Movie star/ actor you would most like to date?

[imenja]

For me, there is only one choice: Denzel Washington.

Edit: again, irrespective of marital/ partnership status, yours or theirs.

[RubyDuby in GA]

1. Matt Damon

and I don't care what you people say.

[imenja]

5. that's very sweet

He seems like a nice guy. I took a silly quiz once that was designed to determine which movie start was most compatible with me: Matt Damon was the answer.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

8. my sister saw him in a local bar last Friday night.

Matt Damon went to high school (a few years behind) my sister.

[Justyce]

2. David Duchovny. n/t

[skypilot]

3. Little known Canadian actor...

...Joel Keller. I love redheads.

[RevolutionaryActs]

4. Ewan McGregor!!!!!!!!!!!

:o

[imenja]

6. okay, I also add Clive Owen

in violation of my usually policy of avoiding Englishmen (based on personal experience, the details of which I'll spare you all).

[arwalden]

7. I'm Certain Paulette Would Have A Word Or Two For You About That...

My list would start off with... Brendan Fraser, Brad Garrett, Kevin Weisman, Robert Maschio (more later).

[Quixote1818]

9. Marissa Tomei !!!!! And I don't get crushes easily. nt

[last_texas_dem]

95. I agree

Marisa Tomei is totally beautiful. Winona Ryder and Natalie Portman (and she's at least more in my age range!) are both very pretty, too, but Marisa Tomei always gets me.

[FrankBooth]

113. Marisa is hot

I would choose Victoria Abril (from the Almodovar movies) or whoever that woman was who played the lead in "Y Tu Mama Tambien."

[gollygee]

10. Jude Law!

Please please please please please please please please.

[thom1102]

13. Oh, oh yeah! Him too!

[thom1102]

11. If Colin Farrell were to quit smoking...

and undergo laser tattoo removal, I would be all over him. James Marsden springs to mind, as does Orlando Bloom.

[imenja]

17. Is this for a shag or an actual dating?

I can't imagine spending any extended period of time with Colin Farrell, even if he is very good looking.

[faithfulcitizen]

67. We must have similar tastes, but I'd take Colin as is!...

for a one nighter anyway! ;) Also really like Orlando Bloom, Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp, & Taye Diggs :9

[oregonjen]

12. Harrison Ford

When I saw him in '77 as Han Solo, that was it.

[RevCheesehead]

60. Ditto.

But he didn't really get my attention until Indiana Jones. There's something wonderful about older men - they age gracefully. (but he needs to get rid of the earring, and grow out his hair).

[imenja]

110. his attraction ended for me when he starting dating Calista Flockhart

I just can't get over the anorexic thing.

[ceile]

14. Vincent DiNofrio or Cillian Murphy n/t

[imenja]

36. I like DiNofrio too

I've never heard of the other one.

[tjdee]

73. Cillian Murphy just got married. :(

He is SOOOOOOO adorable.

If he weren't so interested in being theateriffic, I think he could be a big star here. He is very talented. And very cute!

[Bertha Venation]

15. don't want to date her, but I have an unbelievable crush on

Mariska Hargitay.

hubba hubba!

[imenja]

18. she's covered under the TV thread

this is for movies. You know she's Jane Mansfield's daughter, right?

[Bertha Venation]

23. Yep. She was in the car when Jayne was beheaded.

:(

[imenja]

24. ooh, I missed that gruesome detail

I didn't know she was beheaded.

[CanuckAmok]

82. She wasn't. Urban myth:

http://www.snopes.com/movies/actors/jayne.htm

(what is interesting, though, is the connection to Church of Satan founder, Anton LaVey...)

