Golden Years: “No, I Didn’t Come Here By Chance”
I am so excited to be starting our Golden Years series again. I loved every minute of it first time around. Spending a week with each of Rob’s characters, celebrating each one individually was just so much fun. As you can see we are starting with Georges Duroy. We waited so long to see Rob in action as Georges & of course, he was worth every minute. His portrayal of Georges is just superb.  He plays the nasty & money hungry bastard that is Georges to perfection. He had me glued to the screen upon first viewing & to this day, still the same each time I watch.  Now, how to choose a fave Georges scene, that is the question & a very tough one at that. Each scene Rob is so perfect in & I love each & every scene so much for different reasons. The scene I’ve chosen after much thought is Georges seducing Virginie in the church. He’s like an animal stalking his pray, watching her from his carriage & following her in, using his charm, gorgeous looks & playing on the affection he knows Virginie has for him. I love how nasty he is in this scene. The cold looks on his face, the way he commands attention, takes charge & stays completely cool – brilliant. Everything goes according to plan here for Georges & he ends up exactly where he wants to be with Virginie. The end part of the scene comes with an extra WARNING *_________________*
I cannot wait to spend the week with Georges, celebrating Rob’s brilliant portrayal of this, to quote Rob ‘manwhore’ who’s desire to reach the top is so vital, that he will do anything to get there. He knows exactly what he wants & quickly learns who & what can get him there. Enjoy 🙂
Thanks so much once again to Maria for putting together these awesome vids for us. How brilliant are they!

Bloody Hell! Love the edit, Maria.
I love your scene choice, Michelle. No amount of praying was going to keep Georges away. Virginie didn’t stand a chance.
The wait for Georges was agonising, but worth it. Rob and all the cast are amazing. Some of the scenes are truly shocking in their rawness.
I am so proud of the production for not watering down the harshness of the novel. It may not have pandered to the masses but it remains a worthwhile comment on modern day power
