Gabriel Aubry’s pickup line: ‘you’re purtier than Kim Kardashian.’ Would you pass?


This is probably my favorite photo side by side I’ve ever made. It’s from 2010

Ok, so that’s not exactly what Gabriel Aubry allegedly said to a woman who spurned his advances, but it’s close. We know that Gabriel maybe fake-dated Kim for a while to make Halle Berry jealous when their split was still fresh. He may have liked Kim or at least admired her dermatologist’s handiwork, because he used her as an example of beauty in what sounds like the lamest pickup line ever, until you hear another line he reportedly used:

Gabriel Aubry is looking for love, but his cheesy pickup lines are blowing up in his face!

“Since Halle dumped him, Gabriel feels so alone,” an insider told The Enqurier.

“But he’s giving off such a whiff of desperation that he winds up alienating the women he meets.”

On a recent Friday night, the hunky 36 year-old French Canadian model hit on a hottie during happy hour at the popular Mexican restaurant and bar El Compadre in Los Angeles.

“In his most super suave move, Gabriel asked her, ‘Has anyone ever told you that you’re more beautiful than Kim Kardashian?'” said the source.

The flabbergasted girl laughed in his face, according to the source.

At another recent Hollywood party, Aubry… Approached three gorgeous aspiring actresses.

“Gabriel told them, ‘I’m here by myself tonight, ladies, but I certain don’t intend to go home that way. Are any of you fine women interested in going for a ride to check out the view from Mulholland Drive?'” said the source.

“His come on went over like a lead balloon. The girls smiled at each other and then wandered off…

“Deep down Gabriel is basically a nice guy,” said the source. “But nothing turns a women off more than a man who comes on as too needy.”

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, April 2, 2012]

So if an incredibly beautiful tall, gorgeous (I could go on) hunk of man like Gabriel Aubry moseyed up to you and said either of these things you wouldn’t go home with him or even give him your number, would you? More than these lame lines, it’s the neediness aspect that makes even the best specimens look unattractive. I once went out with a guy who looked like Keanu Reeves, but he just called me so much and seemed so into me that I couldn’t reciprocate. There’s a fine line between being open and accessible as a potential boyfriend and just seeming like you can’t cope and are clingy. I hope none of this is true at all, though. Aubry seems like a nice guy, but not like he’s this stupid or needy. Even if he is, there are plenty of women who would look up at that, smile and thank their lucky stars. L.A. is a different story. It’s like its own little world.

This might be true, though. “Beautiful” Kim Kardashian is said to be the one who dumped Gabriel back in late 2010, right before she started dating Kris Humphries. Memories.

Here’s Gabriel doing what he does best, being a hot dad. These photos are from yesterday. Gabriel took Nahla to The Grove, so he knew he’d be photographed.

    He’s obviously going through something. I used to have a HUGE crush on him but once you lay down with a Kardashian there is no way to take that stench off. Now I just feel sorry for him because of his problems with Halle. I think its going to be tough for him to date until he gets that whole thing settled.

    • Maguita says:

      I thought his “date” with Kim Kardashian was an attempt to get his LA career going? You know, you “date” someone more popular than you, and you end up being talked about, i.e. marketed to the general public?

      But that didn’t work. Either he wasn’t into a Kardashian, or she didn’t like them white….errr, I meant she preferred “guys in sports”.

      I’ve seen him up close, very cute, but surprisingly unassuming. Don’t forget though, he was an international model, and he must know how to approach beautiful women, and also, he knows what real beautiful women look like.

      CB – you are one finicky b! Do you prefer your guys a bit on the bad and arrogant side?

      • mln76 says:

        I really don’t care if it was just PR or whatever the fact that he laid down with a Kardashian whether literally or figuratively is just disgusting.

    • ZooBug says:

      HELLO! They went to one basketball game together. He was subsequently read the riot act by Halle and never saw her again.

      It was a laps in judgement and had NOTHING to do with his career.

      Thank you.

  2. k says:

    Sounds like a model doesn’t know how to have a real conversation. I’m shocked.

    • Loulou says:

      Sounds like something KK’s BFF Chaban would plant.

    • Tiffany says:

      I agree, this story doesn’t sound believable AT ALL.

      • MW says:

        Put me down as a non-believer too! Are you kidding? Look at all the people who recognize him and are taking pictures above. 3 chicks in a bar turned him down due to some supposed dumb “come on”? No friggin’ way.

