[BuzzFoto] This once A list, award-winning actor has dropped off the radar in the last few years. A source tells us he obsessively watches right-wing news and radio broadcasts like Glenn Beck, while stocking up on gold and weapons, preparing for ‘the end.’ His friends have tried to offer help, but he complains to our source that they are ‘nothing but Hollywood liberal socialists’ who have an agenda. His family and friends are worried as he’s becoming more extreme, and the source also claims he’s shelled out big bucks to install a bunker on his property. 662
Jon Voight?
I guessed Bruce Willis down thread, but I have to say that Jon Voight is a great guess.
Voight was my first thought but he’s still in the spotlight on tv at times giving his views on political matters and/or supporting the Conservative movement.
Nope. He’s still making movies each year.
harrison ford because he lives in montana and i just picture him like that and he hasn’t done any films in awhile (that i know of).
“Cowboys and Aliens” by Jon Favreau this summer?
smart guy if you ask me.
Ha! he’ll have the last laugh, everyone will be clamouring to get into his bunker in the last days (cue dooms day music). I wonder if he has had enough forsight to leave it to his next of kin in his will or maybe he hasn’t thought quite that far ahead.
omg I’m actually laughing right now
yup
You’re hilarious.
Poor guy. What a way to live.
My first guess was Steven Siegal but he’s still working. Ahnold is conservative but I really can’t see him doing this. Too self-assured. Ditto for Kelsey Grammar. Sly Stallone is still working and Steven Baldwin isn’t popular enough to fit this. So I’ll go with Mel “I’ll bury you in the rose garden!” Gibson.
Mel Gibson is an ultra-ultra conservative Catholic. I can’t imagine him wanting anything to do with Glenn Beck, who is a Mormon.
Still, the idea of Mel Gibson hunkering down in a bunker, murmuring to himself “they’re all out to get me, surrounded by gold makes me giggle.
Doesn’t it?
Frankly, I was trying to imagine the most paranoid, least secure actor for this one, and that’s what lead me to Mel.
Arnold says he’s a conservative but acts like a liberal. Not him.
Joaquin Phoenix? I would say he was A-list and he has been awfully quiet these past years, except for his mockumentary, preceded by strange public appearances.
Joaquin just shot a movie and has a few more he’s attached to!
PS: BG, have I said lately how much I love this column and look forward to it every day? It takes away the out-of-work blues!
this was my out-of-work highlight for sure! [and I'm certain an upswing is on the horizon....]
Mel is an excellent guess. Mel!
Mel hasn’t been acting much lately, but he’s far from “off the radar”. Actually, he’s annoyingly and excessively “on the radar”.
Mel just did the movie the “Beaver”,and he has 3 other projects in the works, so I do not think it’s him.
Bruce Willis.
I like thisone havent seen him in anything for awhile
Bruce never stop working. He was just in Reds last year. He fliming a movie called “Looper”,and Catch 44, plus he set to appear in the new G.I Joe movie. So it not him.
It could be Bruce…I remember Ashton making some comments, awhile back, about working out and staying strong, so he could protect his family, when our society crumbles. Not if, but when. He could have been listening to Bruce.
Bruce keeps making movies. They just *. He has had a few “direct to video” movies lately. Filming The Expendables 2 right now. And Die Hard 512(at least I think it is that many by now)any minute.
Uncle Leroy?!?!?!?
gary busey
Haha Nothing would shock me about him. His middle name is “Extreme”!
Busey would buy into this for sure!
I am totally on board with busy. He disappeared off that show on truetv — world’s dumbest. Hasn’t been on for ages.
Sorry, my iPad and I don’t always agree on spelling. Sadly, the iPad usually wins. Busy = Busey.
Jack Nicholson?
Ditto on the guess. We haven’t seen Jackie boy in awhile.
Yeah my first guess. Guy in the photo with a crazy grin also matches.
good point about the nutty smile.
A recent blind alluded to Jack having had a stroke recently which is why he’s staying out of the limelight. It could have done a number on his brain. Good guess.
agree, good guess.
Can we just debate whether or not we think Glenn Beck sweats milk?
I think he sweats *. I mean, he’s so enormously full of it that it must literally ooze from his every pore..
the asterisk stands for the word bullsh*t, btw. it was censored out apparently }:/
but who would argue the other side?
i say billy bob
Please tell me he was never A-List
First person who came to mind is Nicholas Cage.
His bunker is to hide from his creditors, not the end of the world. I could see Nic Cage being this bats*** crazy though.
I’M A VAMPIRE! I’M A VAMPIRE!
LMAO! Yeah, I think that Nicholas Cage is the one actor out there who is crazier than Mel. Except he probably couldn’t afford said bunker, gold bars, guns, etc.
Randy Quaid is the other one crazier than Mel but he’s never been A list as far as I know.
This is the first person I thought of, too. Wasn’t he a 9-11/US government conspiracy theorist like Sheen?
