thanks leelee, there's one there I didn't have. How dare they criticize him.........
leelee 10 Dec 2003, 16:07
Julian,
here ya go:

Electra 10 Dec 2003, 15:33
Oh darlin' I'm so sorry - do you have an e-mail adress I can send my collection to?
Julian 09 Dec 2003, 23:02
Electra, I spent ages when I ought to have been asleep looking at that Johnny Depp site and didn't find a single spexy pic of him. This morning I feel like death warmed up - but not so much warmed up ::(
Love and kisses, Jules.
Electra 09 Dec 2003, 15:49
Julian! So good to see you, I thought you'd deserted this thread! Yes, you MUSt see it. It's a good movie anyway (take a hankie) but Karl is divine...I mean just DIVINE. Did you ever have any luck guessing Johnny Depp's prescription for me? There are tons of photos of him in glasses at www.johnnydeppzone.com
You know I'll love you forever (in a sisterly way, bwah!) if you do this for me!
Sue 09 Dec 2003, 04:21
Isn't Ethan Embry in Timeline?
Julian 07 Dec 2003, 23:47
What a hunk, as you say Electra. I was just hoping for a shot of him in glasses, but... ::(
I have to see 'Love actually' though
Love and kisses, Jules.
Electra 07 Dec 2003, 18:10
Tom, I looked up Timeline on IMDB for you, and there's no names there that leap out at me. Obviously you've seen it, can you offer a character name or two?
Electra 07 Dec 2003, 18:07
Larry, I'm guessing you're thinking of Karl. He made me sit up and look too! Karl is played by a Brazilian actor, Rodrigo Santoro. He's 28. IMDB doesn't show any new movies coming up for him. What a hunk eh, what a find! Did you catch those biceps?
The best gallery I've found is at http://www.rodrigosantoro.hpg.ig.com.br/galeria.html
tom 07 Dec 2003, 02:46
do anyone know the name of the actors who wore glasses in the new film timeline
larry 29 Nov 2003, 01:59
can anyone name the actors in love actually who wore glasses on screen and the actors who wear glasses off screen?
Electra 22 Nov 2003, 09:06
OK, talking of Love Actually, how about Karl? Too much, too much.
Electra 22 Nov 2003, 09:02
OK, thanks, again not my type. Plug ugly actually. But each to their own!
eclipse 20 Nov 2003, 14:55
He has a talkshow called V Graham Norton on channel 4 in the UK. I know it at least used to be on BBC America. His official website is at http://www.channel4.com/graham
Electra 20 Nov 2003, 14:48
I had a look at Ryan Seacrest. Not my type, so who cares if he had LASIK.
Now Brad Pitt, THAT was a tragedy. [Gnash]
Electra 20 Nov 2003, 14:45
Never heard of him. Who's Graham Norton?
eclipse 20 Nov 2003, 14:42
Someone posted a collection of pictures of the American Idol host Ryan Seacrest in glasses but they were prompted to do it because he's apparently had lasik :(

The other night on Graham Norton's show he seemed to be struggling to read something across the studio and said "I'm so blind". Does anyone know if he wears/needs glasses?

OK, I want a scientific opinion. Check this out, read the runners up list carefully, see how many are known to wear glasses. Is there a correlation here? Or is it just a coinkidink?
Johnny Depp, sexiest man alive!
(Image at <a href="http://im.rediff.com/movies/2003/nov/20depp.jpg">)
Rediff.com Entertainment Bureau - November 20, 2003 15:54 IST
Johnny Depp is the 'Sexiest Man Alive 2003', according to People magazine's December 1 issue.
Depp played the maverick pirate Jack Sparrow in this year's smash hit, Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl. Another entertaining performance in Once Upon A Time In Mexico followed.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution quoted People, saying, 'Because he arrived at his new, happy place without selling out, without becoming slick or packaged or politically correct, he is a hero to his fans and an idol to his young co-stars.'
'The 40-year-old actor is known for hiding under layers of hats and blankets in his private life and behind oddball characters in his films, but he is finally coming to terms with his own charisma...' added the magazine.
People also listed top ten sexy hunks, which featured Brad Pitt, Ashton Kutcher, George Clooney, Lenny Kravitz, Justin Timberlake, Hugh Grant, Russell Crowe, Hugh Jackman, Denzel Washington and Colin Farrell.
Shelly 19 Nov 2003, 14:33
He does not wear glasses in the movie.
19 Nov 2003, 14:32
looking at the variety of shots on that page, i'd imagine that his are props rather than prescribed glasses. why else would pics of him in specs be concentrated in the 'love actually' section?
shelly 19 Nov 2003, 14:23
COLIN FIRTH PICS, DOES ANYONE THINK THAT THEY COULD GIVE ME AND INFORMATION ABOUT HIS SPECS?
Shelly 17 Nov 2003, 20:06
Can anyone tell me if Colin Firth (Love Actually, Bridget Jones's Diary)recently started wearing glasses. I was watching "Behind the Scenes" of Love Actually (E! Television), and in some of the press junket clips he is sporting the specs.
shane 08 Nov 2003, 01:35
colin farrell wears glasses. i want pictures
Electra 07 Nov 2003, 05:48
URK, almost forgot, I want Colin Farrel's Rx too.
Electra 07 Nov 2003, 05:47
She's back:) sorry, the boss caused me some problems, kept me off-line.......Julian - my Yahoo account got so clogged up with spam I think your group e-mails are bouncing. Take me off, I won't be offended. I'll sort it out this end.
Well I've been on a Johnny Depp marathon lately. Bought all the DVD's and have been trying to figure out his eyes. I thought I'd hit the jackpot with The Ninth Gate (at least a -4 to my non-expert guess) but then I found a Polanski interview that said the glasses were props. Damn. Jules, darling, kiss kiss, grovel grovel, if you get five minutes, oh alright then A WEEKEND, can you go through all the bespectacled Depp movies you can lay your hands on other than that one (i.e. most of them) and do me a Rx estimate? I mean the man is divine, you must love him as much as I do....say yes, say yes......
There's some numbnuts on other threads having a go at Gays, well, for the record, Jules and me have the same tastes in men quite often, and that suits me FINE, because we'll share:) Me and Jules will buy a nice flat in the Tottenham Court Road and grab us some love slaves. He can have the gay ones and I'll have the straight ones. Until we get them drunk then we'll swap:) Hey, it could work!
kevin 19 Oct 2003, 01:58
can anyone name all the actors in coronation street that wear glasses on and off screen
Maverick 17 Oct 2003, 14:52
Interesting (for UK viewers) that Dev in Coronation Street has been wearing his own prescription glasses in the last couple of episodes - noticable minus.
Interesting inasmuch that in the storyline he wears the glasses specifically to attract and impress a potential girlfriend. A refreshing change from the cliched line we normally get in films etc where its the exact opposite ie its the ditching of glasses that gets the result !

