At this point, I’m sort of torn about Elsa Pataky. She definitely leveraged her slight fame years ago (when she was absolutely barely D-list) into what has turned out to be an A-list match with one of the biggest up-and-coming movie stars around, Chris Hemsworth. I often compare the Pataky-Hemsworths to the Garner-Afflecks, but to give Jennifer Garner some credit, Garner had her own fame-base and her own film and TV career before she started with the whole “Patron Saint of Mothers” thing. Elsa really didn’t have anything like that. She’s just a pretty Spanish actress who had done a handful of projects that no one had seen outside of Spain, and she social-climbed her way into an advantageous marriage, and now Elsa is known as “Chris Hemworth’s wife” and “that chick who gets pap’d more often than Jennifer Garner with her baby”. Should we respect her game and her naked ambition? Should we applaud her for being so hungry for attention so openly? I don’t know. That’s why I’m torn.
Anyway, I felt some mild annoyance AND some mild respect that Elsa was able to leverage her marriage and her child into what I’m sure will be the first of many People Magazine stories about how Elsa mothers her baby girl.
Elsa Pataky is used to spending hours in the makeup chair, but with a baby at home the actress has been forced to improvise.
“Before, I could be in the mirror just looking at each eyelash,” the Fast and Furious 6 star tells PEOPLE of her life before becoming a mom.
“Now, I have to learn to look good in a simple way in the morning. You just wash your hair really quick.”
Time in her closet has also been limited for Pataky, 36, since she and husband Chris Hemsworth welcomed daughter India Rose last May.
“I have my daughter running around and I don’t have much time [to say] ‘This doesn’t look good,’” says Pataky, who is featured as Beauty of the Week in PEOPLE’s April 15 issue.
“I have to know what looks good already and just put it on and go.”
The new mom has also extended her carefree fashion to her baby girl.
“I am the worst. I hate to dress her in pink and I don’t know why I have to,” she tells PEOPLE. “Even Chris is [saying] all the time, ‘They think she’s a boy! Can’t you put her in something more girly?’”
But Pataky doesn’t understand the fascination with making the sex of her daughter evident to everyone.
“You put them in pink so everyone knows it’s a girl? Why? Just say it,” she adds. “I think if you are a baby and they are already dressing you in pink, it will make you a princess. I just get blues and greys and whites — all different colors.”
Did anyone just snort-laugh at “Before, I could be in the mirror just looking at each eyelash”? I had a friend like that. God, she was so self-absorbed. We were roommates for a while (years ago), and I swear to God, she would stand in front of the mirror for HOURS looking at herself and playing with her hair and checking out her angles. She would do that for hours every single day. It was insane. So, that was Elsa’s life before she had India Rose? And now she’s anti-pink for her daughter, which is (to me) such a random stance to take. I mean, dress your little girl in pink or white or blue or whatever. Who cares? It’s such a vapid, superficial “stand”.
Here are some more photos of Elsa at the Oceans Ball last week – I still can’t believe how balls-out THRILLED she was to be photographed on a red carpet.
Photos courtesy of Fame/Flynet and WENN.
“the Fast and Furious 6 star” bwahahahaha
LOL- I know!
She was the worst part of that movie! Yes, I saw it….don’t judge me please :). Paul Walker in a tight white tee is everything!
I thought her acting was terrible and I found her accent really strong and hard to understand. I moved to the US when I was 12 and I too had a thick accent so I am hyper aware of those things.
But I am always hearing she meets her men through her dialect coach or whatever and it’s obvious he is better at matchmaking than at coaching because I could barely understand anything she said in the movie, plus she isn’t that good in general, acting wise!
I have never heard of her or seen her in anything…but her face is GORGEOUS. She really is stunning.
The film was on German TV yesterday and I couldn’t believe she’s in it!
I don’t know what he sees in her. She has a beautiful face, but she seems so bland and arrogant.
Dont be dissing Fast and furious franchise. Those movies are awesome. lol
I’m surprised they didn’t mention her turn in Snakes on the Plane. That was her break-out role.
She was in snakes on a plane? Cause I’ve watched that movie and I can’t remember her in it
Then don’t dress her in pink you like you did in the first photo.
Yeap! hahahaha
I would like to second that very spot-on observation. Or third it, at this point. A few times, at that.
