Charles Melton In Charge

OH, NO. Did I just call Charles Melton a himbo? We’re an hour into lunch at Millie’s Cafe in Los Angeles and I’ve just remarked that he seems to have found an unusual niche in “complicated himbos.” I’d been thinking of Austin, Melton’s character in the new season of the critically acclaimed anthology series Beef. Austin is a football star turned trainer who, in the show’s early episodes, is swept into the machinations of his fiancée (Cailee Spaeny) after the two witness a damning fight between the manager of the country club where they work (Oscar Isaac) and his wife (Carey Mulligan).
