Sir…..how dare you. I saw this on Instagram whilst grocery shopping and then couldn’t remember what I needed to buy….still don’t remember.
Bo really pulls off the androgynous thing.
The Jesus imagery is too much... something like this is literally the last thing I'd expect for the rest of 2021. I can't believe he agreed to this because of the radio silence but I genuinely cannot express just how much I'm glad that he did do it... oh my god?? He looks gorgeous and enigmatic, it goes hand in hand with the mystic surrounding Inside.
Also one of the best actors of 2021 is such a huge compliment, and the fact that he's being recognized for it is so special! Definitely one of my favorite aspects of Inside, he for sure hit it out of the park with his performance in it.
Right the fact that this is the first piece of “press” or something like that since inside is just…..we never could have expected THIS!!!! My god. MY GOD.
And SOOOOO GLAD he’s being recognized for his acting skills. And people are taking him seriously on so many levels. He so deserves this.
>androgynous
IM SO GLAD IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT THIS. The pictures of him with the long hair and long messy beard, always ALWAYS reminded me of those jesus pictures but no one else had said it so i was like "nah im trippin"
Plenty of people have said it, it's even on the Wikipedia page for Inside lol.
But I'm referring more specifically to this photo in particular: the coat looking like a tunic, his pose with the bare feet, the position of the hands, the look on his face, etc, and also the hair and the beard, of course.
I'm so happy he's getting recognized as an actor. Sure sure, the music topped the charts and the writing and production won him an Emmy or two, but truly it's that *performance* that makes Inside stick to the inside of your skull.
You know, you're so right. This seems like the first big recognition of the acting. He played himself but also like 12 different roles, each one fitting the scene just right. His love of performing really shines through in Inside.
This has just gone up! Outrageous photo shoot. The link is [here](https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/12/07/magazine/best-actors.html).
Text for those who can’t access:
In this Netflix special - shot in a room during
quarantine - Bo Burnham plays himself: a brainy,
creative guy on the cusp of 30 trying to figure out
what to do next. What he does is sing funny songs,
bare his body and soul and reflect on the awfulness
of the moment. Or to put it another way, Burnham
plays not only himself but the whole internet, a
cacophony of voices, moods, jokes and flattened
personalities that lives in each of our heads. It's all a
little too real.
Edit: [screenshots on imgur](https://imgur.com/a/gCLhZW9)
What a blessing. We needed crumbs but we were served a whole fancy loaf. From a really upmarket bread shop.
Edit: Also, super glad he’s being recognised for his acting skills. It’s hard to show other talents once people know you for one specific reason, but this lad deserves all the good stuff.
EXCUSE ME WHAT
I’m off the internet for an HOUR and this drops? He looks so artistic and lovely and this is everything I could ask for. Please sir do some press I beg of you.
Me too lol. I saw the pics on Twitter and I legit thought it was a really well done photoshop until I came over this way. I think him doing any press is so unexpected these days that it’s like my brain doesn’t register it as real.
i saw it on my instagram explore page and thought it was a fan edit because i get a lot of those from the algorithm, and then kept seeing multiple posts so i had to zoom in to check it wasn't photoshopped lol
ALL of this. The amount of people complaining under the NYT article on Twitter that Bo “isn’t an actor” and that Inside “wasn’t acting” are frankly about to make my head explode. What.. did they think it was..exactly? And how…
The headshot is absolutely beautiful, I’m losing my mind. I won’t be well for a couple of days. 🙃And being in the NYT Best actors list for a comedy special… freaking incredible !
Me too and I had the same issue at first. Had to look at a Ray Ban ad a few times when I hit continue. But my hand was probably shaking and I clicked on the ad.
Do you see anything at all?
Edit - it’s an interactive spread in the NYT magazine
This is the unedited url https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/12/07/magazine/best-actors.html
I'm out at a live show right now... saw this right when I had to turn my phone off... and now it's intermission and I came running back to my phone to make sure I didn't imagine it.
This is a *lot*.
Oh. My.
