The Face Of Mr Average

[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?

  5. 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.

    • 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.

    • 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.

  12. Adam Driver

    I don’t know but that’s so damn weird. He’s coming into their space and being a diva? I would’ve looked him in the eye

    • 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.

  15. 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…

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

  19. Chris Pratt

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

  23. 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. Oh no.

    Chris Pratt.

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

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

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

  27. 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.

  29. I think it’s Adam Driver on SNL. Although there is absolutely nothing average looking about him. He is handsome, gorgeous, and perfect, and has absolutely nothing to feel self-conscious about. I know he has struggled with self-esteem issues in the past. Possibly also he didn’t want to piss off his wife by having people checking him out. She’s very jealous and possessive, and never gives him compliments.

  33. Chris Pratt. Went from Parks and Rec to Guardians of the Galaxy. He’s average-looking, but once he lost tons of weight his career took off.

  40. 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.

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

  44. I really hope that I’m wrong because they both seem super nice, but the ones that come to mind are john krasinsky and chris pratt.

  48. The photo looks like Adam Driver, he was on a successful tv show, has a role in a huge movie series, and he’s sorta average looking. (He’s not my cup of tea, I don’t even think he’s average.) I don’t know what the new tv show he’s on is and I don’t know what the clue “wonder” has to do with him, so I am not certain of my answer.
