The Westworld and X-Men star on what he likes about the Lion City

SINGAPORE — By now, most television buffs would have caught Westworld, HBO’s futuristic blockbuster about an amusement park set in the Wild West, where rich guests can have their way with their android “hosts”.

But even as audiences prepare for the series’ highly-anticipated season finale on Monday (Dec 5 at 10am Singapore time), actor James Marsden, who plays a gun-slinging host on the show, has been having a considerably more relaxing time than his character on Westworld.

Voted one of the handsomest men alive, James Marsden can make a boring grey couch look good. He sits on one across from us, looking eager and sprightly for a Wednesday morning.

After completing his run as Cyclops, aka Scott Summers, in the X-Men trilogy, Marsden is back to electrify fans with his boyish charm. He returns as the handsome Teddy Flood, a cowboy with a quick draw, in HBO’s latest series, “Westworld”.

Westworld star James Marsden has only ever met well-known actress Anna Kendrick briefly, whom he described as a “delightful woman with a great sense of humour”.

But he made enough of an impression for her to tell a Buzzfeed reader looking for self-improvement tips, “You should imagine that you have the spirit of Oprah, and the face of James Marsden, and just project that in your daily life.”

Asked what he makes of this advice, the 43-year-old American laughed and told Yahoo Singapore wryly, “I don’t know about the James Marsden part, but I agree with the Oprah part.”

SINGAPORE: Will James Marsden get the girl this time?

Judging from his on-screen track record, chances may be quite slim. The star’s on-screen love life has been less than stellar, especially in his roles in The Notebook and The Best of Me.

But the actor is hopeful his character Teddy Flood, in science fiction thriller series Westworld, will buck that trend.

“There are a lot of people out there theorising about where this is going, what it all means and who’s a robot and who’s not. I find that the show is most satisfying when you just let it all unfold in its organic time. That said, I have hope that they will be together, I love the emotional connection that they have,” he said of Teddy’s relationship with Dolores, played by Evan Rachel Wood.

“Westworld” actor James Marsden made an appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” where he dished on his crush on Helen Mirren.

James gushed, “I just love her. I do. I’ve had a massive crush on her for years. [I] didn’t meet her backstage.”

James went on to tell his story about that the time he stalked her at the airport. “I’m glad I’m waiting to be on national television to admit this. But I was on a flight with her once to Rome. And when I got off the flight, I followed her to baggage claim and in a very voyeuristic, creepy way I took a photo of her while she was walking. Very creepy! I was avoiding seeing her backstage because I didn’t want her to know I was stalking her in Rome in an international airport.” Watch!

James Marsden and Darren Aronofsky might have a lot of things going on for them (Marsden with Westworld and Aronofsky with Jackie) at the moment, but the two Americans are making time for a visit to Singapore this week. Now in its 27th year, the Singapore International Film Festival (SGIFF) will see a slew of celebrities gracing the red carpet at Marina Bay Sands. Apart from Marsden and Aronofsky, you’ll also get to see acclaimed talents such as Michelle Yeoh and Simon Yam. That is, if you’re lucky.

Successful in franchises such as X-Men, Superman Returns and rom-coms such as 27 Dresses, The Notebook and Enchanted, Marsden comes to us thanks to IWC Schaffhausen, who continues their official partnership with the festival. As the watch brand’s ambassador, Marsden will be attending the SGIFF Benefit Dinner.

Also attending this exclusive soiree is Aronofsky, who’s hot on the heels of the trailer releases of Jackie, which he’s producing. A name behind films such as Requiem for a Dream and Black Swan, the director and producer lends his craft to the Natalie Portman-led film about Jackie Kennedy and her life following the assassination of her husband and then president of the United States, John F. Kennedy. You’ll also get to pick his brains at the masterclass to be held in ArtScience Museum.

Anyone with eyes can see James Marsden is a good-looking dude.

And on CBS’ The Late Show Tuesday, Stephen Colbert complimented the Westworld actor on a recent honor that made it official. “GQ has named you the World’s Most Handsomest Man,” he said. “First of all, does that come with anything? Is there a medal or cash prize, or do you just get to keep your face?” Hamming it up, Marsden smoldered at the camera and feigned humility. “No, it’s just my lot. It’s just a burden,” he said. “It’s just an albatross around my neck.”

“As a teenager, were you a stud growing up?” Colbert asked.
