An ode to Oscar Isaac, the most beguiling man of 2021 — by sangeetaskurtz
Photo-Illustration: by The Cut; Photos: HBO, Warner Bros., Getty Images The cycle of internet boyfriends-slash-husbands has been too difficult to keep up with lately, but I feel there’s one man who stands out every year as the dominant obsession. In the past, this person has been distinguished by his huge body, hot chain, or clerical collar, but the person I believe to be this year’s crush has none of these gimmicks — he is simply captivating.
Idris Elba has something of this quality. George Clooney did too, before his reclusive tequila-dad era, while Chris Pratt has the opposite. I can’t really name it, but I’d just say you know it when you see it. “He makes me want to learn how to ballroom dance, I can’t explain it,” said one out-of-touch friend, who doesn’t even know who Isaac is, when shown a photo of him.
And then there are moments that don’t hinge on his talent or looks but seem to rely on that certain gallant something I mentioned earlier. I mean, is it even possible to watch that red-carpet video of him kissing Jessica Chastain’s armpit without feeling undressed? There’s a kind of gall to the whole affair that shocks and electrifies, even more so because the kiss is not the most intimate part.
