The Hottest Con Men of All Time {According to Me!}
(AHAHA!! I Dug this up in my old journal, and thought I'd Re-post it here. xD its amusing to me considering circumstances and such right now!)
Funny how movies and TV make something so low and vile as a con man not only someone we root for, but also a sex symbol. Here's a few that stand out to me!
(con man meme!)
So this was VERY hard! I couldn't even think up ten!! I was really torn over the number one spot...but in the end....my weak heart gave out on me.
If you think of any I missed (cos I know I did!!) Please comment!
... Gonna cut it.. pics don't fit ~~
Roy Dillon
Who: John Cusack
Where: The Grifters
Why: Roy may not have had the typical win for all con-society, but he was just too adorable to not love. I love most of John's work and think The Grifters is among some of his best (lesser known) works. Besides what boy wants to have to choose between his mom and his woman??
Miguel & Tulio
Who: Kevin Kline, Kenneth Branagh
Where: The Road to El Dorado
Why: So one's obsessed with gold, and the other the world.... They pretended to be Gods to get their pay. Classic Con man Style.
Rusty Ryan
Who: Brad Pitt
Where: Ocean's Eleven
Why: Rusty isn't really you're typical con man. He recruits, he organizes...but when it comes to the brains, well Rusty is more attune to science and technology than the human mind. He is Danny's go to guy, and his idea bouncer, and the best person to come to if you need a (cheesy) yet convincing acting job done for a con.
Danny Ocean
Who: George Clooney
Where: Ocean's Eleven
Why: A highly skilled, yet slightly inept con man who runs the Vegas circuit. He believes in team work, disguises, and theatrics to accomplish his cons, and dammit he will sit behind a computer calling the shots all day if he has too! With a charming smile and lots of humor, Danny Ocean has solidified himself as a con man to remember.
Handsome Rob
Who: Jason Statham
Where: The Italian Job
Why: Um, he's hot and has an accent...and he drives fast cars. Vroom.
Dimitri
Who: John Cusack (again)
Where: Anastasia
Why: I've decided not to be ashamed of thinking cartoons (and comics!) are hot. Dimitri certainly fits the bill. He's a con man more out of necessity than malice (as are most) He is sure of himself, which as infuriating as it can be, is really attractive, and to top it off he's so romantic! It makes a girl's heart sigh.
James 'Sawyer' Ford
Who: Josh Holloway
Where: LOST
Why: You mean I need a reason? His tragic childhood aside, 'Sawyer' as it stands is one of the best con men on the small screen. (If not the only!) He is charming, *coughsexy*, and can play those around him like a fiddle. The best part is he has a conscience under there, and that makes him endearing <3
Remy 'Gambit' LeBeau
Who: Marvel
Where: X-Men
Why: Trying to decide whether or not to make Gamby number one just about killed me xD But in the end it was only won over by the realness of Maverick. Like his dominator, both are card sharks. Gambit has an accent to die for, and all the charm to go with it. Bad boy aura mingled with hisglowing eyes....mmm Gambit can con me anyday. :D
Bret Maverick
Who: Mel Gibson
Where: Maverick
Why: First off, if you have not seen Maverick, SHAM ON YOU, Stop reading, and go watch it NOW. Bart Bret Maverick is the con-man of my dreams....from his mischievious schemes, to those baby blues...and that smile. I could just melt. xD I would pay him to con me. No jokes.
This cuts off about 15 seconds too soon... *sigh*
