Secret photos of famous people
Posted by katiesol in Beautiful things, From around the web, film on February 4th, 2010
There are 125 rare, unlikely and occasionally brilliant photos of the crazy-famous here. Here are five that make me feel like it’s ok just to be a normal person.
Marilyn Monroe and JFK share a moment - I feel so sad for Marilyn Monroe every time I think about their doomed affair. Just goes to show that you can have everything and nothing all at once.
George Clooney - Let’s file this one under ‘there’s hope for us all’.
Johnny Depp and his niece at the beach - Johnny Depp has the most amazing hands I’ve ever seen. Also, gutted to be his niece and it not be acceptable to fancy him.
Francis Ford Coppola showing Akira Kurosawa his new Polaroid - what’s not to love about this photo? They’re these two wildly successful filmmakers but here they just look like your embarrassing dad showing his new camera off to his weird old Japanese friend.
The Star Wars cast - they don’t look anything like you expect them to. Apart from the swoon-worthy Harrison Ford, of course. Carrie Fisher looks ridiculously short! She’s 5′1″ apparently. Carrie: I feel your pain. But half an inch more of it. Damn you.
Pure unadulterated grade-A awesomeness

Unborn children of mine take note: this is what your future holds.
I’d rather have the Lego version, to be honest.
Waterfall sink - like an infinity pool in your kitchen. Yes please.
As good a motto as any.
Finally, a use for all those old boring books I buy from library sales because they look nice but actually they’re rubbish. Happy day.
I just adore this AT-AT Walker inspired lamp, even though it’s completely ridiculous that the light lives in a drawer.
We still love you, Star Wars

With everyone getting het up about the new Star Trek film, poor old usually-cooler Star Wars must be feeling a bit left out. So to show the internet hasn’t forgotten about the rebel alliance and still fully supports its uprising against the heinous empire, enjoy these pictures, videos and stories from creative fanboys with perhaps a little too much time on their hands:
One of my favourite ever YouTube videos - Star Wars retold by someone who’s only seen bits and pieces of the films:
Need some inspiration for your next fancy dress party? Don’t make the mistakes these guys did…
These cheeky criminals have been using star wars disguises to get up to no good - pals of Jabba the Hut, no doubt.
You don’t quite get the same level of emotion from a floppy disk, but it’s a good effort:
No words necessary: Star Wars - the Baroque version
