Daniel Bruhl at the London ‘Rush’ premiere: would you hit it or not so much?

I decided to break up some of the photos from last night’s Rush premiere in London, just because you ladies seemed especially pleased when I devoted a post to Daniel Bruhl a few weeks ago. So here are some photos of Bruhl last night at the premiere. Ladies… we need to talk. I think he’s talented, I think he might get an Oscar nomination this year, I think it’s great that he’s getting so much work, but I’m not sure he’s photogenic at all. Maybe he just doesn’t know how to pose and smolder on a red carpet. Maybe his smile is slightly creepy. I don’t know. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’d probably still hit it. I imagine he’s a lot sexier in person.

More photos from the premiere… why did no one tell me that Formula One driver Jenson Button is so HOT? This is my kind of guy – blonde, tall, kind of rugged looking, scruffy. HOT.

Here’s another photo of Chris Hemsworth, because I didn’t want him to feel left out. There are more photos of Chris in the other post, just FYI. Also: Hiddleston didn’t come out to support his true love!!!

At first I didn’t understand why Naomi Campbell was there at all, beyond possibly trying to score a rich guy as her new boyfriend. But then I remembered – she’s tight with Bernie Ecclestone, who owns Formula One.

Sam Riley and his pregnant wife. He’s in Maleficent, you know. And he had lovely things to say about Angelina Jolie.

And finally, poor Liam Hemsworth. He’s avoiding Twerky like the plague, so he came out to support his big brother.

    is it strange that I’m more attracted to Daniel Bruhl simply because he’s playing Niki Lauda?
    Anyway. I’d hit it. Creepy smile or no creepy smile.
    After Jenson Button. Hottest driver on the F1 circuit, hands down (closely followed by Mark Webber IMO). I met him once in a hotel near Silverstone a couple of years ago, he was *lovely*.

    • Anna says:

      Bruhl looks a lot more attractive in motion, both in Rush and Fifth Estate trailers.

    • Spooks says:

      He’s German. That’s enough for me to love him.

    • Bubbles says:

      I haven’t seen him in anything, for which movie do you expect an Oscar-nod?

      And is it strange that I’v heard of Niki Lauda, but not of James Hunt? Also, Bernie Ecclestone and ex-wife Slavica were the funniest looking couple ever.

  2. Birdie says:

    Sam Riley’s wife is german actress Alexandra Maria Lara. As a german, I am so happy for Daniel Brühl’s success! And he worked with Cumberbatch. Brühl is half spanish and you guys should watch him speak it,.. so hot.

    • Elodie says:

      Yeah they met on Control; while watching the movie I was shipping them so hard, and was so happy when it became reality 😀

    • Liv says:

      Didn’t know she’s pregnant, how great for them!

    • Teeny says:

      Yes!!! I have seen him in both Spanish language and German films and he is excellent in both. It really is a shame he’s so unphotogenic, but I’ll give him a pass based on his talent.

  3. Marty says:

    Actually Tom did come, he just didn’t walk the red carpet. Surprisingly.

    • T.Fanty says:

      I know. The one event it wouldn’t have seemed fame-whory to be at, and he skips the red carpet. Poor lamb just can’t get it right.

      • Allons-y Alonso says:

        Hi T.Fanty

        I give him an ‘A’ for effort!

      • Anna says:

        Oh I think we’d totally call it famewhorey. But I would love to see some pics of Hems and Hiddles making out on the red carpet. A much better alternative to what we have.

      • T.fanty says:

        I know. Yet, Cumby goes to a Gaga concert with Mario Testino, Caitlin Moran and a Downton girl and gets all douchey about paps, and nobody here will call him on it.

      • Miss Jupitero says:

        Slipped in through the public entrance. i was astonished. And he wore the same suit and white shirt he wears everywhere. Our dragonfly’s wings are drooping!

      • Sixer says:

        I would call DUC on it if I’d noticed. Honest. I’m beginning to pity little Puddletom. I think he’s trying to be better.

    • Sixer says:

      I was thinking exactly that. And some meanie sat behind him and photographed his phone, which might have been (but probably wasn’t) displaying his own personal tumblr dash. Even I felt sorry for him!

      I would hit Daniel Bruhl.

      OT & PS: a certain dancing video has dampened my Cumby desire. Curses to datalounge.

