Today's Blind Items - The Method Marriage
Method acting can take its toll on an actor who does it, but when he does it to an unsuspecting person and makes them her spouse, it can be brutal. Our actor is almost A list. He is famous for saying he is a method actor although his method does not always coincide with what his role is. One time he was playing a conservative man and visited strip clubs every night to prepare saying he felt that inside his character there was a dark place that wanted to visit strippers every night. Not that long ago he got married and his wife is expressing frustration to everyone she can. She wants it to work. She does not want to look stupid and she will if they divorce. The thing is the actor recently told her that he married her because a role he is in called for him to be married so he wanted to feel that for the role. He also said that his character is a junkie which it isn;t but gave our actor a chance to start using heroin again which is his all-time favorite thing to do. The good news for his wife is that our actor is so distracted by his heroin that he has started letting her out of the house. Prior to that he was smothering her with his closeness.
Ryan and Blake is the first thing to pop into my head...

ReplyDeleteSacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher

ReplyDeleteAll my method guesses are all A-list, Hoffman, Deniro, Bale
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I hear method I think of Christian Bale and I couldn't get him out of my head to think of anyone else. He doesn't fit though.
ReplyDeleteOoh - I like the Giovanni guess
ReplyDeleteGiovanni Ribisi...
ReplyDeleteGiovanni Ribisi & Agnes Deyn? I think they were the pick for a blind about her not getting out & some creepy-over they top closeness. Recently married after a quick courtship & he seems to get into his roles. He was great in Ted my the way, as a supporting character.
ReplyDeleteSo this would be a man in his first marriage. And why would she look stupid if it didn't work? Maybe if it was a "everyone warned her" situation?
ReplyDeleteIsla Fisher and Sascha Baron Cohen have been married over three years--and I don't think she'd look stupid if they divorced. It's a good guess, though.
ReplyDeleteAhhh didn't see the recently married part until now. I withdraw my guess.
ReplyDeletenot sasha baron cohen! Isla fisher works
ReplyDeletenot ryan reynolds! his next role is a father trying to track down his kidnapped daughter.
Ribisi is not almost A list and his wife continue to be model and act
I like the Giovanni guess, @karen et al!!!
ReplyDeleteSo much for Scientology keeping people sober LOL
I seriously don't think it's Ribisi. He's WAY too into CO$ for this to be allowed to happen. Really don't think Ryan Reynolds used heroin either, that seems way off base. All that being said, I really don't have any guesses. Bale would have been a good guess, but he's been married awhile.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that Enty says she will look stupid if they divorce leads me to think it was someone who got married quickly or something. I like the Sasha/Isla guess except they have been married for a while and I don't think she would look stupid. It doesn't mention kids, so I like the Giovanni Ribisi guess since they got married on a whim and I guess she might look stupid for marrying so quickly.
ReplyDeleteI read it as Ryan and Blake until the heroin. I've been wrong before but I just don't see him as a heroin junkie.
ReplyDeleteThis would make me really sad if this is Giovanni Ribisi. He's not quite A list so he fits but he's been around long enough that you know who he is when you see him.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like the wife isn't famous. Who has gotten married recently? The only person that comes to mind is Baldwin, but I don't really peg him for a heroin user.
ReplyDeleteBale is at least A list and he's married since forever
ReplyDeleteVince Vaughn
ReplyDeleteI'm on the Ribisi train. The marriage was out of the blue and he's a bit odd, as in Nicholas Cage odd.
ReplyDeleteIs Ethan Hawk remarried?
ReplyDeleteHmm...Giovanni Ribisi has been married before, actually. From 1997-2001. The blind definitely sounds like a first marriage, so hmmm.
ReplyDeleteI think Giovanni Ribisi too!! Didn't Peaches Geldof allegedly have a " drying out" sesh at the COS? ( sorry, can't find the dollar sign on this thing)
ReplyDeleteHawke is remarried since since 2008
ReplyDeleteHugh Hefner and crystal Harris. That Hef, he's such a druggie -- those Alzheimer's drugs get addictive
ReplyDeleteWho brags about being a method actor?
