Aw, I think you really need glasses, because you’re obviously horribly wrong. James is an amazingly sexy man, with or without his trademark hair. Perhaps you can get a life or something akin to one. Keep your kindergarten comments to yourself, kthx.
Wow! Hormonal teen can’t see another person’s point of view, calls other person juvenile name and then tries to shut down conversation with catch phrase! How... typical. Sadly, a number of people reported that James was looking way too thin at Houston. Unhealthy does not equal sexy, no matter what the anorexics on TV would have you think. I’m just hoping it’s too many late-night recording sessions, not something more serious.
Take a look at his upper arm in that last pic - he may be a little thin, but he’s hardly emaciated/unhealthy. I think that he’s good looking, though that’s a matter of opinion, of course. I definitely like his look better than the chunky look we were getting from some of the other Buffy/Angel guys. He’s what - 42 or 43 or so? Looking very good.
There were a lot of comments about him not looking/acting like himself at Houston (mostly in private posts among fans). It seems to have been a temporary situation as it was reported that he look better (still thin) a few weeks later on his Uk tour. So for those of you who need glasses, their was a difference.
I think James looks good, he is naturally thin and has just gone down to a normal weight for him. I think trying to stop smoking and eating sweet things made him put on weight before. I never realised how much weight he’d put on until looking at Angel 5 straight after watching Buffy 6.
I don’t think he needs to bulk up! He’s never sexier than when he’s thin and toned, like in Season Six of Buffy. But the man does need hair. I’m sort of partial to hair.
To each his/her own. Personally I think he looks good. I do prefer him with a bit more hair and a smidge more weight on him. But having been fortunate enough to meet the guy recently and get a hug I can honestly say that up close he looks very good, very well, slim but not skinny. And boy does he give good hug. :0)
I love James to death, but I think he looks tired in these pictures. He looks worn out. I’m not sure, but he looks a little skinnier than usual, too. He’s been very busy lately. He needs a break.
It always amazes me how critical people on these boards are. The Buffyverse stars are either too fat or too thin, they’re too tired, they need to do something with their hair, their make-up, their outfit, or whatever. They’re just human beings, though. If one were to take a picture of me, depending on the day, my outfit, my mood, and how much sleep I got the night before, I might sometimes appear too fat or too thin, too tired, or worn out. It’s like we hold these stars up to a higher standard than we do ourselves, and yet they still have days when they didn’t get enough sleep, when they want to relax without worrying about every aspect of their appearance, etc.
’Naturally - no, I don’t think so. He stated last year at the 2004 the Aussie Cons, that he has been chasing a body type for 7 years and is hungry a lot of the time. He has also said that he weighed 200lbs before he came to LA - but lost the weight because he noticed that most of the actors had celery thin thighs. If fans really follow his career, instead of just drooled, they might have more facts to base your assumptions on.
ok read that he said that in Oz, forgot,not perfect. But, photos in high school - very thin. Northern Exposure - thin. Theatre role photo thin 1995/1996 - thin. So not just making assumptions, using eyes.
He looks a little skinners (skinny.) here. As for the Shaved head? If he does a Spike movie at least he’ll grow his hair back and bleach it even though we all know how it hurt poor James but he’s still quite the teddy bear. (Ok I know I am not making any sense. My brain never functions well at this time of day.) I love you James.
Yes he did say those things. So. If I feel that he looks okay, if a little on the thin side, so what. He’s also said that he has a 10 pound window. He adds 10 pounds people tell him he’s gone too big, lose 10 pounds people tell him he’s too skinny. The guy can’t win. Plus, he is only quite slight frame-wise and about 5’8" so 10 pounds either way would be more noticeable on him.
Personally I think he looked his best at the end of S4 and beginning of S5. And his current look is a faaaar cry from how he looked in S6. He looked terrible then and these pictures don’t compare at all. But that’s just my opinion. Also, it might be worth considering that he has recently had knee surgery. He injured his knee several years ago and has been seen very clearly to be suffering with it. Maybe he’s kept his weight down to help with the knee, and the pain could also explain why he looks tired. That’s just pure speculation, but at least it’s not senseless "Ewwww"ing over how he looks.
Yes, the knee thing is speculation, but it is good speculation. I’ve had knee problems and keeping weight down is important when it comes to keeping pain and problems under control. If that’s the story, I admire him for being able to do it. It’s quite a struggle, because it’s not as if eating that ice cream sundae makes your knee hurt right away.
i think it could be the knee because pain will take your appetite away. I mean he kept the extra weight on through Buffy 7 and Angel 5 so losing it might not be just cosmetic. Mind you reading what he eat in UK he must be feeling better.
I wish people here on the board would try to be more polite toward the opinions of others.
Depending on what kind of body type you prefer you either consider James too thin or just right. I used to be eating disordered for 10 yrs. and therefore weight issues are an immanent problem of my every day life... when looking at James I look at him and measure his weight, his body fat and muscle. But guess what - even non-anorexic people do that because we are all slaves to that bloody stupid body image that Hollywood has created/represents.
James probably just like any other.
My only concern is for James to stay healthy and take care of himself.
yep, i am agreeing with you there isabell, when i first looked at this thread, and of course the pics at the top i thought, wow i have found pretty much a bitching thread about how james is just not right. well everyone is different and everyone likes differnt things about people....deal and move on. accept things/people as they are, trying to change them doesn’t work, you aren’t looking at them but at what you think they ought to be. thats my 2 peneth worth (ducks behind a big rock)
all that aside, thank you for the pictures, I think they are great and show james just as he is, gorgeous in my opinion.
Hey, everobody, check this out: James Marsters concert dvd is REALEASD! You can order it by internet. I WANT IT! I WANT IT! HES SO SEXY ON IT!!!!!!!!!!!
James is a gorgeous man that looks tired...maybe from the flu,his knee,touring,being on the go 24/7,all of it... He needs a break,needs to relax a bit...and a nice homecooked meal that I’d be happy to feed him by hand...;) JMsPatricia/jamesSoulmate
I think that he’s dropped dead gorgeous, don’t matter if his thin or not. The important thing is that, he’s a good guy inside and out, and that makes him more sexier and badder than any guy that looks physically fit!!!
I still love and adore James. It don’t matter if his thinner than the usual, its the inner him that i learn to love...the physique is just a bonus*stick out tounge*
At the Sacremento cons (July 2005) he was asked about his weight. He said he has to work at staying thin. His family leans toward stocky and if he doesn’t starve himself, he gets heavy. He is NOT genetically thin.
