Make no mistake, the best way to experience Singapore seems to be through the stomach and James Marsden was all ready for this encounter.

It has become a cliche to ask visiting celebs matters pertaining to cuisine and Marsden appeared to be no stranger to the question. After all, it was his first time ever to this part of the world and he certainly made the most of his trip here having been sighted all a few local food joints. He even readily offered that he was having Laksa after the day’s interviews. Clearly HBO Singapore is taking good care of the man!

Teddy Flood, as we better know him from Westworld, was in Singapore just one week before the first season finale. And while he seemed to have a packed schedule having been to a morning talk show prior to the interview session, he seemed all upbeat as I walked into the room. Having only 25 minutes for a roundtable interview, the questions came fast and furious. It was interesting to see how Marsden tried his very best to hold back on any possible spoilers and deflect off any questions that might allude to his return in season two.

Westworld star James Marsden has only ever met well-known actress Anna Kendrick briefly, whom he described as a “delightful woman with a great sense of humour”.

But he made enough of an impression for her to tell a Buzzfeed reader looking for self-improvement tips, “You should imagine that you have the spirit of Oprah, and the face of James Marsden, and just project that in your daily life.”

Asked what he makes of this advice, the 43-year-old American laughed and told Yahoo Singapore wryly, “I don’t know about the James Marsden part, but I agree with the Oprah part.”

“Westworld” actor James Marsden made an appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” where he dished on his crush on Helen Mirren.

James gushed, “I just love her. I do. I’ve had a massive crush on her for years. [I] didn’t meet her backstage.”

James went on to tell his story about that the time he stalked her at the airport. “I’m glad I’m waiting to be on national television to admit this. But I was on a flight with her once to Rome. And when I got off the flight, I followed her to baggage claim and in a very voyeuristic, creepy way I took a photo of her while she was walking. Very creepy! I was avoiding seeing her backstage because I didn’t want her to know I was stalking her in Rome in an international airport.” Watch!

Anyone with eyes can see James Marsden is a good-looking dude.

And on CBS’ The Late Show Tuesday, Stephen Colbert complimented the Westworld actor on a recent honor that made it official. “GQ has named you the World’s Most Handsomest Man,” he said. “First of all, does that come with anything? Is there a medal or cash prize, or do you just get to keep your face?” Hamming it up, Marsden smoldered at the camera and feigned humility. “No, it’s just my lot. It’s just a burden,” he said. “It’s just an albatross around my neck.”

“As a teenager, were you a stud growing up?” Colbert asked.

James Marsden may have good looks and star appeal, but the actor took time on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon Friday to express his anguish for the heartbroken men he plays on screen.

During a visit to the late-night talk show, Bachelor and Bachelorette host Chris Harrison described Nick Viall, the upcoming suitor for the reality series, as “the James Marsden of Bachelor’s.” Marsden has played a leading man countless times in his career, but the actor disagrees with his heartthrob status. “Oh I’m scared to ask what that means,” the actor joked. “Does it mean he has bad luck getting the girl?”

Causing the audience to sigh in support, which Marsden says “always feels nice,” the Hairspray star recalls most of his high-profile films ending with his character “not getting the girl.” He cites Hugh Jackman of the X-Men franchise and Ryan Gosling in The Notebook as the main culprits for keeping his characters single. Dimming the lights and pulling in the house band, Marsden expresses this sad truth through a rendition of Kenny Rogers hit “Lady.” “I sing to them. I serenade them,” delivered Marsden in a musical interlude. “But they always go with the Gosling.”
