Now I don't just adore Aidan because of his looks. I find him hilarious! He is also an amazing actor!
I first 'discovered' if you like who he was from The Hobbit which is one of my favorite films, it also has Martin Freeman, who I've also wrote a post about. The first of three of The Hobbit films was released in 2012, and I loved it. I loved the Lord of the Rings but I liked these a little better. I love his character, well Fili and Kili. I think the actors really complimented each other really well and i loved the little jokes they would do to try and annoy Bilbo (which always worked).
This scene is still one of my favorites of the film as we are introduced to the nephews of Thorin Oakensheild (Played by Richard Armitage), Fili (Dean O'Gorman) and Kili (Aidan Turner). Already you can tell they are a little mischievous but also that they like to look out for each other.
Before we go any further I think I should provide you with a little more informs about him if you don't know already…
Aidan Turner looking serious but as hot as ever!

I feel like we should / need to talk about Aidan in Being Human I mean him as a vampire was awesome. I loved how his character, Mitchel and Russel Tovey's character, George bounce off each other and the 'banter' they had. That was even better, I watched it again the other week and completely forgot how it made me laugh. I also realise I say a line from the show that George says in one of the first episodes which is "is everyone taking stupid pills". Even thinking about it or writing about it makes me laugh.
I also believe we MUST talk about his accent. I mean…wow. I'm always surprised when i do hear his accent. I think its because he never really keeps it in movies and TV shows.
Heres a little (ish) video of him being adorable and funny: Try watching this and not smile or laugh!
Did you smile and laugh? I bet you did...
Isn't he just so adorable and precious!!
Look at his little smile <3
This has to be my favorite gif ever!!! I laughed way too hard at this to I had to put it in for you viewing pleasure.
Today as I was finishing this post I Googled him to find the pictures and he has just finished a weeks filming Poldark. Not only that but some people had met him on a train form Bristol to Bath...
Now if it was me who was sat next to Aidan I would be on the phone to my friend straight away and then taking pictures every five seconds! I mean not in a creepy way but just to make sure he was actually there and I wasn't going crazy and seeing things.
Seriously though could you imagine a whole train ride with one of your favorite actors I mean I think I would faint (In the hope he would catch me obviously...).
This is the picture from the train look how cute he looks <3 <3
I am going to leave you with this adorable picture of the wonderful Aidan Turner!
Thanks for reading! See you soon monkeyrhiannon xx
Everyone or at least most people know who Leo is... If you don't where have you been! Here is a little bit about him before I start...
Name: Leonardo Wilhelm DiCaprio
Born: November 1, 1974
Films Most Known For:
Titanic (1997)
The Departed (2006)
Inception (2010)
The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)
Other Films:
Romeo + Juliet
The Beach
The Aviator
Blood Diamond
Catch Me If You Can
Shutter Island
Django Unchained
The Great Gatsby
Most Recent Film: The Revenant
Upcoming Movie: Live By Night
I think most of you know what I am going to talk about... This man above in the gif has NEVER won an Oscar. The Oscars are coming up and the nominees have been released, take a look here in the link, I mean if you want to http://oscar.go.com/nominees
I really think he does deserve an Oscar! He's been in so many amazing films and played such diverse career and very few actors have.
A Few Funny Memes:
I can't understand why he hasn't won one because if the people who decide these things thought he wasn't worthy enough to have an Oscar surely they wouldn't keep nominating him.
I think one of my favorite films of his is Shutter Island I used to watch little bits of it each morning before I went to school and I didn't want to stop watching it. I loved the twist it had at the end, I've only watched it once and its still one of my favorites! Another is probably The Beach I can't remember why I watched it. I think someone must of mentioned it in school or something. I remember watching it and loving the place where they were, I also thought it was like a 'happy' film as such but by the end of the film I was sort of like 'wow this is dark'. I still loved it though!!
I did sort of enjoy Romeo + Juliet however I couldn't watch it now as I don't really like Shakespeare, I studied Romeo + Juliet for 3 years straight in school so I just can't now. The only Shakespeare play I like is A Midsummer Nights Dream.
In college I'm doing The Great Gatsby inEnglish and I had already seen the film before so every time I read it and Gatsby is in it all I can imagine is Leo (which I don't think is a bad thing). The only problem is I never seem to make it to the end of the film because my dad turns it off.
Anyway, although Leo said that he was flattered that people want him to have an Oscar, he doesn't want one because that's not why he does this job. If you could call it a job!