I concur; why is this C List actress/famewhore getting a title heading? Oh I know because she is riding her almost A List husband coattail all the way to the top.
We don’t dress our daughter in very much that is pink. But there is a LOT of pretty non-pink clothing.
But this sounds like she’s making a big deal of it because she can’t think of anything else to say.
A (allegedly) climber trying to come across as some sort of feminist with some level of substance? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
ps: fast and furious 6? Thank God my CBman (Paul Walker) is not that famous, phew! there is not a chance she would leave Chemboy for him. What a relief!
It’s not that random. I can’t tell you how many people told me I needed to dress my baby in pink so people would know she’s a girl. Some people really think it’s crucial that everyone can tell if it’s a boy or a girl. They are the same people who freak out if you assume the baby is a different gender/ask what gender the baby is and get really obsessed with making sure their baby’s nursery is totally girly or boyish.
I had no idea how big of a deal it was to so many people before I had a kid, and like Elsa I dressed my baby in neutrals largely to spite all the idiots who wanted me to clip a giant pink bow onto my kids handful of hairs.
Good for you. Honestly, the pink/blue thing annoys the hell out of me. No, I don’t have kids but I think it’s bizarre that society says you have to chose one of two colors in order to define your baby’s sex. I feel the same way about getting a baby’s ears pierced in order to show that she’s a girl. If you want your kid to wear pink because you like the color, that’s fine but who cares whether people can tell if she’s a girl or not?
It’s a child—let it be a child, for crying out loud and don’t worry about society’s need to “genderfy”.
Agree! I cannot STAND all the pink/purple plastic toys as well! CRINGE! And, any little girl who demands to wear ONLY pink? Arrrggghhh! Parents and relatives please take note: there are other purchases you can make in a wide variety of colors to dress your girls. RANT OVER.
Well that’s the difference. People tell you that you have to, but YOU know that you dont actually HAVE to. At the end you decide. My favorite color since I was old enough to care about clothes, was baby-blue. If I ever have a daughter, it’s gonna be a whole lot of sky-blue dresses all the freaking time. Cinderella would OD.
Yeah I completely agree with all that you said–I just think it’s a bit annoying that if your little girl ends up being bald and wearing blue, that people will assume she’s a boy. Again, I’m not trying to get too outraged about this–I just think it would be nice to see us steer away from the preconceived notions that really just stem from gender-stereotyping. I would see that as a bit of progress plus then maybe parents would have more color options for baby clothes.
@Babyswans-I definitely don’t judge how you chose to dress your child-drape her in pink bows or lacey things or whatever you chose-I’m sure she’ll look adorable regardless 🙂 I just think it’s cool to have options.
I don’t judge you for not putting her in pink or putting bows in her hair. We wear bows & have some pink-I’m not an idiot. Don’t judge me either:)
I did once the giant mistake to dress my boy in pink romper. (present from a disapponted girl-lover).
We went for a walk and a woman started cooing “What a cute girl!!”
I said “Hm, he’s a boy actually”
With a smile and pointed look at the romper: “But you certainly wanted a girl, right?”
Me: “Hm, no, not really, I always wanted a boy”
She, trully indignantly. “But he wears PINK!”
Me:”Hm, yes, everything else is in the washing mashine. He fills his outfits up to the ears hourly…
She turned and left without a word.
Nowadays you could truthfully say men wear pink! They really do. And not just because of laundry accidents involving red clothing.
I overdosed on pink as a child, my parents thought that was what to do with a girl. Pink walls, pink dresser, pink bed, and I assume as many pink clothes they could muster until I was old enough to just say no…. When finally given a choice on a new paint job, I was pretty much “anything but pink!” and we compromised on a light green. I never wear pink now, I’m allergic to it. I’m even reluctant to put a pink collar on a cat unless I can’t find anything else. One boy cat did look rather nice in pink, though, but black cats look good in just about anything. I try to stick with yellow, red, or blue collars… Black for cats with a lot of white fur. The current black cat does have some pink in her collar but it’s mixed tightly with other colors and besides she’s just a blur whizzing by so I don’t notice the pink.
In the photo of her bareback I thought she was Renée Zellweger!
Me too! She looks like her twin in that one..then further down, in last pic, her face looks like Kristen Bell! She is pretty.
