I have a list. Yes, that list, whereby I dream of the famous fellows I’d like to bed should I ever have the opportunity and even though I’m married now, Dman says I’m allowed the list. Of course, he does complain that it seems to grow ever longer, what with the James McAvoys of this world.
Now my number one spot has historically gone to the best Batman there ever was, Christian Bale. He’s been bumped off a couple of times by Gerard Butler (post-300) and the aforementioned James (post-whatever movie of his is in the theater at the time.)
But what snagged Christian the permanent top slot is an interview I happened to catch on Charlie Rose just after having seen Rescue Dawn. (I do want to point out that the movie was Dman’s idea, not mine. He’s way into war movies…)
Anyway, there’s Christian with his fantastic Welsh accent discussing the making of the movie and when he’s asked about his “craft”, the craft of acting, he actually answered that he found talking about acting boring. That he’s extremely fortunate and grateful to be able to make movies but that he found it more interesting to discuss books or music. Quite frankly, when he said that, I think Dman actually got a bit of a male crush on him.
I’ve dated a few actors and I can tell you there’s nothing more irritating than one discussing his “craft” so Christian gained a permanent place in my extramarital fantasies with that answer. I’m just thinking about this today b/c I happened to read a Details interview on him (following a thread through the James McAvoy interview!) So yeah, he’s as thoughtful and interesting as ever. Sigh. Oh, and he’s happily married with a daughter. Double sigh.
Just a fantasy, folks… I’ve ended my homewrecking ways, remember?
