Robert Downey Jr and other celebrity husbands

Celebrity Husband/Wife: (n)  A person with which you have a fictional/fantasized marital relationship.

So that's what I mean by celebrity husbands.  Not men who are famous and happen to be married, but men who I have crushed over hard core for a very long time.

My very first celebrity husband was Richard Dean Anderson.  I mean, seriously, who wouldn't crush over MacGyver?  He was awesome.  And a total brain.  Action her.  And that hair.  Oh the hair.  That just made my life, really.  I was totally in love with him when I was like 8 years old.




My next celebrity husband will be a little bit of a shock because he's not really considered the hottest of the hot.  That would be Dwight Schultz.  I used to watch A-Team all the time and Murdock was my man.  I even wanted some black converse high tops just like his.  I liked them crazy, apparently.  He was on the adorable side of things, though.  


I think my next celebrity husband was Tom Selleck.  Magnum P.I. was one of my favorite shows and seeing him running around in those short shorts just made my heart all a flutter.  And this was back when I was supposed to think boys were yucky.  I never really went through that stage that I can recall.  And all of these various celebrity husbands are totally putting a date stamp right on my forehead.  lol.   Though I think I was more in love with Magnum's Ferrari than I was with him.  



Through the years my celebrity husbands changed.  As different people came into the acting world, began to get noticed, that kind of thing.  Though I think that my longest running celebrity marriage was a poly-amorous one.  This was my fake marriage to both Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford.  From the time I was about 10 until the time I was about 24, I was addicted and obsessed with Star Wars.  So, of course, I had to be in love with the two main characters of the movies, right?  And who wouldn't be?  They were good looking men.  It's almost impossible to find a picture of just Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford without Carrie Fisher being in it too.  


Now my celebrity husband tastes have taken a turn for the more comic book direction.  I actually have another poly-amorous fake marriage going on with Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, and Sebastian Stan. 






While my love for RDJ began back in the early 90's, I've been unable to officially call him a celebrity husband until recently.  2008 to be exact.  Iron Man just made me fall completely head over heels in love with him all over again.  And I know what you're thinking.  Captain America made me in love with Chris Evans and Sebastian Stan, right?  Well, you would be wrong on that account.  

What made me fall in love with Chris Evans was actually the movie What's Your Number?.  I only kind of liked him after Captain America.  Colin Shea really made me lose it for him.  He was so adorable and sweet, while being a total man whore.  It was impossible not to fall in love with him.  And let's not forget that he spends about 80% of the movie naked.  That was a major bonus right there.  

I fell in love with Sebastian Stan while he was on Once Upon A Time.  His character of Jefferson/Mad Hatter was awesome.  That is what brought my attention to him as an actor.  I remember watching it and thinking that he looked familiar and then looking him up and being like "OMG! That's the guy that played Bucky!" and my daughter was also amazed.  

Now, what does having a celebrity husband entail, you might ask?  Well, for me, that means tracking down and watching every single movie, TV show, and even commercial that they've been in that I can actually get my hands on and watching all of it.  Even the really bad ones.  And there have been some majorly bad ones.  Especially in Robert's career, though I offer him no offense in that statement.  I think the worst of the movies I watched for RDJ was one called In Dreams.  It was just bad.  And he had long, stringy red hair, which he really can't pull off.  It was one of those times I wish I could get my time back.  

I think for Chris Evans, the worst of his projects that I watched (so far) was Loss of a Teardrop Diamond.  Now, let me explain why I think this.  This movie is not bad.  The acting is good and the sets are great and the whole cast is just amazing.  With a glowing review like that, why do I call it the worst of Evans' movies (so far?).  Well, it's Tennessee Williams.  And while he is noted as one of the greatest play writes, I just think he is long winded and boring and slow.  But that's my personal opinion.  

The worst of the Sebastian Stan movies that I have seen would have to be Gone.  I did not like that movie at all.  It was completely unrealistic and Amanda Seyfreid wasn't that great.  Sebastian was the best actor in the movie and his acting wasn't even at its best in that one.  Just over all, not good.  The movie of his that surprised me, though, was The Covenant.  I went into this movie thinking it was going to be bad based on the premise.  And while I was partly true, and some of the acting really was horrible, over all it was a good movie.  Especially Sebastian.  He is surprisingly good at being evil.  It was great.  

So now you have a general idea of what it means to have a celebrity husband.  I have to say, though, that I've even had a celebrity wife at one point.  Her name is Natalie Dormer and she's awesome.  I would totally go gay for her.  And I would motorboat Kat Dennings if she was okay with it.  But that's beside the point.