"The best thing about acting is that I lose myself in another character and actually get paid for it. Its a great outlet. As for myself, I'm not sure who I am. It seems that I change everyday" - Leonardo DiCaprio
It all began in a galaxy far far away in 1977 Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope was born. However when it was released in 1977 it was called that it was only called Star Wars the episode number and 'a new hope' would be added with the films April 10, 1981, theatrical re-release. Here we see Luke Skywalker join forces with a Jedi Knight, a cocky pilot, a wookiee and two droids to save the galaxy from the Empire's world-destroying battle-station, while also attempting to rescue Princess Leia from the evil Darth Vader. Second in the trilogy was Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back, which was released in 1980.After the rebels have been brutally overpowered by the Empire on there newly established base, Luke Skywalker takes the advanced Jedi training with Master Yoda, while his friends are pursued by Darth Vader as part of a plan to capture Luke. In 1983 Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi was released to complete to form the first 3 Star Wars films. In this episode the rebels are attempt to destroy the second Death Star, after rescuing Han Solo from the Palace of Jabba the Hutt, while Luke is struggling to make Vader turn from the dark side of the Force. Then in 1999 Star Wars returned to our cinemas, but this time they were prequels. The first one out of the three was Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace. This episode show two Jedi Knights a hostile blockade to find allies and become friends with a young boy who may bring balance to the Force, but the long dormant Sith resurface to reclaim there old glory. The second was Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones that was released in 2002. Ten years after meeting, Anakin Skywalker shares a romance with Padme, while Obi-Wan investigates an assassination attempt on the Senitor and discovering a secret clone army crafted for the Jedi. In 2005 came the last of the prequels, Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith. Where during the near of the clone war, Darth Sidious has revealed himself and is ready to execute the last part of his plan to rule the Galaxy. Sidious is ready for his new apprentice, Lord Vader to step into action and kill the remaining Jedi. Vader, however, struggles to choose the dark side and save his wife or stay loyal to the Jedi order.
38 Years on… J.J.Abrams gives you Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Three decades after the defeat of the Galactic Empire, a new threat arises. The first order attempts to rule the Galaxy and only a ragtag group of heros can stop them, along with the help of the Resistance.
There has been many people say before the film was out that they didn't think it would be very good...
Some people said that they wouldn't enjoy it as the Storm Troopers uniform had been changed.
John Boyega who plays 'Finn'
In an interview with Sway Universe that there were many people who protested againsed the main character 'Finn' being black. (Here's the interview: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eHqdcMIGCic)
Many people recognized it as a 'state side thing' however it also could of been a worldwide thing. Also many people where confused about the trailer and said it made us believe that 'Finn' was a Jedi.I have to admit I did too but and I can understand why people thought that as he was holding Luke's lightsaber. I have a theory as to why they have done this. They may have made the trailer like this as to make you think this, so you are surprised when you find out he isn't but really 'Rey', played by Daisy Ridley, is a Jedi. I asked my Dad and my friend on there opinions of Finn.
My Dad, Rab: "Someone who's trying to do the right thing, a bit heroic. He is also loyal."
My Friend, Mia:"Is a strong young male protagonist who really brings the whole franchise back to life. He is very complex and has a very interesting back story which leaves the audience engaged with how he will develop.In moments he can be very serious and guide the whole narrative while in other scenes he can be funny and entertaining especially for younger audiences. It will be interesting to see how the story of Finn unfolds. Overall I think he is a great addition to the Star Wars franchise and will become "one of the greats" like Luke Skywalker to many audiences across the world and in the future"

Daisy Ridley who plays 'Rey'
Next up is Rey, who in my opinion is a badass! Rey is a human scavenger who was waiting for her family to return to Jakku. But then while on a quest to find Luke Skywalker discovered her latent Force-sensitivity. Rey is played by Daisy Ridley, who said in an interview that she always imagined what it would like to have her face on the side of buses... Now she doesn't have to imagine! (i could imagine it to be quite weird).
From the trailer I didn't have a strong opinion of Rey, i just thought she was just there to help the story along in a way. I was wrong...
We all know that she will need training in the ways of the Force, but we also know who will provide that. The one the only Luke Skywalker. It has also been leaked on a Disney Infinity game that Rey was Luke's daughter. I had guessed this but my dad insisted that she wasn't. Disney did take it out of the game but not quick enough for people not to pick up on it. On the game when Rey and Kylo Ren fight, Kylo Ren called her cousin.
There were defiantly signs that Daisy was Luke's daughter or at least a Skywalker. The Reasons Are:
When Rey firsts meets Maz Kanata, she hint that she might know Rey, she says ' I have lived long enough to see the same eyes in different people. I see your eyes... I know your eyes!'
Rey also finds Luke Skywalker's old lightsaber after she had heard a girl screaming, which I think it was her when she was left on Jakku, the lightsaber called to her. When she touched the lightsaber she had a vision which was showing her destiny.
