Revisiting Thomas Jane’s Proposal to Patricia Arquette
Here’s a big Awwwww moment for all the romantics out there. Tattle met up with Thomas Jane and he told them about his marriage proposal to Patricia Arquette:
Tags: Patricia Arquette, thomas-janeLast week Thomas Jane told Tattle’s Baird Jones at the premiere party for “The Mist” at NYC’s Rosa Mexicano how he popped the question to wife Patricia Arquette.
“My marriage proposal was very simple,” he said. “I cut myself into a Charlie Chaplin film and rented out a silent movie theater in Los Angeles and invited my wife to be on a date to go see a silent film.
” . . . When we walked in, the theater was dark and you could not see that it was empty. Then I had the projectionist and the owner laughing and trying to make it sound like there were people there.
“About 20 minutes into it, I cut myself into the film with cards. Chaplin swallowed a whistle and in the movie there was a host of a party who gathered everyone around a piano to sing a song with cards. Then they cut to me with cards and each card said, ‘Will’ ‘You’ ‘Marry’ ‘Me’ ‘Patricia.’ I had dressed myself up like a waiter and Patricia (Arquette) was sitting there thinking to herself, ‘Who is this waiter?’
” . . . Finally it dawned on her what was going on. She shouted ‘Yes’ at the screen, over and over. Then we had the projectionist run it again just for fun. I kept a copy.”

Awwww, that is so sweet. I’ve always heard Patricia tell that story and thought it was the sweetest, most romantic proposal I’d ever heard of. But I’ve never heard Thomas talk about it. I don’t blame her for saying ‘YES!’ I would have been shouting ‘yesyesyesyes’ at the screen at the top of my lungs. If you want to see something really cute though, watch the video of Patricia on the Tonight show last November when she’s telling the story and she talks about how nervous Thomas was, and how his hands were sweaty, and he was so scared that he walked out just before the proposal scene and she was looking for him while he was on the screen. You can see that video at Patricia-Arquette.com. It’s in the Videos section as a download. It’s so cute.
