Josh Hartnett Shares Stalking Incidents Influenced His Decision To Walk Away From Hollywood

I love Josh and I think he's incredibly hot, but I really hope that he's not trying to re-write history.

Because my understanding is that he had a major drug problem at the time, and he needed a break from Hollywood.

Both could be true.

Prancing around with Aaron Paul in their underwear in that Black Mirror episode…

Mama’s mussy is sweating like a taco left on the sunny side of the space station!

I didn’t realize how tiny his teeth are…

Pics please R3!

R3 Kate Mara has such an ugly mouth. Why does it remind me of Cornelia's from the original Planet of The Apes movies?

They are both stationed in space, and there are a handful of scenes where they are out of uniform and in underwear and HAWT.

R1 Heroin or coke.

I just watched him on a Jamie Oliver show, he came across as soft spoken and reserved.

The stalking caused the massive drug addiction!

Heroin addiction also played a role, Josh

he's probably imagining all this "stalking" nonsense 🙄

Looking forward to seeing Trap - Shamalyan is fun when he isn't trying to be self-serious.

So did he really turn down the Superman role or was it just his drug addiction that lost him the part?

Here's the interview in The Guardian

He's interesting

Yes.

Not buying it.

Not naming any names.

[Quote] he engaged in chats with director Christopher Nolan about Batman,

🤭

New York Times interview.

I don't recognize him in OP's pic, he's not squinting.

What a fucking liar and loser

He was a cocaine addict.

R18 He is much better actor than Ben but just couldn’t say no to them drugs. I told him why don’t you just become a drunk like Ben.

He didn't walk away, no one was checking for him. He's not very good.

He’s very good in TRAP.

He’s handsome and likeable but was never a great actor. I caught 40 Days And 40 Nights last month and he didn’t have “it”.

I always thought he'd be the next Charles Bronson.

I decided not to do big studio fare and focus more on independent films. I wanted to cut my teeth in the way that I thought was more in line with my understanding of what a good film would be. To journalists at the time that looked like stepping away from the brass ring. Why would I do that? The press was severe. It was like I was crazy. That became the dominant narrative....I felt like an adult at that age, but really, your brain isn’t even fully formed. You’re trying to take in the world’s opinions of you and register that within yourself. I needed space to just be me.

I agree he isn’t a great actor but better than Ben A.

Who?

You ask “Who?”, r31, yet you resurrected a thread after five months of no replies about someone you’re not familiar with.

R32 Oh, well, then, shoot me.

This thread popped up on my new threads for some reason. I didn't even realize I was resurrecting it. Don't be such a piss ant.

I liked him on Penny Dreadful which was a series I was sad that ended after only two seasons.

The follow up Penny Dreadful: City of Angels was, itself, dreadful.

Bullshit.

He had PBDS - Post "Black Dahlia" Syndrome.

Holy shit, BD was jaw-dropping bad, and not in a good way, especially the last 1/2 hour.

And Hartnett's performance had all the animation of the 10lb bag of powdered cement leaning against the corner of my garage.

In fairness, though, everybody put in a bad performance in BD and appearing in that would chase anybody out of the business for a while.

Hartnett's a hunk, though, and I saw from the "Trap" trailer that he can act.

[quote] Why does it remind me of Cornelia's from the original Planet of The Apes movies?

We have no idea, since there is no character named "Cornelia" in the original Planet of the Apes movies.

You know, I take it back.

Not what I posted about Black Dahlia, but my "Bullshit" about him being stalked.

If he says he was, I don't doubt him. And being famous is no walk in the park.

Little bitch making things up.

I miss his Minnesota Girlfriend. I wonder what happened to her?

We do not approve of him.

He plays the lead character in the excellent 2006 film, Lucky Number Slevin. With Lucy Liu, Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, Ben Kingsley, and Stanley Tucci. See it you you haven't yet.

He tried doing "complex" roles like Wicker Park, but there was no box office.

Lucky Number Slevin is a great movie. I bought the DVD when it came out and watched it over and over again. I don't know what genre you'd call it. It's a like fun 70s crime thriller.

Slevin is indeed a fun movie. I remember different wallpapers and that Josh spends a lot of time only with a towel on, which, alas, doesn’t fall. Very unTechkovian.

I think he is very hot and seems a nice person. Good for him to have a slower career, whatever the reason.

Sure, Jan.

[quote] He’s handsome and likeable but was never a great actor. I caught 40 Days And 40 Nights last month and he didn’t have “it”.

The name of the movie is 40 Days OF Night.

[quote] I miss his Minnesota Girlfriend. I wonder what happened to her?

Now he's dating a girl in Europe.

He was also good in Penny Dreadful

The stalker was probably Clooney.

I like Josh. He’s intelligent and I enjoy watching him.

One of the worst performances on film is Hilary Swank in Black Dahlia.,

R50, Agreed, she is beyond awful in her attempt as femme fatale.

He did live in Minneapolis in the early 2000s. I saw him at the local art house theater a few times.

It's amazing how miscast and bad Swank was in BD.
