Hump Day Hottie


Once again, the mid-week excitement is upon us! I thought about going really big for this week's edition, maybe pulling a Brad Pitt out of the bag or even an Orlando Bloom. Then I thought, too obvious, stick with the current events and give some love to the men who might not make it on the cover of People (at least on their own). And I think we can all agree that this guy needs a bit of TLC right now. Chances are he's needed a womanly touch for a while, but one can only assume that he wasn't getting it from his control freak diva supreme wife Madonna. Especially since she was likely hitting a few home runs with Mr. A Rod. Poor Guy Ritchie needs us at a time like this. He's been overshadowed by Madge for some many years that his ego must be the size of her appetite (very very small). I feel that it's my duty to highlight his natural hotness and his personal accomplishments outside of her shadow. It's the least I can do. Without further ado:



Physical Fitness: 5/10 - You might notice that I've selected a fully clothed photo of our man of the hour. That was completely intentional. He really doesn't have a bad body or any sort of deformity to speak of, but it's a little mooshy smushy for a shirtless pic. I don't think British men are really into body building, so he is forgiven in my book. He's a beer-drinking pub-visiting type so you can expect a few extra pounds here and there. Now he gets a full 5 points for how snazzy he looks in a suit. I was hoping to find a hot suit picture, but shock! all of the suit pics feature his soon-to-be ex-wife. I'm guessing he only dressed up to please her and to attend her many red carpet events. If he had it his way (soon enough!), I have a feeling he would never wear a suit again. That would be a shame.

Body of Work: 8/10 - Some might think that's a high rating for someone whose most well-known role is playing husband, but hear me out. He has directed two of the most clever and beloved British gangster shoot em up movies ever: Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch. Yes, things started going down the drain for Guy after his marriage. Someone told Madonna she could act so he created a couple films for her and of course they both tanked. The things we do for love. Recently though it's all looking up for him with his new release RocknRolla starring Gerard Butler, Jeremy Piven and Thandie Newton (not bad). Finally, he gets extra points in this category for buying a pub in London...nothing cooler than that.

Mental Stimulation: 6/10 - Guy overcame dyslexia to become one of the most well-known British film directors. He's been able to play it cool with the Kabbalah bandwagon, and he emotionally supported one of the craziest women in the world through the last 8 years of their marriage. He seems like someone who you'd want to have a chat with over a pint and that's enough mental stimulation for me.

Bonus for being British: +1

Overall Hotness Factor: 20/30! Not bad for a guy who keeps his private life private and hasn't dated any supermodels in the last 8 years. Let's just hope that he gets out of this divorce unscathed and accumulates a large sum of her fortune. I'm sure there are two sides to every story, but I wouldn't want to mess with Madge. God bless him.
