When Rutger Met Ridley: rutger_hauer_ql.jpgProducer Michael Deeley has a new memoir called Blade Runners, Deer Hunters, And Blowing The Bloody Doors Off—My Life in Cult Movies, among whose juicy Blade Runner anecdotes include Rutger Hauer’s introduction to Ridley Scott. Hauer’s wardrobe included “pink silk pants and a Kenzo sweater with a fox fur draped over his shoulder. He had bleached his hair and was wearing Elton John-style glasses. Ridley was seriously upset, convinced that we had foisted on him a gay activist to play the most aggressively masculine part in the picture.” Forget about a must-read — this is a must-see. Pictures, anyone? [La Daily Musto]

Seriously, who cares how Rutger looked- if you read his bio he wrote he did it to try to get the part, not because he dressed in the dark- he was going for a "android feel". he got the part and Ridley made a great choice.... are all your outfits so perfect- think not- nick one up for
"it worked"
