Earlier this year, a local lifeguard competed in the most prestigious surf contest in the world, during his work breaks—and he won. I went to the North Shore of Oahu to figure out how Luke Shepardson pulled it off for @GQMagazine’s Summer Issue.

nobody else is squatting 315 ass to grass in jeans just to get a photo for their job like i am https://t.co/IGB9vxLmiD

What's up with that one guy at the gym who's always working out in jeans? @samisreiss investigates for @GQMagazine

"There's guys in the big leagues that have a certain style that I hate," he says mischievously. "They feel like they are the top dogs, and it's just like, oof." Francisco Lindor for @GQMagazine https://t.co/PbIMsyVU93

We've got a new installment of Location Scout, a @GQMagazine interview series where we ask our favorite directors and actors for travel recs where they shot their latest project. Murray Bartlett gives us his picks for Santa Fe, where he filmed OPUS

Went to Chateau John Malkovich for a profile in @GQMagazine's March issue https://t.co/cj3yZfK6c2

Bruce Springsteen is a) constantly visiting the set of his own biopic b) wearing a different jacket every time

Shout out to @PAPPADEMAS, who said yes when I said, "I would like to publish a gallery that's just Shea Whigham wearing historical hats"

AppleTV+ is free this weekend; read this @GMPaiella piece on their dominance of the Prestige Dad TV niche, then go watch from a standing position 5 feet from the TV like a Prestige Dad

The best way I can endorse Chris is: this is what it was like to work on this piece with him

I interviewed Rob Paparozzi, Timothée Chalamet’s harmonica coach on A Complete Unknown (who had never seen a Timothée Chalamet movie)

Welcome to Location Scout, a new @GQMagazine interview series where we ask our favorite directors and actors for travel recs where they shot their latest project. First up: Robert Eggers, who spent 9 months in Prague for NOSFERATU

GQ asked me to contribute to their year-end culture survey, and I decided to take it back to 1971 to write about my current favorite song and a 2024 film that was actually not my favorite. https://t.co/ZoTxEH4A9d

Honored to be included on this epic @GQMagazine panel for their Best of 2024 In Culture — and happy to have abused it as a space to rant about something passionately and insanely: The Best Season of Television This Year That Didn't Get Enough Credit.

I wrote about fatherhood and WWII audiobooks for the @GQMagazine year-end culture survey: https://t.co/Mbq2PXM6fP

Gave ⁦@GMPaiella⁩ brief unfettered access to my Emersonian mind for the ⁦@GQMagazine⁩ year end culture round up. Reminder that there’s still 11 days left to catch Adam Driver setting a Kenneth Lonergan play on fire.

I wrote about Denzel Washington's robes in Gladiator II if only because I wanted an excuse to post photos of every robe Denzel wears in the movie

"In Cave's version, Gladiator II would have closed with a 20-minute montage depicting Maximus fighting in a succession of historical wars, from the Crusades all the way to Vietnam." Oh yes ... @PAPPADEMAS on the doomed Nick Cave Gladiator sequel:
