Blind Item #2
This foreign born B- list mostly movie actor who willingly gave up A-/B+ list status is a cranky guy. Very cranky. Doing press for his new movie that no one will go see he has been confronted by fans of his past effort that made him famous. If you are lucky he will ignore your requests to have him sign something related to his past effort. If you are not so lucky he will yell at you. Tell you to get a f**king life is one of his favorite expressions. The accent makes it more sinister. Don't worry fans. In a few years he will be at conventions posing for photos and signing autographs at $20 a pop and pretending he loves you.
Sam Worthington? How's he with fans?
ReplyDeleteWho is foreign born and walked away from a franchise? Christian Bale/Bat Man is the only one who jumps out at me, but he would still be A-List.

ReplyDeleteI love when you do that @Seven
DeleteI had to delete, Mz Lotta, Shia LaDouche isn't foreign born and his accent would be more like slurring than anything.
Delete@Seven, Either way it still cracks me up!
DeleteRyan Gosling? With the phrase being "Get the fook OOT of mah face, you hoser, eh?!!"
ReplyDeleteVery funny, TTM!
ReplyDeleteI missed what Seven posted. Damn!
martin freeman
ReplyDelete@Ray, Watson would never!
DeleteI know, its not him but ive read some stuff about MF and it makes me sad.
Delete@Ray, I CAN'T HEAR YOU!
Delete@Ray Martin Freeman is a good guess. He is notoriously ill mannered and refuses to smile for pics. He admitted he doesn't really like fans.
DeleteCan't be Freeman, his new movie is the Hobbit - the blind states it is a movie nobody will go see.
DeleteI for the life of me cannot understand how Freeman keeps getting hired. I agree with everything @its just U said, He refuses to smile for cameras and is constantly flipping them off and dropping F-bombs whenever there's a camera on him. He is just nasty and unpleasant, If there's a god then Freeman will be out of work after his Franchise runs out.
DeleteFreeman's step brother is a born again Christian, ex cult member, cross dresser who likes to hook up with dudes.
DeleteArnold Schwarzenegger?
ReplyDeleteRPatz for THE ROVER.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking Arnold too
ReplyDeleteIn my head I heard Schwartzenegger saying "Hasta la vista, baby."
ReplyDeleteWillingly gave up, as in running for political office while he was still relatively popular and could have made more Arnold type movies
ReplyDeleteIs Arnold cranky though? I thought he was more happy go lucky.
ReplyDeleteNot Arnold. He's a politician, and if he decides to run again, he needs those votes.
ReplyDeleteHope it's not true, but how about Ewan Mcgregor?
Arnold will never run for any political office in the US again.
DeleteHe was a crappy governor, accomplished nothing & left despised by most people for cheating on Maria with that fat maid.
Writergirl got it....
ReplyDeleteThx! :-)
DeleteGuys, Ahnie is working on a new Terminator.
ReplyDeleteEuan MacGregor is known to be very mean and rude to Star Wars fans. No idea if the ratings fit, and he did the entire "prequel trilogy," so it's not like he walked away from the role, so take that for what it's worth.
Russell crowe? 2 new movies coming up and he's notoriously known for being hostile.
ReplyDeleteI like the Rpatz guess, but my first guess was Ewan McGregor. Is he not cranky?
ReplyDeleteI am very bad at this most of the time!
I hope not, but I thought of Jason Statham, with the clue being Crank.
ReplyDeleteBut what franchise and was he ever A list is putting me off.
@Ray, I googled Martin Freeman and you're right, he was a bit cranky on Colbert. Still love you, Dr Watson!
ReplyDeleteMartin Freeman's star is, I think, still on the rise. He's known for flipping the bird to unwelcome cameras... but "by fans of his past effort that made him famous" which past effort was big enough to warrant fans hounding him? Surely he's not still hounded for being Tim on The Office, or the nude body double in Love Actually, or Arthur Dent in Hitchhiker's Guide. The Hobbit / Sherlock are still very much of the present. I just don't think this fits him at all.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the guess about Ewan McGregor.
ReplyDeleteHe has a Scottish accent, plus Star Wars is a typical 'convention'-type movie.
Not sure when he willingly gave up his status though?
PS. It can't be Martin Freeman because The Office made him a star, and that wasn't an embarrassing role/show so I doubt he'd want to forget it.

