Well, maybe "uncool" is unkind. Let's just say that most of these images don't really conjure the iconic "Bogie".

|  |

Ha! Love it! Even dorky, he's cool.
ReplyDeleteIn the first photo, we are guessing that poor old Bogart was caught unawares by the photographer. No-one on earth would be voluntarily photographed in that bathing suit and those flippers :(
ReplyDeleteDitto the last photo, stuffing his face. Photographers can be cruel.
