Josh Hartnett: "Teddy Bear" video

Josh Hartnett at 'The New York Times Style's 5th anniversary

Josh Hartnett has been actually a latent crush of mine for a long time, alongside other of my intermittent passions towards Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Emile Hirsch or Ryan Gosling. I had kind of overlooked him in his Pearl Harbor 'hottie' era but he has changed lately his career's outlook and has chosen pretty interesting projects, most of them low-budget and indie films. Being an avid fan of the noir genre, I also enjoyed Hartnett playing a disoriented 1940s detective in "The Black Dahlia", despite of its confusing script and a stilted performance by Scarlett Johansson (Hilary Swank went slightly over the top with her femme-fatale interpretation). Also his performance as The Man in "Sin City" is a little treasure to cherish. Even "Lucky Number Slevin" had a strange dose of twisted humor and neo-noir elements enhancing its intrincate revenge plot. And I found one of his quotes very inspiring: "Be honest with yourself and lie to everyone else."

Josh Hartnett and Tamsin Egerton co-star in "Singularity" (2013) directed by Roland Joffé, a riveting tale of an impossible love set across two time periods and continents.

Josh Hartnett and Jake Gyllenhaal have in common a liking to blonde actresses (Josh was spotted “making out like crazy” with Kirsten Dunst at the Sundance Film Festival in 2008) and a recent taste for occasional growing of facial hair which isn't always the most flattering to their gorgeousness -it gives them a more mature aura, though. It also makes them appear as cuddly teddy bears.

That's one of the references in this video-archive (it lasts over 40 minutes) I've compiled of Josh Hartnett (I've made some of the screencaps included too): "Teddy Bear" - which features photos and stills of his films "The Faculty" (with Laura Harris), "The Virgin Suicides" (with Kirsten Dunst), "Here On Earth" (with Leelee Sobieski), "Pearl Harbor" (with Kate Beckinsale), "O" (with Julia Stiles), "Black Hawk Down" (with Ewan McGregor), "40 Days and 40 Nights" (with Shannyn Sossamon), "Hollywood Homicide" (with Harrison Ford), "Wicker Park" (with Diane Kruger, Rose Byrne and Jessica Paré), "Sin City" (with Marley Shelton), "Mozart and the Whale" (with Radha Mitchell), "Lucky Number Slevin" (with Lucy Liu), "The Black Dahlia" (with Scarlett Johansson, Hilary Swank, Aaron Eckhart and Rose McGowan), "Resurrecting the Champ", "30 Days of Night" (with Melissa George), "August" (with Naomie Harris), "Rain Man" theatrical play (with Naomi Watts), "I Come with the Rain", "Bunraku", "Girl Walks Into a Bar" (with Carla Gugino), "Stuck Between Stations", and "Singularity" (with Tamsin Egerton and Bipasha Basu). Also photos with fellow actors Emile Hirsch, Jake Gyllenhaal, Winona Ryder, Natalie Portman, Kate Hudson, Amanda Seyfried, Amber Sainsbury, model Helena Christensen, model Gemma Ward, ex-girlfriend Ellen Fenster, ex-girlfriend model Sophia Lie, etc.
