The Irrepressible Appeal of Timothy Olyphant
The Justified star models buffalo plaids and talks to GQ editor Sarah Goldstein about his crush on his own “shit-kicking U.S. marshal” character, Raylan Givens. Click here for the full piece.
Shortly after this year’s Emmys, a male friend e-mailed me to say that when the camera panned on Timothy Olyphant, turned out in a Louis Vuitton peak-lapel tux, “everyone ovulated—including the dudes.” Mention his name to the men in my office and it’s met with sheepish grins and distinctly unmanly gushiness. “Could I love him more?” “He’s just so cool.” Even Graham Yost, the creator of FX’s Justified—the Elmore Leonard–inspired Kentucky crime drama in which Olyphant stars as debonair, shit-kicking U.S. marshal Raylan Givens—will admit to a man crush. “Tim,” he says, “is the whole package.” Olyphant, scratchy voiced and quick to laugh, doesn’t let it go to his head: “I have a crush on Raylan, too!”
