Man Crush Mondays

JURASSIC MY MAN CRUSH WORLD

Here we are for another Man Crush Monday

Bare with me as I gather my groups of leading men that catch my attention. Not every Monday can I give the throne to a hunk with three legs and muscles, but when I find the right one, this is where they’ll be. Though, on this occasion, I’ve killed three birds with one stone and I’d like to take a bite out of all three.

Earlier last month, the hit film Jurassic World took over the theaters with yet another thrill of meat eating, intelligent  and ferocious dinosaurs. It’s been years since the last edition of the Jurassic Park series, twenty-two to be exact, has scared the crap out of us in having our imaginations run us wild with thinking eyes could possibly be lurking behind a bush or a tree. There’s even times when I do a “what if” account when driving through the Hollywood Hills or Malibu coast and the trees start ruffling,  which is why I carry a pair of running shoes if the impossible just became possible.

Normally, with each story, we base our ticket purchase with the fact that the incredible Steven Spielberg, takes these lizard beast to the next level of nightmares for all ages. We don’t typically go for the actors even though they are a part of the film, but it’s these yellow eyed infamous creatures, though not all, that make up the film. This time around, it’s all about the male cast.

Chris Pratt, Nick Robinson and Omar Sy.

These three handsome gentleman… okay, lets just say it. Sexy eye candy, had my eyes playing a ping pong match on the screen in between watching the horror and being on cloud 9. All three of them equally tugged at my heart, but for different reasons and so, I named them my Man Crush Mondays.

Lets start with my first pick though not in that exact order. Omar Sy.

Now, for the few that know me and my types of men, this might be a rare pick, but I like a little mystery and to always keep people on edge and guessing.

Psychological mind power

In the film, Omar had this cool, manly and charming energy about him with an accent to match. As a french native, like my other man crush, Gaspard Ulliel , you can’t help but to squint a bit when the accent is spoken, but all the more he’s a mans man. Just like his co-star Chris Pratt, he played quite the bad ass while riding with the velociraptors and the best part is he survived the film. Noted for his acting chops in the praised 2012 film, The Intouchables, and being the first African Frenchman to win an award, I’ll be honest in saying that I’m not all that familiar with any of his work other than this movie.

I will say though, that he has impeccable smooth creamy skin and teeth will capture the attention of many women past his acting credibility. Wow he is one gorgeous man.

My second Jurassic stud goes to the handsome and mysteriously intriguing Nick Robinson.

While Nick might appear to be your average teen heart throb from your favorite Nickelodeon or Disney television show, guess what tweeny boppers? He’s over the legal age and soon enough will continue maturing into yet another gorgeous silver screen leading man. So without further discussion of popping so many bubbles

There we go.
I had to do some deep searching to find a photo that I wouldn’t feel guilty in looking at

Okay, so he looks a little more dirty than I would like, but we’ll just create our own imaginary scenario. Nick is another male lead that I’m not all that familiar with, but in the film I couldn’t help but to continue my curiosity of him. His intense stares and confident demeanor, is exactly what peaked my interest. Not to mention he has what I call Bubble lips or Nibble lips just like another one of my Man crushes Michael Pitt.

Nibble Lips: lips that you’d rather nibble and bite than kiss

After doing a little scooping, I found him even more enticing,  which clearly is the reason for his fan base due to the hilarious comments being made which even made me feel a little uncomfortable.

I also realized that he has a lot of similarities to two other bedroom eyed actors Bobby Campo from Legally Blond and Final Destination, and Erik Palladino from ER and other credits.

Just remember though, there is a bit of an age gap between these three, and coincidentally it’s in order of 20’s, 30’s and 40’s. So, if all goes well Nick will do just fine with age and maturity. Fine like wine that is.

Lastly, drum roll please

The man of my hour, minute and every second of the day. Chris Pratt. He is as, I like to say quite often, Everything! So with that said, lets get this ball rolling.

Chris has captured the hearts of many, both for his looks and his personality.  I’m not a fan of the comedian types, but he did win my heart with a few too many laughs in the film Guardians of the Galaxy. While most girls are drawn to a man that can make them laugh, I’m still waiting for the punch line in their ridiculous jokes.

