My heterosexual man-crush

After a conversation with Danny one day, we were talking about Die Hard 4. I really enjoyed it but he was talking like it was a groundbreaking movie that was on a par with an original. As our geeky conversation continued he explained his love for the film partly on "his heterosexual man crush on bruce willis"

I was left confused but he explained. This got me thinking who my heterosexual man crush could be. Danny told me that footballers did not count otherwise he would have about 20. He also told me that you had to also genuinely like what a mjority of people thought was rubbish.
He made sense as Danny did find The whole nine yards and the whole ten yards funny. He also thought Hudson hawk was a clever film when it was annoying to the rest of us.

So we then had a conversation about if i had a heterosexual man crush. He said it was hard to find one, but who, of many would it be. So by playing the game by Danny's rules these would be some candidtates (his word, not mine)

Johnny Depp
I don't think this could be mine because despite owning most of his films, having a doll, two posters and paying to see any film he is in, his films are never bad and i think he's too good looking to work and too obvious as a choice.

Ben Affleck
Again, i don't think he can be because i know he's made terrible films (Gigli, pearl harbour, that one with the paltrow) however he has made films i think are great that some people don't (Armageddon, Surviving christmas, Jersey girl) So it's probably not affleck.

Marky Mark
Possibly but doubtful. I really like his films, i can't think of one that i hate(although i wasn't too keen on four brothers) I'm also a bit of a fan of the funky bunch, which i don't think anybody likes. I think it can't be marky mark though due to the fact the guy has proven he can act.

Tom Cruise
At the moment he is underrated. The guy played one of the coolest teenagers in history, joel goodsen (risky business), was the king of the sky as maverick (top gun), played a likable slimey guy (a few good men) Was robbed of an oscar (jerry maguire) was the only good thing in magnolia and made ethan hunt cool (mission impossible). Danny said he can't be my heterosexual man crush though because despite that rant, i do think he is a bit of a twat.

Bill Murray
The funniest guy to ever be on screen. He's funny in anything and much better than Steve Martin at that subtle comedy. Life aquatic is an underrated gem, lost in translation deserved all the accolades and stripes has some of the funniest lines of all time. However, it can't be the murray because not even he can save charlies angels and garfield isn't very good .

We then turned our attention to music but danny said i'm more obsessed with bands so they are automatically disqualified.

So we had two conclusions.

Danny's Conclusion - "When you can say the sentence 'i own a johnny depp doll' i think you know who your hetero sexual man crush is."

My conclusion - Using Danny's logic this list was a lot longer which is quite a worry. Overall, it got me on to my second blog of the day and i think could be slightly amusing due to the fact of how sad i come off in this.

My warmest regards
