Here are some lovely new photos of my love Eric Bana at last night’s NYC screening of his new film, Closed Circuit. Eric has been in New York for several days now – we had casual photos of him over the weekend too. But Eric can wear a suit! He looks sort of dorky, but still really hot. Eric has beautiful curly hair too, like Benedict Cumberbatch. I have hair envy! I’m also including some photos of Eric’s costars, Julia Stiles (she plays a NYT reporter in the film) and Rebecca Hall (she plays a lawyer and Bana’s lover).
While in NYC, Bana has been doing some somewhat unconventional movie promotion, probably because Closed Circuit is such a politically charged (and politically relevant) film about espionage, government conspiracies, privacy and unintended “leaks”. On yesterday’s NOW with Alex Wagner (on MSNBC), Bana and the director of Closed Circuit were interviewed right after Alex did a segment about Edward Snowden, The Guardian and Glenn Greenwald. Here’s the video:

I love that she name-checked Munich! Munich deserves more love. It barely got any attention when it was first released, but over the years, it’s become something of a must-watch modern classic, and it really is one of Steven Spielberg’s finest and most nuanced films. And Bana is magnificent in it.
Bana also sat down for a low-key ABC interview too:
I kind of wish Bana was a little bit more controversial. I mean, I don’t want him to go “full Miley” and start sticking out his lizard tongue and twerking up a storm (although that would be amazing), but I just want him to be able to do an interesting and notable soundbyte.
And no, I have no idea what Rebecca and Julia are wearing. Both of those dresses are terrible.

Yes, to Munich and back.
“Here are some lovely new photos of my love Eric Bana…”
Um no, Kaiser. He’s MY love.
You have Fassbender, kindly leave Bana all to me.
*unsheathes slut shank for the second time two days in a row*
*eyes mia girl menacingly*
“He’s MY Eric Banana… Bana. Back away, mia girl”
*Grabs Eric (again) and runs out of thread*
Aha! I was waiting for you and your slut shank Dove.
Normally, I’m a “sharing is caring” kind of gal, and might suggest taking turns… but Bana and McAvoy are my serious dong exceptions.
So unless you are fast enough to break the sound barrier you can run off this thread with Bana all you want… But honey you won’t get very far. That man is mine.
*circles mia girl, shank glimmering in the afternoon light*
Mmm…. we’ll see, mia girl. We’ll see. . o_O
Love Eric Bana. And can someone give Rebecca a hair brush? And a stylist? Because she looks awful.
Aw, be fair … obviously she was attacked by a pack of hyenas on the way to the show. They tore the sleeve of her dress and ate her shoes. The black part of the dress (the part that seems to be trapping her right arm) is a make-shift bandage. Luckily she had a pair of wellies in the car, in case of rain.
I don’t think my hair would be a priority in that situation either.
(I refuse to believe any other explanation. Wild hyenas make more sense than fashion.)
LMAO! Too funny!
😉
Haha! Seriously, these girls have no fashion sense at all!
Just saw online that Rebecca’s entire ensemble was a head-to-toe runway look from the Celine fashion show. Note to Rebecca, stylist, or whoever the hell dressed her/procured that outfit: just because it’s designer and just because it was all put together for the runway doesn’t mean it has to be (or should be) worn.
Yes.
Undoubtedly.
I’d whisk him away to my deserted island and have my wicked way with him for the rest of my days.
I’m still hitting him from yesterday. Poor boy is going to need a rest soon.
Yes…loved him in “Munich” and lusted him in “Troy”.
I would hit it as hard today as I hit it yesterday. Keep the Bana pics coming! I would cut off my left big toe to trade places with his wife for a few days.
Munich is one of the movies that I own on DVD because I know I will watch it from time to time. Agree, it’s becoming a classic.
I’m glad to see Julia Stiles, despite her dress. Underrated actress. And she’s got such a lovely speaking voice.
yeah, I’d hit it.. what’s up with Julia though, her face is two-toned.
Not only would I hit it, I would beat the crap out of it. Love me some Bana.
You’re right, Julia is looking kind of weird.
Who dressed Rebecca?
Hyenas.
LMBO 🙂
*snickers*
I find him sexy, but less so than Matt Damon or Ewan MacGregor.
I never got an answer from T.fanty yesterday regarding Bana and the sleaze rumors. What, specifically, do you know? I can’t even find a blind that sounds like it might be him. Spill, please!
Eric just wants to look deeply into your soul and spout poetry while Fassie is a dirty, dirty boy.
OMG..can you imagine being the frosting in that double layer cake?
Could I imagine it…?
*faints*
Wow Julia styles looks good. Dodgy dress which should be burned, but everything else is good.
I will forever love Bana!
The Castle is one of my favourite Australian films ever and his take on ‘A Current Affair’s’ Ray Martin in Full Frontal is dynamite. XD
Yes I would hit it forever! Loooove him!!!
I would not, no. And yet I would hit Viggo Mortensen, and I think they look rather alike.
Why do I not like Julia Styles as an actress?
Bana is so lovely – but gotta say I love him so much more with facial hair – he was beyond gorgeous in Troy – kicked ‘ol boy Pitt’s ass in that department.
WTF is going on with the dresses and styling on both chicks??? Terrible – the worst is Rebecca’s mid-calf boots and random arm hole. Whoever green-lighted those looks needs to be fired.
Not to snark, but I think Rebecca is an exception to the tall-and-thin-people-can-wear-anything rule. I mean…what? If you look at other things she’s worn to premieres they’re always a little off-kilter, which is fine, but things can be off-kilter AND flattering. The boots look like she got them at a Ginger Spice yard sale, and the top of the dress looks like it was ripped after she tried to hug one of her co-stars. Add in her questionable relationship with Sam Mendes (WHY would you date someone you were accused of cheating with?) and I’m left with this: ???
Ginger Spice yard sale LOL
I’m with you Rebecca Hall confuses me too right now on so many levels.
Right? Maybe she just has that I-don’t-give-a-crap attitude, which is admirable, but it’s like are you TRYING to get negative publicity? Because there’s no way she put on that outfit or hooked up with daddy, I mean, Sam, and thought “Yes, good decisions.” And this is coming from someone who WANTS to like her…
uft. shocking boots becki.
So he says this is his favorite genre as a moviegoer…Well helloo Eric we have something in common so just call me to be your movie date!
Seriously I love love love him doing this type of role !
And I agree that Munich is one of Spielberg's finest films and Bana was brilliant in it.
In his interview he tends to be somewhat guarded, but I guess he just prefers to keep it low-key.
The ladies are straight from the Project Runway: The Worst collection. I can see Michael Kors cringing…
When he tells stories he’s mesmerizing, funny and engaging. When he has to answer specific questions, especially when someone wants his personal opinion, he becomes guarded and clams up. He gives nothing away in question/answer interviews but let him just chat and he opens right up. I wonder if he does it on purpose?
He is incredibly hot. Love him!
been salivating over him since Troy.
There is no feasible scenario in which I would not hit it.