"...Although Mansfield's actual mode of death was gruesome, she was not beheaded. According to the police report on the accident, "the upper portion of this white female's head was severed." Her death certificate notes a "crushed skull with avulsion (forcible separation or detachment) of cranium and brain." One thinks of a beheading as the neck's being sliced through, causing the head to be separated from the body, but that is clearly not what happened here. Scalping is perhaps a closer description of Mansfield's fate, but even that word does not accurately reflect the cranial trauma she suffered, because scalping victims at least retain an intact skull. The Angel of Death did not afford Mansfield this luxury: Her skull was cracked or sliced open, and a sizeable piece of it was carried away.

As gruesome as this mode of death was, it at least had the benefit of being quick. Mansfield probably never felt what happened to her, and because of the sharply reduced visibility conditions on the road that night, she likely had only an instant of "We're going to crash!" shock to cope with before the impact.

Kenneth Anger's 1975 Hollywood Babylon contains a controversial photo of the wrecked Electra which shows Mansfield's dead dog lying beside the car, but the item in the shot that arouses discussion is what appears to be a blonde wig. Was it truly a wig, or was it the top part of Mansfield's head? "

[Gildor Inglorion]

16. Ryan Philippe

*swoon*:loveya:

[progmom]

19. I kind of like Viggo Mortensen

He's hot and smart and artsy fartsy...

[imenja]

20. definitely

[MissMillie]

100. Gets my vote

liberal, musical, poetic.... and hot as HELL.

[Zan_of_Texas]

21. a few more non-conditions?

irrespective of their sexual preference, or breathing status?

(Actually, Kate probably was an equal opportunity date.)

Katharine Hepburn.

[imenja]

22. Would Cate Blanchette as Hepburn do?

I love Katherine Hepburn as well. And Cate Blanchette looked amazing at the Oscars.

[GalleryGod]

25. Mimi Rogers!

I could get lost in her...:evilgrin:
Well... you know

[Skittles]

37. she is quite striking

underrated as an actress too

[Skittles]

38. double post

[driver8]

46. Mimi Rogers is so sexy...

That body, those legs, those lips...oh yeah, she's a good actress, too.

[Maddy McCall]

26. I'd like to hang out with Kevin Spacey

I'm just intrigued by him. Don't know exactly what it is about him, but he fascinates me.

[Maddy McCall]

27. And Joaquin Phoenix.

Another guy who enchants me. :shrug:

[Menshevik]

35. ohhh yeah

I love Joaquin Phoenix!

[xmas74]

119. Joaquin is hot!

[jswordy]

28. Salma Hayek

[mcscajun]

29. Kevin Spacey, Absolutely.

The man's fascinating, immensely talented, intelligent, politically aware, and a friend of the Big Dog. :)

[Skittles]

41. Isn't he gay?

NOT that there's anything wrong with that. :D

[mcscajun]

49. No proof one way or another; no reason to believe he is.

And I'd still spend the evening with him, regardless. :)

[imenja]

58. he has said he is not

so we should respect that, I believe.

[mcscajun]

96. Beyond that, I love *this* quote from him:

Discussing occasional misconceptions by women that he is gay: "For them it's a challenge. They want to be the one to turn me around. I let them."

[NewJeffCT]

30. Jessica Alba, and many others

She's young & gorgeous.

Others:
1) Halle Berry (gorgeous, but a bit crazy, so could be wild in bed...)
2) Angelina Jolie (seems like the wild type, too)
3) Natalie Portman (just so I could see if she's as gorgeous in person, and she seems nice & intelligent, too)
4) Zhao Wei (so I could stare into those eyes...)
5) Salma Hayek (just really hot, and supposedly a nice person)

[Left Is Write]

31. Adrian Paul.

[arwalden]

32. Vin Diesel

[Divameow77]

33. Where do I begin

Orlando Bloom, Josh Duhamel, Joseph Fiennes, Ewan McGregor.... I think I could go on and on.

[BurtWorm]

34. Maggie Gyllenhaal

:spank:

[faithfulcitizen]

68. I like her brother Jake...

:9

[CanuckAmok]

78. oh, yeah!!!!! Or maybe Mira Sorvino. Oh, heck, y not both?(pic heavy post)

She's a little young for me, but then, who isn't?

