Eric Idle, "The Holy Grail"
|
| One
of my favourites. Eric on the set of Holy Grail, reading. How typical. That hair
spread out in back of him, and a cheeky smile on his face. How can
you go wrong? This is why I love Eric folks, pictures like this.
A
very whimsical picture of the goodly knight, Sir Robin. Makes him
look positively beatific. I wonder what that book is... Ah!
"Knighthood for Dummies". Below his level, really. |
Well, he has lovely innocent, child-like eyes in this photo, but a
beard doesn't suit him at all. He looks like a little boy with
hormonal problems. |

Eric Idle, "The Meaning of
Life"
|
| Eric looks very
serious and mature in this photo, which is quite a change of pace.
Sad, too. What can I say? I like the tormented look.
A beautiful picture hampered by the
mustache. I don’t like facial hair on guys, and on Eric it looks
downright creepy. If they’d taken that off Sir Robin, he’d have been
the perfect Eric character. Eric looks rather worried. It makes me
want to give him a big hug. (Of course, I feel like that most of the
time.) |
How did Willy
Wonka end up in a Python movie? The hair does not become him, nor
does the colour pink. Still, Terry Jones is adorable in this photo.
Actually, Terry looks a bit like *me* at this angle... ::shudder::
I want Eric Idle to pop out of my freezer! The wig is unflattering at best, but all is forgiven because this picture manages to make him look even skinnier than usual. Skinny men in general are a good thing. |

| Eric Idle, "Rutland Weekend TV"
|
| Well-proportioned for a skinny guy, I
suppose, but Eric looks much better with his clothes *on*. |
