VINCE VAUGHN GAVE UP SWINGING FOR LAMAZE CLASSES

Vince Vaughn, 40, is actually taking the prospect of fatherhood very seriously. He admits he was focused on his career for a long time but now he really wants kids. His wife Kyla, 32, is expecting their first baby in November. Vince even volunteered to attend Lamaze classes with Kyla and, as serious about parenting as he is, he still occasionally cracks up their classmates at Northwestern Hospital in Chicago.

  1. Imagine Vince meeting his baby for the first time. Those chubby cheeks, the little eyes not quite focused, the doughy body, the gurgly blubbery lips…makes you wonder what the kid is going to look like.

  2. The kid will be half-Canadian as his wife is from “The Great White North”.

  3. I’ve always thought him likable enough and his wife is certainly a pretty enough young thing, but you’d think that marraige and now parenthood would be inspiring enough for him to finally get his (as Sebastian notes:doughy) ass and etceteras into long overdue shape! Hell, it might even rescue his downwardly mobile career!

  4. He is a mildly funny, so-so actor. He should thank his lucky stars he was in the right place at the right time to have this much success when there are multitudes vying to get into movies/tv.

  5. …and, he reminds me of a bar-fly who can’t make it through the day without at least two or three beers.

  6. LOSERS are expected to have CAREERS in america?
    tell me: WHAT SORT?

  7. Can’t help but think that VV wife has the look on her face of, “The cat who swallowed the canary?” Hmm just sayin’

  8. He just strike me as a guy who hates to work out and being chubby is what he will always be. They all will change if their career start going downhill.

  9. Pippa-London, LOL…I did not know that. Half Canadian and half Vince Vaughn…so, no chance the kid will grow up to have any sex appeal.

  10. Muffin….Yeah, Kyla is thinking–Wow, I caught a big fish, I’ll never have to toil in real estate again, Just have to learn my way around Rodeo Drive et al.

  11. He’s barely recognizable from his early success in ‘Swingers.” He looked like he weighed ~160 pounds in that movie.

    But he’s a solid actor who was in a very good film that most have probably never seen—”The Prime Gig” with Ed Harris and Julia Ormond.

  12. Anonymouth, I only recently saw Swingers, and could not believe how thin and pretty Vince was then. I was most familiar with middle-aged bloated Vince. He was lucky to have achieved success at that stage – I am not sure he would have gotten anywhere if he had started in his current shape.

  13. Seb, I completely agree. It makes one think about the discipline it took to be Paul Newman—who was beautiful when young and remained so, throughout his life (but not without a lot of hard work, as he admitted himself).

  14. Anon: wow, YES! Thanks for the visual memory candy of Paul Newman! I’ll betcha this is the only time and place he has EVER been used to draw comparison to anyone along the lines of a Vince Vaughn! Too bad, as Sebastian said, Vince was mostly nice looking when he made an effort with himself in earlier movies. It CAN be done, as you have prooved with your example. I feel like if you’re going to have that kind of career and rake in that kind of money, you should go out of your way to EARN it. Not just by showing up and saying your lines while half asleep and half baked either (which is what Vince always appears to me to be).

  15. Reta and Anon, isn’t it rather interesting that in the post-feminist era there is more of a double-standard regarding appearance than there was back in the golden age of movies. I may be wrong, but it seems that there are many more over-weight and/or ugly males stars now than ever before.

    Newman, like the other leading men of his generation, knew that if he did not maintain his good looks he would be relegated to being a character actor and, therefore, nothing more than a working actor.

  16. Seb: you have a valid point there. But “pretty boys” who get stuck in that role maybe have only themselves to blame for being the object on the pedestal instead of substance. I believe this is Brad Pitt’s fate. Not known for much depth, when his beauty fades, he will lose roles to the actors who have been there all along (the Seymore-Hoffman’s) riding on their talent alone. John Malkovich is a great example of this. I’d see ANYTHING with him in it because he is brilliant, and brings whatever he is in up a few levels. The English actor John Hurt is one of my favorite actors, and no pretty boy, but I’d take one of him over a whole bedroom full of naked Brad Pitt’s.
    Then there are those who have both; Sean Connery, Jimmy Stewart, George Clooney, Clark Gable. Men who were gorgeous treats for the eyes AND the minds, and never lost that as they aged because they had substance. The aging of a REAL MAN’s face can be a beautiful thing, and women have been jealous of this imbalance forever.
    We are FINALLY starting to find some equality in Betty White, Meryl Streep, Helen Mirren to name a few women who have aged gracefully without chopping their faces to shreds, and look GREAT! Charactor actresses CAN get roles nowadays, when in the past it was all over at 30-40. I LOVE the way things are headed today!

  17.
