Harry Potter Star Alan Rickman Emerges as Unlikely Movie Crush

[graywarrior]

LONDON, UK--(Marketwire - July 24, 2009) -
Editors Note: There is a photo associated with this press release.
Women love to share, especially when it comes to secret movie crushes! So with the summer blockbuster season well under way, Breezer invited the nation's women to anonymously reveal the unlikely movie stars they would most like to get fruity with!

The cast of unusual suspects includes some eyebrow-raising stars that reveal more about the tastes of British women than we would have ever imagined. Harry Potter villain Professor Snape, Darth Vader and even Lex Luthor are just some of the characters who set women's pulses racing! Rising comedy star Seth Rogen is the movie geek women would most like to get super bad with, whilst British star Simon Pegg also makes the top five secret movie crushes.

Top psychologist Jenni Trent Hughes suggests the results are an indication of the current climate: "It's no big surprise in these turbulent times women have decided that cute and cuddly has more appeal than hard and handsome. When things get tough we all tend to look for 'safe', 'reliable', 'comforting' - in everything from the kinds of cars that we buy to the kinds of boys that we like. Slow and steady wins the day. There is still a longing for strong silent types who can protect us but even he will now be more accessible - think Kevin Spacey rather than Brad Pitt. Yes there will always be room for the bold and the beautiful but nowadays comfort and security wins over flash, trash and cash!"

The top ten are:
1. Seth Rogen
2. Tom Hanks
3. Kevin Spacey
4. Alan Rickman
5. Simon Pegg
6. Darth Vader
7. Michael Cera
8. Alec Baldwin
9. Will Ferrell
10. Dustin Hoffman

1. Huh? "get fruity with" Darth Vader? He's got a vegetable slicer over his mouth.

Seth Rogen? Ewww.

[graywarrior]

2. Who is Seth Rogen?

Get fruity sounds juicy.

[peekaloo]

3. what passes for a "comedy" star

okay it may be just me but he reminds me of a hygienically challenged friend of mine (looks-wise). Not Juicy fruity material.

[graywarrior]

6. Not appealing in my book, but what do I know?

[Jade Fox]

25. Yeah, him as number one makes me doubt......

this list.

Rogan makes my skin crawl.

[graywarrior]

27. I doubt the list til I get to Rickman's name.

[SoxFan]

4. Late to the party

Mrs. SoxFan has had a Rickman crush since 2001. She swooned when she met him in NYC.

he now shares top billing with her Sweet Bald Baboo, Terry O'Quinn.

[graywarrior]

5. graywarrior has loved him since she was born

[RoyGBiv]

28. No kidding ...

I'm reading this thing, thinking, "Where have they been!?"

Rickman is surprising? Really?

[Captain Hilts]

7. How were they 'invited' to do so? Were they called? Did they have to volunteer? To write in? nt

[ismnotwasm]

8. "get fruity with"?

I must be getting old. I hear that and I think of chewing gum, not eye candy.

[_dynamicdems]

9. Nevermind the times. I've always preferred Kevin Spacey to Brad Pitt.

;)

[bridgit]

10. Seth Rogen #1 -- !?!?! -- Good God!! Who compiled that fucking thing

:wtf: ----------------> :rofl:

[graywarrior]

11. Not me!

Alan would have been #1 followed by Darth Vader. Who wouldn't want to get fruity with that guy.

[bridgit]

14. Sure, I admit it's a core-character aspect but I'd *rather* have drinks with Vader...

then smoke a hastily rolled doo'b with Seth Rogen; no offense Seth, but honey we need to pump up your 'man of interest' component :)

[graywarrior]

18. Seth is good is using the word "dude" 12 times in a sentence gets you hot

Not that I know anything about him.

[XemaSab]

12. Not to mention Alec Baldwin

What is it, 1988? :shrug:

[bridgit]

16. Girl I'm completely serious! I haven't been into Baldwin since Beetlejuice if ever...

I'd mess with Simon Pegg long before having to deal with the Baldwin Boys :thumbsdown:

[EndersDame]

13. I gotta admit Seth Rogen is kinda hot! It is more about his personalityy

than how he looks. He seems like a nice caring guy and he is a nerd (major plus in my book.) He is the type of guys women would fantasize being in a relationship with rather than a hot steamy one. Don't underestimate dorky charm

[Haole Girl]

15. I'm confused

This is not what I call "cute & cuddly."



