Starstruck (Day 12)

Day 12 - Five guys whom you find attractive (another long overdue post, I admit)

(Warning: Before you read any further, I feel that I have to warn you that this post will be extremely girly. You'd probably get super annoyed if you don't like reading about people writing about their celebrity crushes. Okay? Okay. You have been warned, haha.)

Okay, so this will be a really a fun post to make!

I've decided to list 5 Hollywood celebrities whom I find really attractive. Obviously, they are just some of the many good-looking celebrities out there. I just decided to list the first 5 people I thought of. You don't necessarily have to agree with me, but for some reason, they make my list haha. Of course I'm including some photos and some of the reasons why I have celebrity crushes on them, hehe ☺

(Gonna list them from youngest to oldest)

Logan Lerman

Okay where do I even begin? Logan Lerman is definitely my biggest crush!

It's not just because he's really good-looking but because he's such a funny and talented guy too. He acts, he writes, he plays in a band (he knows how to play the guitar and the keyboard) and he directs his own comedy shorts ☺

Also, every time I come across videos or articles of interviews with him, I find myself liking him more and more. He's a self-confessed geek, it's cute ♥ Hahahaha.

In interviews, every time an interviewer asks him about how he deals with all the girl fans out there, he always says that fans will probably be disappointed because he's really shy around girls. (For some reason, I find that adorable.)

Oh and he's just a year older than me!

I swear, the first photo just makes me swoon every time I see it ♡




Alexander Ludwig

So, he's probably not as well-known as the other guys on this list but still, I find him really good-looking. And he's one of the few celebrities close to my age :)) Like Logan, he's also a year older than me.

For those who don't remember, he was Will Stanton in The Seeker: Dark Is Rising. He was such a kid there! And now, of course, he has become more known because of his role as Cato in The Hunger Games movie (will write about this soon!).

I admit, I didn't really have a crush on him when I saw him in Dark Is Rising. He only caught my attention when I came across the news that he had been cast as Cato. I'm a huge fan of the series (read the whole series around 2 years ago) so of course I was intrigued and excited to see if he'd pull it off. If you've watched the movie, I'm sure you'll agree with me when I say he pulled off Cato's cockiness. It was so amusing to watch especially since his role as Will Stanton was so different.

Oh, fun fact! He auditioned for Peeta's role (which Josh Hutcherson eventually got) and then was cast as Cato. I think they made the right choice.

He's a gifted musician as well as an athlete (he water skies, plays basketball, tennis and ice hockey).

Lastly, he is also a model for Abercrombie & Fitch.

Now for the photos! Be as amazed at his transformation as I was ☺

Then (as Will Stanton):






Now:






➌ Zac Efron

Not much needs to be said.

I mean, c'mon. He acts, he can sing and dance, he's a gentleman and he was such a sweet boyfriend to Vanessa.

There just has to be something wrong with him because he's too perfect. It's crazy, haha.



So much photos, I know (how embarrassing hahaha)

➍ James Franco

I have to say, I couldn't decide between James Franco and Ryan Gosling because they're both wonderful. I decided to go with James though because I am in awe at how talented and intelligent this guy is!

First off, he is an amazing actor. Truly. He's been nominated 34 times for various awards (and even for an Oscar!) and he has won 14 of them. He has appeared in an eclectic range of films as well. Lately, he has been trying directing.

Now, like I said earlier, he's extremely intelligent. Can you believe that he once took up 62 course credits in a quarter as compared to the usual 19? And he did this while acting! Many of his colleagues have said in interviews that his ability to focus is incredible.

He is a talented mathematician and even interned at Lockheed Martin. He has a BFA in English from UCLA, 2 MFA degrees (in writing) from Columbia and Brooklyn College, respectively; and a 3rd MFA (in film) from NYU. He also received his undergraduate degree with a GPA over 3.5/4.0. He's currently teaching film for a graduate class, aside from working for his upcoming films.

Oh, he's also a painter. Some of his work was displayed for a time at the Glu Gallery in LA and he had his first European art exhibition in 2011 at Peres Projects in Berlin.

Okay, I know this is a lot of information but c'mon, doesn't it just make your jaw drop? @-)









➎ Orlando Bloom

He is 1/3 of one of my favorite celebrity families. He and Miranda Kerr make such a good-looking couple! And Flynn Bloom has to be one of the cutest celebrity babies ever, aghhh.

I remember seeing how supportive he was of Miranda during the 2011 VS Fashion Show + he's such a sweet husband too (here's an example hihi - http://www.justjared.com/2011/11/04/orlando-bloom-framed-his-love-letters-for-miranda-kerr/#more-680346)

And yes, I've seen some of his interviews. He has such a dorky laugh, it's really adorable :)) It was during one of the times he was on Ellen's show (here's the link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kz6v5SHpyf0).

He seems like such a nice person and yes, I think he's attractive as well. I mean, c'mon, if a guy can pull off (and really well, I have to say) a long-haired blonde wig, that is really something. Haha.



Aren't they such a lovely family? And c'mon, isn't Flynn Bloom such a cutiepie ♡

Hallelujah

Finally.
After more than 2 weeks, I finally have the time to update my blog again. It's a great feeling, really.

This whole month has frankly just been really crazy!

Loads of papers to submit and just an endless pile of school work to accomplish every night for the past 2 weeks or so.

I'm really thankful it's finally over (well, at least before the next school year starts)☺

With that said, it still amazes me that this school year has gone by so quickly. Too quickly, in fact.

Today was my last day of regular class as a college freshman (aghhh, I still can't believe it!). It blows my mind every time I think of it.

I can't believe I've survived this year.

It's definitely been such a wonderful experience

The people I've met, the new places I've gone to and all the unforgettable moments have made this school year pretty awesome ☑

Only 3 (hopefully 2, if I get exempted from ES finals) days of finals to go and I can finally say hello to summer break! ☀

I'm so excited. Summer 2012 is really looking up ♡

Oh and before I end this post, let me just say that I'll finally get to continue my 30-day challenge (which I haven't been updating for the past 2 weeks. Definitely long overdue haha)

Check out my next post for Day 12 ☺☺
