Blind Item #1
This former A+ list mostly movie actor might still be an A. Maybe. He is always the lead, but his time has come and gone. He spent most of the day the other day on his latest film trying to impress a 20 year old who finally put him off for good by reminding the married actor she was not even born when he had last been nominated for an Academy Award. Our actor then tried to have her fired.
Math is hard.
ReplyDeleteSylvester Stallone? Al Pacino?
ReplyDeleteNic Cage?
ReplyDeleteHarrison ford
ReplyDeleteAcademy Award was in 1985 or 86
Film is You Belong to me
This sounds right.
DeleteWillis? Costner? DeNiro?
ReplyDeleteI was thinking Bruce Willis till the award part.
ReplyDeleteEw, old balls...
ReplyDeleteThe only balls over 60 I'd touch might be Connery's
ReplyDeleteWoody Harrelson

ReplyDeleteJust saw 'married'---But I think we can exclude Warren Beatty, because he doesn't work, right?
ReplyDeleteAlso Woody Harrelson seems to be RISING in rank, not falling.
No good clues here, could be many.
I like @Kristin's guess of Harrison Ford.
ReplyDeleteAlthough Zac Efron is also in "You Belong To Me." Can't he take care of the young lady? He certainly has the muscles for it at this point.
ReplyDeleteCostner
ReplyDeleteFWIW, I pictured Harrison Ford while I was reading this.
ReplyDeleteI like Costner for this. Ford has gotten some Oscar buzz for 42.
ReplyDeleteSean Penn? Wasn't he revealed to be the guy doing ANYTHING to look younger, including doing his hair a certain way, but still the ladies make fun of him because it is so desperate?
ReplyDeleteI know Penn won an award, but I am cheating; before he won he was nominated, like every winner was ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd I loves me some Harrison Ford, so I'm going to just assume that it was good-natured Old Man Flirting. I mean, hello, it's Hans Solo - that should rightfully earn him a lifetime of giggles from the girlies.
ReplyDelete@ myself - Han Solo. Forgive me, superfans.
DeleteI'm gonna guess Costner, based on his pushy reputation with women, but especially the '20 years' clue. I just realized that I saw DwW 20-something years ago....1991?
ReplyDeleteCostner fell right in the terlet after that Oscar year. He also seems the type to have to try harder than some to still get laid by 20-year olds.
Is Harrison really gone? I think he can still open a movie. Now Costner on the other hand....I like that guess.
ReplyDeleteOnly thing is I probably would have rated Costner b- at this point. He's not opening any big movies.
ReplyDeleteCostner is actually listed as currently filming something, and it lists a cast that includes a couple of girls who look young enough to fit the clue.
ReplyDeleteThe Ford movie mentioned is still in 'pre-production', though I suppose there may be some interaction between the cast beforehand (?). IMDb didn't even list the cast.
Costner's touring with his band right now: http://kevincostnermodernwest.com/tour/
ReplyDelete(Yeah, I like his band. I actually prefer his music to his acting, so there you go.)
I just saw an article about Costner in the middle of filming a movie.
ReplyDeleteBruce Willis is acting real strange lately. Seen on talk shows and he just is not acting right, Something is going on here.
ReplyDeleteYep Costner filming black and white. 1991 last nom
ReplyDeletePenn isn't married and he just won for milk 4 years ago.
Deniro was nominated for slp this year.
Harrison for the win Alex.
ReplyDeleteIt could be someone in their 40s. 40 is ancient to some 20 year olds. :-)
ReplyDeleteIsn't Harrison Ford supposed to be dying of cancer?
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard that but I have heard that HF is a mean drunk.
Gotta be Costner. Always chasing the young stuff.
ReplyDeleteHarrison Ford can still get it.
ReplyDeleteFlirtyChick74: Agreed! When I was 20 I thought it would be totally creepy to fuck a 40 yr. Now that I'm 53 I'd love to do one.
ReplyDeleteI believe Kevin's last nomination was in early 92 for JFK. So the time fits. Though he just played a supporting role in Man of Steel so he's not always the lead.
ReplyDelete@Tae: Haha you are right.. him hitting on someone below the age of 4 might be a bit extreme xD
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like just the kind of dickhead move Kevin Costner would pull.
ReplyDeleteI'd jump on Harrison Ford if he offered it up, I'd just picture Solo in my head.
ReplyDeleteCostner probably.
@Sherry LOL, right there with ya.
ReplyDeleteCostner. Always skeevy and mean when he doesn't get his way.
ugh, and I used to LOVE him.
Definitely Costner. He's been a hound since day 1, and just seems that awful. Harrison Ford married Calista Flockhart, for God's sake, he doesn't seem the type to hit on random young actresses.
ReplyDeleteI thought for sure it was Bruce Willis but as the other person who mentioned him said, don't think he's been nominated.
ReplyDeleteSince this happens quite often, it could be anyone.
ReplyDeleteDenzel ??
Costner or Ford.
ReplyDeleteBut Costner's not always the lead anymore. Plus he wasn't mostly movie, he was movie. Also the words say when "nominated" for the Oscar. Costner won, okay not for acting, but he won for directing and best picture, and I'm kind of guessing this 20 y/o wouldn't draw that distinction.
ReplyDeleteCouple of comments:
ReplyDeleteThought Ford was a major pot head and therefore kind of peaceful.
Although maybe if/when HF drinks, he has 'mean' results.
But he sure does seem to fly around in his heli and planes a lot [And I don't mean under the influence] -- Not just for his pleasure but for rescue missions, too.]
Costner was an absolute dog when filming in Dallas and has continued that rep since then [trying to force the masseuse into a 'happy ending'?].
I'd have to go w/Costner between those two although not sure either opens a movie now.
Neither Han Solo nor Indiana Jones would EVER importune a young lady in this manner so it must be Costner.
ReplyDelete(Harrison Ford is in love with me, he just hasn't met me yet)
@packer i am curious about your bruce willis comment. what do you mean?