So gorgeous...






:loveya: !

I'm also quite keen on Mira Sorvino... and we have a mutual friend! Maybe she'll hook me up with Mira...






:loveya: :loveya:

[Arkana]

39. Catherine Zeta-Jones...*Homer drool*

If not her, then Lindsay Lohan *double Homer drool*

[Skittles]

40. Zach Braff

such a cutie pie and looks like he'd be a lot of fun. Tell you what though - I certainly would not turn down Denzel. No INDEED! :D

[mordarlar]

42. Gary Oldman.

[Dem2theMax]

43. Fun topic! If he were still alive, there'd be only one answer.

Cary Grant. Sigh. Cary at any age. He was fabulous right up to his last breath. :)

But since I have to go with someone actually breathing, 'Naveen Andrews.' If you don't know who he is, you haven't been watching Lost. ;)

I'm single, he's living with someone. I can wait. LOL.

[imenja]

52. of course there is only one Cary Grant

He's the suavest man in history. Is that Sayid? He got lots of votes under the thread I posted asking about TV heart throbs.

[Dem2theMax]

66. That would be Sayid! Yummy. I'm holding out for him.

Barbara Hershey has to give him up at some point. LOL.

[Blue-Jay]

44. Halle Berry! Because my S/O said "I'd do her!"

So would I, baby. So would I.

[Huckebein the Raven]

45. A tie between

Sienna Miller




Kate Beckinsale




Audrey Tautou



and Virginie Ledoyen

[Huckebein the Raven]

72. Add Natalie Portman and Jennifer Beals to my list

[Kire]

47. Poppy Montgomery

[Blaukraut]

48. Karl Urban

I'd drop everything and evryONE for that gorgeous Kiwi :loveya:

[imenja]

50. He's gorgeous

What has he been in? I don't know him.

[Blaukraut]

54. last movie was Bourne Supremacy

He played Kirill.
He was in a few indy films from New Zealand, and played Cupid and Caesar in Xena.
You might have seen him as Eomer in LOTR 2 and 3, as well.
Next major role will be the lead in Doom. (can you tell I'm obsessed here? lol) :-)

[mondo joe]

51. Christopher Meloni?

[imenja]

53. did you last week's episode of SVU?

The one where he was interrogating the child rapist? That was his Emmy winning performance. He's a very good actor.

[mondo joe]

61. No. Was he wearing a speedo by any chance?

He's a great actor. :-)

[imenja]

64. nah, that was on Oz

Actually on Oz you could see him sans speedo. It's amazing to think those two characters are played by the same man. I used to watch both shows. His performances are so good that you are able to suspend belief and not think of one while watching the other.

[solinvictus]

55. Salma Hayek

Mmmmmm! Perfection!!

[Zomby Woof]

56. Me

Well, I date myself every time I tell a story about the old days. :dunce:

[imenja]

57. care to share one of your stories?

[Abelman]

59. Lindsay Lohan

Don't try to talk me out of it.

[imenja]

62. she's stunning

particularly in comparison to all the blond, non-descript celebrities her age. There are endless 18-21 year olds that seem to all look alike.

[hyphenate]

63. I must be getting old

but I haven't had a genuine hankering for awhile for a fantasy relationship.

On the other hand, there is a laundry list of those with whom I would definitely never say no should the occasion arise.

Richard Dean Anderson: No problem--brilliant man, good actor, lives by many of the same values as the characters he portrays. Not bad to look at, either.

William Petersen: Smart, introverted, but could keep me entertained for hours. Again--not bad to look at, either.

Eric Close: Don't know how smart he is, but who cares? A few nights with him, and I'd be perfectly happy!

Michael Keaton: Just something about Keaton that makes me laugh. I think he'd be hilarious to have around.

Kevin Bacon: A guy who keeps his wits about him, who can act as well as write, produce and do music. Filled with a great amount of common sense, and a certain humbleness which belies the fame and popularity he has.

