Yes, I will confess to it! I like Anthony Hopkins! I was watching him the other day in "Shadowlands" again.Those will be the only words that I will write about him. Well, those and the fact that I love him in "The Lion in Winter"!
I will stop now! Just as long as Niamh doesn't keep coming up with more!!

LW, now I can see them! Yeah! I like them all on this page.....Where did you find that yummy Ken photo? I don't have that exact one; it is a good one of Hamlet; it looks a little fuzzy online...maybe you can send it to me in email instead. I keep files and files of my favorite stars, you know! That is a very cool Jeremy photo - both yours and Niamh's. Niamh you are coming up with some good ones, too and to my liking, taste.
Wow, this thread sure is entertaining!
LW, no rush on the note reply.

I was looking through all of these pages again tonight, and yes, I have always desired this man since Maroon 5 first came around!Adam Levine lead singer of maroon 5
Now, if you look carefully over the pictures that I have posted, you will notice that most of them have something in common. They are "dark". So, do you think I would find Antonio appealing?
Antonio?
Well, I am glad that you could see all of them now! Am I crazy or what?
why Niamh?You did this purposely, didn't you??
Yes, I will confess to it! I like Anthony Hopkins! I was watching him the other day in "Shadowlands" again.

found one where he looks a bit wasted, but at least you can see his blue eyes
edit: young Tony. another proof that good looking men need to ripen over time

I've got a question about make-up in films and series.
do they put make-up (eye liner, eye shadow, mascara) on men in movies nowadays? I know it was common in the 50s-60. In Star Trek, both Kirk and McCoy wear eyeliner and eyeshadow. in one episode, Kirk's got more eyeliner on than an average woman and it looks really camp, but most of the time it's pretty subtle and looks awesome (as far as Kirk can look awesome). As for McCoy, he's got blueish eyeshadow and in some Western series where DeForest Kelley played an evil guy, they even put lots of purplish eyeshadow on him and made his eyes up like those of a woman. (I only read about this one).
Do they do that today at all (I don't mean the orange stuff they smear on their faces)?
If they don't, I demand the re-introduction of eye make-up for male actors
Who's with me?
Hi Sleepywitch, interesting post, since I wonder the same thing many times. I am sure they all wear some eye makeup/face makeup on stage or while being filmed (especially nowdays with HD DVD's - yikes one can see every pore on their faces. I would hate to be an actor nowdays.I've got a question about make-up in films and series.

This question interests me particularly, since in the Kenneth Branagh's film called "How to Kill Your Neighbor's Dog", his wife Melanie comments to Peter, in one very amusing scene, "I wonder what the world would be like, if men wore makeup?"
Well, her is Kenneth Branagh applying his mascara before shooting "Much Ado About Nothing"....
I also noticed in Ken Branagh's acclaimed film "Henry V" he has very prominient mascara and eye makeup on during his court scenes but then later in the film they seem to have dropped that notion and he has much lighter lashes and looks more natural, even when woeing Katherine in the last scenes. Funny, don't you think? I guess all that rain in England and the film washed the mascara off!
Here are some more yummy pictures of my favorite actor, not only for his physical attributes do I love the man, but for his brains, sense of humor and talent, just to mention a few things........oh did I mention his dreamy light blue eyes?
Note: all the different hair colors, too....so what is his natural color?

thanks Janine, I'll pay more attention next time I watch this filmI also noticed in Ken Branagh's acclaimed film "Henry V" he has very prominient mascara and eye makeup on during his court scenes but then later in the film they seem to have dropped that notion and he has much lighter lashes and looks more natural, even when woeing Katherine in the last scenes.

Sleepwitch, Oh good, check it out and let me know what you think.thanks Janine, I'll pay more attention next time I watch this film
I own the film, "Henry V" and I watch it all the time, being a big fan and I feel this is Branagh's #1 best film; although I watch his fine "Hamlet" a lot, also, and can forgive him for any flaws in that film. I feel "Henry V" is flawless though - great film!
I wondered why, in that film, the mascara was so prominent; actually, the eye makeup in the court scene, except Henry was in a dimly lighted room (torches and candles) and of course, Branagh did a lot of stage, so he definitely was used to wearing the makeup - one has to for stage. That court scene is dramatic and his eyes are very prominent. Hey, maybe Kings wore mascara at court?
I read Branagh's autobiograpy and there was a really funny part about how he said he was always rather bad at applying his own mascara. It must truly be funny for male actors to do so. I will have to dig up a photo from his film "Peter's Friends" because the first scene all the men are in drag and they have tons of makeup on - they look so bizzare and ridiculous! I hope I can find the photo.
Sleepwitch, glad you brought up this question and topic....it is fun!

Except Gregory Peck,whose biographys SEEM to indicate he was a great man in prvate life as well as professional, I cannot imagine looking up to just about any one in Hollywood or the theatre. And what a person has a crush on to me is the smoke and mirrors, the illusions that the person creates, not the real person at all.So, for me that is no more logical than having a crush on Peter Pan or say Bugs Bunny. The actors are just playing a part, drawing you into their make believe world. Therefore unless you know the person personally and from that basis really admire someone I don't see how it is possible.
But that is just me.
However I do like some of their work, but that is like appreciating someone's violin playing at the symphony or the excellence of the cashier at the market. It is not them but something they are doing as their job.

Well, Jane Jane, I think you might be taking this thread a little too seriously. I think you should lighten up and see it as just a fun thing and no one is truly 'in-love' or serious about these actors/screen stars. We can all fawn over their looks, or admire them physically; we all know it is just a fantasy thing and an escape temporarily from real life. As far as my love of Kenneth Branagh, it springs less from my emersion in his various roles and is more based on my admiration of the man and his work, achievements. I read his early autobiography and I found it 'honest' and really so interesting, I could not put the book down. Basically it was about how an actor would go about breaking into the world of stage and films. Also, how they would proceed to drama school to begin with and it sort of took me back to my own college day in art school. He spoke fondly of his family, his parents, grandparents and his siblings, that made me only admired the man more so for his personality, close family ties and his fine achievements and then potential. These actors are 'real' people and I think we all know this, unless we have our heads in the sand or are obsessed celebrity stalkers.
I continue to watch all the actors I like and admire, and see how they progress in their craft. I can only feel great regard to all of them, since I can't even fathom standing in front of an audience, let alone being filmed up close, in high definition, showing my every flaw and nuance of expression.
What is the harm of appreciating someones violin playing? or admiring that someone does a great job as a cashier at the market? I really do not understand this last statement of yours. If they play finely it is 'them' - it comes from their soul and their true essence of being; and if they work at their capacity and do a fine job - again it is the core of the person. I would rather admire them for their work, that which does make up their passion in life. Actors obviously do have this passion that drives them to perform and be what they were intended to be in life. We all have a calling.However I do like some of their work, but that is like appreciating someone's violin playing at the symphony or the excellence of the cashier at the market. It is not them but something they are doing as their job.
