Yes! I wonder what he thinks of these old pictures too... I did see an interview with him on telly a few years ago (for JJD I think, or maybe even Apparitions) and they put up the pic of him with one hand on his slightly canted hips, the other holding a massive gun, and basically talked about how camp it looked to us know, and he was saying well yes, but that wasn't what they thought back when it was taken, it was just a picture... and that made me wonder just the kind of questions you're thinking about here! Or is he like my mum, and thinks things like "Oh well, that was a long time ago, when things were different.."?!
And I guess that was one of the things MS is often smacked for, isn't it - that he always said he didn't like the "celebrity" public eye part of being an actor, because what he wanted to do was act... which I think is actually a pretty good thing to think and way to be, but he really got slammed for it over the years - which is good evidence that he was right about it too... and look at that horrible Daily Mail article about LC, which must have been some time when he'd just become sick... pure nastiness, that was for, and I hate that side of the British media... MS was definitely right, I'd say!
