Men’s FASHION Spring 2014 cover: Taylor Kitsch
Photography by Jim Spellman/WireImage The recent trajectory of Canadian star Taylor Kitsch’s career is testament to his staying power: after a duo of box office misfires, Kitsch has a series of upcoming movies that are sure to put dubious criticisms to rest. Known best for his role as Tim Riggins, the brooding running back in Friday Night Lights, Kitsch sprung to fame on the big screen for his role as fan favourite Gambit in X-Men Origins: Wolverine and as drug kingpin Chon in Oliver Stone’s Savages. Not one to dwell on his career’s more minor moments, Kitsch maintains that he will continue to choose roles in movies he cares about, regardless of the risk factor. Two such films he has slated for 2014 include The Normal Heart, which focuses on the early ‘80s HIV/AIDS crisis in New York City (costarring Mark Ruffalo and Julia Roberts), and Canadian comedy The Grand Seduction, in which Kitsch plays a big-city doctor who descends upon a Maritime village in order to secure a factory contract and save the town from financial ruin.
In an exclusive interview with Men’s FASHION, Kitsch opens up about upcoming films, his love of laying low in his adopted hometown of Austin, Texas, and his foray into a new side of moviemaking with his upcoming directorial debut.

TIFF 2013: Reese Witherspoon, Taylor Kitsch, Chris and Liam Hemsworth stop by last night’s Worldview party
Photography by George Pimentel On another busy night of TIFF 2013, the Worldview Party presented by SodaStream was home to a batch of celebs in town to celebrate the studio’s films at the festival, including Blood Ties, Devil’s Knot, Joe, The Sacrament, The Green Inferno and The Square. Fresh off Devil’s Knot premiere, Reese Witherspoon was the first A-lister to arrive wearing a black and white Jason Wu dress. Her signature smile was out in full force, especially as she took selfies with friends as pictured above. Cute! Later in the evening, the brother studs—make that Chris and Liam Hemsworth—relaxed on the outdoor patio while Joel Edgerton of The Great Gatsby fame mingled near Harvey Weinstein and Taylor Kitsch. We couldn’t resist ogling till way past our bedtime but failed to spot Cyndi Lauper who showed up much later in the evening. How amazing would that have been?
