Gimme 5: Famous Crushes!
July 30, 2010 92 Comments
Here’s a fun & easy one for you and just about everyone can sprout off at least five — so no excuses this week! We all have those actors and actresses who we just love to look at…those men and women who we think are simply hot, hot, hot! From those handsome and gorgeous men and women in those early classic films to the sexy and dazzling stars of today, I am asking this week for you to:
GIMME 5 CELEBRITY CRUSHES:
I Will Start: 
1. Ingrid Bergman
(never to be duplicated; never to be matched)
2. Scarlett Johansson
(a stunning blend of 40′s Hollywood and present day all rolled into one)
3. Jessica Biel
(She doesn’t make many good films at all, but The Illusionist is terrific & so is watching her in it!)
4. Christina Hendricks
(it won’t be long before she starts doing big time films…trust me)
5. Diane Keaton
(the tie, the hat, the vest…the epitome of sexiness forever tattooed in my head — and
she still looks dynamite!)
My apologies to the beautiful Marisa Tomei!!! You’d be perfect on anyone’s Top 5 List!!!
Pingback: Gimme 5: Favorite Love Stories « Magic Lantern Film Blog
1. Leonardo Di Caprio.
2. James Franco
3. Al Pacino
4. Christian Bale
5. Russell Crowe
P.S. I tagged you in a meme over on my blog.
Yeah, James Franco is very attractive. Al Pacino is the man…
Thanks for the mention…I just read it!!!
My list:
Amy Adams
Isla Fisher
Chloe Sevigny
Amanda Seyfried
Kristen Bell
Oooo, isla!!!! Excellent choice hat no one has named. Very good taste. Forgot all about her. Never cared for Chloe (Brown Bunny just killed it all for me)….Nice to see you on here! I need to check out your site!!!!
Well Its hard to forget about Brown Bunny thats for sure!
what is it with chicks and johnny depp? i will never ever get it.
I have no idea, Anna. None at all. And I can certainly admit when a guy is good-looking or not. He always looks like he needs to bathe — plus he is too feminine and not a masculine guy at all.
It’s the eyes….something about the eyes.
1. Heath Ledger
2. Gregory Peck
3. Al Pacino
4. Keanu Reeves
5. Robert Pattinson
and CHRIS COOPER!
Gregory Peck is an interesting one. Pacino I love, of course. As for your #4 and #5, you should feel great shame…Ha!
5: Marion Cotillard- She’s french, and a stone cold stunner!
4: Vera Farmiga- She reminds of the non-celebrity I am currently in love with, and she’s super talented and gorgeous!
3: Natalie Portman- Almost too much class and passion, but since when is that a bad thing?
2: Zooey Deschanel- She’s beautiful and everything she touches turns to gold!
1: Joseph Gordon-Levitt- He’s the best actor working today; he’s absolutely dreamy, and he can dance! I’m not gay, but I would be for him!
Kudos for having the courage to list Mr. Gordon-Levitt. That shows much strength and lots of balls. Good for you. He is a very good actor (loved “The Lookout”). Your four others are great choices…Zooey is a keeper. Marion is stunning, as you say and Natalie is also quite attractive. I can see what you mean about Vera too. Well done.
Dreamy to describe another dude? And you say you are not gay? HA
Oh Vera, Vera, Vera. Yes please.
calm down, Heather….easy tiger.
Mel ( I don’t give a damn he’s HOT)
Dean Martin (old school)
Robert Redford (anytime)
Russell Crowe (MAXIMUS!!)
Johnny Depp
Just don’t get in a jacuzzi with him….he hates the jacuzzi.
Tom Cruise
Gerald Butler ( Yes Peter GB is HOT)
Russel Crowe
Leo
Hugh Jackman
No Girley men here (maybe Leo)
I have to agree! All VERY NICE picks! =)
Hugh Jackman is an excellent choice. Very good looking man. Yes, all manly men unlike some of the more “popular” choices that look more dainty and feminine than masculine.
First 5 that came to mind:
Johnny Depp
Paul Newman
John Travolta (circa Vinnie Barbarino)
Ashton Kutcher
Jason Statham
And Eva Mendez. Yea, I can say it, she’s hot!
1 out of 5…not bad! Nice to mix it up by putting a couple of girls on there in Ashton and Johnny.
Ashton is just plain ol’ eye candy. Johnny is not a girl!
Q- I have to agree with Allison…. Scarlet Johannson is a bitch. AND WHERE IS PENELOPE CRUZ?!
