Today's Blind Items- He Kept Her Prisoner

I love this actor. Well, I love his work. No one actually loves him as a person, except for himself. He loves himself. He thinks the whole world should bow down to him because he loves himself that much. He thinks he is the biggest star in the world and believes that he is the best actor in the world when he is actually lucky to find work. The guy turned down a $10M paycheck for a sequel because he thought he was too good for it. What did he do instead? Nothing because no one wants to work with him. He has been in some of the most iconic movies of all-time. Yes, iconic. Some of them were small parts, but he has been in them. He has been the lead in a few of them too. It was not that long ago that his actress girlfriend finally managed to free herself from him. It was not that she broke free, but rather he thought he could do better and forced the actress to leave after damaging her for almost a decade. They were not married but they might as well have been. When she went into the relationship she was about A list. A certain genre for sure, but she could get leads in others besides the genre. He was close to A+ list when they started dating. Immediately he controlled her and told her what she could do and what she couldn't. She saw her career nose dive because she could never work in something bigger than what he was working in and his career started to go down so he pushed her down even faster and further. Forget going out. She was in the house or with him. No exceptions. She went from a vibrant sexy woman to a shell who was scared of her own shadow. To see her now and starting to live again is amazing. She will never be the same after a decade of verbal abuse and threats and just making her feel like she was worthless. He would do it in private and in public. In public he would do it with that quirky little smile and make it seem like she was an idiot or a klutz and then really take it out on her at home. She was terrified of him and terrified of leaving and he had her convinced that she was ugly and that is why she was not getting parts. The thing is when he broke up with her because he liked some 18 year old she begged to stay and begged to be with him. That is how much he brainwashed her.

    I know this isn't Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes but the shoe could certainly fit so maybe something similar?

    Matt LeBlanc and his longterm girlfriend recently broke up. He would have been A+ (Friends) when they started dating. But I don't see the iconic movie roles part fitting.

    The John Cusack guess is pretty good @snookiemonster. I can see him turning down Hot Tub Time Machine 2, but he was only with Neve five years. But Enty never is great on getting details correct.

    John Cusack and Neve Campbell totally fit this. They fit the ratings back then, her genre being teen horror, he fits the rating now of a former A/A+ lister who does not find real work by comparison. He has been in iconic movies, both bit and lead parts, and he is known as a douche.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Tricia132:53 AM

    @BA I read it as A+ when they got together. MLP/Crudup got together around 1996 and he was coming off woody Allen's "everyone says I love You/ Sleepers(which was a big movie) / inventing the Abbots(lead).
    If Ryan Reynolds is current A+ now here!!I can grasp Crudup being so late 90s/ 2000. He is a massive talent. And yes, an absolute p- ---:(

    ReplyDelete
  31. oogabooga2:53 AM

    I think Derek Harvey may have gotten it!! Pesci has been in loads of iconic movies - some as the headliner, some as as supporting actor. He was with Angie Everhart for 8 years.

    I don't know about Pesci behind closed doors but he doesn't have a rep as a douche or as someone people don't want to work with in general.

    Is Ed Norton possible? He fits the douche no one wants to work with and the big/small/some iconic roles thing. I don't know if he's a prick with women and I have no idea if he has a long-term girlfriend he abused before he got married. I don't think he's been married that long.

    Oh, and while I'm tossing Norton into the fray - I love the Cusack guess. He's totally a douche to work with and a prick with women. Uber-douche Jeremy Piven used to be his wingman.

    Norton fits in terms of his - control issues , but he never turned down a huge sequel to my knowledge, and nobody put baby Selma in a corner.I saw them in action- no way no how.

    Together for a decade but not married. That eliminates Antonio and Melanie and Mickey and Carrie. Didn't Jack and Anjelica end it ages ago?

    Burton and Helena weren't married but he's not an actor. Depp and Vanessa but does she act? I'd think his new marriage would be mentioned as well.

    This is so specific it should be easy but I can't think of anyone.
