Looks like Brazilian model Jesus Luz isn’t content being known as Madonna’s boy toy. The Dolce & Gabbana house favorite is dabbling in film in the upcoming Spanish movie Not Alone directed by Alejandro Aboli. From the looks of this outtake, Luz may not be the only well-formed man on the scene. But male competition aside, it’s tough to tell this early on whether the flick will be a bust or a well-timed Luz re-characterization.

The blond actor who in his earlier days was quite the”it” boy went spiraling down the Tinseltown tube later on, which perfectly suits him for the film’s material: the 37-year old actor plays an actor onscreen that lives out of the Chateau Marmont and needs to get his act together (if anything for his 11-year old daughter played by Elle Fanning). In real life, Dorff looked like he completed quite the turnaround at the film’s LA premiere last night. Along with a bevy of notable ladies (including Erin Wasson, Angela Lindvall, Chloe Sevigny and Coppola, herself) all clad in Louis Vuitton, Dorff looked sharp in a simple suit and LV shoes. Who knows, perhaps this bad boy could even turn into a role model. Ahem, Lindsay Lohan, we’re talking to you. Continue…
