Patrick Wilson's About To Get Real Wet

.
Thank goodness for James Wan and his Patrick Wilson fetish, because without it we wouldn't get half the Patrick Wilson we get in the world - the Conjuring and Insidious director is going blockbuster next with the Aquaman movie starring Jason Momoa, and he's just cast Patrick as the film's villain. Or one of the villains - who even knows, these movies have thirty villains. Anyway PW's playing ORM aka Ocean Master aka Aquaman's half-brother, which is... interesting. Momoa and Wilson look about as brother-like as... well Tom Hiddleston and Chris Hemsworth do, actually. But in weirdly connected news...

... just as I was reading this Aquaman news last night I saw that Patrick Wilson's wife, actress Dagmara Dominczyk, had tweeted out a new entry in her blog, and it reminded me I needed to share an old entry in her blog, or part of it anyway. Dagmara has a connection to one of her husband's upcoming DC universe superhero co-stars - she starred opposite Superman himself Henry Cavill in 2002's The Count of Monte Cristo, and in July of this year she shared a picture from the set with an amusing anecdote:

"Here is me, and young Henry, in some pub in Dublin, Grafton Street, and I am drunk, pretty, cheeky. And so happy. He told me he wanted to be “famous” one day, and me, I laughed and petted the top of his head. Silly boy. “Famous” wasn’t a real word anyway. "

I love  the thought of dreamy young Henry Cavill wistfully wishing for stardom -- I can't be the only one who hears Dawn Davenport applying to get into the Lipstick Beauty Salon...

"I'm a thief and a shit-kicker 
and uh, I'd like to be famous."