Went to the cinema the other evening to see 'Calendar Girls', that hilarious film about the Women's Institute that made a nude calendar and raised £587,000 for leukaemia research. Well worth seeing, nothing to offend even an old queen like me. Before the big picture came on, though, there was a trailer for another film, I didn't get the name, by the makers of 'Four Weddings and a Funeral' &c. The cast included Hugh Grant - and the trailer showed lots of sexy spexy guys. Anyone know the film I mean? It looks my kind of thing.
Love and kisses, Jules.

timo 17 Sep 2003, 10:12
okay some more movies with really strong glasses:
1.making the grade a film where an actor
wears a-7 glasses getting rapped by a mate beeing blind
2.the fortress with christopher lambert

Julian 12 Sep 2003, 18:39
'Bluespecs' says it's OK to post here what he posted in 'guysglasses 2' about actors in specs, so here goes:
Hi,
here are some movies with myope main actors wearing real glasses
- Rob Lowe in "Illegally Yours" (rectangle plastic frame, about –2,5 RX) nice scene when Rob Lowe gets in rain and is totally wet, his glasses still upon his nose
- James Spader in "Bad Influence" (round gold metal frame, about –2 RX) good scene when he fights with Rob Lowe and James' real glasses are falling down (watch this scene in slow-motion, it's great!)
- James Spader in "Stargate" (a different round gold metal frame, about –2 RX)
- Jeremy London in "Innocent Babysitter" (round black metal frame, about –3 RX)
- Lorenzo Lamas in "Back To Even" (also known as "The Debt") (2 different round gold metal frames, about –7 RX)
- Barry Miller in "The Chosen" (round plastic frame, about –5 RX)– good scene when he gets hit in the eye by a baseball caused by Robby Benson and Barry Millers glasses break to pieces
- Robby Benson in "Jeremy" (black plastic frames) - good scene at the beginning of the movie when Jeremy wakes up without his glasses and puts them on
3 Pics of "Jeremy" I put in the new album actors.
If anybody knows other movies where actors do wear their real glasses, let us know.
Wish you a lot of fun and excitement by watching one or more of these movies.

Hey, my first post - just wanted to ask where I can find movies with cute nearsighted guys in them :) Any suggestions for movies with minus lenses in them?
Electra 02 Sep 2003, 03:48
OK, we'll give him the benefit of the doubt. I suppose it could even be vanity the otherway - he's had so many positive commnents...........
Julian 01 Sep 2003, 00:27
Vanity? maybe. Or maybe he's like a lot of young hyperopes and thinks his glasses are for reading but once they're on finds vision so comfortable he forgets to take them off. I was a bit like that when I was his age or a bit less.
Love and kisses, Jules.
Electra 31 Aug 2003, 06:35
Y'know Julian, there's nothing quite as revolting as vanity. Ewan says in interview that he wears "reading glasses". So, does he read while walking, or what?
Russell 27 Aug 2003, 07:43
Robert Downey wears glasses quite often, not just in character. Go to Google.com, click on images, put in his name. You will probably come up with some pictures of him in glasses.
SHELLY 24 Aug 2003, 16:09
Hey Kids... I was just watching Ally McBeal and it happened to be one of the episodes which co-stars Robert Downey Jr.. Well, I was just wondering if the spectacles in which he wears are prescription or are they just props?
Also if anywone could post some links of Robert Downey Jr. wearing spectacles I will be very greatful.
Thanks!

Watched a video of 'Antitrust' the other day. Those cool glasses Ryan Phillippe wears on and off throughout the film are definitely plus, and I wonder if there's some cylinder there. Intrigued by the natural way he uses them (in 'Cruel Intentions' too) - as if he puts them on when he needs them. I think he's hot.
Love and kisses, Jules.
Julian 13 Aug 2003, 01:38
nz: That's a very young Elijah in that photo, which is an old favourite as far as I'm concerned - taken on the only occasion he was ever photographed in glasses till quite recently.
Love and kisses, Jules.
EliWo 12 Aug 2003, 15:17
Is this the same group that was going on and on about my glasses before? Yes, I do wear glasses -- I am blind as a bat without them. You'll see me in them more and more as time goes on.

Elijah Woods wears bifocals. I saw pictures of him with them a number of months ago. ust have a high enough minus correction that bifocals help him with near vision.
Julian 09 Aug 2003, 08:43
Just checked Rexfeatures for shots of Johnny Depp. He's wearing either shades (prescription I'll bet) or clear glasses with heavy plastic frames, kind of retro, in ALL the recent pics that aren't on set. Also in two or three shots from older films; thee's a nice round wire pair there.
Love and kisses, Jules.
Julian 09 Aug 2003, 06:46
Yes Electra, it's http://www.bookla.com/interviews_6.html
I spotted the photo to the right of the one of Johnny Depp and clicked on it...
Love and kisses, Jules.
Electra 09 Aug 2003, 04:59
I went through the Rex features site Julian recommended, thought it must be Christmas!
Ashton Kutcher, Matthew Perry, Richard Gere, Kevin Bacon, Gary Oldman etc etc (Wow, Ted Danson's getting old) some shots better than others...and a whole lot of people I've never heard of, but I recommend it for browsing!
Electra 09 Aug 2003, 04:13
I couldn't find the Tobey pic you refer to, can you give me a direct URL? Yes, I'm blonde.........
Julian 08 Aug 2003, 10:46
Thanks for those, Electra. They don't give much clue to his Rx - but in the pic accompanying the interview question his shades look like low minus to me.
And on that same site there's an interview with Tobey Maguire with fairly obvious contacts in.
Love and kisses, Jules.

:(
Lucie 22 Jul 2003, 19:40
i have no idea whether this has been posted before...and if it has please bear with me because i'm really really really curious about this.
you know how in the movie Gattaca (a great movie, with scenes i know you all will appreciate:) ethan hawke wears minus glasses in the beginning. however after searching and searching for pictures of him in glasses i can't find ANY. i'm practically resigned to the idea that the movie makers were smart enough to do GOC instead of putting in plano lenses for Vincent's character. is there no hope then?
MacKenna 22 Jul 2003, 11:09
What about Jonathan Lipnicki, there isn't really a mentioning of younger actors. He is the cutest bespectacled kid I have ever seen!
Jo 22 Jul 2003, 09:10
Julian, it seems that Freddie needs his glasses these days.He's wearing them in all recent shots and when he was in the UK he had glasses on every time he was on tv shows. It's good to see somebody who is confident enough to wear their glasses. I agree that in a couple of shots he looks like he needs his rx bumping up.

Thanks to Aislinn's hint on another thread, I've been checking out the Rexfeatures archives. First question: is it my imagination or is Freddie Prinze Jr starting to squint a bit even with his glasses on? Second question: Does Elijah Wood never take those contacts out? 207 shots of him, and not one in specs!
Love and kisses, Jules.

BTW...I was on a date this past Saturday night, sitting on a man's couch and trying to appear cool and collected, when!! Did anyone catch Saturday Night Live, this week?? It's not bad enuff that I have a thing for 'the nose', Adrien Brody, but he appeared in a Skit, supposed to be one of two obsessive, artsy frames fitters, in a 'Lens Masters' store! Not sure who the unsuspecting woman was, who came in for a fitting, but Adrien and his partner in crime, repeatedly produced one extreme and whacky frame after another, and what reeeeally got me hot, was that each time the camera man closed in on Adrien, he'd have a new, very modern pair of glasses on!!! Now this lawyer guy who's house I was over, is Mr.Conventional, and he had no idea I was getting all lathered up, over this, as he saw it, 'silly' sketch! It ended with one of the guys holding up a 'sight stick' or something to that effect, a clear, lens in a ruler type appliance!! ;))
Ohhh, why am I strange???

bif 08 Apr 2003, 19:48
I read an interview awhile back - I can't remember which actor - in which the actor talked about having difficulty with contacts and glasses in a movie that he was in. He stated that he had to wear contacts to "offset" his vision because in real life he has perfect vision but it was very important to the director that he wear real glasses and that he USE the glasses in the movie. So: at least in some cases, just because you see prescription glasses onscreen doesn't mean the actor wears glasses.
noony 08 Apr 2003, 19:30
a loooong while back (apparently) ethan hawke was mentioned by someone...and then no one answered and the subject was dropped. i know for certain his glasses in the glasses scenes of the movie Gattaca were real. any theories on prescription? has ANYONE found pics of him in glasses on the internet. i've looked for hours and found nothing. it's a shame...
Russell 19 Mar 2003, 11:16
Check out Jamie Elman (Luke on American Dreams.) He is so delicious in those heavy black 60s style frames. It looks to me like there is a real prescription in them, but others here are better at detecting that sort of thing than I.
Efan 17 Mar 2003, 15:10
Hi, so I was on a message board for Brendan Fehr and we were discussing whether he is near or far sighted. No one can seen to find any info. I was wondering if anyone had any info, or found any pics so the pro's here might be able to tell.
Julian 12 Mar 2003, 08:12
Sunglasses? he wore a very fetching pair of semi-rimless specs quite a lot of the time.