ReplyDeleteI'll second the Sam Worthington guess.
ReplyDeleteWorthington and Zoe Saldana are signed for at least two more Avatar movies.
ReplyDeleteNot Ewan. I just saw him on a TV show signing autographs for kids and talking about SW with them.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking Keanu Reeves. Old franchise being matrix. It doesnt say he walked away from the franchise, just the status, But is he foreign born? He's considered Canadian I think but born in hawaii? is that right? Too lazy to google, thats a whole new window lol. New movie being that Ronan one?
ReplyDeleteBecca...That practically describes all our governors save for getting the maid pregnant part. :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Russell Crowe - he's a nasty bugger (but can turn on the charm when he wants to).
ReplyDeleteTo the person up there, Keanu Reeves was born overseas - Lebanon or somewhere like that - but is not nasty. He's friendly to people who recognise him.
Arnold is fabulously wealthy. Not him.
ReplyDeleteRPatz isn't a bad guess, though he used to be very uncomfortable around fans, not annoyed by them. It's not Freeman, but he's an ASSWIPE. I love all of his work, but what a vile human being.
ReplyDelete@sparkletron, it is possible after SW he turned down roles in movies that would make him A+, like perhaps another big franchise. Who knows. This is a guy who rode a bike with his best buddy all over the world. Ewan doesn't strike me as a fame whore and does what he wants to do, not what is expected.
ReplyDeleteHere's another name to throw out there. How about Mark Wahlberg? Enty posted a pic of him signing autographs to fans, but said he only would do something like that if he was on camera. Much like the clip Ray Nicolet saw.
Dont these people EVER learn?? How many books or examples do they need to be aware of before they get the message? Dont burn your bridges behind you. You meet the same people on the way down you met on way up. It cost nothing to be nice. If you cant say anything nice, stfu.
ReplyDeleteArnold was A++ and will always be an A++. He's actually a legend at this point.
ReplyDeleteI like the Sam W. guess.
Is Russell Crowe still an A lister?
ReplyDeleteJason Statham!
ReplyDeleteDude has a franchise named Crank and hates attention (hence crank in the blind). When ppl talk to him he always looks pissed. He also keeps his relationship with Rosie undercover A LOT.
Biggest claim to fame is the Transporter series/Guy Ritchie movies.
Or I am guessing Vinnie Jones. Dude is violent and has been in tons of fights, even when he was still a soccer player.
@It's Just U:
ReplyDeleteHe had 2 franchises:
Crank and the Transporter
Oh, and the Expendables of course!
ReplyDeleteHis recent movies are crap though, working with acting talents like Jlo and Kate Bosworth..
gottaa be rpatz
ReplyDeletefreeman is also doing sherlock
sam is on avatar
rpatz just stalled
both of them suck
both as in dirtsen and rpatz
ReplyDeleteWhat about Alex "Pretty"fer?

ReplyDeleteIt's Dan Stevens it's on lainey too.
ReplyDeleteSean Bean game of thrones?
ReplyDeleteJason Statham.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking Russell Crowe here - he has that Noah movie coming out - who the hell wants to see that POS?
ReplyDeleteI'd just hope it's not Mark Wahlberg, although I'm not particularly interested in him. In some interview, he was talking about being in prison, and one day New Kids on the Block were on the TV. He's in prison, and there's his brother on TV. Anyone that comes that far needs to remember how lucky they are.
ReplyDeleteI know he's a dick but I go see any Russell Crowe movie on offer. He's a hell of an actor.
ReplyDeleteDan Stevens? Is he that pissed off about getting nothing in Hollywood post-Downton? Too bad, English David Caruso.
Not Keanu - he's a sweetheart and doesn't have a foreign accent.
Maybe Freeman but I don't know what past work he'd be all bent out of shape over. It's not like he was a Teletubby.
Pattinson didn't walk away from a franchise, is always nice to his fans and will sign anything you give him (even Twilight crap). He even signs for autograph hounds. Plus he's not promoting anything yet.
ReplyDeleteThere was a post elsewhere about Dan Stevens, late of Downton Abbey, who's doing press for his new movie (that I've never heard of) and is refusing to answer to any mention of the show or his role on it.
ReplyDeleteDidn't he want to be let go from the show to go to Hollywood or something, so the creators killed him off? He's from the UK but I'm not sure he's "mostly movie".
The blind doesn't say the actor walked away from the franchise. The blind says he walked away from A list status. It was the franchise that made him famous.
ReplyDeleteWith regard to Dan Stevens, can't see us dressing as Lady Mary to attend Comicon. The English actors like variety in their roles. Their careers are all over the map. Of course, if Hollywood doesn't work out for Stevens, there's always a guest spot on HOLBY CITY!

ReplyDeleteRussell Crowe
ReplyDeleteYou're still wrong, though, because The Rover doesn't even have a trailer out & Pattinson is not promoting anything at the moment. This sounds like someone with a reputation for being an asshole to fans.
ReplyDeleteI don't get stupid people. The actor's right. Those idiots should get a fucking life.
