I’ve had Brain Crushes, Girl Crushes, Car Crushes … but this one may take things to a whole new level.
I’ve been an Eddie Izzard fan ever since I saw him cross-dressing in his hilarious comedy routine Dress To Kill …
If you haven’t seen it, it’s three of the funniest hours you will ever spend. I know many people who can back me up on this.
Of course, the man doesn’t go around in drag all the time. Sometimes he looks like this … :-)
In addition to his own comedy routines, he’s done lots of television and films like Ocean’s 12 and 13 (Clooney and Izzard … a totally crush-worthy combo!).
But I had no idea the man was capable of this … he recently ran 43 marathons in 51 days!
Yes, you read that correctly … 43 marathons in 51 days! So in addition to comic genius you can add TOTAL BADASS to his list of accomplishments. You can read an article all about it here.
Let’s see … smart, ridiculously funny and talented, not-at-all hard on the eyes, and now a serious runner raising money for charity. What more could a girl want? The man can even rock a pair of heels. ;-)
I just stumbled over this blog while I was searching for pictures of Eddie izzard, and I really couldn’t agree more. It is a bit odd for me, a young 20 year old girl to have such a crush, but I am totally embracing it. I mean, what’s not to love? He is amazing.
And I do love a bit of gender play. : )
