Tom Cruise’s adopted son Connor has landed a role in the remake of the 1984 film Red Dawn.
The 14 year-old will play Daryl, the youngest in the group of high schoolers who defend their town against foreign invasion. Josh Hutcherson, Edwin Hodge, Adrianne Palicki and former stars of the Australian series Home and Away Chris Hemsworth and Isabel Lucas will also star in the war drama.
Dawn is scheduled to begin filming next month and set to be released in 2010.
Blindie sees big things on the horizon for the little Cruise man. Afterall, the original film helped put Patrick Swayze and Charlie Sheen on the Hollywood map and his father is sort of a box-office heavyweight. And in case you missed it, Connor played a young Will Smith in last year’s Seven Pounds.
In our continual quest to bring you the hotness that is Connor Cruise (yes, he’s a tween, but we don’t care), here’s a hunky shot of Tom Cruise’s 14-year-old cutie spending Fathers Day at a NASCAR race in Sonoma, Calif. with his movie star dad.
Watching the Sprint Cup Series Toyota/Save Mart 350, Connor and dad sported tees and matching sunglasses. It was only in May that the father-son duo sat courtside for a Lakers game.
Former 90210 2.0 guest star Jessica Lucas is dropping into the CW’s reboot of Melrose Place with some lovely eye candy on her arm: Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants stud Michael Rady!
The gorgeous pair play hot couple Jonah Miller, an aspiring filmmaker, and Riley Richmond, a rich girl who works as an inner-city elementary teacher.
The show also stars Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, David Cassidy spawn Katie Cassidy, and alums Laura Leighton and Thomas Calabro. See the clip below for previews of the series (fast forward to 1:50 for Jessica and Michael’s scene).
Tom Cruise and his adopted son Connor were front and center at the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles on Thursday as the Denver Nuggets beat out the LA Lakers in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals.
The father and son duo sat courtside watching the game intently matching gestures and making quite a handsome pair.
Connor who is just 14 years old looks to be growing up fast and quite nicely! Blindie wonders if he will follow in dad’s superstar footsteps to become an actor since he’s already on his way to heartthrob status.
Promoting a non-Gossip Girl project, the Donnie Darko sequel S. Darko, Ed Westwick (aka Chuck “MotherChucker” Bass) sits down with pop culture mag, Interview, dishing on branching out from Bass with a dream role.
Here are some excerpts from our fave Brit’s chat:
INTERVIEW: What character would you love to play?
WESTWICK: Being from England, and being a lad, I have to say James Bond. It would be wrong of me to say anything else.
INTERVIEW: How about buffing up for an action feature, are you ready for that?
WESTWICK: It’s a good reason to get in shape, I guess, isn’t it? I think it would be exciting to be involved in an epic 300-esque thing.
INTERVIEW: Maybe there’ll be a 301. They could make it a musical.
WESTWICK: I’m sure they could. They’re doing a Broadway musical of American Psycho.
INTERVIEW: You’d be good for that.
WESTWICK: I know, that’s exactly what I was thinking. I had to ring my manager when I heard about it. I’m obsessed with that film.
One of Blindie’s Ga Ga Guys Taylor Kitsch is making the promotion rounds for his No. 1 blockbuster X-Men Origins: Wolverine–and his latest pitch is to Entertainment Weekly.
While Kitsch’s day job is playing the broodingly sexy Tim Riggins on NBC’s fantastic drama Friday Night Lights, he said, “Not seeing Riggins in Gambit was incredibly important to me.”
The TV hunk may be getting major buzz for his big screen jump, but he says he’ll “never say no to” FNL because of all it’s done for him.
Up next for the talented hunk? Playing suicidal Pulitzer Prize winner Kevin Carter in The Bang-Bang Club, which he’s shooting in South Africa and dropped 30 lbs. for.
