Blind Item #8
This A+ list mostly movie actor from some of the biggest movies of all time who everyone thinks is gorgeous has lung cancer after 30+ years smoking. He is hopeful of a full recovery, but friends and family don't think he will live more than another year. He is too far gone.
Not Redford!!

DeleteRedford? Though he didn't age well :(
ReplyDeleteI though Redford too, but he is 76....very rare for someone to start smoking after age 30.
ReplyDeleteIs Harrison Ford still considered "gorgeous"?
Cindy, I always thought that was too much sun. I didn't think Redford was a smoker. Years ago, I think when Havana came out, Elvis Mitchell described Redford as "leather with hair."
ReplyDeleteHe's an early front-runner for Best Actor, though. Probably would have won at Cannes had his film been screened in competition.
I don't even think Ford is handsome, but I think this is him. Sucks.
ReplyDeleteAge-wise, Clooney would fit.
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was Pacino. Not sure about the gorgeous part though! Biggest movies of all time? Quite possibly.
ReplyDeleteHarrison Ford did Star Wars AND Indiana Jones--'Biggest of all time'. I know I don't have to remind y'all of that, but that's why i fear this is him. Also the age--30 years of smoking fits his age range better than RR.
ReplyDeleteYes, HF is known as pretty gorgeous his whole life.
Harrison Ford was my thought.
ReplyDeleteEastwood? Reynolds?
ReplyDeleteSounds like another story derived from the naughty nurse blind from yesterday. I don't remember what kept that dude bedridden though.
I hope Tom Cruise smokes. :( btw Leah Rimini quit Scientilogy according to Page Six sick of all the interrogations and bs
ReplyDeleteHe does, enty commented once on his was breaking his cardinal rule by getting photographed carrying cigarettes... Plus Nicole was the one who paid the paps $1000 to delete pics of her smoking.
DeleteDunno this is him but it's not impossible...
"Once his son" I... I... Don't even know what that original jibberish is...
DeleteDiNiro?
ReplyDeletesandybrook, yeah I read that too! After she asked "Where's Shelley" at a party they put her in the deep box.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for some secrets to be spilled!
That was my excitement!!! She's not known for her discretion so I look forward to some juicy deets
DeleteFord is gorgeous? First news. Handsome at best, as I have seen my whole life reading different magazines. I don't know it first hand as I'm straight and don't care about men beauty, but according to comments from females around, I don't recall HF as "gorgeous".
ReplyDeleteGorgeous were Redford, Clooney, Pitt, Paul Newman...
Your list sounds about right.
DeleteYou are peculiar
DeleteAnd I would like to study you in a Petrie dish. Ease stop talking.
i like the harrison ford guess, but the 30+ years of smoking sounds like someone in their 50's or 60's rather than their 70's.
ReplyDeleteWhat Enty isn't telling you (out of the kindness of his heart), is that this actor is also suffering from psoriasis, warts, and Munchausen by Proxy syndrome. Breaks my heart.
ReplyDeleteDepp smokes :(
ReplyDeleteVery sad for whoever this is, but I just can't have this be my Hubbel!!! I don't know if I will be able to recover when this man goes.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Michael Douglas? Other Men who everyone thinks are gorgeous? George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp? Lets hope it's none of these fine young fellas though either.
I thought of Viggo Mortensen, but not sure if he smokes.
ReplyDeleteDepp started smoking at the age of 12 and he just turned 50.
ReplyDeleteYeah if Leah doesn't mysteriously disappear she has a lot to say. We all may be aiming too old for an answer here a 30+ year smoker can be anything g from 45 up. I bet hes in his early 50s no more than that which is why I'm rooting for Cruise although he looks healthy.
ReplyDeleteI'M RIGHT HERE, LEAH! RESCUE ME!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that she's doing something, FINALLY. I've only been hidden away for six years, but who's counting?
Awwww Shell Bell... He fed you to Xenu years ago. Don't kill me Davey!
DeleteEastwood and Reynolds are good guesses too. I was thinking that it was probably someone in their early 50's too, but the plus sign after 30 could mean 50 or 60 years of smoking...
ReplyDeleteSo sorry guys, but it's who you think it is. This isn't something you make up, exaggerate, or keep secret.
ReplyDeleteSpongebob? Say it's not so...
DeleteDepp was my first thought too...
ReplyDeleteLiam Neeson?
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteand who did we think it was?
ReplyDeletemy first thought was Clooney... NOT MY GEORGIE!
ReplyDeleteNot trying to be a jerk, but what biggest movie of all time was Redford in? I'm totally blanking out.
ReplyDeleteThe Sting
DeleteButch cassidy, the candidate, jeramiah johnson, watergate, sneakers, river runs thru it ordinary oeople- last two directed.
Deleterajahcat, yes, that one.
ReplyDeleteLooking for younger smokers I would add Denzel W., B. Pitt and M. Gibson as guys who might have been considered gorgeous.
