1996 ("True Blue")
First, I do not think Charles managed SULTRY wispy hair while he was struggling through Gordonstoun.
1997 ("The Gambler")
And did Chaz ever rock a unibrow? DOUBTFUL.
2000
Does this young buck scream "the love of my life just married another man and I'm not sure what to do with myself"? Not really.
2001
This is a vibe, and it is not Charles's. Of course, he's an actor, so perhaps he can fake it.
2003, with Sonja Sohn and Larry Gilliard Jr.
I do not recall Chaz having that set of crazy eyes.
2004
Please know that I DO REALIZE actors don't have to look anything like their roles, and it's a business built on suspension of disbelief. That said: Chaz WISHES he had casual sultriness.
2004
SIR. CHARLES WOULD NEVER.
2005, with Helen McCrory and Sienna Miller
Charles might like to write himself into this sandwich in The Crown, though.
2006
He does sort of work the Startled Aristocrat vibe, at least.
2009
I mean, you deserve it, Dominic. But let's see how he looks in ceremonial regalia.
2009
Not Charles.
This is the closest we get to him being bald, in case that's a factor. (Let's face it... it is.) He's so confident. Not particularly my idea of young(er) Charles.
2011
Here we have Chilling In The Countryside In a Hunting Sweater, but he does not scream Charles yet.
2011
It IS very possible Charles made this face after he watched Diana's televised interview about there being three people in her marriage.
2011
I just needed you to know that the McNulty/Stringer Bell bromance did remain alive.
Also, he did Shakespeare with Clarke Peters! Freamon and McNulty, reunited. Charles trod the boards himself in school, but I am not sure he managed this level of... burly menace.
2012
I also don't think Charles has ever opened his mouth this wide in his life. Parenthetically, Dominic here his hosting some kind of spelling bee in Cornwall, of which Charles IS the Duke, so perhaps that's our connection...
... and frankly I wish I had attended.
2013
To quote Marty McFly's brother at the end of Back to the Future: When the hell did THIS happen?
2014
"If you're going to play me from the nineties, old bean, you need a much stiffer upper lip."
2014
"He was quite serious, Dominic. Grinning is a post-me activity for Chazza."
2014
WELL. This was unexpected. Perhaps he should have played one of Chaz's older relatives.
2014
Good news! He already gets along with one of the Margarets.
2015
Well, this is vintage Charles. When DOESN'T he do this. When he's King, it will be his photo on the money.
