Stanley Tucci has been famous for a long time. I still remember seeing him in The Pelican Brief and being like “oh, that guy who is in everything!” He was a famous character actor even in the ‘90s, and he’s still an excellent character actor. He’s universally beloved too, and he’s friends with some of the biggest stars in the world. Like, Meryl Streep is his BFF. Emily Blunt loves him so much, she set him up with her sister Felicity and now Felicity and Stanley are married. Stanley Tucci is The Man. He’s sexy without trying. Especially when he’s wearing a tight black polo and calmly demonstrating how to make a Quarantine Negroni. The quarantine version of this cocktail is the same as the non-quarantine version, just sexier. Felicity filmed her husband and put it on Instagram:

It’s sexy. But I think I’m just the kind of person who loves to watch people calmly cook and/or mix cocktails. When I used to go to bars, I would love to sit there and watch the bartenders mix drinks. Not in a Cocktail sort of way – it doesn’t have to be “throwing bottles” and “tricks.” Just calmly and efficiently mixing a cocktail from memory without consulting the internet recipe. Also: I wouldn’t like a Negroni, actually. I hated gin and vermouth when I was a drinker – gin makes me soooo sick. I think I might be lowkey allergic to juniper berries or something. But I hope Tucci makes a different cocktail soon – maybe a Long Island Ice Tea?? Or a Sex on the Beach.

Walton Goggins made this same drink last week, he’s been making drinks on instagram- for those of you who also love Boyd Crowder;)
I loved Justified!
Omg, I LOVE him. Did you happen to see him do his ‘bit’ on Sons of Anarchy? I’ll never forget that scene; he was brilliant.
And I love Tucci. It seems like I’ve loved him for what seems like a lifetime.
Did you see Big Night? Absolutely one of ST’s best movies.
@Jerusha
Say it loud! Big Night is one of my all time favorite movies to this day! Plus it has an excellent soundtrack.
Yes!! That soundtrack is fantastic!
I’d watch ST clipping his toenails….he’s gorgeous.
I watched Walton’s cocktail videos, love them, thanks for the recommendation! Have been a of his since The Shield.
I enjoy watching him but I don’t think the video is sexy. He’s been in so many good movies.
I have never in my life thought Stanley Tucci sexy until I saw this video. For me, it’s his ease, his humor, and his quiet command that do it. Okay, and his arms. His arms.
I can’t get past what he did to Anne Hathaway.
What did he do??
@Penny – SPILL!
Anne Hathaway accused him of being “obsessed with her breasts” when they were shooting The Devil Wears Prada and kept accidentally on purpose nudging them. But she also said he was wonderful to work with so…meh….
They live right around the corner from me. I see Stanley in the farmers market all the time (pre-lockdown obv).
And he’s using Plymouth Gin – the best.
Actually a distillery in my city of Victoria BC was awarded best gin in the world last year – Sherringham’s. It is sooooo good I can’t believe it. It’s all I buy now. What makes it unique is it includes a bit of seaweed in the botanical flavourings. But I agree, Plymouth has always been one of my favourite gins.
I’ll try that – if I can get it!
The Seaside gin is hands down the best and most interesting gin I have ever had. It tastes like a sea breeze smells..
Ooo thanks for the recommendation Jaded (and hi from Vancouver!)! I hadn’t heard of Sherringham’s before. I was supposed to be in Victoria right now for a mini-break, so I might just drown my sorrows by purchasing a bottle of this gin.
Paul Feig, director of one of my favorite films Spy along with other things, does one daily. He even but on his best outfits to do them. His IG is a good follow.
I thought he was a creep? Wasn’t there even a post on celebitchy about it years ago?
Yes Paula you are correct!!! Typical how people forget – that’s how Woody, Harvey and Cosby were able to slither around for years!
That is my understanding as well.
My biggest takeaway from that video was how zero percent of his body jiggled when he shook that shaker. The man has no body fat.
Maybe all the fat is botox’ed like 99% percent of his face.
His arms!! That’s all…
I love the smile he has while he’s shaking the cocktail. That also sounded really dirty as I typed it… oh well.
He repeatedly and deliberately elbowed her breasts which was painful and when she asked him to stop he told her to keep those giant things out of his face. She talked about it in an interview years ago, but it didn’t get much traction.
I can’t drink gin either! Maybe I have that allergy too.
I can’t drink gin either. It has nothing to do with allergies, and everything to do with high school dances. Now that I am older, I know that you can and should stop drinking before you are horizontal and puking … good times!
Totally different vibe: check out Rose Byrne on Fallon making a cocktail. She was all over the place with Bobby Cannavale commenting. It was hilarious!
I found that Cannavale was super mean to her!
Really? I guess I thought it was dry / biting humor. It’s not everybody’s cup of tea. I can be like him sometimes. It didn’t seem like he hurt her feelings….I hope he didn’t…now I’m having second thoughts…man…
I’ve been watching once upon a Time in Hollywood a lot lately and they drink lots of bloody Mary’s in it so I ordered the ingredients and they were delivered today I’m so looking forward to an after work drink
Ming Tsai always mixes a cocktail with his guest at the beginning of each Simply Ming episode. We call his show “Sexy Ming.” He can mix me a cocktail any time!
Love his work! Now I want a cocktail! He and Ina Garten should pair up. He sounds so calm, and looks so pulled together. Bet he smells nice too. Fun fact: Pre-Harry, Meghan Markle hosted a dinner, think it was in Toronto, and Stanley Tucci was one of the guests there. Small world indeed.
