Since we've witnessed a lot of young stars appearing more or less from nowhere at one moment and getting numerous roles in biggest blockbusters at the next one, I thought I'd start a new
HOLLYWOOD SPY'S UPCOMING STARS feature. So here's the first part, with some of this year's breakthrough young stars.
SAM CLAFLIN
We've been supporting talented and dashing young Brit
Sam Claflin for some time now here at HOLLYWOOD SPY and we are happy that this year he has managed to charm the audience with his role in
PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES.
The post in which I wrote about him previously has had almost 10,000 readings since the premiere of the film. We first noticed his charisma and warm presence in
PILLARS OF THE EARTH epic series and then in
sf mini series THE LOST FUTURE beside
Sean Bean.
He already has two lucrative lead roles in two future blockbusters: he will play the prince in
SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN beside
Charlize Theron, and a young magician in
fantasy epic THE SEVENTH SON beside
Julianne Moore and Jeff Bridges. He's the next big thing, mind what I say :)
JENNIFER LAWRENCE
She's unusual, since unlike other young stars, she didn't draw attention to her with her looks (which are definitely breathtaking, deeply charismatic and sensual) but with her critically acclaimed role in
THE WINTER BONE for which she got an Oscar nomination as the second youngest actress in the best female role category ever. And then she basically sealed the deal by scoring two huge roles: the role of powerful Mystique in
X-MEN: FIRST CLASS and then the lead role in the biggest of the upcoming YA fantasy films
THE HUNGER GAMES. That pretty much brought her millions of fans around the world. She is already quite a sex symbol.
HENRY CAVILL
To me he's already one of the biggest stars, and one of my favourite celebs for many years now, but it seems that
Henry Cavill's time is finally coming. After spellbinding us all with his role of Duke
Charles Brandon in the four seasons of the
cult TV show THE TUDORS (in which he marvelously depicted the just, loyal and honorable Duke who later on gets haunted by his own conscience for doing deeds the king and the state demanded from him) he will finally shine in the lead roles of two of the biggest upcoming blockbusters: he will be brave Theseus in
Greek epic IMMORTALS this winter after which he shall take the cape of the brave Superman in
THE MAN OF STEEL. He also plays the lead in 2012
action thriller THE COLD LIGHT OF DAY beside
Bruce Willis and Sigourney Weaver. Before THE TUDORS you saw him in STARDUST,
TRISTAN & ISOLDE, THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO and BLOOD CREEK. And yes, he is also British, which is how we like our thespians best :)
Click if you want to read our long post about him from back when he won
THE BEST BRITISH ACTOR poll at HOLLYWOOD SPY.
Stay tuned for the second part of the upcoming stars list!
LINK OF THE DAY Don't forget to visit our dear
David tomorrow at his