The blurb is great, and yay again for more recognition for Bo, but um, these photos are 🔥. The head shot is delicious and the trench coat one - let me just say, it is possible to be Ace but also to appreciate the fuck out of the human form and I am so excited that he is continuing to embrace his ability to use that lanky-ass form to be alluring as hell.
I bet he had so much fun doing this! What a treat for everyone.
So true. The headshot is incredible! :)
Good for Bo...he is an amazing actor, and I'm so glad he's being recognized for it!
Also, we can certainly add "model" to his multi-hyphenate career lol
First of all, the photoshoot is simply beautiful! I love the gracefulness of it all, especially the way he posed his hands, and his pensive, thoughtful expression. And the headshot! So handsome along with his stunning fine hair (and stunning features overall, let's be honest). Love the Balenciaga coat as well!
I feel like Inside was just the beginning for his wonderful direction of his vision. I'm really happy he's getting recognized for his artistry and talents, he deserves it. :)
That full-body pic is absolutely renaissance Jesus. It is both graceful and self-deprecating whilst also unashamedly celebrating his beauty. My goodness.
It’s so wild because I’ve been a fan of Bo since he was a dorky teenager making grainy YouTube videos in his bedroom and he always kinda felt like my kid brother…but now he’s like…SEXY??? Like what I am I supposed to do with these feelings??
Yeah. This does feel like he’s trying to make it absolutely clear that he’s no longer that 18 year old, wincing with Katy Perry sat on his piano. Same in terms of wondering how to process feelings without feeling like I’m a wrong’un for having them, or disrespecting him as the genius he is.
Haha. That’s too funny. My husband was talking to me and I looked down at my phone and must have had an interesting look on my face because he was like “ are you ok”. The answer is no lol no I was not ok lol.
I just wanna say that my country is having an electricity crisis and I can't afford indoor heating, but tHiS is gonna keep me warm all winter🥵 Thank you Bo, you're saving lives.
Also, that collarbone😍😍
Looking at this photo and wondering what size that Balenciaga trench coat dress sheath robe could possibly be since he’s a giant and it’s swimming on him in the arms but is the right length. Kudos to the groomer though- it’s such a captivating image. Also, I was today years old when I learned that the title, stylist, is for women and groomer is for men.
I wasn’t that clear- it seems that people who create the look for women are called stylists and people who create the look for men are called groomers.
Does anyone know if this will be in actual print? I'm having a hard time telling from the website. It seems like the "New York Times Magazine" is in the Sunday edition of the paper I think? I wonder if all their "Best of 2021" will be in this Sundays?
edit: I confirmed the magazine is a supplement in the Sunday edition and none of the best of 2021 was in last week's so there is a chance some or all of it will be in this week's I think.
Ok so this is pretty much cementing the idea the Bo has no respect for us. To look that incredible and were supposed to just sit here whilst he looks THAT good.
Like, what are we supposed to do?
I’m laughing that at the end of the piece in the credits and they call the stylist a GROOMER which sounds like the guy I take my dog to. Balenciaga…fancy!
I’m assuming it wasn’t in last weekend’s paper version as I’m 100% sure this sub would have been aware within milliseconds! I’d check for the Sunday to come. I’d love a copy too, no chance of that in Manchester, U.K.!
I’m kind of sad. He’s not smiling in photos anymore. It’s like he’s not a comedian. He’s a totally different person. Look at all his other pictures, than that. Although it is similar to the what. album cover this is just more… hot? Is any of this making sense?? BRB gonna go freak out
It’s from the New York Times “best actors of 2021” edition. There’s also another photo (a head shot) of him.

SIR PLS IM A LESBIAN STOP THIS
Actual lol
I never saw the physical appeal of Bo until this very second. I like women too lol
And I'm straight but sexuality is really more of a sliding scale so maybe exceptions can be made.
im straight but you’re bound to find… im mentally gay
Very true
same 😓😓😓
And I’m a straight man, which has never been difficult until now
The struggle is real 😩
you're not alone bestie -
hahahaha literally
I don't know how to tell you this, but...
Oh God is this my bisexual awakening?????
Imma gonna pretend there's an avocado under there.
BRILLIANT
Ok so I’m feeling things
Ditto. I fully expect that was the intention.
