As a celebrity and icon, he melded vulnerability with determination, sensitivity with strength, in a way that offered a bracing and—for some—threatening new vision of masculinity.

Det är början på en mans liv, som sedan blev en av de mest uppburna inom sitt yrke. Skådespelarens. Boken handlar om hur man är som ofärdig, omogen, letande, sökande.