      • Stephanie says:

        I agree.

      • Stephanie says:

        And I would hit that like a house on fire.

    • ZooBug says:

      I agree with you Enny. Now is a good time for her to do such a thing in order to make Gabriel look bad.

      Halle’s off in France and Gabriel’s in charge of Nahla while she’s away. Perfect time for Halle to further humiliate a good and honest man.

  3. kristipistol says:

    Well, I would give him a quick course on how to pick up a woman, let him try it out and then YESSSS, I would hit it. Needy or not!!!!!

    • Leikyn says:

      I’d hit it w/o the crash course. I don’t need him to speak.

      • CG says:

        Same here. I really don’t care what he has to say. He could grunt and I’d be like, “Alright, take your pants off!” 😉

      • moonriver says:

        I would hit that like a drum. Words aren’t necessary either haha. He’s too pretty to talk.

      • Lurker says:

        Same here. This man could be covered in flies and I would still say YES. I do not believe this story of anyone turning him down.

    • ZooBug says:

      Gabriel is a wonderfully easy going down to earth guy with a hell of a lot more grace than what this ridiculous article is attempting to portray him as.

      Don’t you think that “picking up chicks” is the last thing he’d be thinking of at a time like this? When he trying so hard to keep his beloved daughter from being taken from him?

  4. cmc says:

    Nahla is SO cute! Yeah I get what you mean about desperation being so, so gross…but I don’t usually see Gabriel-Aubry-type hot dudes. I’d probably go home with him anyway! 🙂

    I wonder if this awful custody battle and being dragged through the mud by his balls has shattered his confidence. Sad- hope he meets a nice lady. Or doesn’t, and continues to be a good dad. Team Aubry!

  5. Redheadwriter says:

    Nahla is a beautiful girl.

    • beanie says:

      She certainly is. She is going to be a stunner when she grows up. Poor thing seems Suri Cruise stunned by all the pap flashes in her little eyes.

  6. Leticia says:

    I seriously doubt that this guy would ever say those things. Cause a guy this hot does not have to speak to have his way! All he has to do is look at you and smolder.

    • Tina says:

      I agree didn’t Halle say she hit on him during a vogue shoot cause he was too shy? My brother and my ex are like that. Women throw themselves at these types of uberhot men

    • MW says:

      You got that right Leticia.

  7. dahlianoir says:

    The poor guy is clearly hungry.

    • ZooBug says:

      Hungry for justice and to have his name cleared so he can get on with his life and keep his beloved daughter close to him.

  8. Jenna says:

    I’d hit it then quit it. His pretty face doesn’t make up for potential drama with his baby mama.

  9. Tiffany27 says:

    The pics of Nahla are the most interesting part of this story. What a beautiful little girl!

  10. Chelle says:

    Being told you are more beautful than a botoxed cat face isn’t really a compliment!!

  11. Dawn says:

    Nah I don’t buy this.

  12. Dena says:

    Trotting a kid out for publicity purposes? Oh my.

    • ZooBug says:

      False accusation. Do you understand that Hollywood is as infested with paparazzi and a cheese factory is with rats? It’s impossible to go anywhere unseen if you are famous. There are informants among them all trying to make a buck. They work in teams.

  13. Mimi says:

    Her dress….wtf is that dress??

  14. Alexis says:

    HAHAHA! This story is crap. He’s hot as HELL. Cheesy pick up line or not, most women would go home with him. #justsayin

  15. Eve says:

    Shame.

    “I’ve been trying to avoid crazy women lately and, fortunately, you seem to be sane enough” would work so much better.

  16. BK says:

    Why is this even news? It’s such irrelevant fluff.

    With all the crap this poor guy has gone through, it’s awful that people would put a story like this out at all, much less repeat it on a site like this.

    Why not write about how Berry seems to only wear her cast in the US for the Paps but pics of her in Paris show her doing everything without any sort of cast or cane?

  17. Wendi says:

    Is this an attempt from Camp Berry to make the guy look pathetic?

    I don’t believe this for a second.

  18. aenflex says:

    yeah, i would let him take me to mulholland drive no problem.

  19. The Original Mia says:

    Why would he mention Kim? He went on 1-2 dates with her. I doubt he’s even trying to date with Halle watching his every move. That said…if he wants a slightly crazy 41 yo, give me a call.

