Which celebrity would reduce you to a mindless, giggling fangirl?

In my case: Joe Flanigan.

Okay. His winning a downhill skiing event and not telling anyone and not using it to fuel a PR machine has got me hooked.

Then the fact that he calls his role on Stargate Atlantis his "job" and "work."

Add to that the fact that he showed up to interview with just a daypack on his shoulder and no PA or official posse... *sighs.* I like this guy.

That questions about himself get a monosyllabic answer while if you ask him "big questions" like, oh, "tell us about the nature of science fiction" and "let's talk about global warning" he'll expound for a while -- and actually have something insightful to say.

Then on top of that, in the behind the scenes commentaries he's a naughty, flirtatious little boy.

*pats him*

*stares at a photo*

*sighs happily*

This is the real reason I won't go to conventions. ;)

Sorry, I was the one who was vague and unclear! Yeah, I absolutely know that feeling, and JF is prime candidate for evoking it. I meant that I wasn't familiar with some of what you mentioned, like the skiing thing (link, please?), and I should be!

(Also, what photo are you staring at? I want to stare too. *g*)

There's no link for the skiing. I just stumbled on it a while ago -- he won a downhill skiing race in 2005-06 I think it was. And not a peep about it, in fact, that news didn't even surface for about a year.

That suggests it was personal enough he wasn't looking for attention. (Or his PR person sucks, but I suspect the former.)

I've been looking at Crys' art. And staring at beanniesheppard's icon in this post:

Oh, the dessert camo's hot, but the icon, the icon! (http://beaniesheppard.livejournal.com/157149.html)

Heh. I agree - it does sound like he simply wasn't looking for attention. He is a very private person after all.

And oh God, the icon! I'd seen that post, but completely missed the icon. :-)

Ooooh, pretty! I'd seen that post before, but you posting a link gave me an excuse to stare all over again, thanks.

I don't think I could meet any famous person without becoming a mindless giggling fangirl, but JF would probably reduce me to catatonia from gorgeousness and the reasons you said. He's my ultimate crush.

And the photo at the top. I love the slightly glazed look he gets in photos, like he's scared and doesn't want to show it. *g*
