Let me do some research on this one.
Okay, an updated list:
John Krasinski (that cute guy from The Office): Loved the hair, loved the sense of humor. I only want him if his personality's like that of his character in the Office.
Orlando Bloom: He's prettier than I am, but I think he'd be good for a tumble.
Taye Diggs: Because he's hot. And if you have five guys on an island, you should mix it up a little.
Patrick Dempsey: I am SO cliche.
Luke Wilson
Runner ups include that dude J Lo is married to and Chow Yun Fat.
Its sad because of the mainstream stars of today, I find them...lacking. Therefore should I mention the old school Hollywood stars I find amazing or does that veer creepily close to something better not mentioned... Good question. So in the interests of good taste, I will keep it to the living/under 80 crowd.
1) Angelina Jolie. Cliche? Yeah. Creepy because she used to keep a thingy full of Billy Bob's blood around her neck? No doubt. But I find her beautiful.
2) Charlize Theron. If there is no other reason to watch the Legend of Bagger Vance, she is it.
3) I really and truly can't think of 3 more. I can't think of anyone who is curvalicious (granted the first two really aren't) and fit the body type I really like. SO I guess it will be a lonely island.
Oh, I love it.
1. Edward Norton. Slightly nerdy and brainy combined with funny and liberal and socially outspoken is so utterly hot to me.
2. Ben Affleck. It's such a cliche. I love his chin dimple.
3. George Clooney. He will someday come and pick me up on his motorcycle and take me away to his Italian villa, where we will live happily ever after.
4. Josh Duhamel. There was an episode of "Las Vegas" where he's recalled to his Marine unit to go to Iraq, and he's parading around in uniform, where I think I was actually sweating.
5. Hugh Grant. You know how most people have two or three uncomfortable expressions? Hugh Grant has about 45, and I love someone more socially awkward than I am.
OK, here we go (in no particular order):
1. Johnny Depp -- but more like Chocolat Depp
2. Tiki Barber -- I've got a new infatuation with him - he's so cute on the Today show!
3. Mike Myers - but he's got to promise to be his character in "So I Married an Ax Murder" at all times. Because funny is hot.
4. Leonardo DiCaprio - I'm a recent fan of the eco-friendly Leo
5. Prince Harry - How did he end up so much cuter than his brother?
Viggo looks great, but I worry that he smells bad when he's scruffy. You think?
I forgot to say, I've heard that Brad Pitt is into the whole natural pheremones being sexy thing, as opposed to showered and Right Guard being sexy. He would be on my celebrity hump island, but I can't quite get past the suspicion that he probably smells like a dirty goat.
Well, I concur with the Depp, Pitt, Mortenson trifecta.
I am going to have to add John Lynch (Denver Broncos), Sting, and Sam from Top Chef.
How big is my island?
It seems like there's something worth saying in that you've gotten no male responses on this....
Possible reasons for lack of male response:
1. Fear
2. Celebs don't do it so much for guys. If the topic were "Five Women I Say Hello To At The Coffee Shop That I'd Make A Run At" or "Five Sports Center Anchors/Sideline Reporters To See My 'Big Screen'" the response might be different.
3. Completely and utterly satisfied with their wife/girlfriend, so much so that there is no other room for fantasy.
4. One woman is hard enough to deal with. Two would be fine -- the girls could hang out together and leave me the hell alone. More than that -- see Big Love -- is a terrifying idea.
5. Like all good managers, guys would want a diverse, cross-functional team. When someone invariably picks the slutty, skanky crack whore, you'd judge him, instead of realizing it was just rounding out the group.
As for me, my reason for not participating is #3. I bet that some of the other reasons apply to other male readers of this space, though.
If I had to pick five women to spend that much time with, they'd be the four gals from Sex and the City and Maggie Gyh..en...hall...rosen...rosen. Other women seem to like those four. Yeah, that's it.
Um, there was that one person -- peej -- who said Charlize Theron and Angelina Jolie. I don't know much about Peej, but I would assume Peej either has a penis or is a lesbian.
And FS, you've been MORE than willing to kick in on "Kill, Fuck, Marry."
Gah, you're right, I missed that (although let's watch our orientation assumptions!).
My reason is #3 OF COURSE, but also #2. Famous people-eh.
KFM is completely different. You are GIVEN three people you must choose from. That's nothing like, "pick out five people from the universe at large (but preferably somebody in Hollywood)."
Play this game with gay men. it gets very competitive. We call it "Top 5!" We also set a time limit. As in, "Top 5, English, GO!" Or "Top 5 Pro-Athletes!" Or, "Top 5 Movie Stars, pre-1950!"
That will kill sometime... :- 0
1. Hugh Grant doing the boyish fop thing, pre-crows feet in "Four Weddings."
2. David Beckham, as long as he keeps his mouth shut.
3. Zach Braff: He seems tortured, and I like that. However, he looks like a guy you might have to teach, so he could be easily kicked off my hump island.
4. Blair Underwood: No explanation needed.
Nods to Leo DiCaprio, Tim from the Office (British version), Depp and Clooney. I also find Benicio Del Toro oddly hot.
OK, since this has remainded up, I guess I'll make another comment that has been rolling around in my nearly empty head. I apologize ahead of time for thinking too deeply for what is supposed to be a game.
From the post, regarding Brad Pitt:
"And again, he possesses copious amounts of the hotness that comes from being a down-to-earth, super-involved, great dad."
If being a super-involved, great dad actually does give off hotness, then I need to install one of those deli counter ticket things. On my jock.
I call shenanigans. Being a great dad is many wonderful things. First and foremost, it is a reward unto iteslf. It certainly does improve a relationship between two people, by increasing respect, love, trust, admiration, etc.
But "hotness"? Isn't it more accurate to say "Brad Pitt is hot, and he seems like good dad (from the couple of seconds of his life that make it into pictures every month), which is another great trait to have in a mate."
I'm not picking on you, Merseydotes, because all of the magazines, the Oprah, the View-anshees, etc., all say the same thing. To me, it seems like conditioning. Being an involved dad is something that women want to promote, so they attach a desired quality to it. Either that, or because so many of us good dads out here look far less like Brad Pitt than we used to, that you give us credit for the one thing that we can do -- parent.
It's not a direct corollary, but a guy would say: "she's attractive, and she likes sports and beer!" But, no matter how well she throws a football, the other qualities do not make her more attractive.
I'm a little late to comment on this one, I've been thinking on it a bit and just to add a little variety...
I'd bring the main cast of the Outsiders. (I always think of High School w/ M and we watched it in Mrs. Burnett's class!) I don't know how many there are, but I don't think they should be split up, it would upset them too much. Tom Cruise can stay home, he's too short for me and a totaly nutter.
My first right now is definitely Damian Lewis, who was Dick Winters on "Band of Brothers," and is set to star in a new show on NBC called "Life." I'll watch it just because I think he's hot, and he's tall. That's very important.
I second your Viggo nomination, and that scene also is the one I would cite. It must have been written for girls, and, man, does he look good. I just watched this in 57-inch high definition, and he still looks good.
Third is a toss up. It used to be Wentworth Miller, the guy from Prison Break. He wasn't enough to keep me watching the show, though. Still, he was cute in "The Human Stain" too, if someone can be cute in such a sad, sad movie. I guess I'll go with him still.