Christy 08 Mar 2003, 03:14
Actors... actresses... even the folks with the bit-parts. Seems like everyone had a fair crack at wearing glasses in the movie "Catch Me if You Can" - and what's more - they were authentic period styles and often came equipped with real lenses.

I don´t know how old Ewan McGregor is, but maybe the second time he wore contact with additional reading glasses.
sydneycider 21 Feb 2003, 02:04
Just found this sight and someone a while back was asking on Ewan McGregor.
I've seen him twice in Sydney (filming the 2 star wars flix)
The first time in Bondi (Phantom menace) in a cafe wearing medium minus rx ..maybe -5 possibly -6.
Next in cafe (seems he likes the cafe's) reading 'memoirs of a geisha' where he wore reading glasses, black half frame spex, whick looked like he could have picked the up at any chemist! (not a good look) How i wanted to go and ask his optical situation, sorry folks, I copped out :(
Kix 15 Feb 2003, 13:03
I know this movie has been out for quite some time but I just rented Minority Report with Tom Cruise. There are a few (entirely too brief) shots of the very good-looking Collin Ferrell wearing black wire rims--planos I assume--but looking gorgeous nonetheless. Pity he didn't wear them during more of the movie. Or in real life...but a girl can dream...

Portia 10 Jan 2003, 01:37
Robert de Niro was standing at my corner today waiting for the light to change wearing silver-colored modified aviator style frames with very low minus lenses.
Julian 09 Jan 2003, 11:23
p.s. There was some discussion about him on this thread late January 2002.
Love and kisses, Jules.
Julian 09 Jan 2003, 11:20
It's there now.
Julian 08 Jan 2003, 01:39
I have a photo of Leo di Caprio that I downloaded a while back, wearing brown plastic frames, and (I think) a low plus Rx. I thought somebody had posted a link to it from Eye Scene, but it's a while ago. When I have time, which I don't right now, I'll post it to 'Stars in specs' on the Spexyguys yahoo group.
Love and kisses, Jules.
Portia 07 Jan 2003, 22:25
There were a couple of scenes in "Catch Me If You Can" in which Mr. diCaprio wore sunglasses that appeared to have a slight minus Rx.
teachkids 07 Jan 2003, 22:23
anyone have any ideas about Leo dicaprio? I've heard he wears glasses, but I'm not sure for what. anyone have the scoop on him???
Portia 07 Jan 2003, 22:23
DNB, I didn't see him on Letterman, but when I have seen him in person, he appears to be somewhat farsighted and have astigmatism. He has been an open wearer of glasses for many years, unlike so many actors. Per IMDB, he will be 54 this year.
Were they lined trifocals?
DNBursky 07 Jan 2003, 22:15
OK, Richard Gere appeared on the David Letterman show tonight and wore the glasses he's had for the past few years. It appears he may have an astigmatism, definitely trifocals, but what are other's impressions?
David
Julian 26 Dec 2002, 07:01
Hey, obsessed, nobody's answered your query about Ryan Phillippe [I guess everybody thought somebody else would ::) ] Ryan is quite often photgraphed wearing glasses off set, sometimes black plastic and sometimes wire frames. My guess is that he has hyperopia and/or astigmatism; in 'Cruel Intentions' he seems to use glasses much the way I did at his age/the age of the character he plays - on to read something and then they stay on for a while.
Love and kisses, Jules.
Christy 26 Dec 2002, 04:55
It's ages since I've seen Jaws - but they decided to dust off the old movie and show it on Christmas Day. I'd quite forgotten how well glasses featured in that movie. Two out of the three guys on the fishing boat Orca wore them - those guys also being the two surviving actors - the other one being eaten by the shark for Christmas dinner! Of course - they both lost their specs before the boat finally sank. They were real specs with appreciable distortion - and cunningly used in some takes. When one guy is reading up about sharks - the pages of the book are deliberately reflected in his glasses. Also - when he goes out to sea - his wife reminds him that she's packed a spare pair of glasses. Earlier than that - there's a woman whose son is eaten by the shark - and she's obviously quite myopic by the look of her glasses. Which all goes to show the moviemakers that there isn't really any excuse to be using planos and fake spex in qualtiy movies!
obsessed 15 Dec 2002, 15:06
Sorry, I'm new to this, and maybe you get this question all the time - but I have to ask anyway: does anyone know what kind of sunglasses Ryan Phillipe wears in Cruel Intentions?
Musey 14 Dec 2002, 21:29
Hi Portia, now that I have MOST my Christmas shopping done, Im ready to rent some juicy movies, and Dead Ringers will be one of the first! Sounds intriguing!
chillin 14 Dec 2002, 12:30
I just saw a movie last night called "Drumline" which has some good glasses moments. The actor Orlando Jones, the guy in the 7-up commercials, wears some strong minus glasses when he is at his desk and using his computer. This seems to be the only time he is nearsighted, though. There are other people in the movie who wear glasses, but not as prominent as Orlando Jones.
On a side note, the movie was pretty good. Much better than most teen movies. The story line is predictable, but the drumming is really cool. You will come out wanting to be a drummer.
Portia 11 Dec 2002, 22:31
Ok, I watch TV on occasion. There was a really good episode of "The West Wing" on tonight with GLASSES present.
Toby's father at the beginnig was wearing great minus glasses from the eighties, except it was supposed to be 1954. Actually there were three glasses wearers in the scene that took place in 1954 in Brooklyn in Yiddish, and guess what, we shouldn't complain.
The father appeared again (as a significantly older man)in the present with much less obvious minus glasses. Boring, from a glasses point of view, but the episode was otherwise good.
DNBursky 11 Dec 2002, 16:28

Having fun watching "Live from Baghdad" on HBO. It portrays the events that took place in the early '90's and there are lots of large '80's glasses in evidence, some of them with real prescriptions. Waiting for some drop temples...

i just saw the movie "Z" tonight. it's an old film by Costa Gravas and i recomend it to everybody, esp if you're interested in politics... AHA now for the glasses bit...the character of the judge (not on screen for a while after start of movie but amost full time in the last half or third) he had the most fabulous frames. big dark brown pastic rectangle, slight tint. they were low plus with some cyl (also pretty low). i have no idea who the actor is as the names just scrolled at the end with no mention as to who played who. actually, if anyone has seen this film and knows, i'd love the info.

From the Google links the two decent photos were on http://www.bestofewan.com - numbers 67 & 107. There are also some fine shots of him in a McGregor tartan kilt (but bareyed). Maybe ewan fan can point us to some others.
Love and kisses, Jules.

Julian 07 Dec 2002, 02:25
I hunted round a few sites and found 3 shots of Ewan in specs (not counting shades) and one of those was a thumbnail. Judging by the other two, his Rx is very low; there was a hint of cut-in on the left, no cut-in or other distortion that I could see on the right. He could be slightly short-sighted or have a soupçon of astigmatism. What does anyone else think?
Love and kisses, Jules.
ewan fan 06 Dec 2002, 17:22

Musey, check out the movie "Dead Ringers" 1988 with Jeremy Irons playing twin gynecologists. I think he wore his own glasses for this and they were big and thick 19080's style with lots of rings. He used them in strange ways in the movie, though, taking them on and off at inappropriate times.
Christy 01 Dec 2002, 14:29
Just been to see "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" - and of course I'm well aware that Daniel Radcliffe's specs are just props. The lenses don't show any kind of distortion. I also pointed out recently that they have no nosepads. Now that I've seen the movie - I could also see that the bridge of the specs had made quite a noticeable groove in the kid's nose. For planos - he must be getting considerable wear out of them!

