James Marsden’s Clean Start

James Marsden demonstrates how to achieve spring’s unfettered look in GQ’s latest issue. Check out this snippet from GQ of the 34-year-old actor:

With bone structure like this, James Marsden is the kind of actor you expect to get the girl. But he doesn’t. Ever. As Cyclops in X-Men, he was overshadowed by Wolverine. In The Notebook, Rachel McAdams chose Ryan Gosling. In Superman Returns, he’s engaged to Lois Lane, and yet she still had a kid with Superman! (spoiler alert) But in this month’s 27 Dresses, Marsden plays opposite Knocked Up’s Katherine Heigl, and he finally comes out on top.

“I’ve been up-and-coming for fifteen years now,” he says. “And to tell you the truth, it’s the perfect place to be.” It certainly makes fatherhood easier (he’s married with two kids). “I can still walk into the grocery store and most people don’t even blink an eye. If I can manage to still be up-and-coming when I’m 80 years old, then I’ll know I’ve had the ultimate career.”

Enchanted Movie: James Marsden, Amy Adams

I pledge allegiance to The Statue of Marsden…  Co-stars Amy Adams and James Marsden were busy filming more scenes this past Monday on the Brooklyn Bridge for their upcoming Disney film, Enchanted.  Enjoy this sneak peek of what looks like the wedding dress of Amy Adam’s character.  (She apparently marries Patrick Dempsey’s character in Central Park.) And Marsden definitely looks to have stocked up on NYC souvenirs… a NYC taxi bag, Empire State Building statue, and best of all — a goofy Statue of Libery crown!  After the jump, Marsden and Adams film in more casual clothing… picking up weiners at the Sabrett hot dog stand!  More pictures in the gallery!

Enchanted Movie

Enchanted is a Disney film currently in production.  It uses both traditional 2D animation and live-action - the animation depicts the fantasy/fairy tale world, and the live-action depicts New York. Giselle (Amy Adams), a girl from an animated world is thrown out by the evil Queen Narissa (Susan Sarandon) into live-action New York, where the girl falls for a man living in the city. The film will be the first live-action/animation film by Disney since 1988 film Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Legendary Disney music composer Alan Menken will be providing the film’s original score.

Confirmed cast — Amy Adams as Giselle, Susan Sarandon as Queen Narissa and James Marsden as Prince Edward.  In negotiations — Patrick Dempsey as Robert and Idina Menzel as Nancy. Tentative release date is November 2, 2007. More pictures in the gallery of James Marsden, 33, in NYC’s Times Square filming an Enchanted scene atop a city bus.  Go MTA!