1. Richard Gere in First Knight <3 <3….. ::sigh::
)
2. George Clooney (Hello Batman!!
3. Orlando Bloom, Pirates of the Caribbean 1-3
4. Leonardo DiCaprio, Revolutionary Road
5. Taylor Lautner in the Twilight Series.. but only if he doesn't speak!
I don’t know Scarlett, so I am not sure what she is like — all I know is she is breathtaking to look at and quite talented. Clooney and Gere are very good pics here. I was disappointed in you before…now that you mention Lautner, I am forever ashamed for you. Have you no dignity woman? Your #3 and #4 are very pretty….prettier than some gals on this list.
Breathtaking? Ew, I hope by breathtaking you mean she always has that dumb confused look on her face. And I have sources who have experienced her bitchiness.
I stick by my words. I don’t trust your sources. This is not a personality contest. Top 5 Nicest Celebrities would be a dull topic — and that is a scarce breed anyway.
Well, we know your dear Mel Gibson woud not be on that list! Ha! I win.
I just said I like to LOOK at Lautner. If you can have that skank on your “list” I can make an exception for him! :-p
1. Johnny Depp (he will always be #1)
2. Tom Cruise (in Top Gun & Cocktail)
3. Robert Pattison (only as Edward Cullen not as himself)
4. Matthew McConaughey
Next is a tie between
*5 Paul Walker and Eric Dane
Peter,
I’m very surprised with your list! I really thought Marissa and Penelope would have been your top 2!
Your picks are more feminine than manly. Tom Cruise is very handsome. Your other choices are very pretty.
I’m sorry I have to remove Paul Walker and Eric Dane because Richard Gere needs to be on that list!!!!! I will always love him!
at least that’s a step up. baby steps, I see.
I’m glad you approve! LOL
Ooooo! Fun! Only 5??? Okay…
1. John Cusak
2. Brad Pitt—sorry, he’s just so beautiful!
3. Denzel Washington
4. Matthew McConaughey
5. Edward Burns
If you mention McConaughey one more time, you will be banned from this website, Donna. The man is useless.
Cusack, of course. Nice choice…and Pitt is of course very attractive. Ed Burns??? I can’t believe you!!!!
Sorry I’m with Donna…I love Matthew! =)
you both have poor taste. And you know how much I enjoyed Penelope in “Nine” — she is very sexy, but not enough to crack my Top 5. Marisa was oh-so-close.
You couldn’t stop drooling at the movie!!! Maybe it was Daniel Day Lewis you were drooling over and NOT Penelope! hmmmmmm
no….it was surely Penelope. She looked heavenly…and that dance!!! Please – don’t even get me started with that dance….
Ew, Peter. Just ew.
My point exactly…but yet she’s not on your list!
Tara – I’m not sure she would crack my Top 10. I forgot Sophia Loren who could very easily be #1 or #2…Marisa, of course. Heather Graham is a good one! Mmmm
suck it up, Allison. We ALL have our crushes. I’m comfortable airing my opinions.
All this talk over Penelope and she’s NOT even on your list… I think you need to make some changes.
Good thing he didn’t laminate it!!
Ed “poor man’s Ben Affleck” Burns???? For shame!
Ha!!!! That’s what I thought! And Ben Affleck is not so high up the totem pole either, so to be considered the poor man’s Ben is just lowlier than low. Lame, right??!!!
One should never apologize for loving Brad Pitt. He is a new age Robert Redford. Absolutely old school handsome.
Good idea for a post, this never fails to get people commenting! I might steal that from you someday
5. Lyndsy Fonseca: Random pick coz my attention span is start to flail but she was super hot in Kick Ass
4. Elizabeth Banks: Such an underrated actress and so funny!
3. Zooey Deschanel: I often harp on her apparent lack of range but that doesn’t mean I’m not hypnotized every time I see her in a movie!
2. Amy Adams: She lived a few minutes from my place. Enough said!
1. Rachel McAdams: No comment needed
I love Rachel McAdams!!!! Great pick!!
I completely forgot about Elizabeth Banks….good call. I’m changing my #5 to her.
Elizabeth Banks is a great choice — and her humor makes her even more becoming. Zooey is very pretty….There is something about Amy Adams, I’ll say that — but I don’t see the McAdams thing at all….not my cup o’ tea.
Thanks for the kind words!!!
Really??? I think Rachel McAdams is great
She is lovely and compelling without having to look like a model or whoring it up. I think anyone can respect that.
Congrats on the great success of this post as shown by the nearly 90 comments
Keep it up man!
Thank you, Castor. That means a great deal. I’m sure you know how frustrating it is as a blogger – so it means a lot when I see all of these comments and your kind words. Very true about McAdams – I much prefer a woman who needs no makeup than one who must get gussied up to look decent. Valid point.
