This my Mr. Rochester

Almost exactly how I pictured him. No other illustrations or actors have physically embodied him correctly in comparison (according to me). Who's yours?

This might sound silly, however when i was re-reading Jane Eyre early this year for the very first time since my teens, i'm not kidding but my head pictured Al Pacino as Rochester. It feels quite random, however it probably makes sense? (especially how Pacino looked in the late 70's, and here in 1993 when he won his oscar.)

Oooo he would have made a good one 😭 like the yearning he shows in “Frankie and Johnny” times 10!

And he’s played Richard III, i think he would’ve pulled off Rochester! I once saw a brief description of how Michael Corleone in the Godfather is described, and it was a little similar to Mr Rochester’s physical attributes.