ReplyDelete@Z - You should IMDB him because I will miss a ton but The Natural, Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid, The Way we Were, The Sting, All the President's Men
ReplyDeleteThanks for your reply Stacey! But I don't consider those that big, do you?
ReplyDeleteI would consider Star Wars one of the biggest of all time.
Have a great night! ♥
Sorry guys, it's Alan Alda.
ReplyDeleteoh that one
ReplyDeleteZ those old Robert Redford movies were considered blockbusters in their day. He was very bankable.
ReplyDeletePierce Brosnan is a smoker, he was in a few James Bond movies that did well but not sure if they would be considered the biggest of all time.
I would think if someone is in recovery for lung cancer that means they are in remission.
Gorgeous is the clue. Clooney look great at his age my first thought was warren Beaty and Robert Redford. I'm going with Redford.
ReplyDeleteI'm sad to say I also think that it's Harrison Ford for this one. So sad. No one does that gruff poker face like him.
ReplyDeleteEveryone thinks Alan Alda is "gorgeous?" Seriously?
ReplyDeleteAnd isn't he more famous for TV (MASH) than movies though he's done a lot of great movie roles?
Sean Connery.
ReplyDeleteYup, I do agree Snowy Owls (I LOVE owls so much, they are ultra cool!), The Way We Were was huge, but earlier all I could think of was the Sting, even though I always knew him as a big movie star! :)
ReplyDeleteI first thought of Warren Beatty too but he doesn't smoke. He smoked for a few years but that was it for him. Surprising but good for him for not following the crowd back then.
ReplyDeleteNow I know my age, are you kidding me? Redford was A+++++ and his movies were HUGE, both critically and financially. And he was considered GORGEOUS, didn't even pale in the movies with Paul Newman. God I feel old!
ReplyDeleteI never considered Ford gorgeous.
Like rhinovodka - my first thought was Viggo Mortensen - he's in his mid-50's so the age is right, but I'm not sure he would be considered A+.
ReplyDelete. . . and Viggo is a heavy smoker.
ReplyDeleteNice, Amartel, disparage someone's looks when they have cancer. This blog has gotten so mean!
ReplyDeleteI think everyone's too hung up on the 30+ years clue - Enty's not always that accurate with stuff like that. Gorgeous is the key, as is A+ and biggest movies of all time. I'm thinking Redford, or Harrison Ford. But when I think of a gorgeous former A+, I'm leaning towards Redford.
ReplyDeleteBut, hello, Burt Reynolds was considered quite the hunk when he was in his prime. And Smokey and the Bandit? Does it get any bigger than that?
Richard Gere? Gorgeous could be a clue to "Pretty Woman" and he was so beautiful when he was younger.
ReplyDeleteHarrison Ford smokes POT, which I don't think is linked to lung cancer, is it?
ReplyDeleteDK about Redford, but never heard that about him. I know a masseuse who had him as a client and HATED touching his warty, wrinkly back :-p
Sam Elliot- Mask & Roadhouse

ReplyDeletePeter O'Toole - Lawrence of Arabia, Caligula, My Favorite Year, et al. His film list is so long it needs it's own Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_O%27Toole_filmography
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. BIG smoker. My personal fave of his gorgeousness on celluloid: "How to Steal a Million" with Audrey Hepburn.
But the language says "everyone thinks IS gorgeous". Present tense, not past tense. Who's really good looking and 45+? I don't think Beatty, Redford, or Ford could be considered "gorgeous" now. Does Hugh Jackman or Daniel Craig smoke?
ReplyDeleteWow..never thought about Richard Gere....
ReplyDeleteNooo this cannot be Liam or Richard. And Liam IS gorgeous (there is no need for past tenses when it comes to him).
ReplyDeleteI honestly hope this is one of those fake blinds because all of the actors mentioned would be a shame to lose to lung cancer :(
Hi there - long time lurker first time poster. I was thinking Antonio Banderas. He's been looking really unhealthy lately - very skinny and wearing a lot of foundation. Not sure if everyone thinks he's gorgeous but I do! It's very sad whoever it is.
ReplyDeleteEastwood
ReplyDeleteBanderas is a smoker. He was considered gorgeous just a few short years ago.
ReplyDeleteHarrison Ford
ReplyDeleteClooney or Depp would be rough. I think either of them or Harrison. Maybe don't smoke, dudes. Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't fit, but it made me think of Kirk Russell. Years ago a friend of mine was trying to do some tests on him and he kept running off every 5 minutes to have a cigarette. Such a chain smoker.
ReplyDeleteKurt you mean?
DeleteBanderas looks AWFUL right now!
ReplyDeleteNope. It's Alda. All Alda. all the time.
ReplyDeleteWendy Williams said she was surprised Antonio's marriage lasted this long, what with his wife having bad plastic surgery and all. Rude.
