The Face Of Mr Average

October 9, 2018 Blind Gossip

[Blind Gossip] This very average-looking actor has gone from TV star to movie star in the past few years.

That sudden trajectory probably has a lot to do with his key role in a major franchise.

He recently did a quick gig on a TV series. The crew was given specific instructions about how to treat him.

No one was allowed to look at him. We were ordered to turn our heads every time he walked by so we wouldn’t accidentally catch his eye. It’s a very small and collaborative environment, so it was an odd request.

We don’t know if Mr. Average Looking has developed a big ego or if he is just super-sensitive, but we do know that he did not make these kinds of demands on the set of his former TV show so we were surprised to hear about this.

Wonder what’s changed?

[Optional] Why do you think he demanded this behavior?

    Chris Pratt – sounds like his ego soared when he landed Guardians of the Galaxy.

    Martin Freeman.

    Because he’s big and famous now? Spent years as the sidekick or everyman, moved on to superstardom with the Hobbit, now in the Marvel Universe, did Fargo and Cargo for TV.

  15. itsxjustxsarah says

    October 9, 2018 at 11:40 am

    My first thought was Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange in the Marvel Movies)

    Also maybe Chris Pratt? I wouldn’t say he is average looking, but he comes off as a bit of a jerk to me…

    John Krasinski. I think marrying Emily Blunt (WAY outta his league) and doing the two country living thing has gone to his head.

    Why? Because he probably always was a jerk, but now he’s got the clout to exercise it. Or thinks he does.

    October 9, 2018 at 12:43 pm

    I’m guessing Chris Pratt formerly of Parks and Rec, part of the Marvel series (Guardians of the Galaxy, Avengers). Not sure what show he’s doing a guest spot on though.

  24. lvsoxfan says

    October 9, 2018 at 12:55 pm

    Oh no.

    Chris Pratt.

    He seemed very damaged by when his then-wife was more famous than him, and now he’s getting revenge.

    perhaps Chris Pratt…. he has been quite full of himself lately… someone needs to tell him he really isn’t that fabulous

  27. PeachTea says

    October 9, 2018 at 1:22 pm

    I can only think of Kit Harrington.

    He was a nobody before Game of Thrones. His acting is, to be kind, mediocre. He owes everything to George RR Martin. Appearances on other shows must freak him out because he is without the GoT infrastructure that keeps him looking good.

    Dylan O’Brien

    He starred in the Maze Runner franchise and because of that got other movie roles. He was on Teen Wolf before that. Less than a month ago he filmed a guest starring role on a Youtube Red show .

    My guess is that he’s become a bit full of himself. I’ve read some comments over the past months and he showed some behaviour here and there that seemed like fame had gotten to his head lately.

  38. calibg21 says

    October 9, 2018 at 3:39 pm

    Adam Driver, but I don’t know if I would consider him a star, unless that’s a clue for the Star Wars franchise.

    Most average-looking star. I don’t get his appeal.
    Maybe he just has a big ego?

  53. thelasthigh says

    October 9, 2018 at 9:33 pm

    I wouldn’t be so quick to judge this behavior as arrogance when it could very well be a struggle with social anxiety

  54. fortunecookie12 says

    October 9, 2018 at 9:44 pm

    Benedict Cumberbatch on the set of Patrick Melrose. His former TV show was Sherlock.

    Maybe he was just going full method and channelling his character on the show? I really hope he hasn’t let fame go to his head.

    October 10, 2018 at 3:47 am

    I’m really hoping this isn’t right because I love him, but…
    Actor: Adam Driver, who recently hosted SNL. The clues seem to fit – he’s not stereotypically handsome, TV star (“Girls”) now movie star thanks to a key role in a franchise (Kylo Ren in “Star Wars”); recently did a quick gig on a TV series with a “small, collaborative environment.”
    [Optional] Why do you think he demanded this behavior? I don’t know! It seems very out of character so hopefully I’m wrong.

    Doubt it’s Freeman, he has a very dry sense of humor, which doesn’t always translate to US audiences, but most of the time it’s directed towards himself. He’s been famous in the UK for ages and no-one who has worked with him has a bad word to say about him.

  70. rachhw90 says

    October 10, 2018 at 9:43 am

    Apparently he’s out of character due to his wife having a baby. Not THEM, his wife.

  71. Lafaeete says

    October 10, 2018 at 9:58 am

    Benedict Cumberbatch

    Old TV series : Sherlock
    New TV gig : Patrick Melrose Mini Series
    Big Franchise : MCU

    At first i thought Adam Driver, but that dude is anything but average looking, and you can see was friendly and talkative with the cast and crew in the live show on stage. The cast had only good things to say about him, that goes for his 2016 SNL gig too where they were fooling around in the gag reel non stop

  72. ladybugjones says

    October 10, 2018 at 10:49 am

    Obvs ADAM DRIVER

  73. catch23 says

    October 10, 2018 at 11:06 am

    Adam Driver. He recently hosted SNL “small collaborative environment”. Used to be a TV star thanks to Girls. Then transitioned to being Kylo Ren in Star Wars. Chris Pratt isn’t average looking, especially by comparison to Driver who isn’t conventionally attractive. The blind after this one is SNL related which makes it obvious this one is coming from the same source. Can’t be Cumberbatch, he was the lead in Patrick Melrose which ran for 5 episodes (not a quick gig in a TV series).

