Because I have this freak-like obsession with “where are they now” stories, I spend quite a bit of time Googling celebrities who seem to have fallen off the face of the earth. Whatever happened to that adorable kid from Madonna’s Open Your Heart video (my finding is worthy of its own blog posting soon to come), or that faux femme fatale Jaye Davidson? The latter having capitalized on his androgynous beauty in the early 1990s in roles such as Dil in The Crying Game and Ra the Sun God in Stargate. So imagine my surprise when I happened upon Davidson’s facebook fan page and spotted these recent images of the once thick-maned pretty boy (below). Davidson, now 43, has transformed from a convincing vixen of the silver screen to an extremely attractive (and buff, might I add) man.
Where is he now? According to IMDB and Wikipedia he left Hollywood no sooner than he nearly became a household name because he didn’t like the attention that came with his rising star. He now works in London as a fashion assistant, a job he held before making The Crying Game.
(Check out that chair in the background. I think someone hijacked a prop from the set of Stargate.)