  20. Msirene says:

    I don’t believe that he is “needy” for a woman, at all. I’ll just bet that this man has more offers than he can handle and is just very careful of who he approaches, after dealing with a nutcase like Halle.

    What he really needs is a good, ordinary, country girl like me!

    • ZooBug says:

      Ha! That’s awesome!!! 😀 I love your attitude Msirene and I hope he calls you up. 😀

  21. maemay says:

    Ummm NO! sounds like a plant from Berry especially considering how torn apart she was over Aubrey fake dating Kim.

    • ZooBug says:

      Here! Here!!! You tell ’em Maemay!!! 😀

      I’m SO GLAD that most of you who are writing in don’t believe a word of this balderdash.

  22. mar says:

    Im taking this one with a grain of salt. I think the media is always trying to make him look bad.

    I think he is a good guy, a cheesy line here or there that he supposedly said will not change that.

  23. OXA says:

    Sounds like more PR crap straight from KK” or HB’s camp either to garner a headline or make him look bad. From what I read, Gabe quietly dumped Berry cos she is crazy. I doubt he would dive into anything serious with KK, poor thing just accepted a ticket to a game at the holidays and he was papped.

  24. Dap says:

    Well, he did dated HB for several years and make her a child. So he can be too bright

  25. mymy says:

    Oh sure he did. A person who looks like this needs to say very little. This is so an attempt by someone to make him look like a douche. And let me state for the record he could say just about anything and women would still not laugh in his face. This man is beyond handsome.I doubt he is as alone as he pretends to be. Halle goes even more crazy when he has a woman involved. He needs more crazy like a hole in the head. He is trying to regain some footing in parental role. And he must stay single. been there done that. I personally think he should flaunt a beautiful woman in her face make her even crazier make her do things a judge would take the child from her over. He needs to push her over the edge.

  26. Lee says:

    Where did the story on Halle hunting for schools in Paris go?

  27. FrowninPabloDread says:

    I really do not believe this for these reasons.

    1. He is super sexy
    2. He would not have to say anything. Most women, who know anything about him, would sympathy bang him.
    3. Do you really think he went out with KK to bang her because she so desirable or just to get some media attention. (this reasoning keeps my repulsion down)
    4. Isn’t this the same rag mag (my granny used to read it) that uses psychics to predict celebrity futures and aliens.
    5. A lot of ladies like a Dad who appears to dote on their babies.

  28. Happy21 says:

    I am not buying this for one single second. I think this is the work of Halle Berry and those who do her bidding.

    The media and Halle especially are always trying to make him out to be a bad guy.

    I just don’t see this as the truth.

  29. Eleonor says:

    If he is really THAT desperate he should start to date Jennifer Love Hewitt.

  30. Fyofeelings says:

    He’s fine but he’s just as crazy as his baby mama so I would hit it and quit it.

    • ZooBug says:

      No he is not crazy. He is perfectly sane and willing to work peacefully to co-parent Nahla with Halle. He’s had nothing but glowing reviews from court investigators. Do you research stupido!

  31. Deann Baldwin says:

    Seriously….he is good looking in a way. Only problem he would have would be knowing Halle Berry his ex. And her and her matching male accessory look like psychos. I think the KK thing was a photo op as he is too pale for her.

  32. Cinesnatch says:

    A lot of people on here don’t buy this.

    I’m not going to sign onto it either.

    But, let’s remember, he did pick Halle. Whatever the motivation behind hooking his wagon to her star, it hasn’t gone well. And, now, he has to pimp his little girl out to advertise his good fathering skills. Sad.

    • MW says:

      Halle hooked her wagon to him, from what I remember.

    • ZooBug says:

      Cinesnatch, it’s called shopping not pimping. The only “sad” thing here is that the child’s mother is attempting to selfishly remove her from a good and loving Father and exile her to a foreign country so she can shack up with her new boyfriend.

  33. Samantha says:

    Can’t deny the fact that GA is indeed a looker however I simply can’t stand anything that has been associated with a Kartrashian in any capacity so I’d much rather pass!

  34. Mich says:

    On what planet are people who look like that desperate? I spent years watching smart, beautiful women approach my gorgeous male friends and beg to go home with them. My boys didn’t have to do a thing – and they weren’t famous male models who used to date movie stars. Some of them weren’t even too bright (and that is being kind). Didn’t matter.