I understand that it may be too obvious but maybe they did this on purpose, to make you think its too obvious so you think different. Once again I asked Dad and my friend about there views on Rey:
My Dad, Rab: "Character that has hidden depth, resourceful, brave, opportunistic and tough."
My Friend, Mia:"Has been portrayed very well and is refreshing for the audiences to see a strong female protagonist. Unlike Katniss from The Hunger Games Rey doesn't need have to be sexualised/objectified. She doesn't have to wear revealing clothes so audiences like her. She is a great role model and shows girls that you don't need men around you to help/save you. She is a very complex character which leaves the audience wanting to understand her background and see how the character develops. Overall I think Rey is a strong female character we've needed in modern day cinema and has bought to the screen a role model for generations to come"
Other Movies and TV Shows:
Casualty
Silent Witness
Mr Selfridge
Finally Kylo Ren, played by Adam Driver. Kylo Ren is the son to Han Solo and Princess Leia. He was a force sensitive human who was training as a Jedi with Jedi Master Luke Skywalker but then turned to the dark side of the force and joining the Knights of Ren. His original name is Ben Solo.
Adam Driver who plays 'Kylo Ren'
I love a baddy, and i do have a slight crush on him however I still don't like him... or I shouldn't is a better way to but it!
SPOILER ALERT if you haven't seen it yet...
I can not and will not believe he killed Han Solo, i mean thats his own father! Clearly he had some daddy issues but there was no need to kill the poor guy!!! When i went to see it in the cinema my dad actually said out loud "oh you b*****ed". I stuck my middle finger up at the screen. It also took me a feel seconds to realise what he done and i still can not believe it!
I asked my Dad and my friend to give some opinions on Kylo Ren:
My Dad, Rab: "Bit of a dick because he killed Han Solo, also conflicted and weak. Impressionable."
My Friend, Mia:"is very convincing in his role and really brings the evil to the film. I am looking forward to seeing how his relationships between all the other characters unfolds. Although we are meant to dislike him I also feel a sense of wanting to know more and to see why he is like he is. He is a very interesting character and a great addition to the film"

Overall I loved this film although i didn't grow up with the originals i still watched them first to i knew the full story and i so happy that they have decided to do more. It was the first time ever that i had seen a Star Wars movie in the cinema. And when we were in the cinema my dad had the biggest smile on his face and said "its like I'm a kid again".
The Tenderloins are a comedy group from Staten Island, New York. The members are Brian "Q" Quinn, James "Murr" Murray, Joe Gatto and Salvatore "Sal" Vulcano. They are currently stars in the television series, which they created, Impractical Jokers. This series airs on Comedy Central in the UK and on truTV in the US.
The show is a hidden camera-practical joke reality show which is mainly filmed in New York and New Jersey. The guys don't make fun of the public, instead they try to embarrass each other as much as possible by telling each other what to say/do.
This is how every episode starts with the "Warning" sign. When I first started to watch it I thought the warning was serious. I must admit the things some of them do on the show, I wouldn't had the guts to do. EVER!
Next are the titles which sort of introduce them. The Tenderloins didn't always have this on there show I think it was brought in around season 3.
This takes me onto what they do, they basically have different challenges each episode (sometimes they repeat the same challenges in other episodes but only if it goes well) that they have to complete but if they can't do it. They loose.
Who ever gets the most losses takes a loss on the whole thing which then ends in a punishment that the other guys have chosen for them. Sometimes they have multiple losers therefore only one of the Jokers chooses the punishment. Some of the punishments are very cringe worthy but that's what makes it funny.
Murr has had to to be naked more than once for a punishment. One time he had to be a nude model, which doesn't sound too bad BUT he had to do whatever the guys told him to do...
The other time was when Joe and Murr lost and they both had to strip in public. It gotten to the point where there underwear was next, Murr was taking too long, in Joe's eyes, therefore he pulled Murr's underwear down for him…
All About Joe:
Name: Joe Gatto
Born: June 5 1976
Best Quote: 'LARRY!' What the video to discover the history of Larry>>>>>>>>>>
He has NO shame at all! He never gets embarrassed... for one punishment the guys thought they could make him embarrassed...they were wrong. He had to go into the bathroom of a small cafe/restaurant and open the door wide open and ask for more loo role. He did it and walked out like nothing had happened.
All About Q:
Name: Brian "Q" Quinn
Born: March 14 1976
Best Quote: 'Alright Moustache' (FACT they aren't allowed to film in the shopping market where this happened)
To the others he always seems to look homeless, he does a little... he can't seem to pronounce his words under pressure.
