You know how you always have that one celebrity crush that stays with you forever? No matter what happens, what he does with his life, or hey, even if you two meet, you will always harbor that fangirl feeling towards him? Well, that's me, with Mr. Leonardo DiCaprio. With only an eighteen year difference, I don't think that's such a stretch right? Ever since those "Growing Pains" days, I've been head over heels.
Just saw two early movies he was in This Boy's Life and What's Eating Gilbert Grape? He plays a kid with an abusive stepfather (true story) in the former and the mentally retarded younger brother of Johnny Depp in the latter. I loved him both; you can really see why he would go on to be the actor he is today.
Not my favorite rendition of Romeo & Juliet, but for Claire Danes and Leo, I'd sit through it again.
And, of course, Titanic, the greatest love story ever, even if Avatar replaces it with the highest grossest. Nothing will ever beat the story of Jack & Rose!
And of course The Departed (above) and Blood Diamond below, cemented his status as an A-list actor, and my fangirl crush on him.

So how about you guys? Any celeb crush that will always stick with you? Whether they become fat or old or ugly to the rest of the world, you somehow will always hold a soft spot for him? Sigh I suppose I could share Leo with you if it came to it...
I've watched almost all of his movies too. I am amazed by his transformation. He is one actor who can reinvent himself.
ReplyDeleteMy celeb crush... don't laugh okay? I adore Harrison Ford.
Ohh Leo is too cute for words. I think hes so much hotter now that he's older. But Ohh in Romeo & Juliet, adorable. I can't wait to see Shutter Island with him!!
ReplyDeleteOh I like Harrison Ford too & David Boreanaz from Buffy.
Ohhh Leo was perfect in Romeo & Juliet, he never looked better! I remembered those "growing pains" days so well too!!
ReplyDeleteHmm, I pretty much lost my heart to Brad Pitt during Legends of the Falls and Meet Joe Black, he was so beautiful:)
k that just made me fall in love with leo all over again. i used to be obsessed. OBSESSED! my forever celeb crush is bruce willis. i don't know what it is but he makes me melt, even as he wrinkles.
ReplyDeleteps. thanks for the bangs tips. very helpful!
Yes I love Leo. He was at his best during his Romeo and Juliet and Titanic days, tho :)
ReplyDeleteoh he is a great one... i don't think i have a crush that has really stuck the test of time... maybe harrison ford though!
ReplyDeletegrowing pains! yes! great post
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute post! I remember when I was little and Titanic came out and ALL the girls had a huge thing for Leo all of a sudden. My one celeb crush that will stay with me forever would probably be Orlando Bloom. Damn that Miranda Kerr for getting to him before I did :P

Leo is so charming & so talented. I agree with the Romeo & Juliet comment - not the best rendition, but I would watch it again. And Titanic was definitely one of the best love stories.
ReplyDeleteMy celeb crushes never really lasted so long haha; it would constantly be changing. However, right now I'm smitten with Joseph Gorden-Levitt & James Franco. Swoon.
he is a greatt actor!!!
ReplyDeletelovely!

Oh how I love you for this post! I think that I will forever harbor a crush on Robert Schwartzman (he was Michael Moscovitz in "The Princess Diaries" and he's in the band Rooney). I just find him incredibly adorable!! :)
ReplyDeleteAhhh yes, I too will always love Leo! I almost felt bad that after Titanic he was typecast for romance roles, but I'm glad he's come back with grittier movies. Blood Diamond was pretty amazing and he was phenomenal in Gilbert Grape!
ReplyDeleteHe is a good Actor. Baby Face :)
ReplyDeleteI don't have any fauvorite