    What I do believe is that Nahla is going to be SUCH a stunner when she grows up. Those eyebrows! Wow!

  35. Magsey says:

    This stinks of Halle Berry PR

  36. Rux says:

    I doubt all that crap about his pick up lines. I think Kim may have dumped simply because he would never make the kind of money she would be accustomed to.

  37. Daisy says:

    I’ve had guys that look like him and the experience just wasn’t memorable. I’m more attracted to a man’s brain ; )

  38. TXCinderella says:

    I think he is totally hot, but sometimes guys just don’t know what sounds cheesy. My only issue with him would be that Halle had already been there…Ugh!

  39. Sweettart says:

    Someone needs to take him in hand. He seems like such a nice guy and deserves better.

    Rather than trying to pick someone up at a skeezy bar, he should try the produce department at the supermarket on a Friday night. Go up to a female without a ring and say,

    “Excuse, can you tell me the difference between a shallot and an onion?”

    But *be prepared.* He has to actually have a recipe that calls for a shallot that he could conceivably make. Preferably as part of a menu for a meal that he could invite her to.

  40. hmmm says:

    that doesn’t sound needy that just sounds like creepy perv trying to get into your pants

  41. Kim says:

    Cockroaches are prettier than Kim K!

    Its a put down not a compliment.

  42. skuddles says:

    This stupidness sounds like a piece of dog doo flung over from Berry’s camp.

    • ZooBug says:

      LOL!!!! Well said. Talk of poop and Halle Berry in the same sentence go well together. 😀

  43. Original Lucy says:

    Its gotta be from Halle’s camp cause the NE article goes on to say that Gabriel’s anger and control issues wrecked his relationship with Halle…Yeah right…HIS anger and control issues, cause I’m sure she is really easy to live with…HA!

  44. Sarah says:

    Am I the only one who cringes at that woman taking his picture? The paps are one thing – everyone has to earn a living – but members of the public staring and treating him like a freak is just such bad manners. Especially considering he has a child with him. Have some dignity and at least try to pretend that you are not gawking lady.

  45. Sugar says:

    puleeez that article makes him out to be the 3rd long lost a wild & ca-razzy guy!
    what I kinda remember & took from that photo of him w/Kim @ the b ball game was he was newly single & most likely Kims mom was all over it to set them up. I can see the motives from the K klan @ that time but not him. that’s when Halle went bollistic & vowed every evil on him & now we are where we are today with Team A or H or N or H&N. I really hope he is a stand up guy in real life & he just isn’t minding his manners (attorney advice) until this Battle of the Berry is over. I hope he realizes ANY potential girlfriend is his child’s next stepmom. I hope he is putting his daughter first & forefront over hating the lonely life of a single.
    Halle didn’t she jumped into a new relationship pretty fast yet in her mind that’s ok because I really feel for the next serious girlfriend Gabe will have because Halle will make it pure hell on her.
    YIPES I just typed a mouth full but I think it’s because this sanerio playing out is one so many of us have been through or experience with friends or family-no matter who or what it’s the children who suffer. *cue bless the beast & the children by the late & lovely Karen Carpenter* *sigh teardrop* time to refill my coffee cup!

  46. Rachel says:

    His hotness knows no limits!! Halle Berry is too beautiful. The kid simply put is something else

  47. d says:

    I thought I could handle that type of thing until it happened to me and it just turned me off completey, no matter how good looking the guy was, or even how good a father he was. or even that he was a good guy. it was just too…ug. better someone else than me. a desperate man has no critical faculties, no good judgement, no sexiness, confidence, or anything. it’s just too sad to be attractive.

  48. the original bellaluna says:

    Ahh, what a view: Gabe’s ass and Nahla’s adorably cute face! What could be bad?

    (However, if he used a line like that on me, I’m afraid my fist would pass over his pretty face.)

  49. Jaxx says:

    I do believe that is the most exotically beautiful child I have ever seen.

    And I also don’t believe a word about these pickup lines. I doubt Gabriel is trying to pick anyone up at the moment, much less in public in front of tattling witnesses.

  50. Hina says:

    I think Gabriel is a great father and he is getting a raw deal because Halle Belly is a high profile celebrity. Why is it that I find his daughter in photos with him acting more natural and playful than when she is with Halle.

  51. gurtrude says:
