Thanks for the new thread Jess

*PassionateJ* · 11-14-2010, 08:01 PM

No prob

I had to take out all the images...b/c they weren't showing up anymore

We need to revamp this OP a bit

‘ChelsღChina · 11-18-2010, 03:00 AM

Yeah I'd say so

Street Spirit · 11-18-2010, 06:53 AM

Thanks for the new thread! I'm looking at the filmography list and Leo's been in some great movies.

PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive: Who Could Be Next? : People.com

Quote:

SMA '07: MATT
SEXY-IN-WAITING: LEO

Taking over where Matt Damon's Jason Bourne left off, baby-faced star Leonardo DiCaprio has solidified his status as Hollywood's sexiest "thinking man" with intense roles in The Departed, Revolutionary Road and this summer's blockbuster Inception.

Side note I can't believe Leo never got Sexiest Man Alive

FAIL on People Mag

Ok, that is just shocking to me! I thought he had gotten it once before, like a long time ago, but I had no idea that he'd never gotten it. Well, now I know there is something seriously wrong with the people running that magazine and feel betrayed by their inability to see clearly. Leo is the epitome of sexy.

They picked Ryan Reynolds this year, who I do think is sexy, but NOT sexier than Leo. And, with both Inception and Shutter Island, this should have been Leo's year. What has Ryan done to deserve this kind of accolade this year? And, not to take anything from Ryan, since I very much enjoy watching his movies, but he is not the same caliber of actor as Leo. Talent is a part of the sexy, after all. Ok, my rant is over now....

‘ChelsღChina · 11-18-2010, 01:05 PM

Ryan Reynolds was this year's sexiest man alive? I did not know that

NandM9906 · 11-19-2010, 02:58 AM

Personally, I think Leo would want to die if he was picked as Sexiest Man Alive.

Now, I'd love to see it. But...I don't think it's his ~scene~. But wateva. Ryan Reynolds is aight - but the dude's movies are meh. I saw the trailer for the green whatever superhero movie and it looked dumbish imo. Ha.

CaptainCole · 11-19-2010, 07:25 AM

I love the thread title. I would love to see him do a comedy.

Your probably right

But still I can't believe some of the actors they have given to over Leo

Jude Law & Matt Damon are not better looking than Leo...just saying

Not a big Ryan fan myself. And Green Lantern didnt look that good IMO

Leo has been on 25 Most Beautiful People cover though 2 years in a row & 1 year just him....BUT STILL

*is bitter*

Me too. Maybe after he's done playing a serial killer and then a fbi undercover agent he might have time for a comedy

*PassionateJ* · 11-23-2010, 08:12 AM

The cover I was talking about (hehe which I still have

)

Did anyone pick up The Sexiest Man Alive issue? I heard Leo is in a 2 page spread.

I saw it at the grocery store last night, but was still so annoyed by Ryan getting it, not to mention the insane number of people at the store, that I didn't even browse through it. But, now that I know Leo has a spread, I'll definitely stop off somewhere tonight and take a look at it. Thanks for the tip Jess!

‘ChelsღChina · 11-24-2010, 03:35 AM

I saw the Ryan Reynolds cover at the magazine stand (quite unimpressive if I might add) in walmart yesterday but I didn't think to look through the magazine to see Leo in there!

You're having that problem too? It's mayhem in the grocery stores right now!
