This doesn't just apply to the "trunk" of his body, it also applies to his limbs: James often took all of this a step further by propping up one leg (see the middle picture, above) or using an object to support one or both arms (see gun picture, above) . The basic lean can be modified in a number of ways. You can place a hand in your pocket (usually the back pocket), arch your back, or employ the sideways lean. The James Dean Lean – we figured we would let you in on one of the master’s tactics, leaning. Going through James Dean’s films and pictures you will notice he is leaning up against something in a lot of them.

Something about the fact that nervous, insecure people can't relax like that. I also think Dean was expressing aloofness and detachment from other people. Once I saw some TV footage of Elvis practicing being cool and sexy. It was quite effective. However, I think coolness is overrated.
