Ryan Phillippe Takes a Bang Break
Ryan Phillippe takes a break from filming The Bang Bang Club in Johannesburg, South Africa on Tuesday (April 7).
The 34-year-old actor co-stars alongside Malin Akerman (Watchmen), and Taylor Kitsch (Friday Night Lights). Based on a true story, the movie follows award winning photographers recounting their stories of pain, violence, and suffering. Ryan will play Greg Marinovich, the Pulitzer Prize winning South African photojournalist.
The movie is expected to be released in 2010.

If you go to the tomato-meter site where celebrities/movie actors are evaluated you will find Ryan is a rotten tomato with a 47% approval rating compared to 71% for Jake Gyllenhaal and 75% for Zac Efron.
Ryan gets usually around $500,000 for a role, once according to imdb he got 2 million. Reese Witherspoon has been getting 14-15 million recently for her movies. The guy was a professional failure compared to his wife and that probably had lots to do with the divorce.
Wow wHoretensia, relax. Your opinion is also only YOUR opinion so maybe you could tone down your criticism and refrain from saying that “anyone with any good sense” can see that he is untalented. That’s not nice nor fair.
As for me, I think he’s hot. His acting is all right, but I think Reese is more talented and deserves the higher pay. I wouldn’t be surprised if she paid for most of his new house, but he could have really taken advantage of the fact that she did not get a prenup, and newspaper articles generally suggested that wasn’t the case, which is admirable. And I have to say, I lost some respect for Reese when she sued for sole custody. Her career is undeniably more successful, which means he probably has more time with the kids… and even if he didn’t, I think it is awful when parents try to deprive their kids of a father or a mother in revenge. It’s so immature and selfish.
Even so, I like both. They are two of the few actors who can make me watch a movie just for them… and I like movies about South Africa, too, so I’m really looking forward to Ryan’s new movie in particular.
But Jake Gyllenhal? Kinda boring IMHO, though a decent actor I guess.
Mandy: some points for you, although I respect your opinions:
1. If I believe something strongly, I obviously think anybody with “good sense” will agree with me. If you don’t, okay, you don’t have sense as good as mine.
2. You are right about Reese being a better actor than he is.
3. I don’t see why she should not try for sole custody. I think children probably do better if their attachments are not divided and there is no “competition” to win their affections. I don’t think “sole custody” would “deprive” them of a father. It would mean simply that they don’t have to be shuttled back and forth from one parent to the other all the time.
4. You are right that Jakey is not a great actor. Not like Heath Ledger. But he is a damn sight better than Ryan as an actor.
LOL Whorey girl at #29 you just gave yourself away as a well known IMDB, REESE fansite ,super fangirl. Why don’t you go update that site. Is it closed? Reese and Ryan broke up three years ago….time to move on or get a man of your own. Are you still upset she didn’t wind up with JOAQUIN? That was supposed to happen. You know about as much about Jake as you did about JP who even in his current state is better off then he would be with Greesey Reesy. LOL I would rather be JP then JG!
He looks like a little boy. So CUTE.
My boo Ryan is gorgeous and looks great no matter what! EVERYONE who hates on him just wishes they could be him. He is beyond talented so get use to seeing his gorgeous face. Move on people. Reese has and is with one of his former BF’s, so get over it!! STOP JUDGING PEOPLE AND LOOK AT YOURSELF FOR ONCE.
