Movie star crushes

AlterEgo

Let’s be shallow for a moment and talk about our favourite movie stars. They might be your favourite because you admire their acting skills or maybe you just like their looks…that’s where the shallow comes in. It will be fun to find out who we all like for whatever reason. It can be present or past.

so I will set the ball rolling

actors I like for their acting skills     Tom Hanks, Dennis Quaid, Alan Rickman.  Dennis Quaid was particularly good in his role as Doc Holliday in Wyatt Earp.
Actors I like for their looks

Gerard Butler belting out Music of the night in Phantom of the opera.

Hugh Jackman, in most things but particularly in the movie Australia.

Brendan Fraser in George of the Jungle, who looked pretty damn good in Armani and again in Dudley Do Right, dressed in black leathers and riding a motor bike.

Scarlett Johansson is beautiful as is Uma Thermann but I don’t think you can beat Angelina Jolie in The Tourist, she was absolutely gorgeous and I wanted to be her.

Go on, reveal all dear people, tell us about your movie star crushes.

  • Not a crush, but after I had seen 'The Man Who Fell To Earth' when I was a lad, I became absolutely obsessed with David Bowie's character in that film. Probably something to do with being a stranger in a strange land I suppose, though I didn't fully appreciate it at the time. My picture ID for this forum comes from that film - someone may recognise it and/or it's context!

    He looked incredible and, as usual, years ahead of his time:

    I was listening to 'Fame' today, and it struck me that the single wouldn't have seemed out of place had it been released twenty years after it was.

    Absolutely right! He was pretty much playing himself I think. You may already know this but Nic Roeg the director of the film was going to cast Robert Redford in the title role until he saw the BBC documentary 'Cracked Actor', and decided that Bowie was perfect for it instead.

    That's the cover to 'Low' isn't it? What an album that is! Another Bowie product that seemed to have appeared form the future. Going off topic here, apologies!