Sorry ScarJo’s not on here, but she definitely would have made top 10 haha
You know I actually met her at my school, she came to talk about Obama a few weeks before the election. Pretty poor speech, but no one was really listening anyway lol
Anyway, so this is my top 5:
5. Zooey Deschanel
4. Emmy Rossum
3. Michelle Monoghan
2. Kate Beckinsale
1. Penelope Cruz
Ooooo, Zooey! Giddy-up!!! Very nice! And Penelope?!!! Did you see her in “Nine”??? Oh yeah! Beckinsale is ok – she needs to eat a sandwich or something.
I CANT BELIEVE I FORGOT ELIZABETH HURLEY!!!!
Ms. Hurley needs to eat a sandwich…or a burger…or something!
Marlon Brando (Streetcar)
Christopher Plummer (can blow his whistle at me anytime)
Daniel Day Lewis
Paul Newman
Joaquin Phoenix
Honorable mentions: Jimmy Stewart, Leo DiCaprio
Nora,
A couple of observations:
1) DD Lewis, smells like a suck up to Peter?
2) Did Leo get knocked off after Inception? Like seeing your Shrink in a Speedo?
HAHA
Does Peter have a DD Lewis thing? I honestly don’t know about this…
HAHA! No, Leo is classic & I’ll always love him. I’m just too hot for the others!!
He has a big man crush on him, surprised you did not know. There will be blood and some mediocre acting. HAHA!
Nope, was not aware. I love Daniel Day!!!! He’s awesome! Unbearable Lightness of Being is one of my favorites. Last of the Mohicans, The Boxer- SEXY!!!
My man crush is on Jeff Bridges, not Daniel Day-Lewis. I just say that Day-Lewis is the finest actor we have today (alongside Pacino)
Nice choices except for Phoenix. Very talented, but ugh…Newman of course. Brando looked great in the 40′s and 50′s. Two good looking men who have yet to be matched by any of today’s celebrities.
No, Phoenix is sexy (Walk the Line) and I’m stickin’ to it.
I haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate Scarlet Johannson. She is just plain useless. Peter, I am disappointed Marisa Tomei is not on your list. Tisk tisk.
Oh poor Allison…if you actually went with me to see Ms. Johansson in the Arthur Miller play, you would surely change your tune. She is very talented when she picks a good role/film to work on….
She’s bitchy and pretentions. And absolutely USELESS, as you saw in “Vicky Christina Barcelona”.
*pretentious
Great idea for a top 5! I agree with a couple of your choices too…
1. Jessica Biel
2. Jessica Alba
3. Scarlett Johansson
4. Beyonce
5. Marion Cotillard
we have similar taste, my friend. Can’t go wrong with Scarlett, Marion or Jessica Biel. Your other two ain’t too shabby either…
Ewww Jessica Alba. She looks like a lollipop that was produced from the Hills Have Eyes family.
In no particular order……
1. Vanessa Marcil
2. David Bowie
3. Michael Biehn (the years of Terminator and Aliens)
4. Robert Redford
5. Christian Bale
With John Malkovich and Kate Beckinsale as a runners up.
I was waiting for your David Bowie…HA! If Tori Amos made movies, I would have added her — and Jewel too! Yum!!! Kudos for Redford here…Christian Bale would yell at you and put you down if you walked in his way…hehe
It was Bale or Crowe. Each might throw something or yell at me. Today I pick Bale, but mostly because I recently watched American Psycho again.
did you listen to Phil Collins afterwards?
And Huey Lewis.
wait, sorry… John Malkovich? as in… John Malkovich?
Too funny Nora. It can’t be the John Malkoich we all know.
Haha!! Right? I thought it was just me, that I was missing something here… bizarre
No, it’s John Malkovich. Have you not seen Dangerous Liasons?
After that his overt sexiness goes beyond physical hottness.
I can see that. He may not look the part in the most conventional of ways, but he does exude a fierce sexuality here.
No… just no.
Peter, you exuded something here too.. Not really sure what it is though.
Yes, and yes, and yes.
OH YES! ha!
I’ve always been attracted to sexiness that isn’t obvious. There is a confidence he carries, and he’s an artist. I can’t help myself. I’d take him in a bathrobe and slippers and I’m sure he could woo me.
Diane Keaton Peter??? I guess if you could not put Woody on the list she is the next best thing…
In no order: Giddy Up!
1) Ashley Judd
2) Marisa Tomei
3) Eva Mendez
4) Rita Hayworth
5) Michelle Pfeiffer
there is no knocking Ms. Keaton on the website, sir. She is still beautiful. I’m surprised at none of your 5. Marisa is a great pic – she’s so pretty. Rita is a great old school choice. Not so into Ms. Pfeiffer….you can have her.
Ooh Rita Hayworth, good choice! Have yet to watch Pal Joey.
