Willem Dafoe by Leslie Hassler

Portrait of Willem Dafoe by Leslie Hassler

  Willem Dafoe’s face is such a mix of things, with his high cheekbones and piercing blue eyes. He can look evil and menacing with his lascivious grin but when he starts laughing he looks like a little kid!

I photographed him this week at a beautiful hotel in Manhattan. 

He has 3 big movies coming out: The Hunter, John Carter and Abel Ferrara’s 444
