Hugh Dancy Archives

Claire Danes and British actor Hugh Dancy got married in a low-key wedding in France earlier this month.

Life & Style reports the small ceremony was attended just by family and close friends. Claire, 30, and Hugh, 34, met over two years ago on the set of Evening in Newport, R.I.

“He’s such a cutie patootie,” Claire told BlackBook magazine. “While relationships are work, this just didn’t feel like it. It’s the kind of work that feels energizing rather than enervating. I find it very freeing to know that, okay, it takes constant nurturing and attention, but I can also stop looking for the one.”

Congrats to the happy couple!!!

Hugh Dancy gets primary-colored paint splattered across his body and face as a nod to the troubled abstract expressionist painter Jackson Pollock. The pic is featured in BlackBook’s latest rebel-themed August 2009 issue.

Other iconic rebels Hugh channels include James Dean, Oscar Wilde, and Sid Vicious (all pictured below). Here are some highlights from the 34-year-old British actor’s interview:

On Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious: “To be a real rebel, you must have a clear vision of not only what you don’t like, but also what you want to replace it with. It’s about more than just cutting yourself with a razor.”

On author Oscar Wilde: “I think Wilde did something remarkable, at least by the standards of his society: He painted his vision of life, not only by being gay, but also through his shockingly new ideas about how we should look at art.

On his own brush with controversy (the rumor that he caused Claire Danes and Billy Crudup to break up): “I’m English, and I have a very well developed sense of denial. When attention like that becomes a problem, I try to blot it out as if it’s not there. I guess it’s in my genetic makeup.”

The 33-year-old British actor will next star in Adam, an unlikely love story with costar Rose Byrne. Even Hugh was surprised by the way the film ultimately came together: “Because of the nature of who Adam is, I was quite locked inside myself while filming. My experience was inside a bubble. Then I saw it and realized it’s a movie about connections, and it’s very accessible in that way. Adam’s oddnesses only serve as a metaphor for all of us trying to make contact, all of us trying to reach out to another human being.”

Hugh, who splits his time between London and New York, has an obvious knack for connecting. Asked about his relationship with fiancee Claire Danes, he responds with a characteristic wrinkling of the eyebrows and a friendly smile, then says, “It’s going very well, thank you.” Even when stonewalling, he can’t help but be utterly charming.