  74. suzyQ888 says

    October 10, 2018 at 11:13 am

    While I also thought this hinted towards Chris Pratt, I don’t think it’s about him. Full of himself or not, he’s so concerned with his image he would never pull behavior like that as he wants to be perceived as the good guy at all times. Plus, the last TV gig he did was on ‘Mom” when he was still married to Anna which was close to 2 years ago. There’s no way he would’ve ever done that on his wife’s set. I don’t know who Adam Driver is but the comments below suggesting him seem much…

  75. nero90 says

    October 10, 2018 at 11:21 am

    It’s not Adam Driver, all the SNL cast members like him and said only good things about him afterwards. I think it’s Benedict Cumberbatch. He seems like he could have issues. Plus the hair in the photo looks like his.

  76. AwesomeChick says

    October 10, 2018 at 11:22 am

    People who are even thinking its Chris Pratt how could you even? Chris Pratt is the sexiest man ever created so I think from the picture it’s Adam Driver plus the word key role in major franchise is Star Wars

  77. Kate72 says

    October 10, 2018 at 12:03 pm

    Cumberbatch doesn’t fit–he was the lead, not a quick part. Plus it was not recently filmed.

    It’s meant to be Driver. Collaborative is SNL, TV show is Girls, franchise SW.

  78. meli8778 says

    October 10, 2018 at 12:33 pm

    lol Adam is this you?

  79. NoseyNana2008 says

    October 10, 2018 at 12:33 pm

    That’s what I said! Who does that anyway? “I’m so important you dare not look at me!” Seriously? You make a living having people look at you!

    I really hope this isn’t Chris Pratt, but I’m afraid it is.

  80. NoseyNana2008 says

    October 10, 2018 at 12:35 pm

    And he beefed up, like Chris Pratt, for the Benghazi movie!

  81. Marvella says

    October 10, 2018 at 12:37 pm

    My guess would be Adam Driver who did a quick voice gig on Bob’s Burgers recently. He is not average looking…he’s below average looking. He doesn’t want people looking at him wondering how the hell that guy got to where he is.

  82. NoseyNana2008 says

    October 10, 2018 at 12:38 pm

    So sad. His goofy personality is what made him so cute. Looks-wise, he’s barely average!

  83. phlyfiremama says

    October 10, 2018 at 12:41 pm

    Did Jonah Hill ever have a TV show??

  84. kelno19 says

    October 10, 2018 at 2:30 pm

    Hi Adam!

  85. AuntieJulia says

    October 10, 2018 at 2:33 pm

    There is no way this is Adam Driver: he hosted SNL 2 years ago and if anything had changed in his attitude it would be mentioned in the blind. Also, “average looking”? Haha.
    I vote for Chris Pratt, who guest starred in Mom last year and who used to be the boy next door, before he bulked up.

  86. sookiesmom says

    October 10, 2018 at 2:40 pm

    Probably wrong but I am thinking Fred Savage? And the reason being the harassment allegations against him?

  87. hotpinkmomma says

    October 10, 2018 at 4:24 pm

    Adam Driver is handsome ugly, very distinguished. I say this is Jonah Hill. Very average but now really famous with his new movie he directed.

  88. catch23 says

    October 10, 2018 at 5:14 pm

    Actually, Driver hosted SNL 2 weeks ago. He hosted in January of 2016 and then again this season premiere, Sept 29.

  89. catch23 says

    October 10, 2018 at 5:27 pm

    doubt it’s Cumberbatch. His most recent tv role was the miniseries Patrick Melrose where he was the lead, not a quick gig. Small, collaborative environment screams SNL to me. It’s gotta be Adam Driver.

  90. Kate72 says

    October 10, 2018 at 8:29 pm

    It’s Driver, dunno if it’s true. Collaborative and small is definitely SNL, and it’s only referring to crew and not cast.

    As I said above, Melrose wasn’t a quick gig (he was the lead LOL) and it filmed a year ago, not recently.

    Don’t think Pratt had a quick TV gig recently either but I could be wrong.

  91. SilverLining says

    October 10, 2018 at 9:44 pm

    I’m changing my answer to Adam Driver. He recently did a guest appearance by hosting SNL. For 5 yrs (until 2017) he was a main character in a successful HBO series, Girls. And then he got catapulted to fame by being given the iconic Darth Vader role in the reboot of the Star Wars franchise. If this is him where his associates wonder if he ‘just developed a big ego or if he is just super-sensitive’ then he his portrayal of Darth Vader is similar to his real life persona.

  92. mizzavrid says

    October 11, 2018 at 10:57 am

    Hotpinkmomma has got it right…. Adam Driver is very handsome ugly! Sexy too…

  93. hazelojic says

    October 11, 2018 at 11:41 am

    Taking a guess that it is David Thewlis based on what i perceived to be clues.

    Starred in Mr. Nice, Wonder woman, movie franchises Harry Potter and now Avatar (2 & 3 in production).

    Small and collaborative TV show is Big Mouth

  94. PeriwinkleSeahorse says

    October 12, 2018 at 3:52 am

    Excellent guess!!

  95. SleuthingForFun says

    October 14, 2018 at 1:52 am

    My thoughts exactly.

  96. spookie says

    October 15, 2018 at 6:09 pm

    I don’t think Adam Driver is average looking though? He’s very striking.
