Of course, the teen heartthrob is famously constructed as an embodiment of non-threatening heterosexual masculinity, sometimes androgyny. The role demands a certain softness and sensuality, the kind embodied by that loose swath of Leo’s hair curtaining the intensity of his gaze. But this is a delicate tightrope to walk, as evidenced by frequent gossipy interrogation of teen heartthrobs’ sexuality.
Sympathy aside, the headbands revealed Leo’s hair-in-the-eyes look as highly stylized as opposed to the carelessly mussed fantasy of my projection. The sensitive, poet-y guy perpetually dripping bang-water on his high cheekbone was pure fiction.Whenever I saw one of those pulled-back photos, I felt similarly to when I read a quote from Kate Winslet in that samearticle: “[T]o me, he’s just smelly, farty Leo.” Mostly, I tried to ignore those damn headband pics, and the Kate Winslet quotes.