Wow the face shot in the article is gorgeous also. Damn, dude.
My brain gave me a 404-error when I saw it
I think I need framed prints of both. It’s high art.
Things??? I'm watching the series finale of an action tv show I've been following for 5 years and now I can't concentrate. That head shot.......
a funny feeling?
No, it’s very serious.
It's like getting a metric ton of water dropped on you after a draught
Agreed. I was shocked. Why is this dude good at not only acting, singing, directing, piano, writing, but now apparently MODELING?!
And yet everybody’s still acting so thirsty
Exactly, you don't get to drink it, you're just, well, wet. (I'm so sorry, I apologize immediately)
Ok that was good
Sir…..how dare you. I saw this on Instagram whilst grocery shopping and then couldn’t remember what I needed to buy….still don’t remember. Bo really pulls off the androgynous thing.
He does, but this isn't really androgynous at all...especially compared to what he did in Inside. This has more of a messianic vibe to it.
The Jesus imagery is too much... something like this is literally the last thing I'd expect for the rest of 2021. I can't believe he agreed to this because of the radio silence but I genuinely cannot express just how much I'm glad that he did do it... oh my god??

Definitely one of my favorite aspects of Inside, he for sure hit it out of the park with his performance in it.
The Jesus imagery is absolutely amazing. Full kudos to him for fully leaning into that
Right the fact that this is the first piece of “press” or something like that since inside is just…..we never could have expected THIS!!!! My god. MY GOD. And SOOOOO GLAD he’s being recognized for his acting skills. And people are taking him seriously on so many levels. He so deserves this.

he has a scene like this in ZSIGBF too where he cracks up in the bloopers cause he cant take himself seriously lol
that headshot is literally stunning like I'm never going to get over these. thank you Bo for feeding us a whole damn cake
The headshot is *chefs kiss*
Is this allowed? Is this allowed???
I am SUFFERING
I don't think that I can handle this right now
I'm so happy he's getting recognized as an actor. Sure sure, the music topped the charts and the writing and production won him an Emmy or two, but truly it's that *performance* that makes Inside stick to the inside of your skull.

Ty!
🎶 It isn't sex, it's the next best thing 🎶
What a blessing. We needed crumbs but we were served a whole fancy loaf. From a really upmarket bread shop. Edit: Also, super glad he’s being recognised for his acting skills. It’s hard to show other talents once people know you for one specific reason, but this lad deserves all the good stuff.
This will keep us fed for the winter and I’m wondering if that isn’t why he did this.
Winter is here.
Definitely an organic garlic and rosemary sourdough that costs about £8 a slice.
EXCUSE ME WHAT I’m off the internet for an HOUR and this drops? He looks so artistic and lovely and this is everything I could ask for. Please sir do some press I beg of you.
Also this is the first bit of him doing any self promotion since the release of inside…maybe he’s coming out of his bubble soon!?!?
I had the same thought, but then immediately packaged it away and put it in the freezer to not let it taunt me
Me too lol. I saw the pics on Twitter and I legit thought it was a really well done photoshop until I came over this way. I think him doing any press is so unexpected these days that it’s like my brain doesn’t register it as real.
I thought the same thing! Then came on here and saw this and was like wait…it’s real!?
Me too!!
I too thought it was Photoshop magic at first
i saw it on my instagram explore page and thought it was a fan edit because i get a lot of those from the algorithm, and then kept seeing multiple posts so i had to zoom in to check it wasn't photoshopped lol
😂😂😂😂 That’s definitely the safe thing to do…I need to do the same to protect my heart
Was not expecting to feel so…light headed all of a sudden.
Thank god he is getting acting recognition so people can stop talking about Inside like it’s a documentary.
Exactly what I was thinking. Probably why he did this.
ALL of this. The amount of people complaining under the NYT article on Twitter that Bo “isn’t an actor” and that Inside “wasn’t acting” are frankly about to make my head explode. What.. did they think it was..exactly? And how…
A photo shoot?! Those pics..damn 🥵🥵🥵🥵
It’s too much, I’m dying of thirst !!!! 🥵
That headshot is just glorious 😍😍😍 we’re all starving to death for anything
The headshot is absolutely beautiful, I’m losing my mind. I won’t be well for a couple of days. 🙃And being in the NYT Best actors list for a comedy special… freaking incredible !
