Tom Ford Thinks Having a Dick in Their Ass Would Make Men Understand Women Better
CelebritiesDirt BagWriter/director/intellectual/mannequin Tom Ford, one of a few gay men in Hollywood whom I (with considerable delusion, by the way) consider to be my personal nemesis, was profiled by Taffy Brodesser-Akner in GQ this month, and decided to share more of his wackadoo thoughts about life, death, fashion, taking “three to five power baths” a day, and the way men should and should not live their lives.
Consider the lede, in which Ford reveals that he thinks like a high school boy who has taken his first hit from a joint:
Tom Ford thinks about death all day, if you want to know the truth. “I look at a puppy and I think, ‘Oh my God, that puppy’s so beautiful. Oh, it’s just going to be old and die.’ And that makes that puppy even more beautiful.” He leans forward. “I like flowers. They’re beautiful. I think, ‘Well, they’re going to be dead in three or four days, but my God, aren’t they beautiful now?’ ” He leans back and exhales. “Everything’s so transient,” he says. “Everything dies.”
While we’re on the subject of everything dying, Ford says his 4-year-old son Jack is “so happy” because he hasn’t learned “the secret.” And that secret, he says, “is that he’s going to die.” But Jack isn’t as happy as he could be, as Ford has banned him from wearing a favorite pair of shoes outside the house. Writes GQ:
A sore subject in the Ford household: Jack has some light-up dinosaur shoes, and sometimes he tries to wear them to school, and when Ford catches him doing this, he has to step in. “What does Dada say about the dinosaur shoes?” “They’re tacky.” “And when are we allowed to wear them?” “On weekends.”
This must be exhausting for you, but I have one more whopper to share. At one point in the piece, Ford explains that men would “understand women” if they’d get fucked every once in a while.
