Do you know of him? He's an amazing actor, in movies such as "A Knight's Tale", "Firewall", and "The Divici Code" I've only seen the first two, but I'm still a fan. How about you?

Oooh, Paul Bettany. :notworthy: :swoon:
I'm surprised no one else has started a discussion on him. He is SUCH a brilliant actor. I first saw him butt naked in "A Knight's Tale", as I think most of us who saw that movie, were. I really loved him in that movie. :) He's also in Wimbeldon, and oddly enough, he's the only reason I saw that movie. :D Ha ha ha. He's also in "Master & Commander: The Far Side Of The World" which I thought was brilliant. I know he's in some other stuff...but it's slipping my mind right now.
You know, when I heard about the DaVinci Code movie, I was fairly angry (only because I had a feeling that they wouldn't be true to such a lovely piece of literary genius), but then I was VERY disappointed, because the cast consisted of so many that I am huge fans of. Paul Bettany being one of them. So, I was sad that I didn't get to see him in that...only because I refuse to see it. Ha ha ha.

YAY for Paul Bettany!!!

I am the same as you. The first time I saw him he was butt naked. My friend started shouting "It's my P-dog! Look at P-dog!" P-dog is our pet name for him. She thought he was hott. I sort of agree with her. To be perfectly frank, he's sort of ugly. But he is such a good actor that you don't care, and you look past that ugliness and think. Wow.....he's really hot. Do you know what I mean? He's a brilliant actor.

I've heard that was an awesome movie. Is that the one with Billy Boyd in it?

I first saw him in A Knight's Tale, and he was really good. Very funny. I loved his introduction to each of the fights. But he was outstanding in Master and Commader, totally different to his Chaucer character. I really loved him in that.

I think "pleasant ugliness" is what I would call him. He's not really handsome but he's quite nice to look at. ;)

I liked him in A Beautiful Mind, Master and Commander, and Firewall. It's funny. In one scene in Firewall, Paul has a cup that looks exactly like the one I use.

i never really got to see him in master and commander (i passes out 15 minutes in) but i think he's great in a knight's tale and a beautiful mind. still wasn't enough to redeem the nauseating pile of cheese that was wimbledon though.

"I'm trudging!" That line gets me every time. I just watched that movie a little while ago.

Sorry but I'll have to contradict you here. He was EXTREMELY handsome in Master&Commander :yes:
