Image: The Cradle-Robbing Martini Marauders 1999Whenever my girlfriends and I get together for a Girls' Night Out, we always talk about the latest versions of our freebie lists.
The revelations usually take place just after dinner. We're relaxed, enjoying dessert, a little buzzed, and primed for some laughter and the inevitable swooning. It's one of my favourite times of the evening.
If you've watched Friends, you'll know what the "freebie list" is. For those who don't know, the freebie list is the list of famous people you can bed with the permission of your significant other, if you are able to lure them to your lair in the first place.
I'm sure, for a group of smokin'-hot babes, my girls and I would all have a decent chance with the dudes on our lists - if only we'd move to Hollywood, choose the guys that were still alive, and not have to invent a time machine to hook up with the hotties in question. Yes, I'm looking at you, sly and myrtle! "Sean Connery but only in Darby O'Gill and the Little People", indeed! Pfft!
Ross' laminated list had only 5, but we increased our lists to 10. For this post, I'll only reveal my top 5.
So, how about you? Have you made your own list? Who's on it?
Okay, without further ado, here's my Top 5...
Gerard ButlerMy #1, this dude's appeal is that he's not a pretty-boy. Smart and funny, Ger would make a one-night-stand entertaining in more ways than one.
It's rather disturbing that, in some pictures, he looks eerily like Roomie. I mean, fantasizing about a guy that looks just like your spouse shows such a lack of imagination. But it also means I'm married to my fantasy guy. :)
Eric BanaHe was hot in Troy... well, who wasn't hot in Troy?! But he was truly the apex of hottitude in that movie, outshining even Brad Pitt, to me at least. Harmzie might disagree. :)
Olivier MartinezRestaurant bathroom scene, Unfaithful... just watch it and you'll understand. :) Kylie's a lucky girl. He's also known as the Brad Pitt of France... do you see it? I do... a little.
Richard Dean AndersonHe never did anything for me as McGyver, but as Jack O'Neill in Stargate SG-1, wow. He rocks that black t-shirt when he runs. :) Once again, the humour is a big factor.
StingRequires no justification, n'est pas? :)
Okay, now you! I can't wait to see who's on your lists!
16 comments - add yours here:
OK, here it is... a list of living guys who I don't have to go back in time for!
Clive Owen - yummy with a fabulous sexy voice.
Eric Bana - yeah, what you said.
Ewan McGregor - Like the movies (trainspotting, pillow book, big fish), dig the riding a motorcycle around the world and love that cute smile in Moulin Rouge.
George Clooney - handsome funny. what could be better.
Matt Damon - he's a new addition, but I like a funny guy, and all the jimmy kimmel stuff is cracking me up. Plus, I like the brooding look in the Bourne movies.
great list, girlfriend!
yeah, clive... if I were to reveal the second half of my list, he'd be there... and climbing fast! :)
You are a nasty girl! You've been bugging me about this for years, so here goes. This list is only good for today, tomorrow, it might be different.
Gabriel Byrne & Bryan Ferry. I count them as one, because I suspect they might be the same person. Have YOU ever seen them in the same place at the same time??? I didn't think so. A similar example is Kevin Costner & Dennis Quaid (neither on this "list" btw)
Sting - d'uh. Since about grade 8.
Adam Levine - look 'im up and tell me your knees don't get weak. Oh yeah, Cougar me up, baby. Like Uma Thurman says "I've got tshirts older than you"
Patrick Stewart - make it SO captain!!!
Han Solo >OOPS< of course I mean Harrison Ford. Have you ever seen him playing a NOT so nice guy! He's even better...
Kevin Spacey - he, on the other hand is NOT hotter when he's nasty. He is scary. Fortunately, he's not usually nasty.
That's five. I like big nerds and I can not lie. My nerd-sisters can't deny...
But of course I'm well (painfully?) aware that there is no *real* freebie list if it ever came down to it. Since that's the case, here's a couple of more:
Brad Pitt - a staple. He's best when he's insane... but mostly naked & buff is just fine too (Troy)
I have a nerd-sister friend (gave me my name) who shyly & embarrassedly (word?) admitted she had a thing for Sam Waterston (Law & Order). She said people usually gave her nasty looks when she admitted that but I am TOTALLY with her! (Given the nature of this "list", I should probably clarify: not "with her" so much, but more "in agreement")
Robin Williams - that would just be a wild adventure.
Clint Eastwood - just for bragging rights for the S.O.
What?!!! Brad's only an ALTERNATE?
Okay, I guess if you go full 10, he'll be there, but I'm a little stunned he didn't make Top 5.
You were always so non-committal with your List. Over the years, I think I was only able to get Adam Levine and Brad Pitt out of you. ;)
Hey. The list is shifting sands...
oooh, Bryan Ferry. Love that voice. He could be on my list. Gabriel Byrne could be too.
