Swoons & Gushes

I'm not big on celebrity anything, Brad & Angelina stuff leaves me cold, as does who Jennifer Aniston is dating etc. I do make some effort to read the odd bits on celebrity but having to digest celebrity mags as part of my MA I went off it all. In fact Melanie Rickey at my graduation showcase told the audience during the ensuing discussion on celebrity after my short film - that she couldn't stand to see another front cover of Grazia with Aniston on it, over a year later there have been quite a few since!

But you could have knocked me down with a feather when I got a Rachel Weisz marries Daniel Craig on my twitter feed. Obviously I'm so rubbish I didn't even know they were an item. however, if there were two people I would have put together then it these too. Talk about beauty - the pair of them.


Although I'm not one for girl crushes, if I did have to say one it would be Rachel Weisz for her beauty and brains (sorry Nigella, okay you are joint first really). She is utterly gorgeous and would be a welcome addition to a dinner party, my mouth would hang open.


As for Daniel Craig until I had to watch Casino Royale (2006) many many times as part of my MA dissertation, I'd not really given him a second thought. And no it wasn't the swimming trunks scene that got my pulse up but his acting and characterisation. After all he got me a distinction. He is a very handsome man.



Therefore I'm having a moment of indulgence and clogging the blogosphere with pap of the highest quality. I'll be hot footing it to their forthcoming film Dream House.

  1. Back at christmas I was sitting around having one of those silly hypothetical conversations with some friends of mine, and the question was "who would you have a "sandwich" with?" I had to pick Rachel & Daniel! Then explain who they were to my dopey friends.

  3. I had no idea they were together. She is beautiful but that is all I know about her. I'm not sure I could name a film that she has been in.

  4. I had a bit of a surprise when I found out about them today too - good on them for keeping their love low-key and away from the paps. My god, their kids will be gorgeous!! xo

  5. I agree, they make a gorgeous couple and its refreshing that they are courting publicity either.xx

  6. I know. I couldn't care less about most celebrity couplings, but they're just too adorable.

    I remember lusting after him in Moll Flanders, but I lost interest as soon as everyone went nuts on him as Bond ;)

    She's stunning, and a vintage fan to boot!

  7. They do make a gorgeous couple and unlike me and my usual total lack of interest in celebs I actually knew they were an item. I've fancied the pants of him since The Trench and loved her in The Constant Gardener". x

  10. Me too - no idea they were together but think it's a lovely pairing. And echoing other comments, nice to see a couple who keep it low-key.

  11. She's beautiful...he's not my type, but I doubt he stays up at night worrying about that :-D

  12. Er... i only just found out about this. I have a massive crush on both of them! Very jealous; but extremely happy for them both.

  13. I am probably the last to know that these two were an item.
    It's kind of funny I have a girl crush on Nigella.... too.

  14. They've only been together six months. I wonder if there will be another announcement soon? xx

  15. I don't know if anyone knew about this! I was surprised, but think it's lovely. There are some celebrity couples out there that I feel inexplicably fond of: Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber, William H macy and Felicity Huffman, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard...These two are definitely on my geeky little list.