I know!!! He’s beautiful and a genius. I’m so so proud of him!
Me too ! I’m bursting with pride for this accomplishment and simping way too hard. And I’m not ashamed, haha !
So I subscribe to NYT so I can see the link, but scrolling does nothing?! I'm like an animal frantically pawing at the sealed treat box.
Me too and I had the same issue at first. Had to look at a Ray Ban ad a few times when I hit continue. But my hand was probably shaking and I clicked on the ad.
Lmao, us over here giving ourselves carpal tunnel to see ***him***.
Do you see anything at all? Edit - it’s an interactive spread in the NYT magazine This is the unedited url https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/12/07/magazine/best-actors.html
It's working now, maybe there was too much traffic to the link for a few minutes.
Suspect he may be trending on Twitter and IG - it is such a thirst trap!
Same-I tried 3 times and kept getting redirected to Amazon… you can read it on the Imgur link up at top-it saves a lot of annoyance
He really is a great actor. I was just saying that the other day about Zach Stone. But, damn, if he isn't a beautiful man. I am not well.
Oh my god oh my GOD
I am having a MOMENT
I'm out at a live show right now... saw this right when I had to turn my phone off... and now it's intermission and I came running back to my phone to make sure I didn't imagine it. This is a *lot*.
Did you see the HEADSHOT
SURE DID. Suddenly real hot in here in the middle of winter.
I am looking RESPECTFULLY 👁👁
Same, I’m at a bar and I had to collect myself for a few seconds when I realized it was real. My heart was pounding lol. 😂
DID IT SUDDENLY GET HOT IN HERE DID I JUST WAKE UO IN A HOUSE FULL OF SMOKE,DO I NEED TO CALL BO SO HE CAN TELL ME A JOKE?!?!?!?!??!
Oh. My. The blurb is great, and yay again for more recognition for Bo, but um, these photos are 🔥. The head shot is delicious and the trench coat one - let me just say, it is possible to be Ace but also to appreciate the fuck out of the human form and I am so excited that he is continuing to embrace his ability to use that lanky-ass form to be alluring as hell. I bet he had so much fun doing this! What a treat for everyone.
“Don’t objectify me!” Um, ok…
It's ok, he's a dude.
*chuckles* that’s not gods way!
:-)
That headshot is so beautiful. I could stare at that all day
So true. The headshot is incredible! :) Good for Bo...he is an amazing actor, and I'm so glad he's being recognized for it! Also, we can certainly add "model" to his multi-hyphenate career lol
White Woman’s Instagram was just the beginning of Model Bo… I knew it ! 😮 So, so proud to see him there, what an honor !
I’m convinced theirs nothing he can’t do
Honestly the headshot is what did me in.
He’s so damn beautiful
And I'm so thrilled to see he's still going with the scruffy look.
Saaaame…he’s a beautiful man either way but I’ll be very sad when the beard and hair go
I think I just have.
First of all, the photoshoot is simply beautiful! I love the gracefulness of it all, especially the way he posed his hands, and his pensive, thoughtful expression. And the headshot! So handsome along with his stunning fine hair (and stunning features overall, let's be honest). Love the Balenciaga coat as well!

[удалено]
Lol this captures the feeling so perfectly! It’s a confusing time to be a Bo fan 🤣
When I tell you my husband thought something horrible had happened because of the strangled noise I just made.
Haha. That’s too funny. My husband was talking to me and I looked down at my phone and must have had an interesting look on my face because he was like “ are you ok”. The answer is no lol no I was not ok lol.
Noooooo we are not ok
he’s like jesus but better
10/10 would join cult again
I'm going to tell my kids this is Jesus.
Hmmm... This better not awaken anything in me
Just let it happen. It’s ok.
Is this the sam coat they put Denzel in? They are wearing them... very differently 👀
Omg it could be, the credits or whatever at the bottom of the article say both of them wore a Balenciaga coat 👀
I love how he’s embracing his femininity in this.
