| Do you know if any of the people who knew Jimmy thought he was attractive? I mean... We all think he is, but i would like to know what was the opinion of his friends who actually got to see him in real life lol. | ◤ |  Anonymous |
A lot of the quote I have read by people who knew him say that he was pretty much average looking. With the exception of a few who LATER made comments about his scruffyness = sexy, most people thought he looked like he just rolled out of bed, with his shaggy hair, messy clothes (not dirty, but mis-matched/wrinkled..that sort of thing), and his glasses. He also didn’t sleep very well so his eyes were aching for rest and his face looked washed out.
To US…that just equals maximum hottness. But if you think about that on just your neighbor going for a walk, you can see how that doesn’t translate. James Dean is the exception and I’m okay with that. :)

| I watched the TV Movie with James Franco as James Dean. I'm not sure if you rate it highly or not, but, I was wondering whether you thought that James Franco did a good impression of him or not and was he actually viewed as being slightly odd or not? | ◤ | Anonymous |
I think James Franco did a pretty good job considering the script he was given based on someones life that could fill DAYS of film. He said that he really did do a lot of research on Dean to get into the role and even tried out a bit of “method” acting to get into the role and I think it worked out pretty well for the most part! And as for being viewed as slightly odd, I think Dean was just so ahead of his time and so into life and people that people living in those times weren’t really used to his style. Almost every person who knew Dean and discusses him in an interview talks about how different he was —-whether they received him as good or bad is one thing but no one ever really considered him as ordinary (other than his looks…which they obviously got wrong anyway, come on).
| Do you know if Jimmy had any tattoos or what he thought about them? | ◤ | Anonymous |
No, he didn’t have any though I bet he would have had he had more time. I think that being someone who had such a great interest and involvement in so many things he would have liked to keep certain things close to him in that way. He was very thoughtful, emotional and artistic so I bet he would have had something done someday….or at least I like to think that haha
But I could see him with some! Jimmy Dean would rock a tramp stamp like you’ve NEVA SEEN
| Hey ! I love your page,it's amazing ! Did you know that Jimmy lived exactly 9000 days? | ◤ | Anonymous |
Thanks!
And I guess I’ve never thought about it but that’s pretty interesting! Though he should have lived 90,000, but what do I know.

| I know that this isn't really asking anything but I just wanted to say, thank you. JD is so near and dear to my heart. So again thank you SO much for keeping him in our thoughts and on our hearts ; ) | ◤ | Anonymous |
That’s an awesome comment, thank you. I started this blog for that very reason! Always good to know another Dean fan :) Enjoy!
Is this what it’s like to love somebody?