One of the worst and cruelest punishments Q got was when he had to get his back pack of a dangerous animal. Find out what happened in this video
All About Sal:
Name: Salvatore "Sal" Vulcano
Born: November 5 1976
Best Quote: 'See little girl I will not hesitate to punch you' Now I'm going to have to explain this with a little video of his punishment from a haunted field (he hates them along with, the common cold, cats, traffic, sweat, pointy objects, strong winds, general filth)
He ALWAYS falls over laughing and that's the thing that makes me laugh even more
All About Murr:
Name: James "Murr" Murray
Born: May 1 1976
Best Qoute: 'I've got a foolproof plan' However his plans very rarely work...hardly ever
He looks like a ferret. He said for 3 seasons he didn't until season 4 when he finally accepted his inner ferret.
Now we are going to move onto some facts about The Tenderloins:
They formed in 1999, after they finished college
They got the name from embarrassing words Sal made in high school
They came up with the idea for Impractical Jokers in Joe and Murr's living room (they lived together for 5 years)
The guys have been friends since they were 14
Some facts of Impractical Jokers:
It was originally called 'Mission: Uncomfortable'
They started filming in 2010, 2 years before it was aired
Through season 2 they still did their day jobs then went to film the show
The show has become so popular that there are other virsions of the show, such as Mexican jokers, UK Jokers (which only lasted 2 years), Swedish Jokers. Some of them, such as the UK, have a woman in.
Finally I'm going to finish by recommending watching them. They can make you laugh until your sick...which has happened on the show also...poor Q. They can make you laugh when your sad. I love to watch them when I'm ill, however when you have a bad cough it makes it worse but its all worth it!!
I will now leave you with 10 best moments of the show... Please don't die from laughter...
Also leaving you with mine and Mia's favorite challenge, the two way mirror...they must not laugh, while interviewing strangers, meanwhile the guys will be trying there best to make you laugh! Sal will be an easy one, even a fart noise makes him laugh... These men are meant to be 39...maybe not on the inside....
In December I went with my college to the one place I have wanted to go forever. And what is even better I got to go around with my friend, Mia. We always used to talk about going there together and now we did, with the help of out college of course.
I don't even know how to tell you how amazing it actually was.
Everything was covered in snow and all Christmasy. It looked amazing, they shut for about 3 days to put all the Christmas decorations up.
Did I cry? yes, twice...
I will tell you why, however I won't tell you the first time as it may ruin the surprise they have at the start
I just wasn't expecting the final part, it was so beautiful and magical...
This is what I saw as soon as I walked in the last room, I had no idea it was there, i was so blown away that it brought tears in my eyes as i had watched videos online of them making it and never thought it would be there. The time it must of took them to place all the details on there must of took hours!
We some of the costumes, props, sets. It was truly magnificent! I don't even know if I could tell you all the things I saw in there.
The Great Hall
The Great Hall was mind blowing, although you only had a limited amount of time in there, as another group would be coming through, It was still great! You seen how they lit the Christmas puddings, the Christmas food that was laid out...
You also saw everyones costumes... The houses where down the sides and right at the front was all the Teachers costumes it was truly magnificent!!!
I would tell you more however I do not want to ruin any surprises for you.
I could live there but maybe not the room with the massive spider in! I nearly had a heart attack when my friend pointed it out, it could of swallowed me whole...you know if it was alive...
The people who work there have literally the best jobs ever!
The Shop
The shop is HUGE! Its so amazing and you could buy everything and spend every last penny you have in there.
I brought:
a Slytherin scarf
a pen
a mug
a chocolate frog (still haven't ate it though, its huge)
some post cards so i can put them up on my wall
a magnet for my Nana, anywhere I go I buy her one
Me and my friend also bought each otheres Christmas presents from there, i got her a Gryffindor pen and she got me a Slytherin one.
I would defiantly recommend going it was one of the best days ever!
"When I'm 80 years old and sitting in my rocking chair, I'll be reading Harry Potter. And my family will say to me 'After all this time?' And I will say, 'Always.'
I don't even know where to start with this post...
I'm going to start with how much I am going to miss seeing new films of his. Me and my friend found out that Alan had passed 12:45pm on Thursday (14 January). We were speechless, we didn't want to believe it, who would want to...
One of the last films we will be able to see is Alice Through the Looking Glass...
Wonderland will never be the same without you...
The wizarding world will never be the same without you...
Alan was an amazing actor, a true inspiration to all. He was such a big part of my child hood. His films won't quite be the same, but at least we will be able to remember him through his amazing acting and kind heart...
May you rest in peace, you will be loved and missed,
The other time was when Joe and Murr lost and they both had to strip in public. It gotten to the point where there underwear was next, Murr was taking too long, in Joe's eyes, therefore he pulled Murr's underwear down for him…
