I've been sitting here for ages trying to think of someone - it's really difficult - but anyway one man's arse is always going to be another man's genius

Ok let's just make quite clear of the criteria here before I waste my precious brain cells on this issue.

Person has to be talented, but not an arse, yes? Or wasn't our original challenge to find someone who was talented and not f*cking mad and self-destructive? Which is it to be, HC?

Pruni · 03/03/2006 19:33

Bill Bailey is rather talented. Any opinions on his arsiness?

(I was going to say Eddie Izzard but his star has dimmed, no longer the genius I thought he was, and anyway is so clearly an arse that he cannot possibly count.)

FrannyandZooey · 03/03/2006 19:34

Why is Eddie Izzard an arse? You might be onto something there, Pruni....

mykidsmum · 03/03/2006 19:35

I think Pete Doherty is extremely talented, unfortunately he prioritises his 'rock and roll wild boy' image over his music, which he should just let speak for itself.

AggiePanther · 03/03/2006 19:35

I think Johnny depp is talented ..and not an arse ...but I'd quite like to see his

Pruni · 03/03/2006 19:35

Inside info, fran.

mykidsmum · 03/03/2006 19:36

I think Eddie Izzard is an arse.

Pruni · 03/03/2006 19:37

Ah, see, I think JDepp is great, not an arse, agreed, but I don't think he's really talented. Makes good choices of films to make and is a lot of fun and definitely game, but not really a stonking actor.

Ooh, ooh, Clive Owen is apparently very very pleasant and he is talented.

FrannyandZooey · 03/03/2006 19:37

Pruni! Shock You can't play the inside info card and leave us hanging, woman!

FrannyandZooey · 03/03/2006 19:40

You see we are playing straight into HC's hands here by declaring our hands before she has stated the rules. She will just waltz back in an hour and say oh sorry, didn't I say? When I said "talented", I actually meant "from Basildon", or something.

Pruni · 03/03/2006 19:43

Franny, friend's boyfriend's friend's girlfriend worked for Ella Productions, his production complany, and said he was an arse - a bit. Not too bad. It's hardly material for Heat magazine, this. Sorry.

HC can say what she likes, I'm havin' Clive.

AggiePanther · 03/03/2006 19:50

PMSL @ basildon

Pruni ...ok if I can't have johnny ...how about Ewan Mcgregor? He certainly seemed very human and un-arse-like in 'the long way round' docuthingy ...and he''s a good actor ...and years ago I snogged his brother

iamacreepyweirdo · 03/03/2006 19:51

I wanna destroy the passerby

Pruni · 03/03/2006 19:53

Ooooooh Aggie, controversial - I have a thing about Ewan McG being completely and utterly untalented and have first hand gossip to support that ...
I just think he's pants. But I will concede that I may be in a minority - he seems very popular. I have a theory (as a Scot) that it's because he's got a Scottish accent. It seems to cancel out the need to prove any acting skills. That bloke form Sliding Doors is another example.

harpsichordcarrier · 03/03/2006 19:54

Clive Owen??
Ewan mcgregor???
you're having a larf the lot of you
actually the original talent was genuis and not mad and/or a twonk

try harder

harpsichordcarrier · 03/03/2006 19:55

god yes pruni you are right about the Scottish accent thing
hmmmm

Pruni · 03/03/2006 19:55

I told you, I am havin' Clive.
I have to rewind bits to take in the awesomeness of his acting.
Seriously and nothing to do with his looks (as he is looking a bit ropey these days to be frank)

Pruni · 03/03/2006 19:56

Harpsi I can't be bothered posting it on the lyrics thread but FGS could you stop stealing my first thoughts?

Creep
You even got my favourite line right
It's getting weird...

CountessDracula · 03/03/2006 19:57

I find clive the least talented actor ever

harpsichordcarrier · 03/03/2006 19:58

"the awesomeness of his acting..."
there's a euphemism if ever I heard one.....

Pruni · 03/03/2006 19:59

No really
I think he's great
If a bit one trick
CD Shock how can you not agree?

AggiePanther · 03/03/2006 20:00

Ok then ok then ..the guy who plays yoda ..now he's really talented ..sorry I mean 'talented he really is'

Pruni · 03/03/2006 20:01

Aggie you give up too easily!
