Title: male celebrities you look up to?
Post by: Kerberos on July 24, 2011, 10:38:01 PM
For fun: Does anyone have any male actors/celebrities/etc who they wish they looked like physically?

Mine used to be Morrissey for a long time, now it's Leonardo DiCaprio (mostly his role in The Departed).

I can't think of anyone in particular, but I have played around with that my heritage celebrity look alike generator thing and wondered if I will look like any of them after I start T. The last time I tried it my top hit was Tony Soprano. And at the rate I'm gaining weight all I need to do is bald.

No way lee, you are already so attractive as is! =)

I always thought that if I went back to being a guy that I would go for sorta a feminine version of a Johnny Depp look, although he already looks pretty feminine in my opinion.  Ideally if I went back to being a guy I would want to look like Daniel Johns, he's been my crush for so many years

In terms of looks, I think Trent Reznor is one good-looking dude. But I could do without his personality. In terms of personality on the other hand, I've always looked up to George Carlin.  I don't think it'd hurt to have the brains and bank account of Bill Gates with the networking capabilities of Mark Zuckerberg too...haha

My number 1 would be John Barrowman because he is a great total package.... looks good and has a great personality. I figure since he is 4 years older then me, I have 4 years between T, working out and diet to look half as good as him.

I don't know where they are now, but a freind of mine from high school and his younger brother grew up to look 100% exactly like MacCauley & Kieran Culkin. Like you would swear that's who they were.

milo ventimiglia, ryan reynolds, alex petteyfer, elijah wood, and hate to admit it but nick jonas he is really good looking. a more realistic aspiration thats.... still not so realistic is to have a beard like this guy, whos name is escaping me.

David Bowie, Andrej Pejic (although his gender is rather ambiguous)

OMG Andrej Pejic is my new standard of beauty...

Although David Chiang is a close second.

QuoteTom Felton.

Met him at SupaNova here in Aus, he was so lovely! I swear, he swept the whole convention off their feet, the men included. ;)

There are a lot of them, but none of the ones I wish I looked like look anything like me in terms of things like eye colour, facial structure, and so on, so I try and avoid thinking about it as it just frustrates me. I do try and find male celebs who look a bit like me that I do like, to use as inspiration, but it's hard because I don't really like my looks that much... and nobody ever seems to think I look like anyone  ???


anibioman: That beardy guy is Philip Crangi.

Restrain the (not entirely unfounded) urge to burst out laughing, lol, but for me, it was always British comedians :laugh:

There was the phase when I longed to be Michael Palin (I went through most of the Pythons, actually, apart from John Cleese, against whom I developed an inexplicable and unjust prejudice).

Then in my early teens I desperately wanted to look like (and I suppose really just to be) Peter Cook, lol.  That's actually where my username comes from - my sister and I would act out Peter Cook and Dudley Moore Derek and Clive sketches - she would be Derek, I would be Clive.  I'm fairly certain she wasn't getting the same kick out of it that I was, though, lol!

And from childhood onwards, I've always wanted to be (stop it now, stop it, stop it - I can see that look on your faces, but it's true) Stephen Fry ???

I read his autobiography, 'Moab is my Washpot,' at about eleven (it was my Mum's copy, and I appropriated it and read it so many times and in so many varied, unusual and perilous locations that eventually it fell to bits) and there was this picture of him on the front cover lying on his stomach with his legs crossed behind him in the air...

(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1126.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fl608%2Fmcroft41%2Fmoab_is_my_washpot.jpg&hash=e36ce0af50b004b69e5f2d321794c30dd5506064)

...and I used to take great pleasure in imagining that was me - I would even, on special occasions, read the book in that same posture, just to enhance the experience.

The wonderful thing is, that whilst I can only dream of achieving his intellectual prowess, I don't think I'd have to try too hard to look like him...  I've certainly unintentionally (or perhaps subconsciously) perfected the hair :P

Oh please, please Sir, can Moab be my washpot too? ;)

To be honest, I wish I looked like how Brad Pitt did in Interview With The Vampire. Incredibly jealous of those looks..
