The Cut - Lee Pace Is Trolling You Back

“That was my dick, Gus.” Gus has just jumped up onto Lee Pace’s lap and accidentally pawed at the actor’s manhood. (Gus is Lee Pace’s enthusiastic black retriever, by the way.) “I was hoping this article would be about how well-mannered my dog was,” Pace jokes.

It’s understandable, Gus. Over the past few months, there’s a fair chance you have stumbled across a picture of the 42-year-old actor in the wild (i.e., on Twitter or Instagram) either from his own ever-increasingly popular Instagram account or at September’s Met Gala wearing a Thom Browne suit-shorts combo and suddenly felt a hot flash. “I am aware,” he says, smiling about becoming the object of our collective online lust. “I don’t understand how the internet works. I actually think people are trolling me.” Or is the star of Apple+’s new series Foundation trolling all of us?

We’re so grateful to this Twitter user for sharing with us some very important information about livestock farming. Also in social media: Diane Keaton’s Instagram is a mess and we love it. And not sure what’s happening here — is Mariah Carey opening a McDonald’s franchise in the lost city of Atlantis? The current attack on abortion has author R.O. Kwon reflecting on her Christian past. Here’s the secret to a better green salad. And a duck ran the New York Marathon this weekend.

It happened this week — let’s talk about it. Sign up for My Week in New York: a new newsletter from the editors.
