Longlegs spoiler below...

I've already seen people failing to grasp Longlegs' Marc Bolan obsession. He was dressed as a decrepit glam rocker, and acted like one too. He's much more a terrifying twist of Gary Glitter (hello!) than a negative trans stereotype.

I come to bring a compilation of information and yes all at once. The things here I took from old interviews so a lot could have changed throughout Luke's life (or not hehe) and other things are just my conclusions without confirmation (based on my searches on the internet).

Luke is a fun and intelligent person, a nerd full of charisma and style, loaded with the best British style he could have, a cigarette in one hand, a drink in the other, a smile and beautiful hazel eyes.

I hope you enjoy it because there are things about him that make me smile. :)

-> Luke Brandon Field (Luke Shoefield) was born on March 21, 1988 in Paddington which is a region in the City of Westminster, London, England.

-> His height is 1,83 m

-> He currently lives alone in an apartment in Los Angeles.

-> He is the son of Gary Shoefield and (probably and without confirmation) of Sharon Lorraine Price.

-> Luke is from a Jewish family. He grew up in a relatively Jewish neighborhood.

Here are some links about him:

IMDb | United Agents

Facebook 1 | 2

Twitter | Instagram | Spotify

-> Luke has as friends Daniel Sharman, Ian Bohen, Taika Waititi, Pamela Francesca and among others that I wouldn't know how to name, but to know more just visit his instagram. On his facebook there are very old and funny photos from the time when he studied. On instagram there are several pictures of him with his friends, his father and work. He was always fun and funny.

-> His name Luke is after Luke Goss, member of the English boyband Bros.

-> Luke's taste in music was influenced by his father from an early age, he was a fan of Glam Rock, Punk Rock and 70's Pop.

-> He is a fan of bands and musicians like Nico, David Bowie, Elvis, The Clash, Sweet, The Strokes, Lou Reed, T. Rex and others.

-> He has a band with Camila Gray called ROGUES.

-> Luke is an Arsenal fan.

-> Luke's godfather is an actor too and influenced him.

-> His favorite drink is Canadian Club.

-> Her idols are her father (Gary Shoefield) and Oliver Reed.

-> He went to drama school in New York when he was 18-19 years old (circa 2006) and had to live independently for the first time.

-> He went to Los Angeles in 2008.

-> Became the first person in England to be accepted by UCLA to study Drama & Film.

-> His first appearance in a film was in 2006 in 'Alien Autopsy'.

-> His first starring role was in 'Where the Road Meets the Sun' (2011) and here Luke won the Best Actor award at the Los Angeles Asian Film Festival.

-> He once said:

"I'd love to do a film set in the swinging 60's, a Michael Cane type role or a lower east side punk in 1970s New York. That would be fun."

-> He dreams of working one day with Woody Allen and Tom Hanks.

-> He grew up surrounded by Punk Rock, his home as a child was "two doors down where Marc Bolan lived".

Marc Bolan was an English musician, singer and songwriter. He was one of the pioneers of the glam rock movement in the early 1970s with his band T. Rex. (wikipedia) But Marc passed away in 1977 and Luke was born in 1988, but his mother was Marc's neighbor and grew up there in the 70s.

-> On the same street lived Paul McCartney.

-> At the age of 5-6 he was visited by Brian Connolly.

Brian Francis Connolly was a Scottish musician, best known as the lead singer of the British glam rock band Sweet.(wikipedia)

-> His father at that time (around 1994) was The Sweet's agent.

-> Luke's first show was when he was 6 years old with Gary Glitter and met him.

-> Luke was teased at school for being a David Bowie fan because everyone said he was too gay.

-> Luke has Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (1973) as his favorite David Bowie album.

-> He was writing a book about Nico (originally it was going to be a screenplay).

Christa Päffgen was a German singer, songwriter, model and actress, better known by the pseudonym Nico.(wikipedia) And I couldn't find any other information about this, the interview I took this part from is 2016.

-> Luke describes Nico as "German goddess with an unusual voice".

-> When asked which song he would like played at his funeral, he replies: 'Afraid' by Nico or 'London Is The Place For Me' by Lord Kitchener (Aldwyn Roberts).

-> When asked if he would have a theme song he replies that it would be Reptilia from The Strokes.

-> He agrees that he looks like a vampire and that even people comment on it.

-> He says his reference for vampires is Bram Stoker.

