Zomg, what is this hotness that is RJ Mitte?
Ok, in all seriousness, this is why I go ga-ga for Walt Jr. in Breaking Bad, and I think Tamra will agree—the reason RJ Mitte is so hot is because he’s so real. Nothing about him says plastic surgery, personal trainers, or high-and-mighty. His look is asymmetrical, and therefore surprisingly real and yet striking.
It’s sort of like this long standing conversation I’ve had with friends about orthodontia. With a perfect row of pearly whites, a person can start to look a little stepford-y. But with a nearly perfect smile...(I now feel like I’m trying to justify not wearing my retainer.)
Whether or not Mitte uses trainers, has had work done, or throws his water bottles at his assistants, I don’t want to know. Sometimes the beauty is in the not knowing. I, behind on pop culture, am just starting the show and just discovering Mitte. But, I’m curious where this path will take him.
To quote Patti Smith:
“Where does it all lead? What will become of us? These were our young questions, and young answers were revealed.
It leads to each other. We become ourselves.” —Just Kids, by Patti Smith
I hope to see more people of disabilities in the public eye. People who have actual disabilities. I hope that graphic narrative artists like Genevieve Tyrrell will bring them to the forefront in print, and that shows like Breaking Bad will keep them in the media.