      • T.fanty says:

        Dammit. I was just about to post on the Cumberthread that I’ll bet he’s an atrocious dancer.

        *off to DL, muttering curses at Sixer*

      • Sixer says:

        Give me five and I’ll post it on the DUC thread. Just gotta get to the end of my chapter.

      • DahliaDee says:

        @Sixer:

        What dancing video?!? Is it this one?

        http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FzfxrxtXZE

        Oh, come on, this one’s actually really cute! Look at all the funny faces he’s pulling!

      • Sixer says:

        Yes! I need eye bleach and a Passion Reignition pill.

      • Miss Jupitero says:

        Really? Photo? What a shameless puppy!

      • Anna says:

        That video just killed me. I am commenting from the Beyond.

        M-J – if you Google Image ‘Tom Hiddleston Rush premiere’ a bunch of shots come up, but all low-rez.

      • EscapedConvent says:

        Are you guys talking about the Cumby-Dancing-to-Thriller video? That’s been there for a long time. It was a wedding reception & he is obviously drunk-dork-dancing.

        I seem to recall it was a private video that Olivia P. took, but it got onto Youtube. I think there was some attempt to have it taken down, since it was a private video, but the cat-eyed alien was outta the bag.

      • DahliaDee says:

        @Sixer

        Back, oh, a year and a half ago, after Series 2 of Sherlock, Third Star and Wreckers, while still in full swing of my DUC crush, I found that video endearingly dorky. Now I cringe the way I imagine you girls do when some video of Tompuppy running around overexcitedly comes out. *sigh* I guess my crushes blind me to the more embarassing bits? Speaking of the everpresent blue suit, at least he got it cleaned between that BFI event last week and the premiere. If you look closer at the photos there were a lot of smudges. And don’t get me started on his shirt at NerdHQ last month. The gunk on his inside collar was something frightfull. That man needs someone to do his laundry. Dammit, where’s that ‘I volunteer’ gif from HG when I need it?

      • Sixer says:

        @ EsCon – that’s the one!

        @ Dahlia – oh, if I’m in mid-crush I forgive them anything and everything. Then suddenly I don’t. Crush over!

  4. Tish says:

    LOVE BRUHL!!! Hope he gets an Oscar nod!

  5. Downton fan says:

    Eeek… Creepy

  6. Allons-y Alonso says:

    I’ve only seen Daniel Bruhl in ‘Inglorious Bastards’ and I thought he was marvellous. I really respect a talent for languages too

  7. Anna says:

    Button definitely has an ASkars vibe going on. But hotter. And British.

  8. Nola says:

    Daniel is super attractive in motion. Plus as someone else mentioned, his ability to speak various languages is hot.

  9. Looney says:

    Ehhhhh I’ll pass.

  10. silken_floss says:

    Thank you but no.

  11. Nola says:

    I had no idea Sam and Alexandra were expecting. Good for them.

  12. T.Fanty says:

    Tiny Daniel Bruhl can be my little pocket of joy. He is quite lovely.

    All I can say on Budget Hemsworth is that if I were his tailor, I would weep. How does he make good clothes look *so* bad?

    Because Miss Jane isn’t here, I will enthusiastically offer to handle Top Shelf Hemsworth’s stick shift. The man can wear a suit.

    • Anna says:

      Why doesnt the unbuttoned shirt bother anyone else? I have no problem with the Hemsworth Chest of Treasures, but it has no place on a red carpet with a 3-piece suit.

    • j.eyre says:

      *Fanty sits in a darkened room with nothing more than a glowing computer screen to illuminate the newsprint smeared on her cheeks from not making it to bed again. Stale scone crumbs surround her as the final drops of Chenin Blanc drip from her overturned glass. A cold wind runs across her neck. She snaps her head to check the only window in the room, shut and latch still firmly in place. A few moments pass and her fear begins to retreat. It is then she hears the distinct resonance of aluminum tipped knitting needles being extract from a well-crafted tapestry bag*

      You’ll do what?, Darling?

      • T.fanty says:

        Okay, firstly, I was drinking a Pervy Tombanger, with a shot of blue curaçao in honor of Chemboy’s eyes.