ReplyDeleteI like the Giovanni guess too. He's been so gaunt, skinny, grey pallored, for the last few years. And has always been such a weird/wild, yet good actor. He's also Co$. And there was the recent blind re: the new wife who's husband was smothering her to death, thought to be re: him and Agneyss ( I don't care to correctly try and spell your pretentious name lady) Deyn? And wasn't there recently a blind about a brand new and sexless marriage thought to be them too..??
ReplyDeleteDaniel Day Lewis is method, and Sascha Baron Cohen too..
ReplyDeleteI don't think any of these guesses are right yet...Ribisi isn't even close to A and his wife works quite a bit.
ReplyDeleteBill and Hillary Clinton
ReplyDeleteI feel like "has started letting her out of the house" is exaggerated to show how clingy he is.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like not only a new marriage, but a new relationship. Matthew McConaughey has been with his wife for years even though they only recently got married. Why would he choose to start smothering her now, just because they're married?
Giovanni was the first one I thought of. I could see him both being a "method actor" and using heroin.
ReplyDeleteDANIE DAY LEWIS FTW
ReplyDeleteDidn't Blake kinda trap Ryan so i doubt its them
ReplyDeleteI'd buy Giovanni for this way before I'd consider RR. he just doesn't strike me as a heroin user.
ReplyDeleteAnd, GR has been in so many great character and supporting roles (sort of like Phillip Seymour Hoffman) I could see his rating as such.
I agree with the Giovanni Ribisi guess, he's working on a movie about David Koresh which could be the character he's going method for. And he can be close to A list, his kind of well known, good actor and the list of movies he's been in is impressive.
ReplyDeleteCOS does NOT try to keep its celebrity adherents from using drugs. They like it. They know that, beyond the blackmail leverage, drug use and clam-thought makes for an ironclad co-dependency lock on someone's psyche.
ReplyDeleteRibisi was very convincing as a strung out reporter in The Rum Diaries. Actually, I thought it was a fine performance.
@ B Profane, good point about the co dependency!
DeleteGreat point. Wasn't Juliet Lewis rumored to be an (ex) addict too? She's all up in that freaky church too
DeleteAlso, there's good reason to think that the blog gets very good inside info on COS celebrities.
ReplyDeleteDaniel Day Lewis I think IS A list, not almost. Of course that can be the fan girl in me talking :)
ReplyDeleteRibisi dumped a long-term GF right before hooking up with Deyn. If he'd wanted to feel married, why not marry her?
ReplyDeleteLewis is solid A+. It would be a little generous to call Ribisi almost A-list, but not by much.
ReplyDeleteDoes Colin Farrell fit? That's where I went with it and he is a method actor
ReplyDeleteI was joking with Daniel day Lewis.
ReplyDeleteAs usual I don't know who the blind is about, but that is one messed up reason to get married.
ReplyDeleteGiovanni is doing a movie called I Fought the Law about the death of Booby Fuller. Here is the synopsis:
ReplyDeleteA writer finds a link between his fiancé's suicide and the unsolved death of Bobby Fuller, a one-hit wonder from the '60s. His investigation into their deaths leads him to a conspiracy involving the music industry, LAPD and snuff films.
I believe Gio is playing the writer.
Everything else is in post prod. or still being written.
But I think the biggest clue of the blind is the last sentence, "Prior to that he was smothering her..." which he was right?
Did Ed Norton recently get married?
ReplyDeleteGiovanni has creeped me out since X Files.
ReplyDeleteOtherwise I would say Joaquin Phoenix because Ted C. used to call him Brain-Fry Noodlestein, but he is not recently married that I know of.
ReplyDelete@Mikey That reminds me: This is in the Mail today: Joaquin Brought Sister As Date
DeleteWasn't there a blind last year about a brother a sister "dating," and the fam was cool with it? This pic of them together totally reminded me of that
@vipblonde, holy crap good catch. I remember looking into that one and once I found she lived just around the corner from each other i was sold. There's also pics of them holding hands as dates to a PETA function.
