SOLVED!

[Blind Gossip] So this homeless guy was walking down the street and… what? He’s not homeless? He’s a famous actor?

Yes, he is! He is actually filming a scene for a new project, but his hairy look also makes him a master of disguise.

Think films, not TV.

BONUS CLUE: He was born in a foreign country. Does that make him an immigrant?

BONUS CLUE: While not inherently irrational, he has been known to be spacey and campy.

BONUS CLUE: It’s late at night, but I’m still here. Are you not entertained, brother?

BONUS CLUE: All signs point to sleep. Make a reservation at a village hotel and grab 49 winks!

Master of disguises = The Master

Are you not entertained? = A line from Gladiator

Signs = Signs

Village = The Village

Congratulations to the happy couple!

    Tom Hardy.

    Clue: “Are you not entertained, brother?” – Reminds me of the language his character Bane would use in The Dark Knight Rises.

    Clue: “spacey” – He played an alien villain in Star Trek: Nemesis.

    That’s all I got. But I think it’s Tom.

  7. takingaguess says

    Definitely Joaquin Phoenix – he was in I’m Still Here.

    He was also in The Immigrant, but Puerto Rico is not a foreign country.

  8. Silverdun says

    That’s clearly Joaquin Phoenix, although I remember him as a little kid in Parenthood, when he was still called Leaf! 🙂 Are you not entertained is from Gladiator which he starred in.

  10. ClownWrangler says

    Joaquin Phoenix. He looks like a younger version of Mel Gibson. Maybe he picked that up from their association together on Signs.

  13. shauxnough says

    You guys, I think this is Gerard Butler.

    Clues:
    Are you not entertained is a line from Gladiator,
    He’s UK born

    I mean, I liked Gladiator A LOT when it came out. Otherwise, I dont really know his work.

  14. MikeInSanJose says

    Joaquin Phoenix.

    Born in Puerto Rico. Was in “The Immigrant”

    More films -“Irrational Man”, “SpaceCamp”

    “It’s late at night” – We Own the Night?
    “I’m still here” – 2010 Mockumentary he was in.
    “Are you not entertained” – a line from Gladiator, “Brother” – he calls himself and Maximus brothers.

    All Signs point to sleep – was in the film Signs
    Make a reservation at a village hotel and grab 49 winks!
    The Village
    Hotel Rwanda
    Ladder 49

    • MikeInSanJose says

      Oh, and Master of Disguise – Was in “The Master”
      Walking down the Street – Reservation Road and/or Walk the Line?

      And for BONUS CLUE: While not inherently irrational…, I left out “Inherent Vice” above

      Optional – Toss up between Gladiator and Signs

  15. saucykitty says

    Having looked over a number of these comments, I gotta say, did nobody watch Clay Pigeons? That’s my favorite movie of his.

  16. cassie123 says

    Joaquin Phoenix!

    Clues: born in Puerto Rico

    Film references in the blind:

    The Irrational Man, Brother Bear, Ladder 49, I’m Still Here, Signs, The Master, The Village, Space Camp

  17. scootaloo says

    Daniel Day Lewis!

    He was born in England and was “The Butcher” in Gangs of New York. He was the heAd of a gang that hated immigrants.

  22. loremi says

    Actor: Russell Crowe

    Clues: Master = Master and Commander movie; born in New Zealand; are you not entertained = Gladiator quote; all signs point to sleep = sleepy eyes. Plus the guy in the photo seems to have cigarettes, and Russell has gone back and forth trying to quit.

    P.S. I don’t think he looks homeless at all—just casual.

  23. FoxyLoxy says

    Joaquin Phoenix

    Actor: Joaquin Phoenix

    Clues: village hotel, he was in “The Village” and grab 49 winks!, he was in Ladder 49

  38. jbj2016 says

    Oh dear, someone has been feeling extra punny lately…those extra clues were totally unnecessary! I will never think of going ‘Joaquin’ the same way post Scream Queens S1.

  40. Ladieu says

    Joaquin “Leaf” Phoenix, I got it on the photo but the clues were obvious, immigrant, space camp, ladder 49, gladiator, hotel rwanda, I’m still here…you’d have to be off the radar to get it wrong!

    Don;t really have a favourite film of his, didn’t know he was born in Puerto Rico though.

  49. brittaanylaurr says

    Joaquin Phoenix,

    he was born in Puerto Rico (born in foreign country)

    starred in a movie called the Immigrant

    im still here (a movie he did directed by Casey Affleck)

    are you not entertained? (pretty sure that’s from Gladiator which he stars in)

    not sure about the 49 winks, but he did star in The Village

    • jaybird22 says

      clues:
      was born in Puerto Rico (parents moved around a lot)
      ‘late at night’ – was on Late Show with David Letterman that he had that crazy interview which he called a hoax for the documentary
      ‘I’m still here’ – the name of hoax documentary
      ‘All signs’ – was in Signs
      ‘village hotel’ – in The Village
      ’49 winks’ – was in Ladder 49
      ‘inherently irrational’ – was in Inherent Vice and Irrational Man
      ‘spacey and campy’ – in film spacecamp
      ‘brother’ – might be reaching, but…

    Clues: Are you not entertained?