Remember when Adrien Brody bought her a castle? Yea, that’s all I think about with her.
“have to” “have to” ????? Since when? The 1950’s?
In the first picture, she looks a bit like Jennifer Saunders (of Ab Fab fame).
I looked again…you’re right, she does. A pity she doesn’t have even a thimbleful of Jennifer’s talent, intellect and wit.
She does! Im watching Ab Fab right now. Kooky.
To me since she had some tweaking done, she looks like Claire Forlani-ish a la “Meet Joe Black”.
I hate her hair.
With her eyes she would be so striking with dark hair. That cheap-looking blonde really washes her out.
Agree. Pretty face, terrible hair.
+1
Aww, I’m convinced she discovered the wheel AND the hot water in ONE afternoon since she’s become a mother.
You don’t actually HAVE to dress her in pink if you don’t want to. And the truth is, no one gives a crap if you do or don’t. Everytime i look at pictures of her eye-fucking the camera, especially on red carpets, i feel nauseous. She’s is famewhore through and through, that’s for sure.
“Everytime i look at pictures of her eye-fucking the camera, especially on red carpets, i feel nauseous.”
Yup, same with me. It’s a triumphant look, isn’t it? Like she’s ACTUALLY accomplished something (career-wise).
Well, Chris basically IS her career accomplishment.
We all know Hemsworth is her career accomplishment.
But you know what I meant: the look on her face is the triumphant “I’m famous” look (disregarding the “ONLY because of my husband” part). God, I’m hating hard now…
Anna, let me leave this thread, woman!
Fine, Eve, take it, take it all!
LOL! you know the other gold digger/famewhore who always has the same look—Hilaria (that name!) Baldwin! UGH. So smug. I cannot stand it!
I know many of you really don’t like her.. but i think she is beautiful and they make a really hot couple. She’s got the hottest Hemsworth brother for sure.
…says the woman who went blonde to get more jobs because that is what actresses do.
I didn’t dress my daughter all girly girl as an infant either. She exhibits interest in ‘both genders’ when it comes to how she dresses now but, honestly, when they’re infants it DOES NOT MATTER. Also, I wanted to make sure I wasn’t pigeonholing her. Her fave colours now are purple and grey /shrug
Can anyone PLEASE ID her striped cardigan in the second picture. So in love with it.
I’m not going to say anything, I’m not going to say anything, I’m not going to say anything, I’m not going to say anything, I’m not going to say anything…
*slowly backs away from thread*
Where the hell do you get the self-restraint? 🙂 My claws are out 🙂
@Eve: Is that you?! Am I influencing you with my Pollyanna ways? *in utter shock*
No way. You’ll become a cynic like me before I (ever) have a Pollyanna moment.
I’m just afraid my teeth actually explode (out of anger) if I try to write about this trick.
I’m serving some side eye to Elsa with a good “bitch, sit down” for good measure. It’s a good thing CB doesn’t post any of her Spanish interviews, you would really see why this women is so annoyingly extra.
Aww, come on! Eve, you know you want to! At least…I want you to! LOL Loves it.
*stomps feet really hard on the ground*
But I don’t want to be Pataky’s resident “hater” on CB!!!
I should ignore this bitch. By talking about her I’m giving her EXACTLY what she wants: ATTENTION!!!
GAH! I’m outta here.
Hear, hear, on the “vapid stand”! My sister-in-law was like that too – mostly as a slap towards me and my girly-girl who LOVED all things pink and dressy. Funny thing, once her daughter could talk, she wanted out of the dull browns and greens and into pink as well. It’s often just what little girls like; the fact some people hate it says more about their own feelings towards girls and women than about the colour itself. Embrace it – it doesn’t last long – you won’t have the opportunity to have fun with their clothes for very long.
Most kids are attracted bright colors. My 6-yr-old son has always like pink and purple, along with orange, red, yellow, etc. Same for all of my nephews and nieces — if you let them pick there own clothes, they often choose bright colors.
At least girls get to wear all colors. Where I live, pink is not a possibility for boys after they are school age (except for maybe dress clothes), unless they want to get teased. We still sneak in purple, which is somewhat more acceptable to the peer group.
I can think of other ‘wives/girlfriends of’ that have not been as caustically criticized (think Stacey Kiebler) by the author as Elsa. For no apparent reason. She may not appear to be the brightest bulb in the sunbed in that interview, but I find her completely harmless.
