I just thought they made Dan look dorky in many of the scenes with that
plastered down hair. I mean, I know he cut it for Equus (or personal
reasons, perhaps?), but he looks way cooler in regular "Dan" photos.
Especially the premier photos...what a cutie, all dapper in his suits!
So different from Rupert in style, huh? Was that funny that Rupert was
wearing a Harry T-shirt at the LA premier! He said he just saw it in a
shop the day before and decided to wear it. I'm sure Dan had his suits
custom-tailored weeks before the premieres. LOL!