I'm sorry, make that, The Mysterious Island! 8)
Musey 27 Nov 2002, 11:51
Humor me....one more movie thing. Does anyone know if Lionel Barrymore was myopic? I recently saw a really trippy sci-fi (loosley based on Jules Verne story)called The Mysterious Planet, a semi-silent starring my hero, Lionel. His hair was really cool in this one, hanging over his forehead. But boy, did he ever squint a lot! Not sure if he did that to appear more like a scientist, or whether that was out of poor eyesight. I don't think I've ever seen publicity shots of him with glasses, though as an older man he wore them in some films.
Musey 27 Nov 2002, 11:45
Ohh, this is where everyone is....btw, does anyone know if Jeremy Irons has an eye problem? He sure wore pluses in Stealing Beauty.
I don't see a movies topic, but I recently saw The Great Escape (hadn't seen that in a while) and remember the Englishman who said his eyesight was geting worse and worse, and called it progressive myopia? He said he could see close-up, and held his hand right in front of his eyes, but said he couldnt see anything beyond that. It was a tantalizing addition to the story, made the escapees human, like Charles Bronsen had claustrophobia. Great film!

Teah: I've been looking on the web and can only find one older pic of Freddie in specs - it's in one of the galleries of http://ilovefreddie.com. I have some others that I downloaded years ago and could email them to you if you like. If you dn't want to post your address let me know: julianmungo@yahoo.co.uk.
Another thought: I had posted them on Dom's Yahoo group but cleared them off because space was running out; but some of them might be on one of the older groups. I'll check and see, or might be able to post a few. Sometime in the next week maybe.
While we're talking, did you ever get to post any more shots of Paul McCartney?

25 Nov 2002, 13:38
Yeah, Freddie has worn glasses on and off for years, and if you look around on the net it's quite possible to find the occasional older photo of him in glasses. But as Julian says in virtually all the shots taken of him over the past year he's been wearing glasses in public appearances, on tv interviews and the more private shots (and when he hasn't he's squinting real bad). I guess his eyes have got more dependent on the glasses so he has to wear them vitrually full time these days (not surprising if the RX is in the region that's suggested). He certainly looks a lot better wearing glasses than he does squinting into the blur in the distance.
Cordell 25 Nov 2002, 10:04
I got FPJrs's eyeglass prescription from a bio I read about him. He said he is "blind without them" and has no problem wearing glasses in public. He also said he started wearing glasses when he was 10.
Julian 25 Nov 2002, 04:00
I've noticed before (and mentioned here before) that Freddie Prinze Jr didn't squint on set, but on interviews about films he often did. My conclusion was that he wore contacts for filming but in the interviews was bareyed and having trouble seeing. And of course in 'Boys and Girls' he wore glasses with a definite minus Rx. If that Rx that's quoted is right (but how does anybody know?) he could certainly do with correction full time. He's had glasses for years; I have some ancient four-eyed pics of him.
Love and kisses, Jules.
teah 24 Nov 2002, 17:19
do you still have the url for his webseite?....just out of curiosity...
dominic 24 Nov 2002, 16:00
Well, there's a gorgeous gay actor called Anthony Rapp, hardly a big name but he was the original Mark in "Rent" and has quite a following. We were speculating about his Rx on eyescene; someone said they keow Anthony and would ask him, and came back with the answer that he was between -4 and -5. A year or so later I found Rapp's own website, where you can email him. So I did. He was a bit mystified, but wrote back and said, yup, I'm around the -4/5 mark. So there.

SZ6 23 Nov 2002, 10:34
Do any of you realize how stupid it is to ask "does anyone know his/her Rx" about an actor?
How likely is it that one of us will actually know the actor, or know someone who knows the actor, or even that the actor knows his/her own Rx?
Sheesh.
teah 23 Nov 2002, 09:07
how do you know?
Cordell 23 Nov 2002, 09:00
Freddie's RX is R: -2.75 -.50
L: -3.00 -.25
23 Nov 2002, 05:03
Freddie is certainly appearing in his glasses more and more often these day and seems to have become more dependent on them. The RX doesn't look that high but it looks like he has become a full time wearer (at least when he's in public). I guess that it is not suprising that he wears his glasses for premiers and award events as (a) he will want to see what is going on and (b)as the press are taking his picture he will look better four-eyed rather than two-eyed and squinting.
Anybody know what his RX is? Does anybody know if he wears contacts too. He wasn't wearing glasses in Friends and the squint wasn't noticable.
Tommy 22 Nov 2002, 15:05
Julian, thanks for the rexfeatures website, getting ready to try it now.
Julian 22 Nov 2002, 14:31
Yes: http://www.rexfeatures.com - there's a huge archive of photos, but nowadays unless you register yo can only see the thumbnails. Somebody said in another thread, just do a search for 'spectacles'.
Sorry I've taken so long, I'm having trouble posting ::(
Love and kisses, Jules.
Tommy 21 Nov 2002, 05:49
Julian, Is Rexfeatures a website? If so, how to access. Thanks
Julian 21 Nov 2002, 04:32
Just checked Rexfeatures for pics of Freddie Prinze Jr: he's wearing glasses in the 29 newest, and the 30th is the 'without' one in that poll where he's squinting into the blur ::)

Another delicious young actor who doesn't feature in the People magazine survey is Ryan Phillippe. There's a nice shot of him with a beard and glasses at http://www.rexfeatures.com/cgi-bin/rppshimg0?i=390710A. Low plus, I think, and maybe astigmatism which I've always suspected in his case.
(Thinks: they haven't included Elijah Wood either!)
Love and kisses, Jules.
Julian 26 Oct 2002, 13:54
Yes, Matt, Freddie Prinze jr always squints like that, if not worse, these days if he doesn't have his glasses on (unless, presumably, he has contacts in in front of the camera). Ages ago I noticed that in film previews on cable TV he was often squinting in interviews. His Rx isn't high, agreed, but he's obviously short-sighted enough to have trouble without correction,
Love and kisses, Jules.
Matt 26 Oct 2002, 11:19
Re - People Magazine Poll.
Given the photos the have used of Freddie Prinze, I'm not surprised that 74% of people think he looks better in glasses. In the bare-eyed photo he is really squinting - either he was looking into the sun or he needed to be wearing his glasses. What do people think? His RX looks pretty low in the picture of him in glasses.
Portia 25 Oct 2002, 22:33
I went to the People Magazine link and did my part. We should all click through for the cause.

I'm going to post this on "Guys in Glasses" as well. Maybe someone on here has mentioned this before, but I just realized (when seeing a photo) that the actor Richard Dreyfuss is not only sometimes photographed wearing glasses, but he is QUITE nearsighted...possibly in the -8 range? I have only seen small photos so it's hard to tell. He's getting older now but I think was quite handsome in his day. He obviously performed most of his roles wearing powerful contacts.
Derik 04 Oct 2002, 04:51
I don't know if anyone out there watches Amazing Race here in the US - but toward the end of the show one of the hot twins is wearing glasses while driving. Not only is he great looking - but he has specs too. I know he is not exactly a celebrity but I did not knwo where to post.

I'm surprised that there are few mentions of David Boreanaz in his glasses. He seems to wear glasses tinted like shades (blue or brown) but they are definately prescription for near-sightedness - you can see the cut in. Any idea what his RX is - between -2 to -3?

I need new glasses and I wanted to get the same kind. I know it is pretty specific to ask model and manufacturer... alternatively, does anyone know of a good shot of these on the web that I could take to the store with me?
Julian 05 Jul 2002, 01:05
I'd say they were fairly standard semi-rimless. Fantastic on him, of course. Oddly enough, in all the pics I've seen of him wearing glasses in real life (and there are plenty around), he seems to go for black plastic, which is less sexy.
Love and kisses, Jules.

