Simon Pegg is kind of adorable. I've only seen him in 1 thing (his breakthrough flick Shaun of the Dead) but really, that is all I needed to come up with this verdict. Granted, he owes a lot to the power of the mighty Brit accent...without that , he could merely be like a Giovanni Ribisi-type figure (mild-to-moderate on the Charm Scale) but he's got that Brit import thang going for him, so that kicks him right up into the next charm bracket (Pretty Damn Charming).
So I was browsing trailers for upcoming movies on Worst Previews (awesome site...I highly recommend) and one of the movies slated for Sept is called Run Fat Boy Run. Well, that title snared my attention, so I checked it out (looks cute, but I think it's probably a rental rather than a multiplex pick) and seeing that it starred Simon Pegg, it made me muse--"Ohh, Simon Pegg..he is really kind of adorable" which moved me to hasten o'er to his write-up on IMDB wherein I discovered (titular odd trivia tidbit coming up...) he is the godfather of Chris Martin & Gwyneth Paltrow's li'l Apple. Fancy that!!
I suppose it's a testament to Pegg's potent adorability that said trivia tidbit does not sour me on him (as I am inexplicably but seriously irked by Gwynnie)
In a barely related story... I was rather taken aback by these pics (spied on the Go Fug Yourself blog) from some mag photo shoot where Gwyneth was feeding a rat from a sippy cup. To quote the profound & defunct Otara Millionaires Club--how bizarre!
I hope she was secretly TERRIFIED.