  53. WorkHardBeNice says

    Joaquin Phoenix, lookin’ like his stylist is one of the dudes on Duck Dynasty. Bleagh!!

    • WorkHardBeNice says

      Crap! Didn’t read the “born in a foreign country” part. Changing my answer to Ryan Gosling.

  54. killingtime says

    I don’t think you need to give any clues – you can see straight away by the nose that it’s Joaquin Phoenix!

    Clues = Immigrant film, SpaceCamp film, Gladiator film (are you not entertained quote) and his brother River being an entertainer, Signs film, The Village film, Ladder 49 film!

    Favourite film = Her or Gladiator. Loved him in Signs too

  57. darnanggs says

    Joaquin pheonix

    Clues : born in peurto rico, movie clues : SpaceCamp, the village, ladder 49, I’m still here, the master, the immigrant, irrational man..

    Hehe i cheated and googled his filmography.. Favorite movie would be ladder 49 and gladiator

  58. PriveNom says

    All clues point toward —->Joaquin Phoenix
    Although Puerto Rico’s not a foreign country guesses are:
    BC 1 “Immigrant” JP’s 2013 film
    BC 2 “SpaceCamp” 1986 & Irrational Man 2015
    BC 3 Could be when he did a goofy “LATE NIGHT W/ DAVID LETTERMAN” interview for his film “I’m Still Here ” 2010 &” Brother Bear” 2003, or “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” 1982, as well as his infamous Brother River
    AND Clue 4 his films “SIGNS”, “RESERVATION ROAD”, “THE VILLAGE” & LADDER…

  65. spookie says

    • bostonbratt says

      This could be Mel Givson but this mans skin is too smooth to be Mel. Mel has bad creases and a weathered look

  77. northofyou says

    Joaquin Phoenix. Born in Puerto Rico, starred in movie called The Immigrant. Starred in a movie called Irrational Man, and in Space Camp. Starred in I’m Still Here and The Master. Reservation Road, Ladder 49, The Village. Don’t know about signs pointing to sleep.

  81. busted says

    Joaquin Phoenix. Born in Puerto Rico. Was in the film Inherent Vice. I thought it was obvious and I was late to see the blind so I didn’t bother making a guess ?

    • busted says

      Also in The Master, Irrational Man and I’m Still Here (where he grew a beard and acted all bizarre during the filming)

  84. ibgrlzn says

    He looks so much like Joaquin phoenix! And he was also born in Rio pedras, Puerto Rico.

    Clues: born in a foreign country, spacey and campy–> spacecamp(??)

    Fav film: hmmm oddly j don’t have much of a memory but I reckon Ladder 49? touching 🙁

  87. sawyer319 says

    That is so Joaquin Phoenix. And bc I think beards are seriously sexy – he be looking GOOD! 😀

  88. SpotTheFish says

    Joaquin Phoenix, filming “You Were Never Really Here”

    Clues: master of disguise (“The Master”), immigrant (“The Immigrant”), inherently (“Inherent Vice”), irrational (“Irrational Man”), spacey and campy (“SpaceCamp”)

    [Optional] Gladiator

  91. apple martini says

    Joaquin Phoenix, although not sure Puerto Rico really counts as a completely foreign country. Clues: Inherently (“Inherent Vice”), immigrant (“The Immigrant”), irrational (“Irrational Man”), spacey/campy (“SpaceCamp”).

    Favorite film: He was incredibly good in “The Master.” Should’ve gotten the Oscar over Daniel Day-Lewis, IMO.

  102. MissCassandra says

    Joaquin Phoenix

    Gladiator maybe?? I don’t really enjoy him as an actor, though I admit he is quite good.

  115. itsmejen says

    It’s Joaquin Phoenix! And I’m going to go back a bit in the time machine and say my favorite film of his is To Die For.

  117. Tequila Mama says

    Joaquin Phoenix

    Clues:

    [Optional] Your favorite film of his? Walk The Line and Parenthood

  126. lovefifteen says

    Joaquin Phoenix
    Clues: “master” = his movie The Master is the one clue I spotted

  127. channel orange says

    Tom Hardy. No favorite, don’t especially care for him though intellectually I get his appeal.

  137. kittypryde777 says

    Actor: Joaquin Phoenix
    Clues: “master of disguise” – he’s in the film “The Master”

  140. lovelylovely says

    That’s definitely Joaquin Phoenix. I could’ve spotted him a mile away (I obviously love his films WAY too much lol).

    “Walking” he was in a movie called walk the line.
    “Master” he was in a movie called the master.

    [Optional] Walk the line, definitely. It’s in my top five!! He’s too good as Johnny Cash 🙂

  145. pumpkinloaf says

    Looks like Joaquin Phoenix – clue: Master of disguises = The Master film from a few years back

  163. Glamma says

    Paul Rudd

    Clues: No idea… wait, people still use twitter???

    Favorite films Anchorman: Legend of Ron Burgundy. The scene when they sing Afternoon Delight is one of the funniest scenes in any movie ever.