Elijah Fan 20 Jun 2002, 04:33
The site doesn't allow direct linking - that's why you have to cut and paste the URL. If you click the link it tells you to access the pic thru the front door of the actual site. A lot of sites do that such as Angelfire. If I come across any other nice pics of Elijah I'll be sure and post them for you. ;)
Christy 19 Jun 2002, 23:29
Bizarre! I never saw a link that you could click and get one image - but when you cut and pasted it you got a completely different image. How does it work?
Adrian 19 Jun 2002, 22:24
E.F. - thanks for the links. I know this is off the subject, but can you please explain why I don't get the pic if I just click on the link? But, when I do as E.F. instructed to cut and paste the link on my browser, it works and the image appears?
Elijah Fan 19 Jun 2002, 18:25
OK. You got me. I may have exaggerated just a bit. There are "several" pictures of Elijah with his glasses. So you've seen these before (Elijah with Frank):

Elijah Fan 19 Jun 2002, 17:53
OK - I'll go dig up the links. I just didn't want to start anything with what's his face again. If he comes back I won't post again. I've seen one at an optical site, one where he is DJing and several with Franka. I'll go get em!
Julian 18 Jun 2002, 23:48
Don't forget Elijah...as if we could! But if there are 'lots and lots' of pics of him in glasses, direct us to some of them! All I've ever seen (and I'm not alone in this) are a few taken on the same occasion years (and years) ago, and two of him snuggling up to Franka the other week.

Hearty 06 Jun 2002, 16:05
Getting into my time machine....Carey Grant wears glasses in several movies, usually heavy hornrims. The Hitchcock film (was it North By Northwest?) 'The Grass Is Greener' too, is a must-see (scene where 3 men are conducting a duel and the women come upon them, one exclaiming som. like, what is going on, they're all wearing glasses!) and the latest one I've seen again, Carey and Hepburn...can't remember the name but he is a paleantologist....wordy bantering type farce, but at one point he falls and breaks his glasses...unfortunately they quickly make it alright, it seems in this film as in many, they are symbolic of his myopic and stayed...staid...sheesh I cant spell!! lifestyle...the point when the glasses break is about when he begins letting Katherine into his heart and the capricious fun that comes with her. Because he never does get them fixed....WE would have done a rewrite! Anyway the specs have made more of a Carey fan of me.

Saw new Hugh Grant film last evening, About a Boy. Enjoyed it, the boy was very good, can't recall his name, film name Marcus. Anyway, Hugh Grant put on sunglasses a couple of times. I don't think they were Rx. He never put on regular glasses. British film, worth seeing, have to listen carefully, even then missed some of the lines.
Is Hugh Grant about age 40?

Is that glasses scene from SPIDERMAN so unknown? The man demonstrates minus glasses and, well, not. Am I the only one who has seen this clip?

Has anybody seen the trailer for the movie "Spiderman"? There's a good glasses scene in it, especially if your interest is in the minus range.

4 your eyes: I guess describing Adam Garcia as 'very short sighted' is typical of a writer who doesn't know, on a par with "God, these are strong!" In any case an actor who can see the first row or two of the audience is not *very* short sighted, not by my reckoning anyway.
I agree about Michael Weatherly. Freddie Prinze jr too; there have been some really cool recent pics of him with close-cropped hair and new glasses.
Love and kisses, Jules.
lrkrgrl 21 Apr 2002, 14:12
Michael Weatherly is such a hottie. IMHO, he's a prime example of someone who looks even better in glasses.
4 your eyes 21 Apr 2002, 09:50
I think it is quite obvious by looking at his pictures that Adam Garcia is not "very" nearsighted. Actually he must have a very weak prescription and I guess "he wears his glasses most of the time" just because he likes to, like some of us around here.
You might want to take a look to this site about Michael Weatherly, Dark Angel's Logan, who also wears glasses most of the time in real life.
http://home.talkcity.com/AntennaAv/mwshrine8/index.htm
Jayson 19 Apr 2002, 07:31
This is the FAQ. It's under "Family and Childhood"
9. What's up with Adam's glasses? Is he near or short-sighted and does he have to wear them all the time? Am I correct to assume when he rehearses, acts and dances, he wears contacts?
Adam is short-sighted and wears his glasses most of the time. When he was in London he didn't own any contact lenses and performed on stage without anything at all.
[Family and childhood] [ top ]
Julian 19 Apr 2002, 02:04
Jayson - I was browsing that Adam Garcia website (the one you gave us the link to) and I can't find an FAQ although some people refer to it. Nothing about it on the site map. But the Beginners' Guide says:
He is very short sighted and off stage wears a really cute pair of glasses. So if you were more than a couple of rows back at SNF and not looking your best - don't worry - you were probably just a blur anyway.
Love and kisses, Jules.
Julian 12 Apr 2002, 09:57

In an attempt to escape from the increasing ridiculousness of the "Elijah" debate, has anyone noticed the adorable buff blonde guy on The Real World who occasionally sports low minus specs?? His blue, blue eyes suggest contacts for most of the time but there have beeen some great shots of him in glasses. Someone posted to Actresses about the girls on the show (3 of the 4) who wear glasses--all cute--but this Kyle is to-die-for, glasses or not! I know the show is kind of a joke but he makes it worth it. 10 pm on MTV, Tuesday nights (previous episodes usually show starting at 9pm and are in reruns all the time) for those who wanna catch a look.
Jayson 07 Apr 2002, 19:16
There is this nice looking young actor, Adam Garcia who was in Riding in Cars with Boys. On his website is a link -- he won Spectacles Wearer of the Year. Under FAQs it says that he likes to wear glasses and does not own contacts.

That's funny, because he told me they had his full minus correction in them, and every time he lowered them he bumped into people!
Tina 26 Mar 2002, 06:19
No one has mentioned Geraldo Rivera? I think he's got kind of a slimy personality, and the topics of his show are terrible, but I really think his glasses make him look good - - and he wears them regularly. I think he looks better with the glasses than without them.
I have a feeling that he wears the glasses because he wants to be taken seriously as a "journalist."
What do you guys think they are? +3 sphere is my guess?
Russell 25 Mar 2002, 10:35
The general consensus was YES. Some audience members--all women--said that they had boyfriends who became more interested when they got glasses. Mario described his idea of a sexy woman, complete with glasses. An interesting side note, Dick said he has a friend--male--who has over 40 pairs of glasses and matches them with his tie and socks. Sounds like one of us, huh?
? 25 Mar 2002, 05:03
so what was the verdict? do people find glasses sexy?
Russell 21 Mar 2002, 08:08
Correction: it's Mario Lopez. Mario Gomez is one of our local weathercasters.
Russell 20 Mar 2002, 14:32
Today's episode of the very bad talk show, The Other Half (I think that's what it is called) was a feature called Do people find glasses sexy? Because of this the hosts Dick Clark, Danny Bonaduce, and Mario Gomez were all wearing glasses. Mario was dreamy and Danny looked great. Even Dick Clark looked pretty good.
Jay 16 Mar 2002, 11:58
Maybe Rob Lowe wears contacts and needs correction all the time. Since the character only wears glasses sometimes, perhaps that is why he wears planos over the contacts. He kind of blinks like he wears contacts, don't you think?
dominic 13 Mar 2002, 09:52
I get the impression from the West Wing that Rob Lowe's glasses are plano - which is odd, considering that he is (or was) about -2 and wore minus glasses in the execrable film Unfaithfully Yours (I think that was the title).
Jay 11 Mar 2002, 20:44
Are Rob Lowe's glasses in the West Wing plano or prescription?

Russell: I checked out some pics of William Hurt and I have to say the years haven't been so kind to him - hair gone, figure gone (my own figure's a disaster but I still have my hair!) but when I think about the cute young man in the 1981 film I can see how he got there. And the 1981 glasses were really sexy!
Kubla: cable temples? Wow, that's really unusual these days! Uh, no chance of a pic?

