Blind Items Revealed #5

August 13, 2019

He is on and off the number one movie star of all time box office wise. So, of course this former A list mostly movie actress who is an Academy Award winner/nominee doesn't even remember working with him, or really anyone else that isn't convenient to her story which she always shares. There is quite possibly no other move actress who has been more into herself and cares less about others.

Samuel L Jackson/Gwyneth Paltrow

How and when the hell was SLJ EVER the number one movie star of all time box office wise?

sandybrook said...

Samuel may have been in some of the biggest movies of all-time but I'm pretty sure he wasn't the headline star in most of them, so Entern because he was part of a cast that makes HIM the biggest off and on of all-time, and NOT someone like a Tom Cruise who was THE star of most of his big movies??

SLJ has taken so many roles over the years, some good some not, that he's near top box office by virtue of just being everywhere.

Red Velvet Boots said...

I'm not really sure what the actual blind item is here.

sandybrook said...

It's about GOOP not interacting with or knowing the people she works with on movies

Gerbil S Sac said...

This isn't even a blind. There were numerous reports about this following some interview. Ugh!

Pissoff said...

She probably confuses him with Lawrence Fishburne.

SLJ has been in tons of Marvel movies, then there's Star Wars movies, etc etc. He may not be the leading man, but the movies he is in, make A LOT of money. That's why he's number one. This is actually a fact.

I don't understand why Goop is such a bitch. Her role in MCU is much more smaller than Jackson's. Could have easily made it without her.

Alf Landon said...

There is likely some extra or minor character actor who is the true #1 if you use Box Office.

I fucking love that motherfucking Sam Jackson

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_L._Jackson#Box_office_performance

"Throughout the 1990s, A.C. Neilson E.C.I., a box office tracking company, determined that Jackson appeared in more films than any other actor who grossed $1.7 billion domestically.

By 2011, the films that featured Jackson as a leading actor or supporting co-star have grossed a total of $2.81 to $4.91 billion at the North American box office. This placed him as the seventh highest-grossing lead actor and the second highest-grossing actor, behind only voice actor Frank Welker. The 2009 edition of The Guinness World Records, which uses a different calculation to determine film grosses, stated that Jackson is the world's highest grossing actor, having earned $7.42 billion in 68 films."

SLJ is top box office by sheer dint of the fact that his movies (total) have grossed the most money. Harrison Ford is #2.

She’s just a plain old BITCH, nothing new here people

Amartel said...

"number one movie star of all time box office wise"? Bullshit

SlimKeith said...

If you're in every film, good and bad, it's not unrealistic you'd make it on some top 10 list, some where. He's a consistent, reliable actor and you know what you'll get when you see him in the cast of a film. I keep trying to like Paltrow but she's such a phony and a shob whose only had a few good roles in 20 plus years. Cate should have won the Oscar for Elizabeth.

anna maus said...

it's not because she had zero scenes or story-line with him??

Go the fuck to sleep.

Samuel Jackson floats with Tom Hanks, and Morgan Freeman and Harrison Ford.. They are in the 8 billion plus club. Part of being in the club is to make movies. Tom Cruise is in the 7 billion plus club but like many actors, isn't higher because he's lazy. His penchant for blockbusters means his acting hasn't improved over time. He's as wooden an actor as he ever has been. Not that he couldn't do it. He just doesn't do it.

The above actors treat acting like any other job. They don't take much time off. As Samuel L says: "it's a job. I get up and report to a set. I take a yearly two week vacation. Can't stand it. I don't think my job is special. I'm a hard working guy".
Looking at the average gross per movie is fascinating. Some actors are magic.

Makes sense to me.

Maybe early onset dementia....

cat said...

I did that for years, they don't look or sound alike. My family found it weird. I just always mixed up their faces and movies.

momo said...

She is just stupid, really. I have a friend who worked in admissions for a high end university Goop wanted to attend. She was an airhead during the interview and said friend said NOPE despite her parents being donors, etc. She is just stupid. Oh and really shallow. Many people are. Hate to say it but that's the truth.

Monkeyweather said...

Starring in the most highly successful movies $$$ wise. There are a lot of A listers that are box office poison to some degree

Unknown said...

Being in the same movie does not mean "acting" together. Both SLJ and Goop were in Avengers Endgame. No scenes together, no dialog together. So why should she be expected to remember "working" with him?

I guess regular commenters wouldn't survive a day without hating on Gwyneth or Markle..
