Childhood crushes grown up




Does anyone remember Angels in the Outfield? The Disney movie that..yes...starred a young Joseph Gordon Levitt. I remember thinking then he was the cutest thing alive, which led me to believe I would marry someone like him. ( Give me a break..I was 7)This of course led me to my infamous crush because he reminded me of Joseph Gordon Levitt and played baseball. haha. But usually these childhood celeb crushes don't get to be relived as a young adult. As a teen perhaps, because we all remember when Johnathon Taylor Thomas formed abs, but at 23?
He's always been there. Third Rock from the Sun, 10 Things I hate about You...but 500 days of summer? After his appearance back on the "big screen" I began researching this old love of mine..and wow...the pictures I found. And of course the movies (...of course...). The first picture I have posted is from a rather saucy/steamy photo shoot with Claudia Schiffer.My Favorite picture was a little too R rated for me to feel comfortable posting, but the one I did choose still portrays the hottie he's become. I just love it when someone that was adorable becomes hot. Not everyone ages well. I would have talks at 1411 about who in our lives we'd assume would age well and how had already begun to show that they are, in fact, attractive. It's fun to think about. Vain,shallow, yet entertaining. We're allowed to live on the surface at times, just enjoy what's in front of us.

But what do I enjoy most from this rediscovery? It's beyond the shallow looks and his sexy...sexy..sexy body ( mmmm give me a second...ok). The boy can legit act. I'm currently watching Uncertainty....look it up. It's keeping me thoroughly confused...which I enjoy from movies seeing that I have the bad habit of figuring out the catch about 15 minutes in. Even in 500 days of Summer, whether you liked the movie or not, you couldn't doubt the acting and chemistry appeared natural. Another awesome characteristic? He hardly ever plays the same character. There are dimensions in his acting persona. It's refreshing when you don't see that much nowadays.

I just like these little pop ups in life. The meaningless things that make your heart beat a little different. I'm enjoying this movie week I've decided to have. Started off with Michael Cera, but maybe now I'll aim for the Independent Films, educate myself a little. It'll be interesting. And all because I find a boy hott.Not a bad outcome from a vain motive, correct?

  1. I am totally with you there! JGL aged VERY well. and I have tremendous respect for him as an actor. and he went to Columbia, so he's brainy, and he speaks French, so he could pretty much woo me any way he tried, lol. <3

  2. haha its so true! I think I died a little knowing that I'd never have him when I read that he went to Columbia for a bit. I'm determined to watch some of his short films and more independent things, its just hard to find decent copies online.:-X