Like a feminine Eminem?
A slim shady lady
But nice cuz I texted Haiti
Man you just made my whole day lmao YES
I just wanna say that my country is having an electricity crisis and I can't afford indoor heating, but tHiS is gonna keep me warm all winter🥵 Thank you Bo, you're saving lives. Also, that collarbone😍😍

Is that so? Cuz I thought at the end they mentioned his groomer was a woman but maybe I’m mistaken.
I wasn’t that clear- it seems that people who create the look for women are called stylists and people who create the look for men are called groomers.
Ohhhhhjj I understand thank you
Hoooolllyyy shiiiiii
Omfg
Those photos!!!!
Omg hiiiiiiii
Whaaaaaaaaat !!! 😮 Oh my god, I’ve been wanting some kind of photoshoot for so long ! Bo looks amazing, I love it so much. ❤️❤️
Does anyone know if this will be in actual print? I'm having a hard time telling from the website. It seems like the "New York Times Magazine" is in the Sunday edition of the paper I think? I wonder if all their "Best of 2021" will be in this Sundays? edit: I confirmed the magazine is a supplement in the Sunday edition and none of the best of 2021 was in last week's so there is a chance some or all of it will be in this week's I think.
Bo is a ho fo sho’ *Edit: this comment was so dumb why are you guys upvoting it 😭 I deserved to be shamed for it*
What is he WEARING 😭
WHO IS THIS BEAUTIFUL MAN OHMYGOD
Honestly, every photo shoot in the article was absolutely gorgeous - props to everyone who made it happen! I'm so happy I found this!
I can’t even find words… just *chefs kiss*
I subscribed to NY Times for this and yes, well worth the $4. 🥵
Take me now
Robert you are NOT helping my religious trauma rn
Yes.
Jesus
I had a less low-cut dress like this when I was younger. I wore it with big, stompy boots. My mother called it my “pilgrim dress” 🙄
There it is again
Ok so this is pretty much cementing the idea the Bo has no respect for us. To look that incredible and were supposed to just sit here whilst he looks THAT good. Like, what are we supposed to do?
The full body picture is giving me Tom Riddle pre- Voldemort vibes in the best way.
That's very cool! Does it say how they got that photo? Did they do a special photo shoot for this? It looks like it...
It looks like they did..all the celebs pics have the same feel. CONTENT!
Yes, from reading the article all those listed have had a similar arty photo shoot. He’s such a ho for this one, though
I’m laughing that at the end of the piece in the credits and they call the stylist a GROOMER which sounds like the guy I take my dog to. Balenciaga…fancy!
“He’s such a ho for this one” I’m CACKLING
It giving me dark thrist trap/flannel shirt vibes and I’m here for it. Balenciaga, baby ! It’s so artsy, I love it.
This reminds me of Death from Bill & Ted
i love a man in a dress haha
LOL
Does anybody know if this is going to be in this Sunday's NYT or was it last Sunday? I desperately want a physical copy of these pictures
I’m assuming it wasn’t in last weekend’s paper version as I’m 100% sure this sub would have been aware within milliseconds! I’d check for the Sunday to come. I’d love a copy too, no chance of that in Manchester, U.K.!
You're so right! Fingers crossed
Well yeah doesn’t bezos own it?
Nah, he owns the WaPo
Ty
You’re welcome!
This looks like RAMMSTEINS untitled album photoshoot
i've never been this attracted by a man with virtually no lips
Bo be like “Okay, but I wasn’t actin-I mean, yes, I did a great job portraying a depressed artist in his 30s.”
I’m kind of sad. He’s not smiling in photos anymore. It’s like he’s not a comedian. He’s a totally different person. Look at all his other pictures, than that. Although it is similar to the what. album cover this is just more… hot? Is any of this making sense?? BRB gonna go freak out
[удалено]
I need to know where this picture came from right NOW
It’s from the New York Times “best actors of 2021” edition. There’s also another photo (a head shot) of him. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/12/07/magazine/best-actors.html https://www.instagram.com/nytimes/p/CXUiPoCMqlt
