Pic is Gary Stretch on the set of Alexander.
I've heard he is playing Cleitus but don't yet know if that is accurate. |

Looking at the pic of Gary made me smile. During filming it was a running joke that Gary was the one I wanted for my toy boy much to Colins amusement, the question each time was had I not woked up and realised he was better looking but I stuck to my guns! but not to Gary haha. nice guy though |

Well I'd certainly have him as my toy boy! Definitely my type. |

Just admit it girls [and boys? I don't want to be sexist]. For us, watching 'Alexander' was like being a kid watching a film about a sweetshop: loads of half naked muscly men writhing about all over the place all the time! I shut my eyes during the battle scenes cos they were too boring and gruesome, but the rest of the film was perfect  |

After watching the movie many times (you know that), I can say Gary is a very attractive man. And SEXY! I like him. |

It said in RLF's book that Gary and Jared nearly came to blows on the film set [doesn't say why]. Bet that would be a fight worth watching, especially if they were in costume  |

Perhaps that's why we see in the movie Cleitus punching Hephaestion for no reason.  |

That would make sense, since that bit of that scene has always bothered me (didn't fit)...then again, maybe that's what started the fight  |

Well.....while having a coffee in a local bar today.....Cleitus's younger double walked in ..... the face, hair, beard....everything but the Macedonian clothes.....
I wondered if he has a brother who may have been on a day trip from Liverpool .....lol

Gary will be seen in Oliver Stone's movie about the 9/11 tragedy, World Trade Center. This is supposed to open in August. The only other actor from Alexander to be cast in this film is Young Alex (Connor Paolo).
I took Cleitis' punching of Hephaestion to be a sign of his (and other's) resentment toward Alexander's favorite. There wasn't time to deal with this fully in the film, so Stone chose to refer to it in this off-hand way. Cleitis' jealousy could be considered a factor in his unfortunate outburst leading to his murder. |

Hi,
in this humourous music video....you can see Cleitus coming from behind Hephaestion with a grin and Hephaestion raising his arm, looks around, smiles and pushes him...then later you get the pushing and shoving and Cleitus punches him... it looks to start off quite friendly......
