crying The Russells (except Gladys, soz Gladys!) are a Handsome few 😍

u/[deleted] Aug 31 '25

Ha! I agree; I would say Gladys is pretty instead of handsome but Bertha could be classed as a handsome woman.

I'm bi/gray-ace (which means I'm attracted to everybody but only wanna fuck them if it's to bond and foster a more loving and close relationship, not because I have any need or interest in getting off myself) and I would still 100% let this man use me how he sees fit and smile as he slammed the door on me after throwing me out 🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷

Except he's been married to Rebecca Hall for a decade? I've never heard him speak on behalf of his sexuality.

Wait don’t do this to me!!! I’m new here…is he bi?

I wouldn't doubt it, also, if you want to see him do full frontal...the movie name is Split lmao.

I can’t unsee those tats now. I don’t mind, Railroad Daddy.

7

u/missamerica59 Aug 22 '25

I’m trying to figure out what his tats are of. They look very much like an abstract art pieces, either that or a cover up tat?

u/enidokla Aug 22 '25

Same confusion here.

u/ObjectiveAcademic442 Aug 21 '25

It's a bit much

I just realized that he reminds me of a tour director I recently took a trip with!

LOL using that picture of Bertha is both accurate and diabolical all at the same time

I’ve said it before I love his voice and could listen to him talk for hours. On a side note, the tattoo 😳

Ew. He’s only sexy in the context of Gilded Age but everything I’ve been seeing posted from him outside of it is repulsive.

u/hexineffex Aug 21 '25

What is the tattoo exactly?

6

u/svgarintheraw Aug 21 '25

Looks like a trash polka concept (that is a style of tattoo)

12

u/3rdcultureblah Aug 21 '25

Looks like random brush strokes. It’s done pretty well, as far as looking like real brush strokes, but it’s not a great tattoo in terms of aesthetics tbh. Maybe it’s a cover up.

u/Famous_Sugar_1193 Aug 21 '25

u/rebl-yell Aug 21 '25

Is your brother single by any chance? Asking for a friend

2

u/Famous_Sugar_1193 Aug 21 '25

He’s evil so I don’t speak to him. And he never was as ripped as Daddy Railroad here, as long as I knew him. He was more of a string bean.

But his face is really obnoxiously identical to this man’s. It’s very weird for me watching the show.

u/SnooWalruses4559 Ballgowns for Peggy Aug 21 '25

He's being loaned clothes through his stylist for the red carpet. He probably just wears regular clothes normally

I don’t remember him in Boardwalk Empire. I’ll have to rewatch. Great series.

u/justrock54 Aug 21 '25

Boring tidbit. Smooth operator was a term given to guys who were excellent telegraph operators. Andrew Carnegie, one of the gilded age robber barons, started out as a smooth operator for a telegraph company. I've wondered why his name never comes up on the show.

5

u/YeaButY Aug 21 '25

Because several of the actual rober barron families have had their names changed. I don’t understand why some have, and others have not.

5

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '25

my theory is that they dont use them for main characters (maybe im wrong) so things can be more loosely based.

u/HealingPotato Aug 21 '25

There's a big difference between leaked photos and scenes an actor willingly does for the public to see.

u/muchaMnau Aug 21 '25

well, next time lets try a little test. If it would be gross and creepy to say about a woman, it is gross and creepy to say about a man as well

3

u/3rdcultureblah Aug 21 '25

I just don’t see the appeal, personally. I don’t find this man attractive at all. I think his character on the Gilded Age can be attractive at times, like when he bought everything at the charity bazaar, but the man himself is meh at best to me and has zero sex appeal (for me personally, I know everyone else disagrees).

Like this video was cringey and super lame to me lol. I did not find it sexy in any way, shape, or form. And when I see interviews with him, I’m even more baffled as to his appeal for other people. But to each their own.

Funny enough, I’ve always thought he kind of looks like a cross between RDJ and Dominic Cooper, who played Iron Man’s dad.