Guardians of the Galaxy, was a movie I was interested in seeing, and even after hearing all the rave reviews, it took me a year to watch it. Never did I think it would be one of my favorite movies oddly paired with my Psycho thrillers, Biopics, Horror, and dark films. Of course Chris added to the film not just for his comedic timing, but his muscular toned legs, ripped abs and his good looks. To think that he was twice his size from being an obnoxious goof fall to a godly man, really isn’t all that surprising to me. In fact, during my late teenage years I had a fling with a meaty baseball player that shared the same image.

I like what I like, even if it’s for the moment.

Would I have looked at him the same way? No, but I’m looking at him now and I am loving what I see. If I’m not mistaken,  he looks to be a red head and I do have a small thing for minimal red strands. In Jurassic World, this will be his now third biggest hit on the silver screen in a short ride to stardom even though he’s been around for quite a long time. After reading his bio, there were a couple of personal traits that we share in common that also made me have a fondness for him as a person. His role in Jurassic World was absolutely breath taking without exaggeration.

I was really inhaling and exhaling every time I stared at his manly thighs, height and face just imagining me wrestling him in a steamy scene of biting and hair pulling. I would be the blue raptor to his Owen.

It’s a wonder though that Chris has me getting this antsy when I use to be friends with his now supposed duplicate and doppelganger, known for his matching looks and sex appeal.

Ready for a flashback?

Flashback!

Six years ago, I attended an event with several of my former friends up in the Hollywood hills for a charitable cause. The coral reef. The social gathering was held at the house of actress Anna Faris, known for her hilarious roles in the Scary Movies series. She’s also Chris Pratts wife, which at that time, they might have just met and married. She held her event in a beautiful elongated one story family sized home. Right as you walked into the house, you could feel the elaborated details of someone who took great pride in not only their work, but what they also contributed from the means of their wealth.

Trays of food were being passed around and guest mingled. Considering the idea of the event, I chose to wear the perfect dress that reflected the idea of the ocean and all of its nature in the deep blue sea. Outside, near the pool hall with an open bar, people gathered in contributions to donating to this personal cause, while I was in utter bliss that I was actually in the home of an actress that I grew fond of through her work that seemed so unlikely.

This guy at the top was noted for being the “poor mans Chris Pratt”

The more and more I think about it, It becomes pretty mind boggling to say the least.

Then, I was a care free spirit , naive to many, and very little seemed to phase me. Sure I had my selection of those I admired in the industry, but for the most part and majority of my life, that was just the norm to me. I reluctantly felt the need to ignore seizing every and any opportunity which at the disappointment of others, made me a bit of a social mockery. See this guy up there? That was my friend and then aspiring actor, Derek Theler, who at the time was one of the most genuine and humble guys I ever knew. Then, I would’ve never had guessed he’d be where he is now. He was never your typical actor who arrogantly praised themselves for every tid bit thing they did whether it be a commercial, a walk on role or even rubbing elbows with the celebrities that commonly surrounded us.

I just knew him to be one of the tallest guys in our inner circle with a bit of a southern accent and a guy who had a thing for blondes. He was nothing like the other guys. Actually, he was better. I never liked him in that way, but I admired him greatly for being so composed and loyal to his “best friend” opportunist and celebrity wrangler, who I felt under appreciated him which in turn created a falling out that till this day has never been explained. I’ll never forget the day he came to me so lost and confused and I for once had no words or an explanation of the sudden change in heart. Shortly after, I was on the chopping block for reasons I will never know and I’ve never looked back.

“Telephone is a popular game where you say one thing and by the time it’s repeated back to you, it’s unrecognizable”.

It was for the better, and I ended up running into Derek years later at the W Hotel, after his accomplishments on the hit show, Baby’s Daddy, as Danny Wheeler. Naturally, the Hollywood bug bit him and surprisingly he was glorified by the same person who once shunned him. To be honest, if I get bitten, I’ll probably go into a coma mode and forget I even knew half the people that ever turned their backs on me. Forget acceptance ….

Now that Chris has made his mark as one of the most charismatic and accomplished actors in such a short amount of time, I hope that he exceeds all expectations that I’m sure this industry and his fans will lay upon him. The admiration I carry for him is not just of his handsome features,  but also  that he just seems like a down to earth simple nice guy. Anna Faris made sure to snag him before his fame grew to the point of no return and I have no question without a doubt that with their bond, he will continue living an endless successful and humble life.

As well for the other two, I’ll be looking for you on more red carpets and if I’m lucky, an event.
