Today's Blind Items - Went Beyond Just The Set
Usually when this A+ list mostly movie actor is on set making a movie he will hook up with someone from the movie. It is one of the ways he passes the time while his wife and kids are at home. He does it on the down low and everyone on his movies pretty much owes their job to the actor so things do not get out very much about what goes on. In one of his most recently filmed movies though, he met someone who looks just like his wife did many years ago when they met and she is much younger and did something that our actor did not think was possible. He fell for her. hard. It probably didn't hurt that she was not wearing much the entire time she was on set. They were from the same area and had a lot of the same interests and it just happened. Usually at the end of filming he writes a nice check and tells the woman goodbye, but with this woman he added her to the company payroll and she has been working full-time for our actor ever since. It is only a matter of time before our publicity shy actor has to do something about the situation. Too many people are starting to whisper about it and talk about it.
Affleck??
ReplyDeleteI thought of him too... But can't think of the girl
ReplyDeleteSo what actress from Boston was in a movie where she didn't wear much?
ReplyDeleteGemma Artherton co starred with him recently on Runner, Runner and she has a passing resemblance to Jen G. I think.
ReplyDeleteShe's from the UK
DeleteI'm thinking someone older than Affleck - someone who has been married for over 15 years or so. Someone who hasn't had rumors about them floating around, God knows there have been enough rumors about Affleck.
ReplyDeleteOoops nevermind totally did not see the whole Boston connection.
ReplyDeleteDenzel or Hanks?
ReplyDeleteIs the woman an actress?
ReplyDeleteYeah just checked IMBD and I'm not sure affleck fits anymore so I got nothing..
ReplyDeleteAndc'mon, no one's gonna look better than jen g!!!!!!
DeleteDoesn't sound like the other woman is an actress.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds to me like the woman is a body double due to the whole "she was not wearing much the entire time she was on set"
ReplyDeleteEither that or someone's doing a remake of Beach Blanket Bingo.
ReplyDeleteIs it too soon to point out what a minx Annette was?
DeleteBen is not publicity shy.
ReplyDeleteI agree that this is someone older, since the new girl is said to resemble the wife when much younger. Jen is really not that old - looks change when a woman is at least over 40.
But I got nothing! A+ should be easy?
Also throwing out that Afflecks not exactly publicity shy.
ReplyDeleteI'm going with Brad Pitt and his World War Z movie, lots of zombies, not much clothing. He has a production company, and doesn't really address the media. I bet Angelina would be fine with it unless he actually falls for someone. Since she seems to have her special friends on the side.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea if Adam Sandler is A+ list, but he fits in the "everyone owes their jobs to him" thing.
ReplyDeleteHis wife and kids always do cameos for his movies. I don't see an on set hook-up going so well with the wife and kids around.
DeleteAs I read this I knew someone would guess him but trust me...I seriously seriously doubt it's him. I worked with him on many occasions and I never ONCE saw anything that would lead me to believe he would do this...trust me. I wanna say more but shouldn't and no he's not gay. Meli is right it does fit him....that line... "a lot ppl do owe him"... not only in front of the camera but even more so behind the scenes (including me at one time) but he never exhibited any kind of womanizing behavior or anything of the like.
DeleteI immediately thought of Harrison Ford
ReplyDeleteTom Hanks.
ReplyDeleteThe Women:ME!
Sorry Rita. It's Forrest Gump
LL, I was just going to say Adam Sandler as well. He's well known for hiring friends and family for his films.
ReplyDeleteI thought of Harrison Ford too as soon as I read "publicity shy" but his new movies, Paranoia and Ender's Game, don't have any actresses I would peg as Calista lookalikes.
ReplyDeleteDaniel Day Lewis? I hope not.
ReplyDeletePierce Brosnan
ReplyDeleteWell it is an actor that has a production company or similar if they can add them to the company payroll.
ReplyDeleteBen Affleck and Brad Pitt have production companies, how about Matt Damon?
What abt Ferrell?
ReplyDeleteMichael Douglas. Maybe an actress in a Vegas showgirl role in his Liberace movie?
ReplyDeleteEnty doesn't give any labels to "the wife". I think if it was a celebrity wife, enty would have said "wife who is an actress" or something.
ReplyDeleteWho are the publicity shy A+ actors?

DeleteSandler's wife is younger than him, though. I think at least ten years.
ReplyDeleteewan macgregor is very private and has an older wife. he's also always rumored to sleep with costars
ReplyDeleteif adam sandler is A+, i give up.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit (with great shame) that I thought of Colin Firth for this. Someone please prove me wrong.
ReplyDeleteNnooooooooo!
Delete'Publicity shy actor'? Isn't that an oxymoron?
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I read this as someone older, like David E. Kelly and Michelle Pheiffer (I realize it says A+ movie actor), but someone maybe not quite that old. 'wife and kids are at home' makes me think the kids are younger? Although, it definitely reads like it could be Gemma Arterton and Ben Affleck.
I think it is actor/producer/sometimes director Clint Eastwood and someone in his new movie.
ReplyDeleteI'll say Woody Allen, just for the "ick" factor..,
ReplyDeleteChristian Bale.
ReplyDeleteImogen Poots.
"Knight of Cups".
Who's f$@&ing Matt Damon?
ReplyDeleteRe: some of the guesses, Colin Firth is neither A+ now nor married, right? I don't consider Ewan McGregor A+ either.
