This man is one of the greatest actors alive. Completely embodies the roles he plays.

OMG, Joaquin looks so young and relaxed here, i remember when i watched Gladiator on the theater, i was 12 but I remember the ending made me cry.

He was young, very handsome, but mysterious at the same time back then

[@Katie-j8w]

@@conmane3341that’s kind of what makes him interesting but also endearing to people. He’s introverted, but actually really funny. Probably very misunderstood often.

He looks so much better without that beard.
