Like most of us, my introduction to Stanley Tucci left an indelible mark.

And thats when Stanley Tucci showed up.

He seemed the anti-Christ to Cages holier-than-thou.

I hated and loved him in equal measure.

Twenty-three years later and Im thrilled to announce that the latter has eradicated the former entirely.

Or, at least, thats been my experience.

Is Eddie a bad person?

He is Tucci, but with thesex appeal of a former Levis model.

He embodies the worst romantic decisions many of us have ever made.

Or more specifically, I want Stanley Tucci to hold measEddie.

And who among us doesnt love a well-dressed Tucci?

Who wouldnt want to be folded into his ruffles and piles of pantaloons?

He is lovable, fun, and extremely quick-witted.

But alas, imagine being held by a Tucci who has access to a love potion.

Imagine being regaled with tales of the fairy world and the mischief within it.

Imagine looking up at this magical Tucci and noticing the tiny horns on his head.

And I have never wanted to be held more.

You will also immediately want Stanley Tucci to hold you.

And no, Im not projecting, you are.

It doesnt matter that I havent even seen the whole thing.

Now, admittedly, this would be a pity hold.

I want to lift the weight of the world off his brilliant shoulders.

Five words: Stanley Tucci does the cha-cha.

Plus, you know hed listen to you.Reallylisten to you.

Because heres everything you oughta know about Paul: He loves Julia.

Stanley Tucci as Paul Child is a masterpiece.

So I want him to hold me.

I want him to hold me more than I want to steal and burn Amy Adamss Julie Powell wig.
