I have to be honest, actor Willem Dafoe has never really been on my 'hunk' radar. As talented as he is, Other than as The Green Goblin in
Spiderman, I really just haven't seen or loved many of his movies. A few years ago however, while putting together a post on Oscar nominee's, I did take notice of Dafoe in an old clip I found (
and posted here) of the actor's full frontal dance in an old stage production of
The Dance of the Sphinx & the Chimera.
I made it a point then, to try to check out some of Dafoe's earlier film appearances. For that reason, I DVR's 1981's The Loveless when it aired on TCM a few weeks ago. The film marked Dafoe's first on-screen leading role. His only other role was an uncredited part in 1980's Heaven's Gate.
I really liked The Loveless, and Dafoe was incredibly charismatic, and incredibly hot! Even in a scene where he was robbing a woman in her car, you can see why his kiss would have softened the blow... The film was written and directed by Kathryn Bigelow and Monty Montgomery and marked Bigelow's first directors credit for a feature.
I loved Dafoe's nude scene, especially the way his body was posed and filmed in the scene. I found copy of the movie on-line, but the scene was darker than I thought it was on the TCM airing. Thankfully xyzpdq from the old Scenes From Male Skin site had a lighter clips showing a wee bit of Willem's willy. Check out both versions below.