[ignatius 2]

65. George Clooney(drool,drool.) Handsome,smart, a kickass smile and

he's a good democrat.

[cynatnite]

69. original and in their primes would be these guys

AT THE SAME TIME B-)

Paul Michael Glaser and David Soul circa 1976

Yeah, it's a while back, but in their Starsky & Hutch days they rocked and were freaking hot!

For a today celeb it would be Pierce Brosnan

[imenja]

70. I was in love

with Glaser when I was 10. They were it in the 70s.

[Avalux]

71. Ed Burns

yeah, I have a thing for Ed. :evilgrin:

[6000eliot]

74. Thomas Jane

I think he's a cutey, even if he's not a big star, and despite the fact that he probably wouldn't want to date a 45 year old man!

[imenja]

77. link to a photo?

What's he been in man. Don't worry about who he'd want to date. None of these folks would likely date any of us.

[6000eliot]

87. Let's see if I can do this

I can't figure out how to include a photo link in my post. The most famous thing he did was play Mickey Mantle in the TV movie 61*.

[Divameow77]

98. Thomas Jane was The Punisher

wasn't he?
Really stupid movie my husband made me watch.

[6000eliot]

103. I haven't seen it

but I've seen a still of TJ hot and shirtless.

[kodi]

75. jessica lange.

.

[sakabatou]

76. Natalie Portman

Zhao Zangyi (sp.)
Selma Hayak

[Hardrada]

79. Helen Mirren

or Sigourney Weaver. Someone elegant 'round my age.

[Wapsie B]

80. Cameron Diaz.

But in reality who I want to date is a woman who I love and who loves me, something I've not done in my life. I'm still perplexed as to how this DU romance thing works. But then I've always been thick-headed about meeting women.

[imenja]

85. I know nothing about DU romance

In fact the thought never occurred to me. That shows you how out of it I am.
I think the key is probably going for qualities that matter in a person, intelligence, kindness, etc... rather than the superficial traits that many of us are drawn to. Though, I'm the last one to be giving advice on this subject, so consider it free association.

[Wapsie B]

86. It's all part of the package.

The personality, intelligence, kindness, etc...are very important. But there still has to be that spark, that chemistry between two people. Yes the superficial traits attract many of us. But we're only human animals. The key is to decide whether you want to be with just a pretty face or someone you feel a true bond.

edit: DU romance? There could be a forum just for that.

[imenja]

if you want to see the perfect man

when it comes to treating women, tune into today's Oprah if you can catch it. Will Smith is talking about his relationship with his wife, Jada Pickett. Now that is a man who cherishes his wife.

[imenja]

105. if you want to see the perfect man

when it comes to treating women, tune into today's Oprah if you can catch it. Will Smith is talking about his relationship with his wife, Jada Pinkett. Now that is a man who cherishes his wife.

[LiberalVoice]

81. Natalie Portman in one billionth of a second!

One of the most stunning woman I have ever layed eyes on!
Who else?

And Renee Zellweger...I thought she looked amazing in bridget jones...but then again I like the "thick ladies" even though she wasnt even that big

lmao

[Robeson]

83. Easy. Debbie DuPree from Sea Lab 2021......

...She is too hot.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

84. My choices

Beth Broderick -"Aunt Zelda" from "Sabrina The Teenage Witch". From what I've heard she's also a devoted humanitarian who is also progressive in terms of her political ideology. And I know this isn't a TV thread but I actually saw her in a movie and fell in love with her before seeing her on TV so she can be included here. In fact I think that her role as "Zelda" was not one of her better roles so my crush on her is almost solely based on her as a movie star
Meg Ryan -I've always had a crush on her
Joanne Whalley Kilmer
Lisa Banes (little known actress but nevertheless someone I've also had a crush on)
Barbara Hershey
Susan Sarandon
Mary Kay Place
Linda Hamilton
Virginia Madsen
Laura Linney
There are several more but that's all I can think of

[Swamp Rat]

88. Katherine Hepburn, Whoopi Goldberg, or Shelley Duvall

[mcscajun]

97. Nothin' wrong with your choices, except…

Kate's no longer on the 'eligibles list'.