-> When asked which he would prefer: Buffy or Angel, he answers Buffy. (All this part about vampires is from an interview for Muse by CLIO, where he talks about Lestat too.)

-> Luke's father worked in the entertainment business for 40 years, music, film, TV, aliens and holograms. Luke grew up with it so he frequented many studios and labels and was always on set or surrounded by notable actors or people.

-> In school he liked Shakespeare and musicals.

-> He would be a lawyer if he wasn't an actor, but he doesn't think it would suit him.

-> He returned to London after university and discovered a documentary that talked about fighting the remaining nazis that existed in London and this sparked his interest in their culture and religion. He spent a year and a half doing research and investigating, he discovered that his neighbor across the street (who was 91 years old) was part of this anti-nazi group and that even his late grandfather participated. He was greatly influenced by this story and it helped him rediscover his Jewish identity and feel comfortable with his culture.

-> Luke is not orthodox. When asked if all this helped him find a path to his religion, he replies:

"Exactly. I mean, I'm not Orthodox. But I feel peace of mind, a sense of... I've now found where I belong in some way. I'm sure it'll probably change in a year, but I feel good about it now."

-> He is the only member of his acting class from 9 years ago who managed to make a living out of it. He says:

"We've all come close, we've all been rejected. We all work hard. Nine times out of 10 you'll get losses, so it is for the thick-skinned. If you're not living, breathing, smoking it each day, it's not for you. I'm the only person in my acting class from nine years ago who makes a living out of this. If someone came to me at 16 and was like, "I want to act," I 'd be like, "Do it now. If it doesn't work out within two or three years, do something else you enjoy. Or find something to do and if you want to do it on the side, then great. Because if you put too much emphasis on it, it will hurt you."

-> Luke's father also lives in LA. Luke wants to stay close to his friends and family. He says:

"My dad lives in L.A.; he's my best friend. I step out of line, he'll tell me immediately. And I've got good friends."

And:

"I don't think I could ever get to that place because my friends, my family, are the most important, the most constant, things in my life. Apart from my football team, of course."

(when he says my football team he means Arsenal because he's a fan.)

-> Luke likes to be professional (and very responsible) when it comes to money. He says:

"As an actor, I'm a professional. As a friend, I'm a professional. I'm there to do my job. But I also need to be professional about money. Obviously you have an accountant, but you need to do your own checks and balances. Otherwise you can get into a lot of trouble."

-> Luke is a person who runs after opportunities, who creates them without waiting for them to knock on his door. He says:

"Because you can't wait for opportunities. You've got to do it yourself. Like how I found out about that story that moved me about Judaism. What did I do? I decided to do research, write and get it into the public. And I sold it to the BBC. I'm not saying it will get made or that I'll be in it, but at least I feel like I have some control over my artistic destiny, rather than waiting for a manager or an agent to tell me there's an audition next week, or I might get this role. I think it's the same in any artistic pursuit. In music, you make a song, you try and produce it, you get friends to do it, you put it up on Spotify. If you want to do advertising, you come up with several ideas, then go to the agencies and pitch them. See if you can make that difference. I don't really feel like opportunities come too often. You gotta make your own."

-> During the pandemic (in 2020) he:

read Brian Southall's Sex Pistols: 90 Days at EMI;

when asked what he was watching he replies:

"Just started The Spy on Netflix, which is very watchable. Started off in isolation watching the mandatory Love Is Blind and Tiger King, but have delved into my Criterion Collection subscription. Just finished watching Betty Blue—a masterpiece!"

*And here I open a parenthesis to talk about the day he and Assad posted about Betty Blue on instagram. Luke had already watched the film in 2020 and then became a fan. On the day in question he thanks a friend for the movie poster. Luke has a collection of posters in his apartment.

practiced 120 push-ups on a machine he successfully set up;

his hobbies (during the pandemic so I don't know if he still does) was learning to cook and learning Welsh.

-> When asked what was the best work email he received during the pandemic, he replies:

"Happy Birthday, you throw the best bday parties, this must really suck for you... hahaha."

-> Luke would like to play villains, he says:

"It's interesting that the bad guy don't think they are bad."

I hope you enjoyed this short summary of who Luke Brandon Field is and I hope from the bottom of my heart that he gets everything he ever dreamed of and deserves because he truly is an amazing person.

