Celebrity Crushes

i'm sure one or two of the older culties know that i have intense longing for kristin kreuk.

i would do morally questionable things with her when we meet.

I have to think on this. my brain is fried at the moment.

Wholly soul, jelly roll, she is something else. I'd never heard of her before, Ronnie.

Even still, she's all yours.

i see you value your life, matt.

yeah, i had the biggest crush on her when i saw her on smallville in 2001. man, that was a decade ago.

edit: last one, promise.

No, no, keep going, please.

STOP BEING SO GORGEOUS, YOU TWO!

Man, I really don't have any. The closest thing I have to a celebrity crush is on Chuck P. himself. He seems like he would be an awesome friend and really cool to hang out with. Instead of humping him, I really want to buy him a beer and ask him "How's life?" and have him call me to cheer him up when shit isn't going his way.

I used to watch The OC in high school for Rachel Bilson. I don't know if I currently have a big celebrity crush, but this is what comes to mind.

This one's the latest:

YUM-O

10 years Smallville was on? Jesus Christ.

Also, I used to have a big crush on Jennifer Garner, especially when she played in Alias.

She's not a classical beauty, but I think she's sexy in her own way. I also really miss Alias. That was a damn good show.

Despite generally preferring brunettes, I was more of an Anna-guy myself. Gosh.

Chris, on the train back from Byron Bay I say next to a girl that reminded me a lot of Jennifer Garner. She was very pretty, in a plain and simple kind of way.

Haters gonna hate.

Yeah, she's got a sweetness about her.

Very girl-next-door.

And, Justin: The Fuck, mate?

Party of Five started my permanent celebrity crush on Jennifer Love Hewitt. The teenage me has informed the adult me's taste. Also, Lacey Chabert from Party of Five was right-up-my-alley too. Both of them are more or less my age too.

And Lacey Chabert:

Stop judging me!

You're really into that guy? No wonder you don't find me attarctive, man. It's because I'm NOT uglier than a hat full of assholes. Shit. You can do better than him. You're a good-looking chap.

Pick again. I demand it.

in no particular order

Edward Norton

Jeremy Davies

Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Benoit Magimel

James McAvoy

RIver Phoenix is my zombie-crush

You're being kinda rude, Matt. He's got a right to be attracted to whoever he pleases, and if that happens to be a guy that you, a hetero male, find 'uglier than a hat full of assholes,' that's fine. But don't be a jerk about it.

If you're expecting me to post some Hollywood hunk then you're shit out of luck.

All of a sudden all the ladies love Gordon-Levitt.

probably would have been pretty creepy to crush on him when he was on 3rd Rock from the sun? yes?

He was trying to give the guy a backhanded compliment. Saying Subby doesn't have to be attracted to strange looking men if he didn't want to.

I wish I were more attracted to unattractive women. All these relationships with women way out of my league is stressful.

Oh good lord yes. He is so sexy.
With you on Norton too, but I find him more cute than sexy.

Also

Clive Owen

You would be so hip right now, though.

"If he didn't want to..." But he does. And so who cares? Besides, compliments should always forehanded.

I love how Kate just rocks in with this massive list. So good. But ladies, given the chance, would you hit on these fellas?

And, Chris, jump down off that high-horse, mate. I was mucking about. And, surely you guys know my style by now. I obviously wasn't trying to offend Justin, and, you know, if he was offended, I'm sure he would've told me to stop being a cunt. He doesn't need you to tell me.

And, yes, it was a compliment, however backhanded it may have been. That guy isn't very attractive. Not in the typical sense. But, yes, if Justin digs him, that's perfectly fine. I'm not judging him. At all. So, maybe, you could stop being a jerk to me?

I wouldnt dream of making passes at any of these dudes. But then that is not my style with anyone. If anything , if I'm attracted to someone, I ignore them. COunter-intuitive, I know. Juvenile too I expect. But that's just how I do.

Would you get all starstruck if one of them approached you?

I'd also like to include a few from after Y2K:

Regina Spektor, whose voice is amazing:

And Michelle Trachtenberg, or Dawn from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and the sister in Eurotrip.

Also, who is Benoit Magimel? I thought it was Eminem at first. But then I looked closer and realised he's a much better looking specimen.

James McAvoy. I don't really get it. You know, most girls I know think he's outstandingly gorgeous. But, I don't see it. He has a really nice jawline. But then he's got that weird fluffy red facial hair. And his chin sucks and it looks like he's constantly pouting or something.

I forgot one.. he definitely goes through good looking phases and kinda greasy looking phases, but when he's good he's so very good... Mr Josh Homme

I find it interesting that you feel compelled to dissect the aesthetics of certain people....as I am sure you are well aware ,attraction is based on a wide variety of things. What is attractive to some will be repellant to others. For instance dudes who wear leather vests just make me roll my eyes... but that's just me. There is no value judgement implied there. Just a subjective preference. He seems intelligent and I am attracted to intelligent-seeming individuals.

Brian Molko, lead singer of Placebo:

Clive Owen:

Ewan McGregor:

Robbie Williams:

Frederic Beigbeder, French writer:

Dragos Bucurenci, Romanian ecologist, journalist, writer, tv show host etc:

I would however only hit on Beigbeder and Bucurenci, and I have, actually. The others are too famous/handsome/amazing to even try. Wanted to go to the afterparty of his reading, when Beigbeder came to town to release a new book, but I was 17 so I thought that might be a problem. I've had a crush on Bucurenci since I was 13, and we met constantly throughout the years, for an interview, the release of the Romanian translation of Trainspotting, mentorship events and various others. It is one of my goals in life to get naughty with him just once, but he's moving to California for an MBA and probably won't come back.

ah, how I used to love Brian Molko when I was 15

Benoit Mangimel was in "The Piano Teacher"- a Michael Haneke film

Well, yeah, I'm dissecting the aesthetics because this is purely aesthetically based. We don't actually know any of these people. And, maybe if we did that attraction would fall away in an instant. It's happened to be a million times. Thought someone was physically attractive but then spoken to them and not even found that attractive in them any longer due to their personality. More than anything, personality is the thing I'm most attracted to in people.

I was merely asking what you girl find attractive, physically, about McAvoy, because, like I said, it seems to be a consensus among many women that he is attractive to the eyes.

And, Josh Homme's trashy wife, Brody Dale, is sooooo hot.

wow. i can't imagine watching that movie with my mom. but then i can't even imagine watching something as innocuous as Amelie with my mom. She is really strict and religious.

McAvoy has incredible eyes, a nice mouth - great jawline like you said. There is a certain level of intensity to his look that I find very attractive. Also the accent. Plus, he's a great actor and like Kate says, he seems like a pretty intelligent guy. Liked him since I first saw him, in Shameless.

McAvoy looks like the romantic man who'd fuck you senseless. Gotta be mad not to like that.

Totally. What woman who saw Atonement didn't want to be Keira Knightley when he pushed her up against that bookcase?

That scene ALWAYS turns me on.

I think Clive Owen is perhaps the best looking man on the planet but realistically (even if he wasn't married and famous), 46 is too old for me.

I like James Franco though.

EDIT

It's very neat that you know those two. But I don't think you should be a quitter!

I tend to be into dudes with severely angled jaw lines.
