    I never realized that he was a handsome man IRL. How odd.

    And BTW, I can’t stand to see Shakespeare acted that way. FFS, the characters are supposed to be alive. Go watch some Kenneth Branagh and/or Emma Thompson. Best yet, check out the 90s version of Romeo and Juliet with DiCaprio and Danes. Holy shit. I’ve never understood a Shakespeare work so clearly.
