stand-in

there's a HUGE movie studio (they made the hobbit, les mis, x-men, harry potter, james bond and lots more) opening up a location near us. they are in the process of building like a jillion sound stages very near to jesse's parents house, and our little suburb is soon gonna turn out blockbusters. yee haw.

as fun as it is to think of major films and pretty stars being right up the road, we didnt really see this movie-making industry intersecting with our lives. 

and then jesse got a call yesterday out of the blue. 

a casting agent nearby saw the "jesus hears the orphan" music vid that jesse and layla were in recently and thought he would be perfect as a stand-in for a leading man in a movie being filmed here this summer.

i about died when jesse texted me about because i've had a mega-crush on this actor since i was like 13 (there's a sort-of hint for you). 

anyway, it ended up not working out because my man is too tall by a good 3 inches (another hint) to be an accurate fit for this shrimpy star (not to mention that jesse has a full time job already), but for one glorious, hilarious night we dreamed of jesse and his big break...or at least an awesome instagram photo of him and his guy.

so my question to you is: who do you think the star is that jesse was "talent-spotted" to be a great stand-in for?

here's my boo as a reference.


some more hints: 1. this guy has been around for a while but hasnt been leading man status until the last 5 or so years. so you've probably heard of him or would recognize him. 2. i can almost guarantee youve seen at least one of his movies (and its a favorite if youre like me).

first one to guess it gets....something! like a real life prize. probably.

  3. I was thinking maybe Shia LaBeouf since he has been a popular leading role in the last 5 years but I don't see you as having a crush on him from "Even Stevens" and I don't think you were 13 in 1999...I also don't know why I'm thinking so hard about this. lol

  5. I guessed on fb but that might not qualify for a prize. Paul Rudd? Because in Clueless he was a total dreamboat.

  7. It is totally Paul Rudd but since I wasn't the first person to say that, I had to throw out another guess.

  8. Emily took my guess. The "last five years" clue makes sense.

  14. Mark Ruffalo, assuming that the 13 comment was referring to "13 Going on 30!"