I think it’s because (1) people are still pissed at how she treated Adren (sp?) Brody and (2) she comes across as a blatant user (unlike Stacy Kiebler, where both parties know what they’re getting into and Kiebler seems realistic about her career trajectory).
(I don’t have strong feelings about her either way.)
Adrien Brody is a big boy…and who isn’t a user in Hollywood? I think there’s an unusual amount of venom being thrown in her direction.
I do hate how most clothing items for baby girls are pink or pink-adjacent – I dont have any kiddies of my own but ‘play aunt’ to the kids of several girlfriends, all of whom have daughters. That said, I’ve bought plenty of girls’ clothes – infant to 6 yo – in all sorts of non-pink colors, and I have nowhere close to Elsa’s resources. You don’t HAVE to dress your kid in anything you don’t want to. Nobody is forcing you. But I guess you NEED something to talk about in a People Mag interview, you CANT talk about how hard it is to balance motherhood and career because the latter is practically non-existent and your husband is a super hands-on dad, so lets make up a fake crisis and get everyone talking about you some more. After all, you can’t ride Miley’s engagement drama forever!
this bish ain’t saying anything that I didn’t do exactly 20 years ago with my then new born.
I outfitted her in mint green on purpose even knowing her gender months b4. I think that whole blue/pink thing sucks a whole lotta dick anyways.
sorry I’m so grumpers. but I’m typing this on my iPhone from the bus from hell in Hoboken!
Not even Master of Puppets is getting me outta this funk!
Arrrggggghhhhhh! 👿
@RHONYC. The morning commute is a total sh-tter. Hang in there;)
thanx!
i was in a MURDEROUS MOOD earlier.
got me to thinking those postal workers are highly misunderstood individuals. 😆
“I’m the worst, I don’t want to and I don’t know why.” What a mess of a statement. I get what she’s saying but she definitely should’ve left out the “I’m the worst” part completely and then re-phrased the “I don’t want to and I don’t know why I have to”. Girl, you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to.
Aw I am sure she could find some baby clothes in safari chic if she wanted to!
@Relli –
Oh Relli you are the WORST! (by which I gleefully mean, the BEST!) 😉
I think she was so pumped on the Oceana red carpet because compared to the rest of the D-List and C-List people at that event, she was one of the more famous ones (pains me to type that.)
All of her red carpet appearances are for Chris, where people could not care less about her and I imagine are actively telling her to get out of the shot so they can shoot Chris with his costars or by himself. But at the Oceana Ball- she gets shot by herself! Like a real live celebrity! Woo-Hoo!
“All of her red carpet appearances are for Chris, where people could not care less about her and I imagine are actively telling her to get out of the shot so they can shoot Chris with his costars or by himself.”
Just like she did with Brody, remember? He even tried to make people notice her, by hugging her all the time and looking at her adoringly (while she LOOKED INTO THE CAMERAS).
I could be wrong but I think Brody also tried to help her build up a career in the US (but since he wasn’t all the famous anymore, therefore riding his coattails wasn’t enough to give her that, she dumped him — while he was still very much in love with her).
So….this is the part that didnt really make sense to me: to go from Brody to OMartinez? Seems like a downgrade, non?
Maybe Brody finally confronted her about her famewhoring ways (something I feel will eventually happen with Hemsworh, by the way)…I don’t know.
A blind item I read a while ago would explain perfectly why Brody could have been still in love but upset with her, but then again, it was a blind item (if it’s true, he was still with her when it happened — and it’s so very gross).
@Eve- I’m pretty sure I know the blind you’re talking about. Honestly I wouldn’t put ANYTHING past this woman to stay relevent some how.
@Eve –
I think Hems breakup scenario depends heavily on his career trajectory. So far he seems to be making good choices, working with the right people (Mann, Howard, Spielberg almost happened), trying to diversify. My personal theory is that he needs to try his hands at a comedy, in a supporting role, because he does seem to have good timing, and, despite how much I’d want him to be one, a dramatic heavyweight he is not. If he plays his [work] cards right, Tacky is here to stay, and he seems sufficiently charmed with her to let go of any sort of shenanigans.
