Louis Garrel

Louis Garrel was born June 14th 1983 in Paris. He is best known for his roles in The Dreamers,  Dans Paris (Inside Paris) and Les Chansons De A'Mour (Love Songs.) He has been acting since he was 6 years old.
He first showcased his wonderful singing voice in Christophe Honore's Les Chansons D'Amour. 
He is currently dating the older sister of the first lady of France, which suggests a significant amount of game. 

In 2008 i saw Les Chansons D'Amour and fell in love with Louis Garrel in all his brooding Frenchness. 
Reasons that he is so great. 

-Look at his hair! 

It's Gorgeous! All the time! I have never seen his hair cut or styled in a way that wasn't incredibly appealing. isn't that fantastic? Let's explore his hair and other features more closely. 

-He is a great actor, even when he's creepin' it up and sleeping with members of his family.(There are only a few more creepers on my list) (that's not true at all)
In The Dreamers, Eva Green plays Louis' twin sister. Their situation takes center stage as you realize their weird games are all part of a full fledged incestuous relationship. The two take in a Californian student and introduce him to the depravity. Once you get used to how awkward it is, you can actually kind of understand how it got to be like that. Their parents leave them alone in this huge house all the time. Eva tells us that they have been sleeping in the same bed since they were kids, despite having their own rooms. And while that was probably cute when they were five, it's different when you're 20.

There is a point in this movie where you can look past all that and appreciate how good he looks naked. A pale skinny Frenchman with great hair, i love it. 

And then there is Ma Mere, which i haven't seen, but apparently he sleeps with his mother. And in this one he is supposed be be 17.
Now, in this weird French movie, Louis' mother enlists a friend to take her son's virginity in public, invites him to be part of an orgy with her and her friends, and then takes off for a good chunk of the movie. This leaves Louis to find love with someone who ISN'T his mother. What an idea!
However, when his mother comes back, she asks her son if he wants to sleep with her. And he agrees.
Their sex scene doesn't include any actual sex, it's really just a montage of self harm and masturbation, during which Helene (the mother) commits suicide. 


And even though i've read and summarized that nightmare fuel, he is still so very hot. THAT is good acting!
Moving on.

- Threesomes. 
Sure, in the dreamers of of them is his sister, but i'll take it.

There is something so hot about a man who is willing to experiment sexually. 
It wouldn't take a lot of convincing to get him in the middle of this though. That's one of the best things about Les Chansons D'Amour, everyone is gorgeous, and they spend most of the movie singing to each other or in bed. 
Lucky, lucky ladies. 
-What is it about men kissing that is so sexy?
The world may never know. 

The relationship between the Ismael and Erwann is actually the most romantic part of the movie. It's a little creepy at first. Erwann stalks him for awhile before Louis eventually gives in to his advances.

He's clearly distraught. 

I've seen Les Chansons D'Amour dozens of times and that scene still gives me chills. 

-He broods so very often.
And brooding is a good move for a gorgeous French actor.


I love the eyebrows. 


On the bright side...
-He looks like he would be fun to snuggle with. 
-And like he might be fun in person. 
Or just weird.
