You might not realize it, but a lot of the greatest actors you see today have starred in not-so-big-budget films. Take cuties Ellen Page and Michael Cera for example. Juno was pretty low budget and cost only $7.5 million to make. (For reference, something bigger like The Dark Knight cost $250 million!) But since Juno garnered far more attention than that of the usual independent movie, here are the hottest stars from lesser-known indie flicks:
Emma Roberts in Celeste and Jesse Forever
We don’t exactly know Em’s part in this movie — debuting this weekend! — considering she’s not playing Celeste. Or Jesse. But still, we can’t wait to see her in it.
PalmStar Entertainment
Anton Yelchin in Like Crazy
Make sure to purchase a box of tissues before watching Anton & his on-screen love, Felicity Jones. Their love story is beyond words.
Super Crispy Entertainment
Penn Badgley in Margin Call
A hot guy in a hot ride? Count us in!
Before The Door Pictures
Kristen Stewart in Welcome to the Rileys
Even with the globs of eyeliner KStew had to sport throughout this flick,
she’s still bella beautiful.
Destination Films
Tristan Wilds in The Secret Life of Bees
We never would’ve guessed that the guy with the small role opposite Dakota Fanning and Jennifer Hudson would turn into a 90210 stud. But we’re glad he did.
Overbrook Entertainment
Shiloh Fernandez in Skateland
Before he caused havoc in Red Riding Hood, he blew us away with this performance. Now if only he’d do more mainstream flicks like RRH… We can’t get enough of Shiloh!
Freeman Film
Jim Sturgess in One Day
He’s shirtless. He’s British. That is all.
Focus Features
Jesse Eisenberg in Holy Rollers
Mark Zuckerberg’s got nothing on Jesse’s character in this dramatic film about a drug bust. He’s so awkward yet so undeniably cute.
Safehouse Pictures
Ryan Gosling in Drive
Yes, we’re aware that RyGos falls under almost every Hottie of the Week category ever.
We’re sure you don’t mind though, right?
Bold Films
Andrew Garfield in Never Let Me Go
Just as the title suggests, you’d never wanna let Andrew go after seeing this one.
It’s heartbreaking.
DNA Films
*BONUS* Justin Timberlake in Alpha Dog
Hey, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to show off JT all tatted up and bad-ass.
Sidney Kimmel Entertainment
Spread the Word
Who picked these guys out?????The only erxeemtly hot guy is Darren Criss!!!!IS it just me or does Jaden Smith look like Wanda Sykes, Cody Simpson looks like Uma Therman and Justin Beiber could grow his hair out and look like Emma Watson. Maybe they could have won, prettiest , but not hottest .What about Cam Gigandet and Oliver Jackson-Cohen?
“Yes, we’re aware that RyGos falls under almost every Hottie of the Week category ever. We’re sure you don’t mind though, right?”
I mind. -.- I don’t think he’s hot–or even cute. Or anything except overrated. I’m not seeing what apparently everyone else sees in him.
Excuse me! Did you see Ryan Gosling in The Notebook? Because if you hadn’t, well then you could have the chance of being pardoned. But if you have and you still don’t agree-…………………………………………. then you have a problem! And I am really sorry if I sound really mean but it’s Ryan Gosling-who can you blame!?
I’ve seen The Notebook . . . o_o He’s still overrated. And I don’t have a problem. I. Just. Don’t. See. It.
