David Thompson

puts words into Humphrey Bogart's mouth:

Look, I'm hardly pretty, he seems to say. I sound like gravel; I look rough and tough; and, honest, I don't give you the soft, foolish answers the pretty boys will give you. You may not like what I say, but you better believe it.

Fun fact: Bogart was actually quite the softy, shedding tears of joy as he watching his son on his first day of kindergarten ;)

Also, Bogart hated on-screen kisses, as the wound on his lip (possibly due to shrapnel damage during the second World War) made him drool uncontrollably while kissing.

(I should absolutely stop reading Bogart biographies in my spare time.)

Regardless, he is still a total bad-ass x
