The 32 year old actor is one of the hottest things to have come out of Britain in the world of acting in recent years. Gracing the stage and our TV sets as impressively as he does the big screen, Redmayne has single handedly made freckles the hottest accessory of the season. Acting (and singing) talent aside, Redmayne is known for his style. Here we take a moment to choose a few of our favourite looks and let you in on the secrets to recreating them.
When it comes to relationship breakdowns, there are certain stigmas attached to both sexes. Women- that they will turn into blithering messes who who will cry themselves to sleep over a tub of ice cream for the best part of a year. Men- that they have no emotion at all about the whole thing and will proceed to engage in mindless sex with anyone who will give it. Of course, there are examples of both of these types of people, but they occur equally in both men and women. Here we debunk 5 break up myths that have been plaguing men for years.
Today 238 million professionals covering over 200 countries and territories are members of LinkedIn. 400 million tweets ring out every day. 700 million people use Facebook daily. The statistics are staggering, and any savvy job searcher will utilise these tools to bag THAT job. We decided to narrow the minefield down to 10 tips to be a social media champ.
Every morning our first obligation (nutritionally speaking) is to get our metabolism burning at its peak, ASAP. The earlier in the day that you get your metabolism running at full clip, the more efficiently we can process the food we eat and get all the energy and nutrients we need.
The Limited Edition Audi R8 LMX has got a lot going for it. Not only is it the most powerful R8 ever (beating the 542bhp R8 V10 Plus) but it has also beaten BMW to become the first production car with laser headlights. No, Audi have not gone all James Bond on us, just what their new laser headlights can do is just as impressive if not quite as dramatically deadly.
Being a man in the 21st century is hard. Being a 20 something is even harder. But being both whilst maintaining a gentleman’s standard? Impossible you cry! Not us. We at the Journal have put our heads together and have come up with 5 tailored lessons for the discerning gentleman in his twenties.
When it comes to the summer and choosing where to spend it, there are few places better than on, in or near the Mediterranean. Here, we take a look at 6 of the most luxurious hotels on offer…
As I sit in The Gentleman’s Journal HQ I can’t help but think of what it would be like to have a home office. It’s not that I dislike our office, quite the contrary, but it’s the thought of the long commute home in the rain or the close contact with fellow flustered commuters that really puts a downer on the whole thing. This is why we have compiled this list of the most beautiful home offices around the world, to inspire us all into creating that perfect working haven without ever leaving the comfort of your own home.
Whilst we all like to pick up the odd bottle of ‘plonk’ during our weekly supermarket shop, sometimes it pays to make a little extra effort and head out to an independent wine shop and take your pick from the glorious bottles on offer. Now this is all very well and good, but we understand how overwhelming this can be. Luckily for you, gents, we’ve enlisted Chris Orr (London Wine Week Guru) to lend a helping hand and select 3 of the best wines (that you can’t buy in a supermarket)…
When you are young, it is easy to forget that it is never too early to start investing and financial planning. In order to obtain power of compound interest, you must hold long term investments and get a healthy return on those investments. It may seem like a long time in the future, but by making smart investments now, it could make the world of difference later in life. Here we list 5 books recommended as the best for young people in regards to finance and investing.
The Sunday Times released their ‘Britain’s Rich List’ this week and it is safe to say it has turned up some interesting results. The amount of billionaires in the UK has risen to more than 100 for the first time ever and our country now has more billionaires per capita than any other country in the world. Of those 104 billionaires they have a combined fortune of £301bn. What’s more, with 72, London has more billionaires than any other city in the world (Moscow is in second with 48). Creator of the list, Philip Beresford, spoke to the BBC, saying “culture, financial services, nice tax regime, good education for their kids and a nice lifestyle where they meet their friends” were among the reasons billionaires were attracted to the UK.
Unless you live under a rock, or simply haven’t been on a single form of social media in the past 12 hours, you will know about the ‘totally shocking’ video that has just surfaced from an elevator after the Met ball of Queen Bey’s younger sister Solange attacking rapper Jay Z – ground breaking news, we know.
50 is a milestone for a gentleman. It’s the age when people not only acknowledge but also respect your opinion, the age to seriously consider that Antarctic cruise you’ve been pondering and, more importantly, the age when you can legitimately purchase a sportscar under the age-old guise of a ‘mid-life crisis’. If, like us at The Gentleman’s Journal, you’ve given this some serious thought, then look no further as may have found you the perfect partner in crime.
The new trailer for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes has been released, and the exciting release depicts man versus ape in an epic battle for survival. The new film stars Gary Oldman, Andy Serkis and Keri Russell and features shots of an apocalyptic North America. As the sequel to 2011’s The Rise of the Planet of the Apes, starring James Franco and Freida Pinto, this film sees scientists accidentally creating advanced primates and spreading a virus fatal to humans. The film is loosely based on the 1972 film Conquest of the Planet of the Apes. The growing nation of genetically evolved apes led by Caesar is threatened by a band of human survivors of the devastating virus unleashed a decade earlier. With impressive graphics, tense music and wide spanning shots – this is certainly a film that we’re excited about.
From falling into fits of laughter, to a young student interviewer who gets confused between John Cusack and Kevin Spacey, these are just a few of our most entertaining celebrity interviews…
We have talked and talked about this year’s Baselworld and the incredible styles that it brought to our attention, but in actuality, it is only now that some of the style from last year are only just coming into stores. This is exactly the case for the Omega “The Dark Side of the Moon” Speedmaster.
Whether it’s for business or pleasure, long-haul or short, travelling can play havoc with your appearance. No matter how stylish your outfit is or how high end your suitcases are, if you come out of the airport with your hair a mess, an unapologetic stubble, bags under your eyes and dry skin, the illusion, my friend is well and truly dead. Luckily enough, slowly but surely some of our favourite grooming brands are catching on to the importance of travel grooming and the rising number of people who no longer bother at all with anything other than carry-on luggage, with companies stepping up to make the art of manoeuvring an on-board bag through security just a little bit easier. So take a look at a few of our favourite travel-friendly grooming products.
Simon Bird, Joe Thomas, Blake Harrison and James Buckley are all back and into their roles for the latest comedy to get us all excited about films again. From becoming one of the most successful comedy shows in the UK in a matter of a few episodes, the foursome brought the roof down when they joined forces for the first Inbetweeners movie. It certainly was not the sort of film you’d want to take your grandparents to, but it certainly was hilarious.
