Man Candy Monday: John Cusack


My Man Candy this Monday may not be as flashy or as paparazzi infested as other big actors in Hollywood, but he is definitely in the big leagues...at least for me. My Man Candy Monday this week is my fave since my teen years, John Cusack. He can open a movie as lead actor and his body of work is quite impressive. And he works steadily for decades already, has brains above his shoulders, and has Level 6 black belt in Kickboxing. Love his shy smile, his lines in his movies, and his baby face. I just love him as Lloyd Dobler holding a boom box in 'Say Anything', that scene has stuck up on my memory for years now ... He is now filming 'The Raven' as Edgar Allan Poe.

Top 100 Favorite Movies Of The Decade

Serendipity | 2001

Jonathan Trager, prominent television producer for ESPN, died last night from complications of losing his soul mate and his fiancee. He was 35 years old. Soft-spoken and obsessive, Trager never looked the part of a hopeless romantic. But, in the final days of his life, he revealed an unknown side of his psyche. This hidden quasi-Jungian persona surfaced during the Agatha Christie-like pursuit of his long reputed soul mate, a woman whom he only spent a few precious hours with. Sadly, the protracted search ended late Saturday night in complete and utter failure. Yet even in certain defeat, the courageous Trager secretly clung to the belief that life is not merely a series of meaningless accidents or coincidences. Uh-uh. But rather, its a tapestry of events that culminate in an exquisite, sublime plan. Asked about the loss of his dear friend, Dean Kansky, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author and executive editor of the New York Times, described Jonathan as a changed man in the last days of his life. “Things were clearer for him,” Kansky noted. Ultimately Jonathan concluded that if we are to live life in harmony with the universe, we must all possess a powerful faith in what the ancients used to call “fatum”, what we currently refer to as destiny.

Can we go back to the 1980s romance flicks? Weren't they wonderful? Great choice!

Leeann @ Join the Gossip said...

How sad is it that I haven't seen most of his 80s movies?! I LOVE Edgar Allan Poe though and I think he will play the part well!

Thanks for linking up!! :)

GREAT choice! I have had a crush on him since I was about 8 years old. :)

He's one of those rare actors who has talent AND personality (and compassion), and genuinely seems like someone you want to get to know.