ReplyDeleteIt reads like someone older to me, too. The words "who looks just like his wife many years ago when they met" makes it sound like someone who has been with his wife for quite some time now. Who is A+ with kids and a wife he's been married to for many years? Hanks and Denzel are the only ones I can come up w/off the top of my head. Obviously not Cruise. Matt Damon hasn't been married to his wife that long, his kids are still pretty young. Same for Affleck. Michael Douglas, I don't know. Harrison Ford? Calista isn't that old. Johnny Depp never got married to Vanessa Paradis. Brad and Angie never got married either.
Um...De Niro? Pacino? Nicholson?
Oops, sorry, forgot Nicholson isn't married.
ReplyDelete@librariantobe: Colin Firth is married and has been for 16+ years. His Italian wife (10 years his junior) is (was?) a movie producer and is now big on eco-fashion on the red carpet. I thought maybe the Oscar win bumped him to A+, but I realize I am a bit biased.
ReplyDelete+1!
Deletedef sandler.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Ben Stiller? Christine Taylor no longer acts in all of his movies, so he'd have more room to play.
ReplyDeleteI think it's Brad, he's A+ plus he owns his own production company so the whole company, owe their jobs to him, etc., stuff fits.
ReplyDeleteI like Adam Sandler for this one. i do believe he runs his own production company now, and he definitely hires friends.
ReplyDelete@Snapdragon, I'm a complete moron this morning - I read Colin Firth as Colin Farrell, lol. Whoops!
ReplyDelete@librariantobe -- heh! Yeah, big difference :D
ReplyDeleteBrad & Ang are NOT married.
ReplyDeleteThe cast list for "Grown Ups 2" is loooonnng. I'm sure there are plenty of girls not wearing much for their roles, as it'll be that type of movie (cheerleaders, car washers, etc...). Looking through IMDB, might be hard to find one who's from NY (like Sandler). Also, not all of them have their pics on IMDB. One gal has been in 2 Sandler flicks now (this and "That's My Boy"), but she's way too old to fit this description.
ReplyDeleteKevin Costner is filming something called "Draft Day" in Cleveland right now. His wife, Christine Baumgartner, is a blonde with brown eyes. A pretty little thing called Haley Higgins is also in Draft Day and looks a LOT like Christine.
ReplyDeleteHere's Christine
and here's Haley
Apparently Kevin Costner lived in a lot of places as a kid, so he could conceivably have lived in Ohio where Haley is from. Not sure about their similar interests, but Costner does have an established production company. And he did win 2 Oscars, which is pretty A-ish.
This movie has finished filming, so it can't be costner's current shoot in cleveland
ReplyDeleteSandler was my first thought. Even though his wife and kids occasionally cameo in his movies, that translates into being on set only a day or two out of a shoot. He also shoots on location quite a lot for a comedian.
ReplyDeleteBrad Pitt. What about that assistant he was pictured with the other year that looked a little like AJ? Well not really, but she was brunette and pretty lol.
ReplyDeleteI thought Sandler too. He puts his friends in all of his movies. His wife might be 10 years younger than him but she's still 39. I'm sure he would be into a 22 year old.
ReplyDeleteAnd I think Sandler is A+. He always headlines the movies he is in. They are branded as Adam Sandler movies. He's not cast in other people's stuff. He makes his own. And everyone knows who he is. And he has Happy Maddison productions.
I like CJ's guess, Kevin C. is know for being publicity shy and his wife is not famous. There has also been some rumors about onset affairs but no proof. I specifically remember one about wyatt earp
ReplyDeleteChristian Bale.
ReplyDeleteI could see falling for Haley Higgins. What's not to like?
ReplyDeleteI don't know if it's Sandler, but to be clear, he may have been born in NY, but he is from Manchester New Hampshire. Haven't you ever noticed he constantly rocks a Bruins jersey?? That said I hope it isn't him but it definitely could be.
ReplyDeletewahoowifey - who are you talking about?
ReplyDeleteWhat married w/kids A list actors have production companies? The list is short.
ReplyDeleteSandler may have been been born elsewhere but he's Manchester raised, I had school friends who knew his older brother. His recent sequel flick was filmed near/around Boston-North Shore not far from NH, it's not a stretch that many extras and others on set were from that general vicinity.
Dennis quad and Julianne hough
ReplyDeleteJeff Bridges?
ReplyDeleteJeff Bridges?
ReplyDeleteCouple of fresh young things working on "A Winter's Tale" with Russell Crowe. He's not officially divorced yet. Seems like he does a good job of keeping his affairs covered up. Also tends to be really into whomever he's with at the moment-
ReplyDeleteI think it might be Robert DeNiro on the movie Last Vegas.
ReplyDeletePitt is not married
ReplyDeleteBale has no production compagny ,has only one kid and "knight of cups" has been filmed around his house's aera in Santa Monica
Affleck and Damon are too young
The guy looks enough old or married since a long time
Tom Hanks immediately sprung to mind for me, not sure how old some of his children are though. And he does have his own production company
ReplyDeleteNice homework, CJ... Thanks for the pics! You're right, it all fits for KC. Is it just me, or does his current (Christine) look remarkably similar to Brittany Murphy?? Eerie.
ReplyDeleteThe Denzel guess sounds good too, but that would really suck. He is supposed to be the shining example of a rich & famous black man who has been married and faithful to his black wife for years. Then again, wouldn't be the first time my eternally optimistic outlook has led to disappointment.
Leighton meister who was in that's my boy with sandler looks like a young Jackie titone sandler. Leighton grew up largely in NYC and sandler attended nyu.
ReplyDeleteJohnny Depp & Amber Heard
ReplyDelete@LL - I thought this was Adam Sandler for the same reason. Though I'm hoping it's not him, it all seems to fit.