Never thought of the Gabriel Byrne/Bryan Ferry connection. Kind of like the Robert DeNiro/Al Pacino connection (not on my list, but I really have trouble remembering who stars in which movie).
I like Sting, but back in the days of the Police, I had a thing for Andy Summers. Sting seemed too serious.
Oh goodness... only 5. I'm off to narrow down my list. Be back soon, reporting with my list. Like Harmzie, I usually like the geeky guys too. And I KNOW Brad Pitt won't make my list. Dunno what it is, but I guess he's just not my type.
Ok, be back soon!
1. Capt. Jack Harkness, oh I mean John Barrowman. The man is a triple threat. He can sing, act, plays in a sci-fi show (Torchwood), and dresses great. Nevermind the fact that he's gay. I'm in love. Plain and simple.
1. (It's a tie, what can I say...) Peter Berg. Mainly a director (Friday Night Lights, Wonderland, The Kingdom, Very Bad Things), but he was in Alias, and had small appearances in Collateral, Smokin' Aces, and Corky Romano, I feel in lust with him as a teen in Aspen Extreme. He's been my number 1 ever since!
3. Zachary Levi- He plays in NBC's Chuck. The show is a little bit of Alias, little bit of geeky-goodness, with Mr. Hottie running around. I'm a sucker for his dark hair.
4. Adam Levine- Yum, Yum. Yum. Dark eyes, dark hair... (I'm melting...) and the man can croon some tunes.
5. Jamal Mayers- I'm not sure he counts, since he's a professional hockey player for the St. Louis Blues; but he just moved onto my list these past 3 months. He's bald, dark eyes (again!), and looks great in a suit (or a hockey uniform, hell, he'd look good in anything).
Others further down my list: Matt Damon, Matthew Goode, and Matthew McConaughey.
uh oh, I think Peter Berg and Adam Levine are going to be kicking a few people off the second half of my list!
Jamal Mayers totally counts... he's famous, so he counts. :)
Despite being gay, Tom Ford has almost made my list on numerous occasions.
Oh boy! Here goes my list:
1. Gerard Butler - need I say more. oh Gawd, yeah!
2. Clive Owen - intelligent and sexy and AWWWWW-SOME!!
3. Orlando Bloom - cute as Legolas, hot by the last Pirates movie. It's good to have a youngin in the list.
4. David Bowie - ever since I saw Labyrinth as I was kid - wow. But has anyone noticed him in "The Prestige" - gets better with time!!
5. Takeshi Kaneshiro - normally, asians aren't my type (maybe b/c i've had a stigma in my head that all asian guys were somehow related to me after calling their mother's "Auntie") he may be not overexposed in Hollywood, but he was definitely sexy in "House of Flying Daggers"
Goodness, after reviewing this list, none are Americans. LOL! How funny!
Dang! Orlando Bloom! This list is going to go through several iterations before it goes to the laminators...
@cyndi -
oh yes Orlando! :) He is on the second half of my list, along with Clive, Adam, Peter, and Ed Quinn, who I'm thinking of bringing up to the Top 5...
@harmzie -
Just as you said, girlfriend: "shifting sands"...
Hmmm... no responses from guys yet? I guess someone has to tell you what your husbands are thinking so it may as well be this idiot!
All I can say is... Bryan Ferry? Bryan Ferry rates up there with all this muscular eye candy? How does that work?
OK, if Bryan Ferry (and Andy Summers? what? Behind Stewart Copeland?) make someone's list, here's some alternates that you all might want to reconsider. If the name doesn't conjure up a face, you should probably google for best effect... :-)
1. Steve Buscemi. Come on, he's funny, and good looking! He was hilarious in Reservoir Dogs and in Ghost World!
2. Lloyd Robertson. That voice, those ties, the hair... plus, for some of you, you don't have to worry about shouting out the wrong name!
3. Floyd Robertson. Especially if he's dressed up as his alter ego, Count Floyd.
4. Dumbledore. The long flowing beard, the odd pronouncements, the magic... plus I just like the idea of girls oohing and aahing "oh, Dumbledore!".
4 (tie) Terry Gilliam as he appears as Patsy in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Funny and handy with the cocoanuts!
5. The Trailer Park Boys, especially Buggles or whatever his name is. Someone who really enjoys taking care of his kitties must really know how to treat a lady right. Plus, he's so full of self confidence that he doesn't care about his appearance. We all know how much the ladies like that...
6. Peter Mackay. Journalists always refer to him as a heartthrob, so he must be, right?
hmmm... so you're saying you *wouldn't* sleep with any of these guys...
I should get Roomie to comment... I wonder if Rachel Stevens and Jennifer Aniston are still on his list...
...so, I just watched "Elizabeth - The Golden Age" and Clive Owen might be telling Jean-Luc Picard or Harrison Ford that it's time to retire. {Oh my...}
I find it odd that Albert is more interested in padding the ladies' lists than providing his own... Albert, is there something you're not telling us?
