This is really funny OnLy_FoR_OrLi -- we're the only 2 people talkin here! Do you really like Rupey too?
I like Orlando Bloom too.. I mean, who doesnt?! He's the "real" gorgeous guy -- truly truly handsome! I like him as Legolas, and I saw him in Pirates of the Caribbean and Troy too.
But he already has a big following, he doesnt need me anymore, he's got a hoard of female fans... so I'll just stick with my Rupert, my ickle Rupeykins, he needs me more 🙂
Thanx so much OnLy_FoR_OrLi -- you're the nicest!
And goodluck to his royal hott-ness-- Orlando Bloom!
You know, the first actor I became a fan of was Tom Hanks.. I'm not that old but I first saw him in "Splash" on TV years after it was released in theaters-- yeah, it was that 'mermaid' movie (I love mermaids).
I started renting his old movies like The Money Pit, re-runs of Bosom Buddies on homevideo, and fell in love with him in "Big" -- all my friends thought he was only good for laffs and that I'm crazy, coz he's too old and all of them go for other (younger) Toms-- Tom Cruises and the likes.
But I told them I see a very good actor in Tom Hanks, one that can do all kinds of films, not just comedies, but dramas too. Now look at him-- one of those who got the most Best Actor awards at the Oscars! And not just for funny movies but serious films like Forrest Gump, Philadelphia, etc.
The next actor I really liked is Tobey Maguire-- yeah, back in his art film days! I first saw him in re-runs of 'Great Scott' and saw a bit of 'Ride with the Devil' on TV.
And just like with Tom Hanks, I started renting whatever old movie of him I could find, like Ice Storm.. but others I know of like Joyride, I couldnt find anywhere. Then I also saw Cider House Rules, Wonder Boys.
My friends laughed at me again coz they said he was sooo "nerdy" -- and again, I told them he's a very good actor and I feel he's gonna be big someday.
When his best friend Leo DiCaprio got really big in Titanic, I thought "just hang on Tobey, your time will come." Well, look where he is now-- bigger than Leo.. he's on top of the world haha!
And I feel the same is gonna happen with my Rupey-wupey! 😊
no, really... I mean, who would have thought! Even I myself wondered why I always believed that Tobey would be a big star someday.. especially when his movies back then were not even making money-- like Wonder Boys...
Even Pleasantville didnt make that good.. coz it wasnt one of those art films he did, like Cider House Rules, so I thought it would do a bit well.
Whenever I saw pics/video clips of Leo DiCaprio filming on location, I would always keep an eye out for those people in the background, behind him, coz I read somewhere that Leo takes his posse with him to these exotic locations.
I was a regular poster at tobeyonline.com and always looking for new interviews of him, coz what I really loved most about him is his background, his sharp wit (which comes out in everything he says), his being uncomfortable with fame and his well-groundedness-- very similar to Rupert!
Then, after a short hiatus, I read a news article about him bagging the role of Peter Parker in Spider-Man. Right then and there, I screamed "this must be it!" And when Spider-Man broke records, my friends couldnt blame me when I shouted to them "I TOLD YOU SO!" along with a hearty LOL!
You can say that-- maybe I have ESPN or sumptin! 😛
