Last week i read the article "Celebrities" on my fellow Blogger's blog "TO's Headspace", in which he writes about how him and his gentleman friend, went to the pictures to see the movie X-MEN Origins: Wolverine, in which the two actors Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds star. Their conversations led them to furiously debate on which of the two is better.
I commented on the blog saying that i though Hugh Jackman is the better of the two, as he has metallic claws, however Young TO reminded me correctly that this was not real, and therefore could not be used as part of the argument. I have therefore done some research into both Actors...........
MR RYAN REYNOLDS (born 23/10/76 in Vancouver, British Columbia)
Reynolds would not be my choice of the two as the better, however, having done my research on him, he seems to be a lot cooler than i first thought.
His films include the Nation Lampoon production Van Wilder, which is quite amusing, and also a role in Blade Trinity, where he tells the vicious vampire to "Eat the frosted f**k off the end of his d**k". He has also appeared in TV programmes such as the award winning Scrubs.
His personal life also suprised me. Having been originally engaged to Alanis Morrissette, he is now happily married to the gorgeous Scarlett Johannson. He also plans to run the New York Marathon in memory of his father who died from Parkinsons disease.
Add to this his muscular build and good lucks, and the fact he is Canadian, he puts in a strong case to be better than Jackman.
MR HUGH JACKMAN (born 12/10/1968 in Sydney, New South Wales, Austrailia)
And now for Jackman, who i believe to be the better of the two. He doesn't only just have the good build and good looks you would expect from a Hollywood action star, his acting talents spread wide and far. Not only has he done the big blockbuster superhero movies, he has been able to spread to other genres, such as period and romance characters. He has also starred in television and musical theatre, and has a BA in Communications.
His awards are also endless.........

ReplyDeleteAdam assures me that Jackman was born in our very own Stockport. This is most likely a lie but still would not overtake Reynolds. Reynolds is the whole package and there is nothing he cannot do. He has another 8 years on Jackman to try and collect those prestigious accolades.
He goes home to Scarlett Johansson......
end of!
TO
TO,
ReplyDeleteAdam is partly right in the fact that Jackman's parent were English, however, Wikipedia says he was born in Sydney.
It it obvious this argument will never be resolved, however, my opinion of Reynolds has improved after my research.
Kind Regards,
Felix
