Josh Hartnett looks gorgeous in first major movie role in years

Guy Ritchie’s Wrath of Man

He reminds me of Ryan Reynolds-- smug looking asshole whose movies I've never seen.

Does he still have that ugly black mole on his neck?

by Anonymousreply 4March 29, 2021 10:40 PM

He's so hot. He's like a walking Greek statue. He can't act to save his life though. I guess he got tired of sucking old Hollywood dick and laid low with his wifey in England until Penny Dreadful made him somewhat known again.

by Anonymousreply 5April 5, 2021 3:19 AM

Gorgeous? Seriously? He looks basically the same as he did -- tired, bored, uninterested -- but not 'gorgeous'.

The DL Mole Patrol is decidedly not a fan of his.

by Anonymousreply 7April 5, 2021 3:22 AM

His mole isn't that distracting to me. He definitely is one of those stars I think that slept for roles. He came out of bumblefuck Minnesota and landed major roles in Hollywood in such a short amount of time. He didn't even spend years doing minor roles or modeling or something. He had to have sucked some major dick.

[quote] After Hartnett graduated from Minneapolis South High School in 1996, his move to New York to attend the Conservatory of Theatre Arts & Film at SUNY Purchase did not go as well as he had hoped, and a year later, at 19, he found himself in California.[6] Shortly after arriving in Los Angeles, he caught an improbable break, landing a part in the short-lived but acclaimed drama Cracker, on ABC. Although the series was cancelled after sixteen episodes, Hartnett had made a name for himself. He then began to focus on feature film work. He performed in small plays and on national television commercials before being cast in his first feature film, playing the son of Jamie Lee Curtis' character in Halloween H20: 20 Years Later. Released on August 5, 1998, it performed well at the box office.

He reminds me a lot of Garrett Hedlund, another wooden pretty boy out of MN who modeled then somehow made the jump right into major films. And both dated or lived with Kiki Dunst, at different times.

^^ Should add, both Hedlund and Hartnett have struggled with booze and substances, to varying degrees of success.

He certainly had. I was clicking from station to station one night when this young god appeared, tied to a bed on the above-referenced Cracker. I stopped clicking and kept watching. Unfortunately, it was a one-episode deal, and the show soon disappeared.

Crazy good armpit shots. Mmmm.

His looks and willingness to show his hot body is what made him a name. I reckon he got tired of being a passive sex object and wanted to be taken seriously as an actor. Which was never going to happen with his limited acting.

by Anonymousreply 18April 5, 2021 2:53 PM

I find him incredibly sexy and his acting has improved. He's always been a friend to and advocate for gay people. so in my book that goes a long way in liking him.

When I first saw Hartnett in a movie I thought he was Eurasian or some kind of white-Native American mix. His physical features like his wide face, epicanthic eye folds, cheekbones and smooth olive skin. His very thick and dark hair texture that sticks out rather than lays flat.

He had to be a milkman baby. Maybe he has some Sami ancestry from the Norwegian and Swedish side of his family?

I remember him in The Virgin Suicides where he was perfect for the role of the blank, beautiful jock that deflowers Luxe and literally leaves on her football field. But he's too old for the empty pretty boy role now & his acting ability (or lack thereof) may not carry him much farther. His low key vibe was well matched with Eva Green, but with anyone else...not so sure

He needs more Matrix/John Wick type of roles where being passive/stoic works for the characterization. He has a rather flat affect and is wooden just like Keanu Reeves. Hartnett has a lot of dramatic roles in his filmography which shows his weakness as an actor.

Still, I imagine if he didn't get those Hollywood roles early on. He would have moved back to Minnesota and became successful in some type of white collar field or business. He seems very smart and empathetic in interviews.

I never much cared for him as an actor, but then I've seen him in only a few things.

But today I watched the first episode of HBO's Exterminate All the Brutes, in which he appeared in a few of the "recreation" moments, and I was surprised that he was pretty good.

by Anonymousreply 38April 9, 2021 12:34 AM

He was good in [italic]August[/italic], a small indie film about a selfish guy caught up in the dot.com biz and how he shits on everyone close to him. Then the bubble bursts and he gets humbled. I liked it. Not an exciting film, but he gave a decent performance.

by Anonymousreply 47April 11, 2021 5:31 AM

R47 Native, Indigenous and Aboriginal means the same thing and just like the term Indian/Indio. It was placed on the original ethnic groups of Americas by Europeans. Tribes prefer to be referred to by their tribal names or just the term Native or Indian actually. Most don't care if they're called Native American or Indian because they have bigger issues to deal with like the US government and racism from white Americans who live nearby their reservations.

by Anonymousreply 48April 11, 2021 10:28 AM

I find him very handsome, but he's one of those men who needs a good haircut. His hair is very fine in texture and if it's not cut properly it looks stringy and contributes to a sort of trashy look. I agree that he looks like he probably has some Native American in his genetic makeup.

His voice is sexy as hell!

R51 Thats fair. But we have to differentiate between Indigenous people throughout the world too. Calling them just "Indigenous" without any other description would cause a lot of confusion. The best bet would just ask what tribe they belong to and call them that anyway because Indigenous people aren't a monolith either.

I mean I think this works:

Canada = First Nations

The US = Native American or American Indian

Hawaii = Native Hawaiians

Alaska = Inuit/Eskimo

Mexico = Indigena/Originario

Australia = Aborigines and Torres Straight Islanders

His career is similar to Ryan Phillippe. A teen idol sex symbol of the late 90s who got some big roles in the early 2000s but either was box office poison or chose awful roles and turned down good ones. Unlike David Boreanaz they weren't able to get on multiple long running TV shows. Josh at least had Penny Dreadful which is a cult classic.

He used to hang at a bar called Nick and Eddie in Minneapolis's Loring Park. This was 10-12 years ago and I think he had a place in the tony Kenwood neighborhood, just up the hill from the park, that I believe he's since sold. My husband and I were eating at the bar once and he came in alone and sat near us ... he had an intense, almost physical charisma and was dressed in very expensive-looking but not flashy clothes. He spent most of the time reading on an iPad but also chatted on and off with the bartender. Seemed like a friendly, mellow guy.

Many celebrities who do live in California seem to prefer Central or Northern California for their privacy but will rent a place in LA just for work. I think the celebs who willingly live in LA all year round are either attention whores who want the attention from passerbys or are smaller actors still trying to break into the industry and thus have little options but to live there.

Josh Hartnett could have cashed in early and only do action films and a-list films. He chose not to (except of a few) but mostly he has chosen indie films, and lives in the UK to distance himself from LA

by Anonymousreply 87November 28, 2021 5:36 PM

He mentioned he is extremely shy and didn't want to do traditional hero roles. I'm sure was probably uncomfortable with all the attention from Pearl Harbor and Black Hawk Down. He also was hilariously unfitting in that dated 2000s comedy, 40 Days and 40 Nights. Notice after those movies, he shifted gears to doing more indie and artistic films like Wicker Park, Black Dahlia, Sin City and Mozart and The Whale. He likes doing roles that are morally ambiguous.