[Swamp Rat]

99. I still would like to date her

... no, not the cadaver. :D

The question asked, "Movie star/ actor you would most like to date?" I WOULD like to date Hepburn. One can dream... :)

[mcscajun]

101. Indeed.

Glad you cleared up that necrophiliac possibility, though. ;)

[imenja]

104. Whoopi's an interesting choice

It's nice to see a guy who doesn't go for the most obvious and common choices.

[Swamp Rat]

112. Ha! To me they ARE the obvious choices.

:)

Strong women who are intelligent, talanted, empathetic, and don't take shit from men... Audrey Hepburn should be added now that I think of it. :loveya:

:hi:

[Borgnine]

89. She's a comedian, not an actor, but...

Tina Fey.

Runner-up would be Gillian Anderson.

[DemGa]

90. Julie Delpy

Julie, if you read this, hello!

[imenja]

109. question about Before Sunrise

or whatever the name of that movie was she did with Uma Therman's ex a number of years ago. Didn't it turn out they were brother and sister in that movie? And then they did a second installment when they were still lovers? Do I remember that first film incorrectly? I saw it years ago when it was first out in theaters.

[tjdee]

115. You're WAY off, LOL!

No, they're not brother and sister.

SPOILER FOLLOWS:

They basically spend all day and night together. They did a sequel, because at the end of the first one they make plans to meet up again.

[imenja]

117. but...

wasn't there part of the story that had them meet up with a mother in Greece or somewhere, and there was some sort of connection they weren't aware of?

Maybe I'm thinking of another movie with Julie Delpy. I think I saw it in Brazil, so the title would have been translated differently.
It might even have been a French film. As you can see, I have early onset Alzheimer's.

[tjdee]

118. No....they spend the entire day/night in Vienna.

I think you're thinking of another Delpy film...

[SKKY]

91. Natalie Portman every day, all day...

...all that and brains too? Are you kidding me? She's way too good to be true. Although, being the guy I am, I'd probably cheat on her with Selma Hayek. Hey!!! It's my fantasy, right????

[foxy]

92. Sean Connery

[B Calm]

93. Jennifer Aniston or Nicole Kidman

[Maine-ah]

94. Jude Law.

[GaYellowDawg]

102. Uma Thurman.

Six feet of drop-dead gorgeous, staturesque, intelligent, Democratic blonde.

Rowr.

[imenja]

106. okay, I'm officially changing my Hollywood heartthrob to Will Smith

I just saw him on Oprah. What a great guy. Of course, I'd have to magically become Jada Pinkett for anything to happen. Where's my genie?

[edbermac]

107. Cheech and Chong

We'd sit around, smoke a few bones and discuss the meaning of life...

[mvd]

108. Right now, Natalie Portman

If she's a Democrat, Katie Holmes. I'm not sure of Katie's political leanings. One thing I know is she has respect for any President, including the current idiot in chief - but she supposedly said she supported Gore in 2000, and she was at a Fahrenheit 9/11 premiere.

[mvd]

111. I see Amber Tamblyn has been in movies, too

She just might be my #1 crush.

[lumberingbear]

114. William H. Macy

Every thing about him is great!

[khashka]

116. Hmmm.....

Ok, I'll agree with you on Denzel. He's freaking gorgeous..

But for me it would have to be William H. Macey. There is nothing sexier than talent and he has the most soulful eyes...

Or possibly Angelina Jolie - she's almost as weird as I am and I really like weird girls.


Khash.

[LiberalVoice]

120. I dunno about Angelina Jolie...

To put it ni the words of another DUer...She just comes off as "unsanitary". I dunno what it is but I just dont like it. :shrug:

[jmowreader]

121. Sandra Bullock

Very cute, good actress, liberal too.
