Isn't he dreamy? And his accent is so sexy! Did I mention he can sing?

Like Emilia, I love Across the Universe, really love that movie (one of my favorites). But Jude (Jim's character) is not my favorite inside, I think he's so... calm ?! I prefer Max (played by Joe Anderson).
But Jim has a really good voice, he sings very well.
Evan Rachel Wood, her girlfriend in Across and her friend in real life wants him to play Spiderman, in the musical "Spiderman" who will be in Broadway soon. Evan will play Mary Jane. Jim in Spiderman... why not ?
