Handsome Jackals walks in smelling like dirt. When you ask the star where he’s been, he’ll smile so bright it’ll blind you, and tell you straight up, “I’ve been out. Now I’m not.” Then he’s gone: make up, hair, dressing room, lights, camera, smile, and no talking. Handsome is an absolute professional when it comes to his work.
Not to say Handsome doesn’t know a good time. When Clickster is finally done with him, he’s sweating, tired, but still smiling from ear to ear. “I love my job, for real,” he told me without prompting, before being led to the showers to freshen up. You’d be hard pressed to think of someone better to play a beloved character like Mister Slashermouth. With his co-star Jerry Dubberucky, the two have done a magic trick, taking the runaway hit and translating it to the screen without so much as a line getting lost in translation. For fans and critics alike, it’s been both huge relief and captivating treat.

When he comes back, he’s still wearing the Simiri jacket and pants from the shoot, but he’s lost the sunglasses, showing off his big browns. Handsome’s parents were onto something when they named him. Handsome shrugs. “I try not to make a big deal of it,” he says over a dim and gusty. “But I used to get a lot of shit for it in high school.”
I ask him if he was bullied.
He breaks open another winning smile. “By my friends, my girlfriend, hell, I told my guidance counselor I was going into modeling, and all she said was, ‘That makes sense.’” Handsome loves to launch into a tangent, a story, a joke: you wouldn’t know from the dramatic weight of Slashermouth, but Handsome is a natural comedian. He leans back and sips at his dim and gusty. “I probably won’t read this when it comes out. No offense, just… I don’t wanna seem egotistical, you know? Plus I’ll probably be busy.”
Pick up a copy of THE TAGLINE to read the rest, and keep your eyes peeled for THE WEREWOLF JOURNALS, Sundays @ 6 PM.
Handsome claims he doesn't eat grapes, because the skin is poisonous to dogs.
Handsome never returned the jacket or the pants.