But if his career stalls, her eye might start to wander and she’ll play it like she just ‘fell out of love’ or they ‘grew apart’ – I remember this interview she gave when she described her views on commitment/fidelity in terms of ‘I don’t think you can be in love with more than one person at a time.’ So, I guess if it’s her heart that changed its mind (ahem), she really cant be faulted!
@ Marty:
You know why I believe it’s true? Because I had been following the career of one of the parties involved (not Brody, by the way) BEFORE I read the blind item — and was surprised when I read about the man’s wife suddenly kicking him out of their house (because it made no sense at the time — there had been no apparent reason for it).
I kept reading about him still being very much into her (his wife) and that a family friend got involved and helped them clear things up (explaining to the wife that he hadn’t cheated on her like she was told by paparazzi-related sources) and I didn’t understand what was going on with them.
A few months later I saw the blind item “When F-listers Attack”. Everything made sense then.
I wasn’t trying to make the events fit the BI’s narrative — no, the BI just happened to explain the sequence of events perfectly!
@ Eve & Marty –
Well, thanks you guys, now _I’m_ totally lost. I think I can surmise the context but not all the parties involved.
@ Anna:
The blind item mentioned an F-lister who asked HER paparazzi friends to spread the rumour that she was having an affair with her C-list co-star — simply because she wanted to cause a stir and have people talking about her.
His wife heard about it and was so convinced it was true (the affair) she kicked him out of the house. Later on, a (very close) family friend, who also had her sources among paparazzi, investigated a little and found out it wasn’t true, so she intervened and the couple reconciled. So, basicaly this woman (whoever that is) asked people to start a rumour in order to raise her profile in the US, regardless of a family’s well-being.
It’s just a blind item, I know. But I’ll be damned if the answers aren’t:
Thomas Jane: the C-list actor;
Patricia Arquette: the wife;
Courteney Cox: the family friend;
Elsa Pataky: the F-lister.
P.S.: At the time, I was crushing hard on him because of The Mist and was baffled to read about Arquette dumping him (out of the blue, I swear). Was even more surprised when she took him back just a few months later. Not a bit surprised, however, when I read the BI and checked his IMDb page to see he was in a movie with Pataky RIGHT when that happened (“Give’em Hell, Malone”).
@Eve- yes to all of that. It makes sense non? Almost every gossip
site out there that knows their history knows the games Elsa plays. Hell, even Lainey from Laineygossip still makes fun of her til this day because Elsa doesn’t even try and hide her game.
@Anna- You know I kind of see CH as a Tom Hanks type, started on Tv, did mostly one type of films(comedies), then with the right material he was able to branch out. I think Chris is a good actor, not great, but good. He has the potiental to be great given the right role(s). These next couple of years will be crucial for him to see if he can substain any kind of career outside action/superhero movies.
I feel like such a gossip novice…
@Marty –
Hm, interesting take on CH career. Thoughts on the RUSH trailer? I was surprised that Hemsy looks pretty decent in it, though the accent is atrocious. That dialect coach is only good for finding Wagon (Tacky) her next ride… Also interesting just how VERY different are the US vs Europe trailers for the movie. By the way this is where I start complaining that I live in Moscow and RUSH doesnt even have a Russia release date, so most likely it won’t come out here and WHY GOD, WHY?!?!?! >.<
I know nothing about Formula 1, so I can’t really say it catches my eye all that much. I will say that it is a good sign the the produces moved the (us) release date from Feb to Sept of this year. That’s award season so it shoes they have high hopes for the movie.
My BFF recently had a baby girl. I’ve seen her wear nothing but pink, and her nursery looks like the inside of a Pepto bottle with Pepto accents. It’s not for me, but it’s her choice (for now). I think it’s silly to make a stand over something as silly as the colour of your baby’s clothes. Surely there are more serious issues in the world.
Georgina, you’re correct of course. There is an clear exception to this wisdom, though. If you are one of Brad & Angelina’s kids, everything you wear must be mocked- so many hand-me-downs and boy/tom boy clothes! Angelina is a terrible mother- you can tell by her kids’ clothes- the horror!! Please note the sarcasm. As far as Elsa is concerned, her statement isn’t ground breaking, but if it gets somone with hurtful gender biases to be a little more open minded, then that’s great.
I adore pink and my daughter looked like she was dipped in Pepto most days. I have a few pink shirts for my son too – he’s a redhead and it looks great on him.