Russell 04 Mar 2002, 10:51
More often that not, William Hurt appears in movies with his glasses. I am seen him several times. I think he is a medium myopic, obviously blind enough that he prefers wearing his glasses. Or who knows? Maybe is an optics obsessive, like us!
Julian 03 Mar 2002, 23:43
On BBC-1 around one o'clock this morning, an old film, 1981 or so, called 'Eyewitness' starring William Hurt, cute and very athletic blond guy in round gold wire glasses. The lenses were definitely not plano but I didn't manage to confirm my impression that they were medium minus. He was attractive enough to keep me watching till the end even though I didn't really understand the plot and wanted to get to bed.
Love and kisses, Jules.

Ryan's specs in Cruel Intentions were plano, but in Antitrust they were cylindrical - a bit more minus than plus, I would have said, but astigmatic vision is often worse close up even when the numbers are mostly minus.
Russell - don't you despair?
Julian 27 Feb 2002, 23:12
Ryan wore glasses like that, on and off, in 'Cruel Intentions' and also (I think, I haven't seen it) in 'Antitrust'. Sounds to me like long sight/astigmatism in any combination.

No list of actors would be complete without mention of Bruce Davison, in the 1970 film "The Strawberry Statement". As male lead, Bruce wears gold cable temples with a mild minus Rx (~ -1.00) throughout the film.
"One of the first and most dramatic campus protest pieces, with a superb time-capsule soundtrack of some of the best rock music of the day."

'kind of funny, in a rather warm-hearted way' that's a nice way of putting it and actually describes some of us who are interested in any good-looking guy's eyesight; Elijah is a prime example of the species. No good asking, I suppose if he'd be photographed in his glasses for the first time in however long it is...
Love and kisses, Jules.
Christy 25 Feb 2002, 00:01
Well sure - Yeah Lord of the Rings - but it's a pity half the cast didn't wear glasses - which would have made it a lot more fun! You could've had Gandalf peering over his gold half-rims - Frodo switching between his high minus and reading specs - the Lady of the Wood making a delightful 'clink' with her thick specs when she kisses Frodo. Instead of "Will you look into the mirror" you could have "Will you look into my glasses?" When Frodo says "What will I see?" the Lady could answer "Not much, I'm afraid, coz my glasses are -32 and my magic arts suggest that your own prescription is merely -24!" Maybe I'm asking too much - but wouldn't Lord of the Glasses have been a better spin? Including of course the non-seeing Myopic Eye of Sauron! In any case, the dwarf guy definitely needed a prismatic correction on his right eye.

Julian 24 Feb 2002, 17:25
BAFTA award ceremony tonight - Stephen Fry presided wearing squarish rimless glasses; could it be a plus Rx?
Lord of the Rings collected several awards; Gandalf had Best Male Actor in Leading Part. I wondered if Lij might be in the audience, maybe even with his glasses on, but no sign.
Love and kisses, Jules.

Admittedly I should have added link to your club a long time ago, dominic. But I'd hate for anyone to get the idea that ES is some sort of monolithic bureaucracy with strict policies. Quite the contrary, sometimes things slip through the cracks because I am the sole maintainer.
Link added.

Rena: I've just tried that URL and get a message that it has no DNS entry. I know it USED to be there cos I've been to it, but no any more it seems.
Kubla: Well, we don't know who you are either, and some of us have known each other online for years - and been wondering about Elijah's Rx. Surely it's perfectly normal to ask where on the web your information is to be found.
Love and kisses, Jules.

Thanks Guest, those worked. I'm a Mac user by the way.
Love and kisses, Jules.
Guest 22 Feb 2002, 04:41
The Jeremy London page I linked to below has the (Windows) right-click function disabled...probably because the source images are © Spelling Films/Republic Pictures. This may account for the display problem that Julian encountered. In any case, perhaps these pics will work better:

On a side note...I only just realized that Jeremy has an identical twin brother, Jason:
http://www.jeremylondon.com/candids/twins4.jpg
Regarding Elijah Wood's refractive error...I simply assumed it to be myopia...since his eyeballs appear to be relatively huge...something many, although certainly not all myopes demonstrate.
Julian 22 Feb 2002, 02:18
Kubla, you were asking what it all was about Elijah Wood. Well, he used to be a cute child actor and is now a very handsome young man of 21; so when somebody found a photo of him wearing glasses and reported it on the old Eye Scene BBS all the gay guys around the place went berserk (and the discussion got quite acrimonious). What is especially tantalizing (and titillating too!) is that as far as we can see he has only ever been photographed ONCE in specs. The debate raged about how strong they were, with suggestions from -1 to -5, but nobody at that time suggested they were plus. I have five different shots of him, all apparently taken on the same occasion (same clothes, same background) and I will shortly try to post them on Dominic's 'spexyguys' Yahoo group.
I think the people who think those are plus lenses are wrong. I think what we see in the pic that Guest points us (My No 1 when I post them) to is minification of the background. Also, in my No 2 I can see a bit of cut-in. Finally I think a comparison with a bare eyed pic (or rather one with contacts) will show that his eyes look smaller through his specs. Apologies to my fellow hyperopes, but I have looked long and lovingly at these photos <grin> and I don't think we can claim him as one of us. As Dom has mentioned, these photos are years old, and Kubla's report suggests his myopia has increased - "he's gotten so blind he even got bifocals for when he doesn't wear contacts". Bifocals are sometimes prescribed for young myopes to try and slow down the progress. I wish, and I'm not alone, that we could see some recent shots of him in his coke bottles.
Guest: I checked the first URL you gave us for Jeremy London and got a screenful of broken icons; but I think I know the pics you mean. To me it didn't look as if he was short sighted enough to justify LASIK. If anything can. Other actors you might have mentioned are James van der Beek, Brad Pitt and Freddie Prinze jr. Ryan Phillippe is sometimes seen in glasses too, but I suspect astigmatism rather than myopia.
Love and kisses, Jules.
21 Feb 2002, 14:29
Elijah's plus lenses, I don't think so! There's no minimization just distortion. I'm sure they are +
dominic 21 Feb 2002, 14:25
Plus lenses? Please! Those are minus lenses, and pretty strong as well. (Other shots of Elijah taken at the same time show significant cut-in.) And those pics were taken years ago. So I would guess that when he says he is blind w/o correction, he's telling the truth.
roger 21 Feb 2002, 12:18
me to ,Iam sure thats a plus lenses Elijah is wearing which could also mean he does have a bifocal lenses as mentioned earlier, one up for the farsighted
Curt 21 Feb 2002, 11:28
Guest: I would not be so quick to say the many celebrities are nearsighted. Many wear glasses, yes, but not all are nearsighted. The lenses in Elijah Wood's specs look like + lenses to me.
Other farsighted celebs that I know of for sure are Daryl Hannah, Demi Moore, Jodie Foster, William Macy, Kurt Russell, etc.
Guest 21 Feb 2002, 05:18
It seems like a lot of contemporary actors and actresses are nearsighted...Elijah Wood wearing glasses:
http://www.starboy.de/ElijahWood/ac/ewo166.jpg
Jeremy London wore his Rx...to good effect...in the 1995 film "The Babysitter":
http://www.jeremylondon.com/babysitter/baby.htm
Although later, LASIK was an option:
http://www.maloneyvision.com/about_our_practice.html
IMHO, few things look worse (phony) than an actor or actress wearing plano lenses in a film. It sort of reminds me of a Caucasian actor (with a little eye makeup) trying to play an Asian character.
dominic 20 Feb 2002, 15:09
I know, it's just too good to be true - Jules, I bet your heart missed a beat! Mine certainly did.
Last night I watched a terrible old movie - Hair, made in 79, years after the stage show. But there's one good reason to watch it: Treat Williams, gorgeously hunky as the mop-top Berger, and then even cuter when he cuts off his hair to pose as a soldier. Anyway, the point is that, when he steals a jeep, he suddenly dons a pair of military aviator sunglasses. With - you've guessed it - strong minus lenses! Obviously Treat was too blind to drive bare-eyed. And that reminded me of Starsky and Hutch, where David Soul would don a pair of minus sunglasses every time he drove, even in dull weather. They can't fool me, those nearsighted celebrities!
Julian 20 Feb 2002, 13:14