:crazy:

[_dynamicdems]

17. Perhaps not cute, but he has a certain "je ne se qua" about him. n/t

[XemaSab]

19. If you had studied legilimency you would understand his appeal

Since you have not studied legilimency, it will have to remain a mystery to you.

[Haole Girl]

20. Admit it. Usually characters who are "cute and cuddly" are not named...

Snake.

:rofl:

edit: Is it Snape or Snake? I admit it, I'm confused.

[XemaSab]

23. Severus Snape

:D

[bridgit]

21. Every culture has their own, but many women respond to the Lord Byron-esque persona

Granted, there can be a certain & specific work product called forth but there it is http://www.todayinliterature.com/stories.asp?Event_Date=6/19/1816

[_dynamicdems]

22. John Keats-esque too. Just sayin' n/t

[keroro gunsou]

51. far from "cute and cuddlely"

but you know you'd want him watching your six in a magical firefight... so long as you know what side he's on.... :evilgrin:

[WolverineDG]

52. Oh honey, do yourself a favor & rent Robin Hood Prince of Thieves

You'll thank me later.

dg

[dana_b]

24. yes on #2, 4 and 5

"no" on the rest for me.

[Demoiselle]

26. Baldwin, Spacey, and yes yes Rickman.

I like a little seasoning in my men.

[Xipe Totec]

29. What about Charles Bronson?

:hide:

[dixiegrrrrl]

30. ok, I will admit it. Back in the day. Brown eyes, muscles.

Self contained.
What I can't understand is how Jeff Goldblum went from hot, in Buckeroo Bonzai,
to repulsive...it must have been the Fly that turned me off. Saw him on Colbert and he is looking like Dorian Gray.

Mr. D. will win a James Garner look alike contest, btw.
Under that beard, I am sure of it.

You may all swoon with envy now.

[Xipe Totec]

31. Us Mexicans are judged on the 3F scale

1.- Feo (Ugly)
2.- Fuerte (strong)
3.- Formal (Ready for Commitment)

:evilgrin:

[dixiegrrrrl]

34. Be still , my heart.

:loveya:

[graywarrior]

35. Er, I wouldn't say that at all

Gael García Bernal



Diego Luna

[Xipe Totec]

37. Ignacio Lopez Tarso

Anthony Quinn



Rudolph Valentino



Okay, maybe not Rudolph...

[graywarrior]

32. He's stiff, that's for sure.

[Xipe Totec]

33. Where it counts?

:yoiks:

[graywarrior]

36. Depends what your fetish is and if you have a shovel.

[Xipe Totec]

38. If I had a shovel, I'd be piling more dirt on, not less...

[graywarrior]

40. No one ever brings up David Niven

He could use some attention.

[Xipe Totec]

41. I'll get a shovel

and make sure he doesn't come out either.

[Moondog]

42. Heh.

:applause:

[graywarrior]

44. Hope you don't include Cary Grant.

[Xipe Totec]

45. Damn!

I'm going to get a workout...

[graywarrior]

46. .

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[tigereye]

53. ha ha !

:rofl: good one, XT

[Arugula Latte]

39. So many Americans on the list ... Don't they like those fabulous British "accents"?

Well, accents to us, at least.

[merh]

43. Rickman has nothing on Yul Brenner

okay, he is alive and all that, but he is not as hot as Brenner was.

THIS IS exotic gorgeous.




And at this link you can find him in his birthday suit.

:smoke:

[graywarrior]

47. No, Yule has nothing on his head.

[merh]

48. Both of them in that second photo

:rofl:

Rickman is alright, but his hair looks greasy to me - bald is better than greasy looking, imho.

[Love Bug]

58. The Snape hair is a wig and it's supposed to look greasy

Rickman is not conventially handsome but he has a sensual manner and a seductive voice. Yul was hot, too.

[merh]

60. oh, I know, I was just picking at graywarrior

cause she doesn't like the bald man, Yul.

Rickman is hot, Brenner was hotter.

[Xipe Totec]

49. What about Rick Wakeman?

[graywarrior]

50. Don't confuse me

[Jennicut]

54. Tom Hanks AND Alan Rickman?! Two of my favorites.

I love the British.

[latebloomer]

55. Will Ferrell but no Johnny Depp?

These women are on drugs!

[Digit]

56. Of that list, I prefer Alan Rickman

I found a great site with lots and lots of pics.
http://www.nd.edu/~tchapman/alanrickman.html
There was someone on DU that had posted a link to a youtube of him dancing and that was the first time I considered him sexy...and the video WAS very sexy.

Of course Johnny Depp ranks right up there.