Gary Busey.
First actor who popped into my mind was Nick Nolte. I could totally picture him going nutty like this.
Burt Reynolds? That pic reminds me of Deliverance. Burt has won Emmys and GGs.
I’ll throw Peter Fonda into the mix.
Kevin Costner?
good idea! I think he is known to be a bit right-leaning, iirc. There’s nothing wrong with that in itself, but I think that’s the kind of thing that’s a good basis from which to slip away into complete paranoid propaganda-fed right-wing lunacy.
So only right-wingers are loons? I think being on the extreme of either end is loony.
reading comprehension. you need it.
i’d say James Woods. He’s a hard core right winger.
Is he? I never knew that about him. Too bad!
Why too bad?
Because that person feels that it’s not preferable.
hard core RW = idiot who buys gold because Glen Beck (and his sponsor who seels it) tells him to.
hard core RW= votes against own self interest because of paranoia and fear of the other, and mistaken idea that the 1% earned it by themselves.
hard core= intolerant jerks who want thegovernment to oversea what you;re doing your bedroom when it hurts no one, but not the boardroom, where it can effect the whole stinking country.
I don’t think he would give up the very young women he likes. Perhaps he can take several into the bunker with him. And the viagra he would need.
I agree. He’s a good candidate. I can see Woods being hardcore RW paranoid, but he couldn’t survive outside Los Angeles with the lifestyle he prefers.
Clint Eastwood?
It sure ain’t Dirty Harry. I just posted this quote from him on my Facebook page (and it’s legitimate, because the quote linked back to the article it came from):
“These people who are making a big deal out of gay marriage? I don’t give a **** about who wants to get married to anybody else. We’re making a big deal out of things we shouldn’t be making a big deal out of. They go on and on with all this bull**** about ‘sanctity.’ Don’t give me that ‘sanctity’ crap! Just give everybody the chance to have the life they want.”
The article went on to note that while he sees himself as an Eisenhower Republican and libertarian, he has often supported Democrats lately because he hates the direction the Republican Party has taken.
Ol’ Clint’s too awesome to be the guy in the blind!
Clint Eastwood could hold off the End Times with a bottle of scotch, a shotgun with one shell, and a scowl.
No need for a bunker : )
love it!
Seconded! Awesome
Besides, it takes a * with a bunch of money to do all that what with the bunker and all, and Clint is definitely not a nutcase. He’s just an old-school, ’70′s style conservative.
So many nutty ex-A-listers, so little time.
Robert Duvall? I don’t know if he’s been working in recent times, but he’s known to be a die-hard rightist.
Duvall is my guess too
Right-Wing Willis.
Kirk Cameron!!!!!!
I’d think Kirk’s friends are just a religious as he and would support him in his desire to prep for what he considers the end times.
Kirk Cameron will welcome the end times with a smile and a banana.
Clever guy.
Can I just say that one of the many things that makes BG great is the witty, intelligent commenters?
I’m on board with the Mel Gibson guess
Denzel Washington was my first thought and Im going to stick with it.
Val Kilmer. He’s always been a strange guy… anyone else remember the interview he did (I think GQ?) a few years ago about his compound/ranch and guns ‘n such?
Edward Norton? Haven’t seen him in a while.
I’d say Charlton Heston. He sooo loves weapons. Has an Oscar. Don’t appear in movies since 2001, right?
Charleton has not been real busy lately because he died in ’08 after a bout of Alzheimer’s.
He has to be conservative…that leaves a whopping 5 people in Hollywood. I would say Voight, he was A-List and unless he’s rambling about his relationship with his daughter he doesn’t make headlines anymore. Glenn Beck strikes again….
Kelsey Grammer
What about Tom Selleck? The blind doesn’t specify movie actor. He’s got an Emmy, and several other awards. I can see him going this route, and he’s been off of the radar for a while.
Tom Selleck currently stars on the CBS show “Blue Bloods,” which is consistently the #1 show on Friday nights (not sure how much that says, though
)
woody harrelson?
Val Kilmer. He has a place out in the desert in New Mexico and I recall hearing about some kerfluffle he had with his neighbours.
Gene Hackman FTW
Registered in order to post – Michael Moriarty. You young’uns likely have no clue who he is, but you may have seen him if you watch reruns of Law and Order.
Welcome, Mumma! Love, Ace
Don’t forget we saw Jack Nicholson at the Oscars hitting on Jennifer Lawrence. And I know who Michael Moriarty is! I worked with him on Law and Order 22 years ago. Oops..Guess you know how old I am now! I could totally see this being Val Kilmer. Denzel was just recently nom’d for an Oscar and Mel is crazy but don’t get the feeling it’s him. That is all.
Duh I just noticed these were all old blinds from years ago.
I’m going with crazy Val Kilmer- this picture looks just like him since he got fat!