Genre Research

My chosen track

Although the track I have chosen could fit a multitude of genres, American Sports is primarily synth or glam rock. It is a unique avenue for the band (Arctic Monkeys) as it strays from their typical indie or alternative sound, as tranquility base uses various inspirations from around the 70s or 80s. Although the song remains subtle in its genre influences, clear parallels can be seen between glam rock and their album, of which I have chosen to research. In addition, I utilised glam rock as a general inspiration for the look of my music video, and even the costume of my lead actor taking subtle inspiration from the 70s genre.

Origins

The origins of glam rock stem from the 1970’s, of which artists drew from classic rock and roll form the 50’s, into science fiction, and melded into specific fashions and playing with gender roles. Arguably the most popular leader of the glam rock genre was David Bowie, but the genre is said to have begun in 1971, with T.Rex’s lead singer Marc Bolan performing Hot Love in glitter and satins, and is said to begin the movement. Glam rock was massively influential, with typically younger adults swapping gender roles, with men wearing glitter and makeup and women wearing more masculine clothing. This more experimental style mainly targeted young adults at the time, with its extension from the art rock in the late 60’s paying a large part in what came to be glam rock.

Fashion

Fashion was a huge part of glam rock, arguably more notable than its music. Loud, bright colours and glitter along with men wearing effeminate clothing became the norm, with artists playing to this as subtly or extreme as they wanted. It seemed to be largely influenced from 1930’s Hollywood glamour, with aspects of Victorian symbolist styles and cabaret theatrics even attributing to the extremely unique and flamboyant style. Gender ambiguity is a large aspect of glam rock, glorifying decadence and the very simple aspects of early pop music that preceded it.

Communities

Due to David Bowie’s leadership of the glam rock movement and his development into the Ziggy Stardust persona, the fashion and music of the time can be largely accredited to the UK. This is because Bowie’s music, along with popular bands such as the Rolling Stones, Queen or Rod Stewart, arguably led to highly successful and popular fashion trends throughout the UK as they were mainly British acts, leading to them dominating other pop culture movements occurring at the time. Due to its origins and popularity arising in the 70’s, glam rock typically spread through performance and fashion trends, of which many people and artists take influence from now, most notably Harry Styles, who’s fashion is largely attributed to Mick Jagger and David Bowie, and continues to inspire younger audiences.

TV and Film

A large inspiration for the widely popular “Rocky Horror Picture Show”, glam rock has been so influential in all aspects of media. A multitude of documentary’s have been made surrounding certain glam rock artists that were released in the mid 70’s, including, but not limited to, David Bowie’s “Ziggy Stardust and the piers from Mars: The Motion Picture” and “Gary Glitter’s Remember Me This Way”. “Velvet Goldmine”, released in 1998, is yet another film that delves into the life of fictional glam rock artist Brian Slade.

Radio and TV stations

Although the genre experienced a steady decline in the latter half of the 70’s, David Bowie and other pioneers of the genre still have their music in circulation, even after their death. Although it remains a very niche market, artists such as Harry Styles still keep the fashion aspect of glam rock alive, as well as artists still performing such as the Rolling Stones are keeping certain aspects of the genre in circulation.

Night clubs

Clubs and bars do keep certain glam rock artists and 70’s songs for certain events, with certain bars (particularly in the UK where the movement was mainly seen) playing glam rock purely to keep the music alive, although it is becoming more and more rare. Most of these bars and clubs are self proclaimed tribute bars, even containing limited memorabilia to pay homage to the late artists that have helped to create such a long standing genre of music, and immensely influential part in fashion.

Activities and Lifestyle

The genre mainly describes a flamboyant lifestyle, whilst relying heavily on the creativity of an artist, with it primarily expressed through clothing and performance and showmanship. It also is a very fun genre to play around with as an artist, with many singers seemingly leading very playful and explorative music videos or live shows.

Alain Kan :: Nadine, Jimmy & Moi

Born in 1944, the French singer Alain Kan has been missing for 32 years, 4 months and 16 days. Last spotted in April of 1990, at the Rue de la Pompe metro station in Paris, Kan left behind a body of work aesthetically indebted to contemporaries Bowie, Reed and Bolan. For a taste, slide into the glam inspired mood piece “Nadine, Jimmy & Moi”, via Kan’s debut LP, 1975’s Et Gary Cooper S’Éloigna Dans Le Désert.
