Really? Rene Russo?

I found that not believable at all, that he would want to sleep with someone like her.

"Someone like her"?

What, hot? In a position of power?

Being in a position of power does not make a woman 'hot' in itself. Otherwise Angela Merkel, Margaret Thatcher and Jacinda Ardern would all be sex symbols.

I didn't say it did.

Ah ok, got it.

My point is very similar to yours below. He liked her because

1. She is in the industry he wants to be in. Has sway. Pull.
2. She's a good looking woman.

I think Bloom's interest works on several levels. Firstly, he likes Nina because they share goals and have the same corporate-greed attitude to life. He's probably never had the chance to hook up with someone like that before. Secondly, she is his 'in' to the industry, so in that sense its an inversion of the classic older man/younger woman showbiz romance. Thirdly, remember that Bloom is not an ordinary, red-blooded male, he's a sociopath/extreme narcissist or some sort of Asperger spectrum person who does not have 'normal' relationships with anyone, including women. The fact he is attracted to a woman of ANY age and type, as opposed to say, an inanimate object or some sort of sex doll - or worse - is a miracle in itself.
