Move aside Gerard, I'm fascinated by a new-to-me actor, but I think this means me having to officially embrace being a cradle-robber. He's almost young enough to be my son. Not sure I want to share him with you, though, ladies. Maybe I'll keep him all to myself.
All right, fine. It is Monday. You guys probably deserve it. First, let's see if you can guess who he is. Don't want to make this too easy.
Some of you may have known about this guy for ages, but I can be a bit slow on the uptake. So let me start with the first movie in which I saw this actor. Terminator Salvation. As far as I'm concerned, he stole the show from Christian Bale (yes, Michele, he totally did), and I happen to LOVE Christian Bale. Got my attention big time.
Next, it was a small independent Australian flick, called Somersault. Didn't know he was in it. Wasn't sure what it was about. But it had won a bunch of Aussie awards, and it's been on my Netflix queue for a while. I love this type of quiet, indy film, and ... let's just say the lovely hairy chest was a bonus.
The deal was cinched when I went to Avatar on Valentine's Day. I had purposefully not read any reviews, didn't pay much attention to what the movie was about, and didn't listen to anyone ready to tell me about the story because I wanted a fresh experience. This guy was amazing. Sweet. Sexy. Strong. In either his human or Na'vi form.
Then there's always that Aussie accent ...
I think I've found the face of my next hero.
Sam Worthington.He has the most expressive eyes and lips, and he has quiet and brooding down to an art. Why is it that the less a man says, the more attractive he is?
He's set to play Perseus in the upcoming remake of Clash of the Titans. Can't wait. Okay, so maybe I'm not quite ready to ask Gerard to step aside, but I'm getting close.
Do you have a new favorite hero? New favorite actor? When you stumble upon a new actress or actor, do you go out and gobble up his/her backlist of movies?
A few more pics of Sam to start your week off on the right foot.
