Good Morning, Gratuitous Alden Ehrenreich II

.
Most adorable Alden came up in Twit-versation the other day (please tell me that word is not a thing, so I can pretend I never just used it) and I realized it'd been a good long while since that way back gratuitous post I'd done for him at the start of 2011 before anybody - yes anybody, even his parents - had ever heard of him. Alright he'd been in a couple of movies at that point, so I'm full of shit...

... and it's not like he's Mr. It just yet anyway, nobody but nobody went to see Beautiful Creatures (although those of us who did, we're pushing for Cult Status for the most underrated thing) - or Stoker for that matter, but I'm saving Stoker for another time - and while he might have a small (but vital!) role in Woody Allen's new movie Blue Jasmine, the emphasis there is on small.

So for now he still feels like a secret, a wonderful secret - once you actually see him on-screen though, his charm really is electric enough that I would be shocked if once the right role hits he doesn't just take right off.

Alright yapping finished, we all know what we're here for - hit the jump for a whole heap (seventy-ish, give or take) more pictures.

Oh I adored Beautiful Creatures and him in it. He's actually in my top 10 performances this year so far. And that face- so cute!

Your review convinced me to go see Beautiful Creatures (was fearing tremendous falling-short-of-'80's-fantasy disappointment), and I totally loved it and dear Alden.

I finally managed to see Stoker on an airplane last month and was [more than what should be reasonable] upset when he turned all rape-y... Excellent film & performance, of course, but...
