I just don't buy it. He's grey and stiff and so boring. Why would a girl half his age be interested? Nothing against an age gap - age is more about the person than a number - but Cary Grant was probably born old.
shareIs this poster insane? Cary Grant was still hot as hell in this movie.
And he was the only leading man, IMO, who actually had very real onscreen chemistry with Audrey Hepburn. Poor Audrey was matched up with so many leading men who looked and acted like they came from a completely different era. Cary Grant, even though he was older and from the Golden Age of Hollywood, fit in with that early hip 1960s "swinging" sensibility that Hepburn helped define. He was older, yes, but he was more of "her time" (if that makes sense).
But he was a ladies man... like in real life during a significant amount of time men wanted to be like him and women wanted to be with him... he was an influence on the James Bond character (Ian Fleming said it himself).