I even got my husband in pink recently – you, I think all of this may, in fact, be my fault.
is it me or doesn’t the babe seem to totally be trying to get away from the mom.
she seems more comfortable when papa is holding her, no? 😆
I know I am much more comfortable when CHemboy holds me than her…
😆 you so crazy! 😆
I don’t recall ever wearing pink as a little girl and certainly not now. I have dark hair and dark eyes and pastels are simply horrid looking on me.
It hasn’t impacted my identity, femininity or self esteem in the least.
Kids should just be kids, most people wanting gender specific colors may want to worry more about how to appreciate and develop a child’s character rather than molding them into a stereotype.
I never wear pink because I’m so very ginger and look like holy hell in pink. Never wore it as a child because I grew up in a children’s home where we had uniforms for school and kind of a uniform dressing system for off school hours as well.
yeah, but i bet you look spectacular in all shades of green (ya know…orange’s complimentary color from the color wheel)!
i L-O-V-E redheads. 😉
Blue is my best color. Green is good, but I feel like I look like an advert for Ireland, between the red hair, Mayo blue eyes, and brogue I can’t shake completely.
Wow! Beautiful couple. I don’t know who they are but both are gorgeous.
I don’t understand why she says “have to” dress her kid in pink. There are no have to’s in parenting other than the obvious (food, clothes, shelter, affection)…everything else is up to the parents.
Kids decide who they are regardless of what the hell you think or do…so you can dress a girl up as Bob the Builder but if she wants to be a princess you’ll be buying sparkly dresses in no time. If you dress her in sparkly dresses but she wants to be Bob the Builder you’ll be looking for yellow hard hats. They know who they are and what they like long before they know how to articulate it. It’s us adults who muck it all up and confuse them.
She better be glad she’s gorgeous. It detracts from her insipid qualities. No one is telling her she has to dress her daughter in pink. She’s trying to sound profound here. As for her Fast 6 role, she was horrid in Fast 5 and I find it interesting she hasn’t been in ONE Fast 6 trailer for more than a blink.
You would think that two disgustingly attractive people would have had a cuter baby.
YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH!!! That baby is adorable and is the spitting image of her father! She’s so sweet and seems so cuddly. 😀
You know I’d be more concerned about her angst and profound statements if the baby wasn’t in pink in the pic. I’ve been looking at it all day – yep it’s pink.
IDK who this girl is but I’m guessing she’s trying to sound mature and philosophical? Epic fail but trying.
Hemsworth in that t-shirt = DILF Heaven 😳
Why so much hate for Elsa whoever? How does one decide how much famewhoring is worthy of being tolerable or intolerable? She’s in the business of entertainment where if one does not have talent, people resort to famewhoring to be famous. Actually people do that in all professions to climb the work ladder. So she used Brody. BFD. He’s not so naive and innocent to not have understood what they both wanted from the relationship. Seriously for all the poor Brody sentiments, these actors always almost continue dating models and get-famous-quickly types. They don’t seem to be learning and that’s because they can’t help themselves falling for beautiful women who are in abundant in the industry, and hey, they also understand that the women seek to build on their network through the man’s status. Elsa is no different from the next person in hollywood (famewhores, I mean). She’s just someone who used to spend a lot of time focusing on each eyelash and has nothing interesting to say. Still, the Thor married her. What does it say about him?
Mira, I understand your point but Brody seemed to be genuinely in love with her.
I don’t think he was aware he was being used — just like I don’t think he was using her.
Eve, I don’t know. Even Brody’s genuine love for her and that she did a number on him does not bother me much. In principle it’s terrible behavior but we should stop looking at these hollywood affairs from our point of view or how things are understood in our (non-hollywood) side of the world. I’m sure Brody understands and knows these fleetly affairs are common in hollywood and are nothing to raise an eyebrow about. Meaning they live in an environment vastly different from ours and should therefore be understood from within that social environment. This is not to say that Brody wasn’t heartbroken or something but it was telling that he knew the relationship dynamics when he posed with her for a magazine with all those dreamy castle love and castle pictures. I like Brody, but I can’t or still don’t understand the hate for Elsa, who is just another person who loves being famous and glamorous. She’s really a non-entity at best.
