Lee Pace Turns Heads with More Rugged Look for Season 3 of 'Foundation'

Men's Journal writes that one of the best shows on Apple TV+ is "Foundation," the "Duned"-scaled big Space Opera from the novels of Isaac Asimov. "If you're into sci-fi intrigue, a massive cast of "Game of Thrones"-style characters, and cool mysteries that take centuries to unfold, 'Foundation is very much for you."

On the show, Men's Journal writes, Lee Pace plays various roles as a cloned Emperor named Cleon, who, in Season 3, seems to be on the run and away from his throne. In the trailer and in the photos, Pace is jacked as usual, but his clean-cut look from the previous two seasons has been replaced by a more rugged, bearded style.

One still in particular has gone viral. It shows the queer star shirtless wearing a neatly-tied sarong. His hair has grown out to shoulder-length and he has full beard.

Instinct Magazine writes: "The new season promises ten sprawling episodes packed with political intrigue, rebellion, and just the right dash of existential dread (this is Foundation after all). Alongside Lee Pace, the cast lineup remains as stacked as ever. Cherry Jones, Brandon P. Bell, Synnøve Karlsen, Cody Fern, Tómas Lemarquis, Alexander Siddig, Troy Kotsur, Pilou Asbæk, Laura Birn, Cassian Bilton, Terrence Mann, Rowena King, and Lou Llobell all return to enrich the complex, galaxy-spanning narrative. But let's be honest, many of us are tuning in just as much for the space opera as we are for Lee Pace looking like he just stepped off the cover of an Intergalactic version of Instinct Magazine!"

Instinct adds that off-screen, the 6'5″ actor (yes, we double-checked) continues to give us reasons to swoon. Pace is happily married to Matthew Foley, an executive at the iconic fashion house Thom Browne.

Foundation returns to Apple TV+ on July 11 with ten episodes.
