Get Inspired: Celebrity Crushes – Part II
Posted by Kaileen Elise on February 18th, 2010
Conditions for creativity are to be puzzled;
to concentrate; to accept conflict and tension;
to be born everyday; to feel a sense of self.
(Erich Fromm)
Hello my lovely creative friends. I hope you’re enjoying a productive and inspiring week. On Tuesday I shared my celebrity (girl) crushes and today you will learn about my top 5 celebrity boys. Of course, my mister is always #1—so I guess this list is really my #2-6.
Boy Crushes

Matthew McConaughey
Between his southern accent and boyish charm, Matthew McConaughey is nearly the perfect man. I first fell in love with him alongside Jodie Foster in Contact. I’ve also adored him in romantic comedies like The Wedding Planner and How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.

Edward Norton
There are so many reason to love Edward Norton. He’s good looking, smart and a super accomplished actor. He has been in so many great movies—a few of my favorites include The Painted Veil, The Illusionist, The Italian Job, 25th Hour, The Score, Keeping the Faith, Fight Club, American History X and Rounders.

Mike Rowe
If you haven’t seen Dirty Jobs, you should immediately record it on your DVR. There is something about Mike’s fearless nature and sarcasm that keeps me laughing throughout the show. He’s also the voice behind Deadliest Catch, another entertaining and boyfriend-friendly program on the Discovery Channel.

Hugh Laurie
Grey’s Anatomy and House are the only 2 shows my mister and I must watch each week. We love seeing how every episode, Hugh Laurie’s character manages to save his patients from rare and nearly incurable diseases, while effortlessly driving his coworkers crazy with his biting wit and practical jokes.

Jake Gyllenhaal
He’s funny, cute and a bit awkward. He has a famous sister and is an on-again-off-again relationship with one of my favorite actresses. I haven’t seen all his movies, but I really loved Jake Gyllenhaal in Donnie Darko, The Good Girl, Brokeback Mountain and Rendition.

What a fun and perfect list! Wonderful eye candy with which to continue my day.
I think I’d list all of these too, but Mr. McConaughey has got to be my fave. “Contact” set those adoration wheels in motion! I love the movie itself but could watch it again and again for a different reason…
i like your mix in taste
Jake Gyllenhaal YES! AMAZING in Brokeback Mountain. What I like about him is he seems like a guy you could actually meet.. Like at a coffee shop or even a small bar.
Edward Norton… I can see that.
love edward and jake
I have the hugest crush on Hugh Laurie. Especially when he speaks in his native accent.
Mine has always been Joshua Jackson; he just gets better with age
Oh man, count me in on Hugh Laurie and Mike Rowe! Yum yum! Apparently I like older men LOL (my hubs is 1.5 months older than moi)