I would love to check it out, but you haven't told us when he is on the show. I searched the website and found no trace of this interview.
Hearty 18 Feb 2002, 23:16
Hi Guys,
I saw a classic movie a couple of weeks ago or so, titled 'Beat the Devil', with Bogart, Gina Lolabrigida (i'm bad with spelling!) Peter Laurie, & Robert Morley. I was doing laundry so it was just on, I didn't really watch it, until...they landed in some foreign country, and the official in charge was a good-looking man with thee thickest specs I've ever seen in movies. They looked real, but I dont know.....of course his character was made fun of, can a thick-lensed actor never be of good character? Anyway, this guy turned me on something awful, I just stared n stared!
I make notes to myself, I have them all over the house! So I see I wrote down Truman Capote & John Houston, whether they were involved in the writing/making of THIS film I'm not sure.....anyway I highly recommend checking it out....Beat the Devil. It seemed like a good flick, what I saw of it through the wash pile.....8)
Julian 27 Jan 2002, 11:10
By the way the lesnes distort but don't reduce what's beyond.
Love and kisses, Jules.
Russell 27 Jan 2002, 10:31
Julian--I agree. Leo is rather nice. But how can you tell that those are definitely plus lenses?
Julian 26 Jan 2002, 07:57
Mmm, nice one - and those are definitely plus lenses.
Love and kisses, Jules.

Russell 25 Jan 2002, 12:23
A picture of Leo in People Magazine several months ago showed him in glasses. They were tinted, so they could have been only sunglasses, but they seemed to have some prescription in them.
Teachkids 24 Jan 2002, 20:57
Anyone know if Leonardo DiCaprio wears glasses? I am dying to know. Also, Joshua Jackson from Dawson's Creek? Thanks!
Portia 06 Jan 2002, 21:07
OK, I have seen Robert Redford up close. He wears minus glasses and has for many years and now has near-vision add. He has been an unabashed glasses-wearer since the mid-70's. I saw him at very close range filming "Three Days of the Condor".
teachkids 06 Jan 2002, 15:39
Does anyone know if Leo DiCaprio wears specs???? I 've heard some rumors that he does, but I wasn't sure.
Julian 02 Jan 2002, 16:37
I know Dom; the infuriating thing is on the fansite 'ewforever' the last line of the brief bio saus "Wears glasses' That site has over 300 photos of Lij. How many with glasses? One - and that onewas taken the same day as all the others ::)
Love and kisses, Jules.
dominic 02 Jan 2002, 13:34
I know, Julian, it's just so damned frustrating: only once in the last 10 years has Lij stepped out of the house w/o contacts. Judging by his Rx when he was about 14, he could be in coke bottles by now. Incidentally, the one still from Spiderman that someone posted to Dom's Cute Guys in Glasses suggests that Tobey Maguire wears a healthy minus Rx in the film (as he did in a made for TV movie a few years ago). But the other stills indicate plano. Honestly, life as a lens spotter is so challenging.
Julian 01 Jan 2002, 17:17
Two trips to the cinema in a week - last week it was Harry Potter, today Lord of the Rings! Enthralled - but in some shots I thought Elijah Wood's contact lenses were very obvious!
Love and kisses, Jules.
Cooldip 10 Dec 2001, 12:14
In the Spy Game, Redford wore aviator style glasses during the Vietnam war era scenes, and horn rimmed glasses for the 1991 scenes. Both looked like astigmatism lenses.
Christy 09 Dec 2001, 01:44
I went to watch "Spy Game" starring Robert Redford and Brad Pitt. I was amazed at how many pairs of glasses were worn in the movie - and the number of time times glasses went on - got taken off - got switched for shades - got put down on the table - held in the hand - etc. I guess glasses aren't entirely written out of movie scripts!
Christy 06 Dec 2001, 04:48
Well I finally went to see the Harry Potter movie and enjoyed it very much. I thought they got a neat pair of specs for Daniel Radcliffe - and in some takes I'd believe they were prescription - while in other takes they seemed plano! His big eyes make it look as if the lenses are plus even if they're plano! I also thought that the glasses worn by some of the older actors - generally readers - for peering over the top of - were inspired! I think they should have given the little witch-girl (Hermione) glasses - though this might have drawn away from Harry Potter's own specs.
Christy 02 Dec 2001, 01:24
Well there must be something that drives her to go on about glasses the way she does - when most other writers barely mention them - if at all.
Sideling 30 Nov 2001, 21:11
Christy,
I could have sworn the first time I saw her in an interview she was wearing some. I can't find any pictures to back that up, though. I know her partner does.
OO? I think it's a definite possibility!
Julian 30 Nov 2001, 10:05
There's a pic of Freddie Prinze Jr on Dominic's current Yahoo! club looking absolutely stunning in different glasses from any I've seen him in before. I squinted at it and peered at it and I could just about persuade myself that they're bifocals. In any case they are AWESOME!
Love and kisses, Jules.
Spexy guys are sexy guys
Termina 30 Nov 2001, 07:43
I saw Freddie Prinze, Jr., on television, wearing lined bifocals. Nice..
Christy 30 Nov 2001, 05:31
Sideling - one day when I get stranded somewhere for a week with nothing to do - I'll make an effort to read all JK Rowling's books. Incidentally - I think she's dead cute - but of course she'd be truly wonderful in glasses! I wonder shy she always goes on about them? Do you think she's OO?
Sideling 29 Nov 2001, 21:04
Er, not sure if this is the right thread for this, but has anyone noticed the large percentage of characters wearing glasses in JK Rowling's books in general? She takes great care to describe the glasses each time a new such character is introduced, as well... it's quite an entertaining read (which isn't to say it wouldn't be anyway). Unfortunately I think at least one character who had them in the books (or at least had them by the third book) didn't in the movie...perhaps they thought she was overdoing it?
Hearty 27 Nov 2001, 19:39
Ouch, well let's hope Roger's right, and he did not resort to Lasik!
roger 27 Nov 2001, 12:59
Brad Pitt is in Hello this week with a pair of glasses on which Iam sure are prescription and not sunglasses, they are the frame less kind with gold arms, he looks great.
teachkids 25 Nov 2001, 19:51
Actually, I do know for a fact that Brad does really wear glasses. On a bad note, though, I did hear that he has since had Lasik! Bummer!
Hearty 25 Nov 2001, 14:52
I just wondered whether Brad Pitt needs glasses, since he wears them in more than one film. I'm not all that crazy over him, but he does get a cute squinty look now and then....
jean 24 Nov 2001, 08:33
hi there especially those you like gay men with strong glasses im am looking for a video film where a young man looses his glasses and get stolen from someone else!its so good to see young helpless boys especially gays please post me some films im looking for them for such a long time
dominic 18 Nov 2001, 16:08
At the risk of sounding arrogant (a risk I often take) I am pretty good at spotting Rxs from photos, films etc. I've been doing it obsessively for 25 years! Ryan's lenses in Antitrust have a mild prescription for astigmatism in the -.75 to -1.25 region; I would have said a plano base but I could be wrong. The angle of the cylinder is the same in both lenses. Those he wore in Cruel Intentions were pure plano - as are Daniel Radcliffe's all the way through the film. (Believe me, I kept a very careful look-out.) I suspect the minus glasses he wore for publicity shots had to be abandoned because they reflected the light. Quite often in films, an actor's prescription glasses get switched to non-reflective plano for close-ups.
Cheniga 18 Nov 2001, 14:42
Because during his interview with Katie Couric, he poked his finger through where the lens should be -- just to demonstrate that he DOES NOT wear glasses.
Julian 18 Nov 2001, 11:46
Cheniga, it was certainly reported a few months ago that Daniel Ratcliffe said he had glasses but didn't wear them a lot; how are you so sure he doesn't?
I wondered too about Ryan Phillippe's Rx; I haven't see 'Antitrust', but in 'Evil Intentions' he used glasses much the same way. I reckon he carries enough clout to insist on wearing them when he needs to. There are pics around of him wearing glasses off the set as well (Dom, I posted one on your Yahoo! club) but not, I think, fulltime. I think he uses them roughly the way I did at his age: putting them on when he needs to and not necessarily taking them off straight away. Low Rx with astigmatism certainly fits - but plano-1? How can anyone tell?
As for Elijah Wood, I complained already about the site where the bio says "wears glasses" but there's only one pic to prove it.
Christy, WHO is just an ordinary boy at heart? Daniel Ratcliffe? Elijah Wood? Ryan Phillippe?
Love and kisses, Jules.
Russell 18 Nov 2001, 11:15
And how do you know that Daniel Ratcliffe doesn't wear glasses? He said in early interviews that he did. As for Dom knowing Ryan's prescription, I would guess that he deduced it from the look of the lenses, as he has done many other times from photos.
Cheniga 18 Nov 2001, 09:45
Daniel Ratcliffe does NOT wear glasses. Sorry! And how the world do you know Ryan Phillipe's prescription. Did you look at the little piece of paper in his wallet?
Mark 17 Nov 2001, 21:06
Just saw Harry Potter this afternoon. His lenses looked minus in some shots, plano in others. My guess is that the scenes in which the lenses appear plano feature digitally enhanced backdrops. Just a thought.
Christy 17 Nov 2001, 14:53
My guess is that he's just an ordinary boy at heart - with mixed feelings about wearing glasses. Maybe one day when he's old and has written his autobiography - he'll tell us all about it!
dominic 17 Nov 2001, 14:52
And another thing...
I got out Antitrust on video the other night: quite a sweet little movie. As in so many films, the young star, Ryan Philippe, wore glasses to read (in this case, the computer screen) - but, for once, this wasn't just window dressing. His lenses are both are plano/ -1 cyl, and people with that Rx often do wear glasses only for reading.
Incidentally, all the pictures of Elijah Wood in Lord of the Rings show very visible contact lenses. I bet he's as blind as a mole by now.
dominic 17 Nov 2001, 14:47
Can anyone solve the mystery of Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter)? In early publicity stills he was photographed wearing minus specs with a spot of cut-in; he also said in an interview that he did wear specs. Yet in the (dull) film itself he's plano all the way through, and at the premiere he turned up bare-eyed, explaining that he didn't wear glasses in real life. I'm puzzled.
Marc 16 Nov 2001, 16:21
Has anyone seen Kurt Russell with his plus glasses lately? Think he got LASIK?He used to wear them unashamedly.
Russell 09 Nov 2001, 06:23
Last night's episode of Friends: Chandler wore his glasses the whole episode. I wish we knew the rationale for when he wears them and when he doesn't. I suspect it is like all of us: just a whim.
Rod 08 Nov 2001, 16:45

