Favorite celebrity (Non Anime related)

#1 Post by Snowflower » Tue Apr 12, 2011 10:28 pm

I know majority of the forum topics are something in relations to the anime world, but I thought I should make a topic regarding the non-anime world XD

Anyway, just reply with the name of your favorite celebrities and why~

Me:

Mir from MBLAQ
That boy is sooooooo adorable. His normal appearance, any appearances that doesn't involve him singing/rapping, is absolutely cuteeeeee beyond adorable!!! He has sooo much cuteness. But once he's on stage as the rapper of MBLAQ, he is incredibly charismatic & HOT!!! Oh my.... *fans herself*

&

Taylor Lautner
Some people may tell me I only like him because of Twilight Saga, but I've had a crush on him since he was doing karate commercials & Sharkboy and Lavagirl.... He's.... amazing.

I don't really follow celebrities. I know of most of them, I just can't really say I admire too many of them. :b

But if Bryce Dallas Howard counts as a celebrity, that's who I pick. She was absolutely beautiful in "The Village", both in appearance and talent. *_*

I really like Will Smith and Johnny Depp as my favorite actors. I actually admire a lot of actors, I just can't name them off the top of my head since they're aren't a lot I really REALLY like, like the two I listed above. Will Smith because I enjoy him in any role he takes on, Johnny Depp because, although not all his roles are the best, he still stars in interesting movies nonetheless. Oh, but I can't forget Morgan Freeman. He's just awesome by default.

As for actresses, Nicole Kidman, Catherine Zeta Jones, and Ellen Page. They're all very excellent actresses :)

Perhaps I am cheating, but I have been a big fan of Mariko-chama of AKB48 fame lately.

Nathan Fillion
Mal in Firefly, Captain Hammer in Doctor Horrible's Sing-a-long-blog, and Richard Castle in Castle.
This guy is my nerdtastic hero. He's into all things nerdy, he's a great actor, and he shows up in tons of the stuff I like. I'm very fond of him because he's always been very down to earth and playful in all the interviews I've read.

Yamashita Tomohisa
The only thing I've seen him in is Kurosagi, but I loved it.
I thought the Kurosagi manga was kinda cool, so I decided to give the drama a try. I expected a cute boy prancing around being cute, but it turns out that Yamashita is actually a really good actor. I was near tears a few times... I wish I could watch more with him in it, but DARNIT J-drama is expensive. orz

YES. I adore Nathan Fillion in almost everything in which I've seen him. He always seems to have fun with his characters And I love that he embraces his fans. A lot of actors with a strong cult following try to break away from their fan base, but he seems to genuinely enjoy the nerdier side of mainstream.

Other actors I like: Jon Hamm, Tina Fey, and Neil Patrick Harris, among others...
All right, now you can probably guess which TV shows I watch. :P

In terms of film actors, a lot of the "old Hollywood" stars: Jimmy Stewart, Paul Newman, Humphrey Bogart, etc. Among contemporary actors, Christian Bale, Leonardo DiCaprio, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Colin Firth, Alan Rickman...and a lot of others. XD

These are my two most favorite actresses and I really admire them so much.
Emma Watson and Selena Gomez. They are such great actresses and not to mention very good role models.
As for older Hollywood stars maybe Natalie Portman (Her perfomance in the Black Swan was so impressive, that it creeped me out.)

I have a lot of favorite actors, (I am a fangirl of loads of young male celebrities.)And those young male celebrities does not include Justin Bieber!
For the older actors, maybe the one that impressed me the most, would be Liam Neeson. I don't know why, but I always end up liking the action movies he stars in. (And that's saying something since I'm not a fan of action movies.)
Oh and I almost forgot to add Leanardo DiCaprio, he is just so darn good in almost any kind of movie genre.

Nathan Fillion results in good times.

Celebrities that I like? I can't be sure. I don't really pay attention, most of the time, to celebrities. I may recognize actors and actresses, and of course some of the scandals reach my uninterested ears, but for the most part I distance myself from them. Furthermore, celebrity does not mean just actors. They can be political figures, philanthropists, athletes, activists, musicians, directors, authors, talk-show hosts (they don't count as actors in my mind), royalty, millionaires, and so fourth. That is a very broad spectrum. Also, there are 'pocket' celebrities within certain sub cultures. However I do appreciate the attempt to lead away from just anime things (because, let's face it, despite this being a mainly anime/manga fanbase, it does get old).

I just... can't narrow my thoughts down to anyone, especially since celebrities are so distant from me. I can like what they do, but I doubt I could like them. I know I am needlessly over analyzing the question, but I'm in an over-analytical mood.

That and I hit reply with every desire of answering this question honestly, but as I sat there and stared blankly, I realized I don't like celebrities. (If you aren't normal, I'm abnormal with you, LVUER)

Except for maybe Joss Whedon, but my appreciation for him arrived from his prodcution of Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog during the writing strike. It gave me something to smile during a dark time where my beloved Pushing Daisies was being trampled!

Oh man, I can't believe I forgot to mention these guys; David Tennant (Tenth Doctor; Doctor Who), Benedict Cumberbatch (BBC Sherlock), and Robert Downey Jr. (awesome Tony Stark and was wonderful in the 2009 Sherlock movie).

And although she hasn't done anything very substantial recently, Melissa Joan Hart will always have a spot in my heart for her long performance as Sabrina the Teenage Witch.

I so second Nathan Fillion. Wish he got to play Nathan Drake, he would have been absolutly perfect for the part.
And I adore Hugh Jackman. Such a gentleman, funny, can dance and entertain an audience and was oh so sexy as Wolverine. Plus he is Australian <3
