geek chic

i confess, though the high school jocks and hearthrobs are handsome, i've always gone for the geeks.. even my favorite actors are the geeky, funny and sweet guys. there have some several list of favorite hollywood geeks and i thought i'll list down my own top 3:

3.) joseph gordon levitt
i love 10 things i hate about you not just because of heath ledger and julia stiles but also because of cameron (played by joseph gordon levitt). he has recently come back as the sweet guy in 500 days of summer and uberhot in inception. i heard he will be in the next batman movie.. this awkward geek is now a rising hot star!

2.) paul rudd
from one of my favorite chicklit movies, clueless, to a string of laidback movies, paul is my favorite geek. he was in romeo+juliet, the object of my affection, anchorman, 40 year old virgin, night at the museum, knocked up, over her dead body, role models, i love you man, dinner for schmucks... he's probably the guy you would dismiss in high school for being a shy geek, or as Jason Mraz says, "you might regret what you let slip away like the geek in the pink..."

1.) nathan filion
ruggedly handsome rick castle! he's a self-confessed geek god. i love his character in castle because he is so charming and smart and witty.. and that's why even if kate beckett tries to date other hot model looking doctors or cops, she always go back to castle. i've read his interviews in magazines and he sounds exactly like his characters, except geekier (haha). im not a fan of sci-fi but for him, i'd watch Firefly.

other anti-matinee idol actors that i like are:
the ever so quirky johnny depp - loved him most as sweeney todd

i loved-him-since-titanic leo dicaprio

mark ruffalo - i liked him in 13 going 30, feels like heaven, zodiac, shutter island

simon baker - i want to be the one who can heal patrick jane's heart, but i'm afraid i'm not good enough for him (hehe)

and two prettyboys but not so anti-matinee idols that i like are:
james marsden - he can be the leading man (27 dresses), an action hero (cyclops) or a singer (enchanted / hairspray).. a versatile performer

chris pine - he made me like star wars. enuf said.

patrick dempsey - mcdreamy yummy.. and all that sexy hair..