I understand Hollyweird relationship dynamics is different than ordinary people’s. I do. But it still angers me when I see such a shameless famewhore’s shenanigans working in her favour.
And Pataky is probably the only non-entity (as you say) who bothers me. You rarely see me commenting on people like the Kardashians or Leann Rhimes. That’s because I truly like his acting. And I find him a decent human being — his taste for women and fashion choices notwithstanding.
I also think that what bothers me the most isn’t necessarily that she broke his heart — he’s a grown man like someone else said above. She did a number on him, but what truly infuriates me is that their relationship did a number on his career. I think she manipulated him into posing for those editorials, photo-ops and interviews — that they’d give together, (something Hemsworth seems to be avoiding for now). That ruined his reputation — and his career may never recover from that.
So…as a fan of his acting, I find it unfair that his career took such a hit because of everything he did for/in order to please this woman. He seems to be a really nice guy (NEVER heard or read anything bad about him related to the way he treated co-workers, press and fans) and a talented actor. He didn’t deserve this.
P.S.: Sorry for the rant.
Eve, I completely understand your intolerance for Pataky (somehow I find it difficult to remember her last name. I like it that someone changed it to Tacky instead). I see where it’s coming from and I respect your sentiment. I love Brody and would really like to see him back on screen, but I just can’t get attached to what happened to him in his personal life because of Tacky. Yes, it’s unfair that his affair with Tacky drowned his career, but you know what’s more interesting to me is that Brody’s career took a hit because of an affair, which is a personal matter. I never understood this about Ben Affleck too – why the JLo phase hit him so hard career-wise. The reaction from the industry is so fucking strange. These things are so common in Hollywood one would imagine no one in the industry gives a flying fuck to what actors do in their personal life. Scandals, promiscuity, famewhoring etc keep happening in Hollywood and so I assume people within the industry react very differently from how the public reacts to celebrity gossip. So yeah, Tacky used him and is to blame but what about the industry? Hasn’t the reaction from within the industry done more harm to Brody’s career post Tacky? Isn’t it time that the industry get past his affair with Tacky and give him another chance?
Sorry for dragging on, on this.
I agree with you and I especially like the comparison you’ve made (with JLo/Affleck).
But I have no idea why they’re not giving him a second chance. Well, maybe I do: the public felt too much second-hand embarrassment for him and many stopped watching his movies. He lost his leading man appeal — nobody liked cheesy, p*ssy-whipped Brody.
They (people in the industry) won’t hire a box-office poison actor…
Unfortunately, he made some shite films and that didn’t help. He has horrible taste in women and clothing, as my friend Lia likes to say, but he’s a good man.
Hey, I heard on another thread that Tacky had previously done some skin flicks and that her husband found out about them after the marriage. I do hope for all involved that this is not true and just a horrible rumor. Any truth to this? If so, I definitely don’t think she’s good enough for him.
I ran a google search and you can find the skin flicks in question. They’re very racy. I find it hard to believe Chris didn’t know about them. The clips are even up at forums
One of the luckiest women on the planet!
I hate the vibe she radiates – so fame game.
Unfortunately though, I have to agree with the pink thing… My ten month old is beautiful but with her hair at that weird stage we keep getting asked old ‘he’ is, what’s ‘his’ name. It makes you a bit over the top defensive in a weird way, but I try to laugh or just brush it off.
Her meal ticket is hot!
You know what I find it way worse then the genderfying ?
The “Princess” thing, your daughter can be a beautiful, intelligent, charismatic girl, but why she needs to be a freaking princess? With all the pink excess, plastic, glitter and fakery.
I blame Disney! Worse thing, the other day I was with my friend’s daughter reading her some books, and I found a Disney a Princesses booklet collection, they had like 5 pages each book , Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Bella…
And they would ALL go like this:
” I am Princess X, these are my friends, and this is my Prince Charming ,he makes me so happy. I love him and he loves me forever. The End.
I find it truly appalling.
I have a friend in PR who has worked with the Hemsworth bros. They are both on the dumb and shallow side. Nice, but not deep and so wonderful like everyone seems to try and attribute to them. Just nice dopey pretty boys.
Well, then that explains why he’s with EP as she seems to fit that mold, too, although her looks are somewhat from plastic. (Hope the baby doesn’t get her real nose.) Chris won the good looks lottery, perhaps not the other.
