If You Love John Malkovich, Don’t Read This…

Aren’t you glad you don’t have to wake up next to John Malkovich every morning? I am. Remembering that actually helps me fall asleep at night. I know he is a great actor. I used to love him too. He made that awesome plastic gun that could get through metal detectors in “In the Line of Fire,” but nowadays every time I see him I just can’t help thinking how glad I am that I don’t have to see him naked. I don’t even want to draw him – and for me, that is saying a lot. Drawing naked old people is kind of my thing. He is not even that old though. I guess that is what makes him a little creepy to me. Instead of just getting older like he was supposed to, he got really blobby. And every time I see him he looks paler and blobbier. And mean. It has gotten to the point that I can’t even enjoy his new movies. I look away when he is on screen, even his voice is too much. I am obsessed with not seeing him naked. I am so obsessed with not seeing him naked that I think I need to see him naked and just get it over with. Okay so I just googled “John Malkovich naked” and the first image I got was this:

I’ve seen enough. Actually, he looks better than I thought.

    Why would you hate him if you don’t know him? How can you hate someone based on how they look?

    I think he is incredibly sexy in an effortless kind of way. He has brilliant facial features and beautiful eyes. He has great physical presence.

    Look at the fact that he is an aclaimed absolutley brilliant and very hard working proflific actor.

    He is creative in other ways apart from acting, which is evident in the fact that he is also able to design his own clothes-they are really beautiful items of clothing.

    He has said himself that he doesn’t care what anyone thinks about him, which reinforces my belief that he is also a very intelligent man.

    Nicoletta Pyran, his partner is his intellectual equal and reflects the fact thay he has good taste in women as she is also very attractive. I wish I was her.

      I first met John Malkovich at the farmers market near Hollywood. He would stop and smell the fruit and vegetables, touch everything, lick the tomatoes and then, not buy anything arguing they were not fresh enough. That was twenty years ago. He has become more strange with the years. As we both gotten very successful careers in the movie industry he has become what we like to call an “acting blob”. A strange combination of intensity and body softness that makes me shriver. That’s all. I am glad I am not near him either. Sorry Eva. Maybe if you knew him you would know what I am talking about.

    John Malkovich has something that a lot of men don’t have…a magnatism aura of other worldliness and intellect that fascinates me. He is also a very beautiful looking man in a strange sort of way. Although not ‘classically’ beautiful, he has an attractiveness that kind of says that he is a bastard …but a sexy one. I love him.

    Hate is a very strong word, and I don’t use it lightly.
    I can say honestly that I have not seen a lot of Mr. Malkovich’s work- only ‘Johnny English’(2003, starring Rowan Atkinson). In this particular film, he plays a french criminal- He’s not favourite actor in the world but have to say he seemed very convincing by his accent Ann acting skills.
    I suggest that people get to know him better before they just jump in and decide that they hate him (for whatever reason).
    After all, we’re all human at the end of the day whether loved or hated by others.

    hahahahahaha!!!!!
    honestly, i can’t stand John Malkovich.
    i hated him in Of Mice and Men. and i REALLY hated him in that stupid period film w. Leo DiCaprio, Man In the Iron Mask (but that’s because he played a Musketeer, alongside Jeremy Irons and Gerard Depardieu… whom i love).

    thanks for that, then. i’m glad i’m not alone. ; )

    love,

  6. I’d rather Malkovich than say, Buscemi.

    But I’d ultimately prefer the option to not wake up next to someone involuntarily. I wholeheartedly believe in one’s inalienable right to a strangerless morning in bed – it’s in the Constitution. Look it up.

    Poor John Malkovich.

    Love
    Me
