So my girlfriend sends me this link about what your celebrity crush says about you. I promptly reminded her that this is why I refuse to take her seriously, but then I was instantly reminded of a conversation I had with 4 football players about 2 years ago at 2:30 in the morning. I won’t be mentioning names because unlike me they still have careers and futures free of Google search ahead of them.
So there we were, several soda-pop’s deep, talking about the greatest action movies of all time. Of course anything with Stallone was a shoe in, but Predator was my go-to as I gave my deepest and best Arnold, “I see that desk job has made you weak!” Then it was on to the virtues of Arnold versus Stallone versus VanDamm etc, etc. Finally I dropped another bombshell, “I’m sorry, but for my money it doesn’t get any better than Harrison Ford, call it what you want but he may very well be my man crush”
There was an awkward silence hanging in the air, a long pause, followed by one of my teammates offering. “Harrison Ford does have the silver-fox thing going for him, but if we are talking on screen acting prowess and sex appeal, then Jonny Depp is my man crush”
Without missing a beat, another friend chimed in with “Depp? Please, Orlando Bloom has such soulful eyes”
For a brief momemnt we all exhaled and pondered just what Orlando Bloom’s eyes meant to us. Yup, soulful. You got it.
The conversation continued for another 10 minutes, debating the merrits of Ryan Gosling (no one plays southern charm like Gosling, and I mean no one). We all passed out as visions of hearthrobs danced in our heads.
We never spoke of it again.
Take away message:
Next time we think about brusing off celebrity gossip or our girlfriend’s insistance that “Speidi” is headed for trouble again, think about that voice whispering deep in your soul, “Harrison Ford is a silver fox”
im not ashamed, johnny depp IS my man crush