Hmm. "If you don't know what to dao I can't show you," as the performer-female said to the bishop. I'll stay antiquated, thanks.
Christy 06 Nov 2001, 10:08
Oy - four eyes!
Now that wasn't very PC - but at least it was about glasses!
Wurm 06 Nov 2001, 09:50
Of course, the 21st century is derived from the Julian calendar 8-)
Thinking calendrically, the Mayan version is a worthy subject. Its 'welcome' of the Conquistadors as gods shows the folly of hewing to any specific interpretation of what a given time may represent. Yet it also indicates that there may be something to the ancient practice of prophecy.
There are doors.
Filthy McNasty 06 Nov 2001, 08:46
Interesting discussion about PCness. I suppose whether a given term is overly PC or simply courteous depends on your point of view, and on which end of the word in question you find yourself. To suggest that one's choice of words never matters would be silly. To hang on EVERY word is no less silly.
<p>
Some terms we now universally think of as racist or sexist were common usage not long ago. Popular language is inextricably intertwined with societal values; they evolve together and reflect each other. Terms we use to describe other people often carry a lot of information about whether that person or group of people is accepted as part of mainstream society or is relegated to the fringes.
<p>
I am with Wurm. Ultimately, it's courtesy that counts most.
Dru 06 Nov 2001, 07:29
The word to use is "performer". From now on, let's use the terms, "performer-female" and "performer-male." This is the 21st century and terms such as actress are antiquated, as is Julian.
Wurm 06 Nov 2001, 07:14
Julian,
Yes, I set up the Actresses thread first. I was trying to start threads that I could actually come up with content for!
I believe in encouraging courteous behavior in this forum, but I take a dim view of political correctness.
As I understand it, political correctness was a joke started by American lefties to poke fun at themselves. The concept of word police loose in America was intended to be very funny -- a simultaneous gloss on _1984_, McCarthyism and the intrinsic fragmentation of the Left -- but look where it led! Oh well, at least Bill Mahar got it.
Personally, I'm a freethinker. As long as we are having polite discussions, I don't care too much about the structure or topic. If it has something to do with glasses, so much the better.
Christy 06 Nov 2001, 00:26
The acting profession doesn't really subscribe to the usual ideals of sexism, racism or political correctness. The reason they don't is pretty obvious. If the movie plot calls for a white man, or a black woman, or a tall/short or fat/thin person - then those are the only people they're going to interview for the job. If a 'tall thin white man' didn't get a part in a movie when they were specifically looking for a 'short fat black woman' then there's little point him going to court over the matter - or vice versa!
Mind you - if the plot calls for a glasses-wearer - then wouldn't it be nice if they'd use a real glasses-wearer instead of someone in planos?
Julian 05 Nov 2001, 23:22
Is it my imagination or was the 'Actresses' thread set up before this one? <grin>
Love and kisses, Jules.
Rudeman 05 Nov 2001, 21:18
I don't consider the word "actress" a sexist term.
Anybody that does should get a life.
Bobby 05 Nov 2001, 16:00
Gentlemen, please realize that this community consists of many nationalities. What may seem a very politically correct or incorrect - especially considering the terms mentioned - may be just a marginal issue for non-american members.
Russell 05 Nov 2001, 09:43
While we here at Eyescene are quite enlightened and know that it is politically incorrect to use the term "actress," we also know that we have defied society and set up threads entitled "actors" and "actresses." This helps us to keep our focus. Some of us are not interested in females actors who wear glasses, while there are others who don't care about the male actors who wear glasses. Hopefully, people who post will remember these distinctions. Meanwhile, like has been said, it is really no big deal.
Dru 05 Nov 2001, 07:27
Actor is the term for performers of both genders. Actress is a word like waitress or stewardess -- considered sexist and therefore antiquated. Julian, don't worry about it.
Julian 05 Nov 2001, 02:03
AAARRRGGGGHHHH!
An actress in the 'Actors' thread! is nothing sacred?

I found an Elijah Wood site: http://www.ewforever.com
In the bio it says "Wears glasses" but you wouldn't believe it from the galleries: 12 sets of 36 pics each, and in how many is Lij wearing specs? ONE, and that's one of the usual round wire rims at the age of 14 or so. Surely he must take those contacts out sometimes :(
Russell 26 Oct 2001, 08:26
Have you noticed that Chandler (Matthew Perry) has not worn his glasses in any episode of Friends this season? Last season, he wore them quite a bit. This year, he looks a lot more healthy (after his stint in re-hab.) I wonder if that has something to do with his not wearing the glasses?
