Apart from a long-time crush on Natalie
Portman (mainly based on roles from two of her movies) and an off and
on crush on Rachel McAdams, I have never really followed or been
interested in celebrities and watching their interviews. Even for the
previous two, I have very rarely watched interviews with them but
recently there have been a few celebrities whose interviews I search
out and enjoy watching and even enjoy learning some about their
lives. So here is my celebrity favorites list and what I would like
to do with each of them (spoiler alert, it's not anything dirty), in
no particular order.
- Jennifer Lawrence. I think this girl is one of the funniest, most ridiculous, and adorable actresses out there right now. I've heard she can curse like a sailor, so I know I wouldn't like that aspect of her, but I would like to find a really really bad/corny movie and watch it in a living-room group setting with her (with her providing plenty of narration of course). I love watching her interviews and enjoy her acting but I can't decide whether I would greatly enjoy hanging out with her or if she would drive me crazy. I think we would get along great in small doses. She would probably only tolerate me if she got my dry humor, otherwise I would be too bland.
- Emma Watson. I admire this woman, for the character she got to play in Harry Potter and the woman she is today. I would love to get coffee with her to talk about books, current world events, and her work with the UN. I think she is smart, charming, and lovely. The thing I think I would be most nervous of is appearing a little ignorant.
- Emma Stone. I think she is one of the most adorable and charming girls around. I would love to spend the day with her and Andrew Garfield (her boyfriend or past boyfriend) hiking or kayaking. I think they are cute together and genuinely think I would get along with both of them, especially if they were together.
- Logan Lerman. He just seems like a sweet, likeable kid. I thought he was perfect in Perks of Being a Wallflower and I'm looking forward to seeing him in Fury. I think he, Andrew Garfield and I share similar personalities and think they may be oddball enough for me to get along with well.
- And lastly, Taylor Swift. At certain times (especially when she does not have a lot of makeup on) I have thought she was quite beautiful but, and I know may seem odd, I never really developed a crush on her until I saw the video for Shake It Off. I love that even with all her fame, she doesn't take herself too seriously and isn't afraid to be a little dorky (which is one of the things I like about Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence as well). I also love that she is getting attention for being so supportive of some of her female friends. Speaking of her female friends, I think it would fun to make dinner with a couple of them and Taylor and then watch a movie. In high school and college I used to sometime be a part of “girl nights” and I think Taylor would be someone fun to experience this with. P.S. One day one of my sisters and I were talking about Taylor Swift and out of nowhere she said, “Your not allowed to date her.” So even if I ever got the chance, I guess I'd have to let it pass by. :)
A couple things I think all of these
people have in common is that they are all sweet and intelligent
people.
I know fame has a lot of advantages
(and I believe some of the above people are using those advantages to
help humanity), a lot of perks but I also know I probably would not
handle fame well. I am a very passive and laid-back person but if
paparazzi was getting in my face and especially in the face of
someone I care about, I may have a hard time not throwing a punch or
uttering a few threats. I know celebrity houses/estates are often
very excessive but I can somewhat understand why so many indulge in
that excessiveness. Those compounds are a refuge to attempt to keep
prying eyes and listening ears at arms length. I think I would have
to take the Johnny Depp approach and live in a place where not many
people care about my fame.
I feel like I should say that if I were
to make a list of favorite actors, as far as how well I like their
acting, it would be a little different. Note: some of these people I
do not like in “real life” I merely think they act well and
typically chose good parts.
In no particular order:
- Dakota Fanning. I've thought this girl was an amazing actress since she was tiny (in I Am Sam and Man on Fire)
- Denzel Washington (good guy, bad guy, good guy who's ruthless, he can do them all)
- Tom Hanks (I may have thought Castaway was boring, but he still did an amazing job)
- Ashley Judd (she's so strong, I love her in Kiss the Girls)
- Morgan Freeman
- Will Smith (well, minus that After Earth or whatever one he recently did with his son)
- Tom Cruise
- Jennifer Lawrence (she made it onto both of my lists)
- Leonardo Dicaprio (there may be a lot of his movies I don't really like, but he does a an excellent job)
- Natalie Portman (if you think she always plays the same cute/adorable character then watch The Other Boleyn Girl, actually don't, it's a sad, twisted movie that makes you hate Ms. Portman)