DeleteI don't think it's Ribisi if only because I've never seen him playing a conservative character
ReplyDeleteI don't recall that Lewis has ever admitted to using but I believe there were rumors that she was strung out around the time of her Natural Born Killers/Strange Days career peak.
ReplyDeleteShe's another actor-clam that I'd like to see escape the clutches of COS. They can keep Cruise, Alley and Elfman, but Lewis and Ribisi are actually talented.
Rebecca Miller can handle Daniel Day-Lewis, she had years of experience watching her mom cater to her dad....
ReplyDelete@Mikey, I always wondered who Brain-Fry was....thanks for the confirmation! :)
ReplyDelete@what the hell VIPblonde. ewwww
ReplyDeleteI have no idea if he is a method actor (Chipmunk movies have method actors?), but what about the guy who just married Amber Tamblin David Cross?
ReplyDeletewhat about daniel craig & rachel weiss?
ReplyDeletefrom november 2012: "Method actors suggest that you do sense memory exercises every time you do a scene. I use every method I can. Whatever works, I'll use." - Daniel Craig on his nameless role in the gangster film "Layer Cake."
I co-sign with Karen!
ReplyDeleteHope it's not Daniel & Rachel. Would like them to be happy in spite of rumors. Blake has been MIA since marriage but heroin does not seem to fit Ryan's clean cut / uptight image (whatever thats worth) so I guess the Giovanni guesses have it.
ReplyDeleteThat quote just proves that Craig isn't a real Method actor. Sense memory has been discredited as a Method technique for years. It can go horribly wrong. Did for me.
ReplyDeleteBesides, Craig and David Cross aren't the types to do heroin!
David Cross talks about doing heroin in his stand up - but this still isn't him.
DeleteDaniel Day Lewis has been married too long, that would be really Method, even for him.
ReplyDeleteGiovanni is a weird guy, but he's way too deep in the Co$ to get away with heroin, right?
Another method actor is Phillip Seymour Hoffman, though he's been married since 1999 so chances are very slim this is him. I think Giovanni Ribisi is a good guess, although I don't think he's almost A-list...
ReplyDeleteThe Rock.
ReplyDeleteI love Jason Lee, but he's in COS.
ReplyDeleteI like the Ryan/Blake guess. She really went after him, and he keeps her under his thumb.
B. I really like Juliette. It always made me kinda sad she believes in the utter nonsense.
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling Giovanni for this - just recently married - and quickly, so that could make her look stupid if they split - and he always looks like death warmed over.
ReplyDeleteRibisi doesn't always look like death warmed over, that's the thing. Sometimes he looks Buscemi-odd, but healthy. And sometimes he totally has the junkie wasting and pallor. Which makes him an even better fit.
ReplyDeleteI love both Giovanni Ribisi and Juliette Lewis! Curse you CO$!
ReplyDeleteSadly, so far GR does seem the best fit...
Giovanni is a method actor:

What about Zach Galifiniakis? Just married in August..
ReplyDeleteIIRC, Zach G had been with his new wife for a long time before they wed. Plus he's really not the type to screw around with junk. Total pothead, of course.

ReplyDeleteGiovanni Ribisi's First Appearance Since Surprise ...
lansingstatejournal.comNew3 days ago - 58 sec
Giovanni Ribisi didn't flaunt his wedding ring after marrying Agyness Deyn as he attended the LA premiere ...
What about Alec Baldwin?
ReplyDeleteCould be Giovanni.
ReplyDeleteI had to pipe in and mention that I just saw him at an airport last month. He didn't look creepy and was nice. My luggage was falling over and I caught it in the nick of time. He said "nice catch" to me. Seemed like a pretty normal dude.
Daniel Day Lewis? Been married a while but wacky and very method.
ReplyDeleteRachel Weisz would definitely look stupid if she got a divorce from Daniel Craig. That said, I really don't see him as a heroin user.
ReplyDeleteRibisi. Method actor? Maybe. Douchebag that would do heroin? Fer sure.