        And you can’t be mad at me for keeping the fires warm at home while you were out, earning a crust. The boys got lonely, especially after someone shook the fizzy Hiddles and he bubbled over. I did you a service. Just don’t touch the Pomeranians until I’ve had them professionally cleaned. Trust me when I say that Tom Hardy can hold a puppy through anything.

      • j.eyre says:

        Is that where my blue curacao got off to?

        You did me no service, you wanton hussy. You purposely sent me off to that appointment under false pretenses. All I can say is those student’s future partners will thank me one day.

        And yes, I have seen evidence of your home-fires – my Chippendale is still smoldering.

        Now get in here and help me peel these poms off the floor. I haven’t seen such evidence of PTSD since James Franco paraded around here during his Phyllis Diller phase (we still have yet to talk to Agent MOL for that security breach.)

        Or must you be off for tango lessons with your Han Jr?

      • Anna says:

        He didnt seem that lonely in my bed. We didnt even need to call Tommy to join us!

        Plus Fanty is always so easily distracted – by Bruhl, Hardy, and anyone offering a Pervy Tombanger.

      • T.Fanty says:

        I was going to write *sighs and straps on an apron over my gold bikini* but I just opened the door to find Cumby lying enticingly on his side, wearing the outfit with a couple of cinnamon rolls strapped to the side of his head and giving me a “come hither” look. Reckon like it’s my turn to be Jabba the Hut. Again.

        Pass the gin.

      • Sixer says:

        Welcome back, Miss Eyre. I was beginning to think I’d gatecrashed too enthusiastically (a la TommyAnne) and you’d run for cover. I wouldn’t blame you.

        Is there room at Thornfield for an elephant or two? My new squeeze THardy likes them.

      • j.eyre says:

        Anna, darling, I know why you weren’t bored in bed. And I would like you to put koi back in the pond before they suffocate.

        Fanty – heaven help us – is that why TommyAnnE has been practicing his Salacious B. Crumb laugh? For the love of Pete, we’ll all be kept up all night again.

        Sixer, darling, I think it is because you you I beat as hasty a return to Thornfield as could be managed. You do intend to make good on those Black Velvet fantasies, yes?

      • EscapedConvent says:

        @Fanty,

        Do those cinnamon rolls over Cumby’s ears leave any room for that flat cap he wears that you like so much?

        & if he’s wearing those horrible maroon jeans again, will you please destroy them as you promised to do? I would rather see him in the black jeans with the ripped knee.

        P.S. Your new apron is really cute. Pink gingham, is it? It was very thoughtful of Miss Eyre to sew that name label on for you.

      • T.fanty says:

        I pass no judgement on the maroon jeans today out of respect for my work outfit du jour.

    • j.eyre says:

      I had to wait until I got the Heir and Heiress off to school (actually I just taped the last shreds of their childhood innocence to some beignets, tossed them on the lawn and locked the door once they skittered after them. They’ll figure it out) but I have been mulling over a Top Shelf Hemsworth all morning (THE Top Shelf Hemsworth keeps muttering the safe word but I told him I changed it and won’t let up until he guesses the new one) Here is my offering:

      A solid foundation of clear Remy Martin V
      layered on top of the V is some velvety Tia Maria poured slowly over the gentle curve of a copper spoon
      A layer golden Galliano floats carefree on top

      It is garnished with a candied lemon rind that we’ll just call a Miss J. And, of course, the Miss J sits atop the Top Shelf Hemsworth until the drink is done.

  13. ramie says:

    who is he? YUM!

  14. Elodie says:

    Daniel Brül oh yes anytime old neighbor… anytime…

    • Micha says:

      Old neighbour?? DO TELL!

      And as a fellow german, it’s always nice to see some real talent get the recognition they deserve.

      • stellalovejoydiver says:

        Right, it´s a travesty that the only successful German actors working in Hollywood are Diane Krüger and Thomas Kretschmann.
        Love Daniel.
        Now I need Alexander Fehling to become internationally famous so I can swoon over pics on this site.

      • nyc_nm says:

        Christoph Waltz?

  15. Tish says:

    Ha! He also attended the Gaga concert.

  16. MegG says:

    Thankyou I love Sam Riley. Sigh

  17. pzc says:

    Daniel Brühl < August Diehl

  18. Jess says:

    Sam Riley’s wife is a very famous german actress too – it’s Alexandra Maria Lara, she’s quite popular here.
