New Year's Movie Weekend: Why women love John Cusack
Posted by Jill | 7:52 PM
Ask any smart woman in the U.S. who the male celebrity she adores most is, and the chances are pretty good that the answer will be "John Cusack."

When you think about all of the guys who were around during the heyday of John Hughes, and if you go back and watch Sixteen Candles, it's hard to believe that that the sex symbol of mid-to-late boomers and gen-x women would be the gangly guy in this short collection of clips:

Agreed. I've actually met John on several occasions, too, and he is exactly that nice -- and just as witty and interesting as you'd hope.

My Londoner Andy has, coincidentally, also met him, and confirms the same. :-)
