That “invitation” could be kind of dangerous what with the crowds BC is known to attract!!!!
They might have to set up barriers - 🤣

In some pics Margo Stilley looks quite like Sophie H. Stilley is mainly famous here for having starred in “9 Songs” , the first mainstream movie in which the sex scenes were real. Stilley and her co star (who she did not know in real life) actually had sex on screen several times throughout the movie. Not sure what I think about that. There’s artistic integrity and all that but I can’t help but question the Director’s motives. If I were an actress I would certainly have refused to do it. But maybe I’m old fashioned. I remember that movie. I watched it and I knew the sex scenes were real but to be honest, I don’t remember it being particularly sexy or erotic! If if she is playing the character I think she is playing then she is the much younger woman Sonny plans to abandon his old wife, played by Holliday Graiger who is actually 6 years younger than Stilley! (Of course, Grainger character is bigger and is a twenty something in an early episode!). But I just saw some photos and she looks stunning. Probably more than when she did 9 Songs so I think she totally looks the part of an international super model! In the book, Patrick feels attracted to her but when he hears who she is he desists because he knows he doesn’t have a chance!

He looks the way he should if he is playing the character of Patrick Melrose to me. Isn’t that character supposed to be someone who is has a nose for drugs and isn’t living a model existence?
I am sure the insurance company wouldn’t let him put his health in any real jeopardy. And he looked fine in the video he did for thee UN just the other day.

Except that this is the Patrick of the later books where he’s just drinking and taking benzos, isn’t it? So he shouldn’t be that thin. It’s the vegan diet, I think. Now I’m all worried that he’s developed anorexia or something...

Probably it's Patrick after his stay in the hospital (the scenes we saw in the trailer). It was a recent flashback in the books but it seems to me they will focusing in them here.

But how come there wasn’t one post of concern for his appearance when the pix from the “draw a line” campaign were posted here? He looks the same to me and that was only a couple of days ago. I am still thinking it is the costume/makeup for the series. BTW being a heavy drinker/alcoholic or being under great psychological stress can be the cause of weight loss as well.
Honestly after listening to the Vanity Fair video done at TIFF I am not even sure the reports of him being a vegan were even accurate. It could be true (although we never actually heard him make any statement that he was a vegan) but that video was only a few months ago and even if he had switched to a vegan diet since September I don’t think any change in diet could cause an “anorexic” type weigh drop, could it?
I really don’t think he looks that thin.

I think it’s mainly makeup to make him look older and showing the wear and tear of years of addiction. He is quite distraught in one picture. I attribute that to the restrictive vegan diet - maybe he wanted to experience agony and powerless rage in the face of vengeful god first hand. Method acting!
I’m with Ellie. I prefer him thin. It just seems to be his natural body type.

I think this is old Patrick, probably after spending sometime in a mental institution and during his mother’s funeral. So it’s not surprising he doesn’t look well. He looked great in the charity ad from a few days ago, tho.!
