Filmmaker Jean-Marc Vallée is at the forefront of the new vanguard of Quebecois film talent that is putting Canada in the spotlight. His latest film Wild, which is based on troubled woman Cheryl Strayed (played by Reese Witherspoon – whose performance is already generating Oscar buzz) and her solo 1,100 mile hike to escape a […]

While King Street West is getting a ton of TIFF action this year, Dundas West is becoming a notable neighbourhood thanks to Hudson Kitchen. The newly-opened space made headlines on Friday when it was revealed that Brad Pitt, Michael Fassbender and the rest of the 12 Years A Slave cast sat down for a post-screening dinner there. Last night the restaurant’s private dining room saw even more A-list action when Jennifer Garner, Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto attended a pre-screening dinner for Dallas Buyers Club. (Needless to say, a reservation at Hudson Kitchen will be in high demand once TIFF ends.)

McConaughey’s impressive-scary weight loss for his leading role in Dallas Buyers Club was still visible last night, but it was certainly more of a healthy-skinny than “omg this is alarming.” After dinner at Hudson Kitchen and walking the red carpet for the film’s TIFF premiere, McConaughey, Garner and Leto arrived at Cibo Wine Bar for the official after party, presented by Audi. Unlike some of the cozier TIFF parties I’ve been to, the Dallas Buyers Club party was a massive affair—in a massive venue—and the talent was hidden away from the eager eyes of attendees. However, despite not catching a glimpse of Jennifer Garner’s pretty lace Dolce & Gabbana dress IRL, partygoers enjoyed Italian snacks and glasses of wine late into the night.

The A-listers were abounding at the Dallas Buyer’s Club premiere at TIFF 2013—you know, the one that famously required co-stars Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto to lose a combined 68 pounds. It seems these guys haven’t fully bounced back from their weight loss as they were looking verrrry tiny on the red carpet.

Leto was channeling Tom-Cruise-circa-Interview with the Vampire in an all black suit, combat boots, and blood red pocket square that set off his flawless pale skin, piercing baby blues, and ombred locks. We should probably mention that he’s 41.  He looks 25. Get us whatever facial cream he’s using. Stat.

Thankfully, McConaughey ditched the blood-hungry look in favour of a classic black suit, skinny tie, and crisp white shirt. We can’t help wondering if this was the influence of his model wife Camila Alves McConaughey who chose an elbow-length black shirt with tapered black pants.