ReplyDeleteBut what big movies has Banderas done?
ReplyDeleteI hate to think this is Viggo, not everyone considers him gorgeous? I refuse to believe it's Clooney. I'm leaning towards Depp. Unfortunately. Or maybe HFord.
Harrison Ford
ReplyDeleteMel Gibson. I think he smokes like 2 packs a day.

I saw that list and thought: Oh shit, Keanu??? NOOO!!!
ReplyDeleteRobert Downey Jr, beautiful, A List, biggest movies of all time.

ReplyDeleteTed Danson
ReplyDeleteJohnny Depp would fit - he's done some TV, but "mostly movies"...but then again, so has George Clooney, but Depp does have some of the biggest grossing movies of all time, age wise he fits - i hope it's not him :(
ReplyDeleteJohnny Depp does fit, but is he still gorgeous?
ReplyDeleteor keanu reeves
ReplyDeleteI like Richard Gere for this except that he hasn't been in anything that would be considered one of the biggest hits ever. It gotta be someone older because any of the under 60 group probably would have made tabloids by now.
ReplyDeleteI read this as Brad Pitt but I don't think he's been in some of the biggest movies of all time. Johnny Depp fits better
ReplyDeleteArnold Schwarzenegger FTW.
ReplyDeleteCould be Keeanu. He seems dumb enough to be told he's got cancer, then try BS snake oil treatments until it is too late.
ReplyDeleteI also thought Sean Connery, and it would be somene 50+
ReplyDeleteAgreeing w Count. Keanu has been in China way linger than necessary filming his movie, and maybe his weight gain is corticosteroids? Gah, hope not!
ReplyDeleteI just can't stop thinking it's Bead Pitt...
ReplyDeleteI think it may be Robert Redford and the line "hello gorgeous" ??
ReplyDeleteMost people start smoking in high school around age 15 so it's probably someone in their mid-40s or early 50s. Guess we'll find out next year when we've all forgotten.
ReplyDeleteWasn't Keanu devastated because his sister had cancer? I don't think he'd play around with it.
ReplyDeleteLove all the suggestions, and reminds me of the gorgeous men I've had to dream about these past 30 years! Depp, Keanu, Clooney, Banderas, Brosnan (i'm throwing him in!), Gere, Pitt, Cruise, Jackman. Hey, who's the jerk that left off Russell Crowe?! I'm telling him y'all all left him off and he will be at your house tomorrow to throw a telephone at you!
It's going to be a total mind fuck when one of you is right a year from now. I'm marking it on my calendar right now.
ReplyDeleteBruce Willis. Just cuz he's bald. ;)
ReplyDelete"Hello, gorgeous" is from Funny Girl with Barbara Streisand and...Omar Shariff, an extremely handsome actor.
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was Depp... I've heard stories about him reeking of cigarettes. Maybe that has something to do with why his non-marriage ended? A lot of women won't stick around if a guy wants to keep killing himself (by smoking)?
ReplyDeleteAnd you would be wrong, but kudos for publishing your completely superficial beliefs about relationships.
ReplyDeleteBut Keanu got rid of his lung cancer by going into hell after Rachel Weisz. So he's cured.
ReplyDeleteAntonio Banderas does look bad. He was the puss in boots voice for Shrek, and that plus the sequels were big movies. He also had the Spy Kids series which did well with the kids. Plus Zorro. It could be him. So terrible, whoever it is.
The only real chain smoker forever anyone has mentioned is Mel Gibson.
ReplyDeleteCharlie Sheen: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2263565/Charlie-Sheen-gets-chilling-warning-40-day-habit-appearance-Dr-Oz-television-show.html
ReplyDelete40/day aint nothin, only 2 packs. I'f I was coked out of my mind for weeks at a time, I'd be at 4pks a day. Of course he does spend a ton of time porkin whores, so maybe I would expect him to be at 3pks.
ReplyDeleteNot sure if it's him or if anyone would call him gorgeous, but I've heard stuff about Samuel L. Jackson being bad off lately.
ReplyDeleteOn Charlie Sheen's "Bucket List":
ReplyDelete1) Try to help Brooke get sober (last attempt).
2) Give Denise full custody of my boys, 'cuz Brooke will probably NOT stay sober.
3) Try to remarry Denise, so that we have less Probate issues.
4) If Denise won't marry me again, set up iron-clad Trust, & buy her a new, larger home, so that she can continue taking care of my kids.
5) Engage in random acts of kindness, such as: helping Lindsay Lohan pay off her IRS debt.
6) Fly to Scotland, & party with Nessie... http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2013/07/11/charlie-sheen-reportedly-visits-scotland-searches-for-loch-ness-monster/
The truth is out there, Just "Google" all items on "Bucket List".
The Blind is purposefully, & slightly fudged.
I suspect it's the fat kid from Bad Santa
ReplyDeleteLEONARDO DICAPRIO. Hello!
