David Schwimmer is the new Christian Slater. Discuss.
David Schwimmer is appearing in Some Girls in the West End, and is all over the London party circuit like Anna Nicole Smith over a screaming interior designer brandishing a bottle of cheap gin.
Much like Slater before him, it was at first shocking to realise that Schwimmer was present at all the better parties, alongside such luminaries as Sophie Anderton, Calum Best, and Dean Gaffney.
But as his semi-iconic mug crops up again and again, Schwimmer is fast becoming as familiar a sight on the ''society' pages as Neil and Christine Hamilton.
A couple of months ago, the formally - and some might say persistently - gorgeous Slater finally quit his extended run of Cuckoo's Nest at the Gielgud, and clawed himself away from the tarnished allure Soho's dark and smoky drinking clubs, long-legged actresses, and Brit luvvie chums (though his marriage was in tatters by the time he made it back to New York).
Schwimmer may not be a star of Slater's calibre, but he seems to have filled the void of globally recognised American rubbing shoulders with Anthony Costa and Lisa I'Anson in London's glitzier pleasure emporiums. Sadly, he has already dallied with non-A list celeb ladies Natalie Imbruglia and former S Clubber Tina Barrett, which knocks points off his sexual credibility.
Slater, if he were to have been tempted to stray, I'm sure would have wandered with a bevy of chorus girls, or some racy tart from Bishops Stortford he stumbled over in a velvet-clad, beer-stained bar following a performance of Mama Mia. Class, pure goddamn class.
But Schwimmer does the job for now, although his reign as big American celebrity here in little ol' Blighty could be in peril. The uber-dynamic Robert Downey Junior is in town, and might just rob the hapless Friends star of his moment in the limey-light.
