Last weekend the Three Amigos (Alejandro G. Innaritu, Alfonso Cuaron, Guillermo del Toro) had dinner at KOL, a trendy Mexican-British fusion restaurant in London’s Marylebone restaurant (9 Seymour Street), with Tom Cruise, who’s currently collaborating with Inarritu on a mystery project that Cruise is starring in and producing. The costars in the Cruise-Inarritu are Sandra Huller, John Goodman, Michael Stuhlbarg, Jesse Plemons, Sophie Wilde and Riz Ahmed.
The blonde is HE’s own Kim Morgan, GDT’s wife and screenwriting collaborator; the guy on the right is KOL chef Santiago Lastra. Guillermo was with a cane because he’d broken a toe.
You’ll notice that with the exception of Lastra they’re all wearing thick-soled, leather lace-up boots. Even Morgan is wearing Doc Martin lace-ups. Was it because damp weather was expected or something? Because otherwise I don’t get it. If I had been there I would’ve eiher worn my brown suede Beatle boots or my suede, Italian-made hush puppies. I believe in sleek, unobtrusive footwear. Mostly the kind of dapper shoes that Cary Grant or Fred Astaire would’ve worn. Boots are klumpy things. They’re about dominance, power, alpha-male attitude.
