    Yesterday was a very bad day for iconic, charismatic actors: we lost both Michael K. Williams and Jean-Paul Belmondo. Therefore it seems as good a moment as any to bless this cursed timeline with a few images of the latter reading. Be warned that because everything Belmondo does is sexy, these images will, naturally, depict him reading sexily. (Don’t @ me—you clicked on this. You knew what you were doing. And for more in this vein, please consider 10 pictures of young Chekhov, ranked by hotness, because here at Literary Hub, we are serious journalists.) You’re welcome:
