WHEN CHANGE COMES, IT’S RUTHLESS

How Donald Trump Fooled The Media!

Not a single newspaper or TV network backed Donald Trump for president. So when this media made Frankenstein's monster beat Hillary Clinton, it vindicated everything his supporters believed about the mainstream elite. Now, GQ asks where the liberal establishment can go from here.

Hollywood's Handsomest, Wittiest, Song - And - Danciest , Leading Man

Ryan Gosling is already timeless. He can go away for a while, do some art-movie adventuring and some enthusiastic kid-having with Eva Mendes, then waltz right back into his gig as Hollywood’s leading leading man. He’ll probably do it all again in five years – waltz off, waltz back, slay, repeat. But he was at the Oscars last year (and the year before that), and this year he’s inheriting Blade Runner from Harrison Ford. Right here, right now – this is Ryan Gosling’s next peak. GQ’s Chris Heath travels to Budapest to witness it up close.

Why The World Is Loving Dev Patel?

Few actors seemed to get more attention at the Oscars this year than Dev Patel, who rocked up to the red carpet fresh off his BAFTA win for his stirring performance in Lion. Through the ceremony, the cameras were trained on the actor (his clowning around with co-star kid Sunny Pawar briefly broke the internet on this glitziest of nights), a marker of his rapid ascension in the Hollywood pecking order. Yet Patel, who came into the spotlight for his role in Slumdog Millionaire, could have been a onehit wonder.

The Kumars At Capitol Hill

He was a ‘double max’ donor to Donald Trump’s electoral campaign and as the founder of the Republican Hindu Coalition, Chicago-based industrialist Shalabh ‘Shalli’ Kumar is perhaps the most important Indian-American in the US president’s inner circle. The story of how Kumar, a little-known business tycoon, made it to Trump’s high table is a fascinating one of hustle, hard work, self-promotion and luck – not unlike the rise of the new president himself.

GQ Gentlemen's Club

In an era marked by manic competitiveness and relentless self-promotion, Chennai represents a refreshing return to old-world values: respect, integrity and camaraderie. And somehow still manages to have a wild side. (It helps to have a languorous coastal road that’ll help you escape the city on a whim.) Four illustrious gentlemen – Tamil superstar Vikram Prabhu; race car driver Armaan Ebrahim; former India batsman S Badrinath; and designer Vivek Karunakaran – joined occasionally by photographer Kunal Daswani, came together at the opulent Leela Palace Chennai to reveal why the city by the sea swings to its own beat.

Spike Lee Made The Movie We Need Right Now

With the Oscar-nominated BlacKkKlansman, the legendary director returns to the subjects he’s helped define for a generation of film-goers – racism, power and the inescapability of history. It’s a film that feels vital to the Trump era, even though, as Lee knows, the story behind it stretches back decades.
