OK, this is a really sad and slightly stalkerish question...

I was watching 'Sweet November' on tv the other day, and realised that it was the second film that KR had acted in with Charlize Theron (Devil's Advocate was the first). This got me to thinking because he has acted twice with Rachel Weiss too (Chain Reaction and Constantine), AND Sandra Bullock (Speed, and his new one, Glass Lake(???))

Anyhoo, it got me to thinking. I know he's not the best actor in the world, so why would so many top actresses want to repeat the experience? I think he is totally gorgeous and sexy, so that would do it for me I guess!

Just a passing thought really...any film buffs out there? (Or, am I really sad?) Blush

prob because he's a fairly big name. Although I like to think it's because he's just lovely.
It's the Lake House btw (I think).

Uma's been in two films too: Dangerous Liasions and Even Cowgirls Get The Blues.

Now I do sound stalkerish.

Even more so because he wasn't the lead in DL! You score more stalker points than me Wink Grin

I play a game with my friend where we each think of a celebrity then see who can work out the shortest links bewteen them. So and so starred with thingimy in x who was married to y etc.
so I'm quite well practiced Grin

Isn't that called 7 (somethings) of Kevin Bacon? God, my brain is shot to bits at the moment!

possibly. I made it up with another friend years ago and thought we were so original. Stuart Maconie does a musical one on radio 2 - 6 degrees of separation or sim.

cupcakes · 17/06/2006 18:41

maybe 7 degrees

melsy · 17/06/2006 18:43

Seven degrees of separation

Im sooo wanting to see lakehouse, not sure of the chemistry between the two of them,or his acting ability ever, and always watch a lot of his films, but 90 mins of lovely keanu, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Anyone know its release date hoping its before my due date !!!!!

Tinker · 17/06/2006 18:43

Isn't the game just called Kevin Bacon? I think name any actor/film and see how few links it takes to get back to a KB film since he's been in so many.

Yes, it came to me after I hit post. Degrees is the word Blush. You start with an actor, and have to make it link to Kevin Bacon in 7 names. There was a really funny bit in Will & Grace where Kevin Bacon mentions Tom Cruise and links to himself in 3 names...well, I guess you had to be there!

I know Melsy. I do think his acting is improving over the years though. After I saw the Matrix, I was lusting after him for quite a time. Then I watched Constantine, and fell in love again. Every time I see him in a film I get all unnecessary Grin

I can join Kevin to Tom Cruise in one link: A Few Good Men.

It's more challenging when you use two celebrities (not always KB) because then you get more variety and more of a challenge (I have too much time on my hands!).

You start to find useful links. For example, working through George Clooney always reaps loads of celebrities to make connections from.

monkeytrousers · 17/06/2006 20:15

Oh you just made my day! Are there any links to photos? I'll read the thread now

monkeytrousers · 17/06/2006 20:18

Cupcakes - that was the film mentioned in Will and Grace.

He used to be better when he was in my private idho and miss julia and script writer and truly madly deeply which also stared sandra burnhart who was in will and grace if you want a link there. But then he went of the boil and then came back super sexy in the matrix. Sorry am in love with Keanu Grin

Truly Madly Deeply??? On the stage? The film had Juliet Stevenson and Alan Rickman...

OP posts:
emmawill · 17/06/2006 20:59

Yes they were the lead roles but Sandra burnhart was the daughter and Keanu was her boyfriend something like that very long time since I have seen the film.

No, Keanu is definitely not in the film that I'm thinking of. It's British, with no Americans in it. Are you sure that you mean TMD?

Humm I wonder what I'm thinking of then? I'll have to think about that, sorry Blush They are in a film together though I'm sure, a 80s film.

emmawill · 17/06/2006 21:13

River pheonix was in two of his films to my private idho and I love you to death I'm still thinking about the one with sndra burnheart.
