Blind Item #10
Out at dinner last night, this permanent A list actor who is an Academy Award winner/nominee and a member of the hair club for men, spoke only in Russian to all the staff. No English. None of the staff understood a word he was saying. It was out of control.
Nick Cage?
ReplyDeleteHonorable mentions Matt M and John T
ReplyDeleteIf I thought John Travolting was smart enough to sepeak Russian I would say him.
ReplyDeleteSegal? but he isn't perm A despite deserving it for Under siege, love that movie.
ReplyDeleteSome quick research and found the following big actors who speak Russian -
ReplyDeleteRobert Downey jr. - yes on hair club
Jared Leto - Probably no on hair club
Eli Roth - yes on hair club imo
Ralph Fiennes - I think no on hair club.
Nice cage (I think for Snowden) Hair club YES. Also nuts and a show off when feeling insecure and forgotten, so probably him.
There's a few more like Stallone, Mel Gibson, Sean Peen to name some.
ReplyDeleteSegal has no academy awards/noms just rasberrys
ReplyDeleteLOL I am sure he knows how to say "May I have a massage with a happy ending?" in Russian @sandybrook
ReplyDeleteSo with academy award noms who speak Russian-
ReplyDeleteNic Cage (definitely agree he is #1 suspect)
Robert Downey Jr (he did get a nom right)
Jared Leto (still can't believe he got an Oscar, but I don't think he wigs it up)
Mel Gibson
Stallone (he speaks Russian, seriously? wow)
Did Damon learn Russian for that CIA movie he did, I doubt it - just memorized script.
If Gibson speaks Russian he could be right up at top with Cage imo. Especially if he was drinking.
ReplyDeleteGibson has a child with a Russian, plus he's assholish enough to do this.

ReplyDeleteTotally sounds like something Cage would do - he loves doing voices and thinks they're all great. Sounds like a fun night! lol
ReplyDeleteBwahaha @Montana!😂
ReplyDeleteSo 'being in the hair club for men' means wearing a hair piece?
ReplyDelete"So 'being in the hair club for men' means wearing a hair piece?"
ReplyDeleteWigs, plugs, hair piece, toupee, any kind of phony receding hairline/baldness camouflage.
Yep. That's who I was going to suggest, Kate. Gibson's ex wife is Russian.
ReplyDeleteMalkovich
ReplyDeleteI can't think of a single actor with an AA winner or nominee who has the mental capacity to learn Russian as an adult. Laughed at by the Russian staff serving them, sure, but no I can't think of any who actually know that motherfucking language.
ReplyDeletehahahahaha
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS NIC CAGE. he's at TIFF just premiered Mandy.
Has he won an Oscar?
DeleteLeaving Las Vegas?
DeleteUh, the bar is pretty low at CDAN, we should just be grateful he didn't rape any of the staff. Or rape them in russian.
ReplyDeleteMickey Rourke
ReplyDeleteRDJr. This blind feels like a friendly teasing.
ReplyDeleteBestman, after your comments, and going back and re-reading it, it does seem to possibly be some good natured, over the top ribbing.
ReplyDeleteThat’s a good possibility, Best Man. Would be funny if true. My first thought was Sean Connery, because of The Hunt for Red October, but I can’t remember if he spoke Russian in the movie.
ReplyDeleteOops! He bald.
ReplyDeleteMcConaughey (sp)
ReplyDeleteViggo Mortenson?
ReplyDeleteGood guess! Spoke Russian in Eastern Promises. Spoke it well too.

ReplyDelete"speaking russian" might mean speaking english with a heavy russian stage accent, as if one were an actor playing the role of a Russian..
ReplyDeleteand .... any actor who has done Chekhov (the playwright, not the Starleet ensign) or a cold-sad cold-war movie (Red October, Widowmaker, evan Shatner from Brothers Karamazov or that guy - not Omar Sharif, who has passed away, the other guy - from Doctor Zhivago) knows how to do that.
As for the personality type of someone who would do that .... Downey seems like the best guess. Followed by M. McC.
How about a bl listing all the phoney hair actors? I hear it's almost everybody. Signed someone who still has all his hair but no fame or money.
ReplyDeleteWell Nic Cage was out for his Mandy premiere last night so he could fit. Not sure I would consider him permanent A list tho but sure.
ReplyDeleteSecret KGB Operative Powers Activate! XD
ReplyDeleteProbably some eccentric.
O/T but in relation to who someone brought up earlier, I wanted to share a funny story. A guy I was dating was very excited about the paper he was going to turn into his call in JuCo. He asked me to meet him to help him proofread it, etc... Imagine my shock when the paper he wrote was on the person he admired most in the world was on....Steven Seagal. O....M....G.....that was pretty much it for me. As hot as he was and as great as he was in the sack, I just could not ever be with him again after that. Major cringe. (And yes-I thought he was joking at first, I did laugh, he was offended...I didn't care.)
