Vince Chase: Hot and Hairy Feminist?
“I’m a feminist, so if there was anything that was untrue I would be on it. But you should see some of the girls out in LA. Entourage is remarkably honest. I don’t think it pulls its punches, let’s say. There are a wide range of different types of women characters. It’s not just the superficial bimbo, although we do have a coupleof them: that’s part of what the LA experience is. But then you have strong characters like Carla Gugino, who plays Amanda - she’s smart, and strong, and a great actress - those are the women that stand out to me, the rest are superficial backdrop.”-
Says Adrian Grenier in a Guardian interview via Jezebel.
I want to hate him because of this statement, but I just can’t. Those eyes are irresistible (how’s that for reverse sexism, eh?) and I think his opinion about the range of female roles on Entourage is valid. The silicone floozies are as ubiquitous as the paparazzi in L.A. and if the show was filled with strong, intelligent Jezebel- reading, hot, and powerful women, it would no longer be a show about a choad actor and his buddies partying in Tinseltown. Rather, it would be what we had hoped The Return of Jezebel James could have been if it didn’t completely blow.
If Adrian Grenier is a feminist, he’s a “Do-Me” Feminist. Unlike the writers of Entourage, I do “pull punches.”
