Just over a month ago, Ed Speleers was walking the red carpet as the star of "Eragon", the dragon movie that would go on to earn almost a quarter billion dollars at the box office. Today, he's making 14 dollars an hour as a laborer in East Sussex, England. His IMDb page lists no future projects but his family says he's looking at various roles. A source on the worksite says:
"It's a far cry from the red carpet. Edward is very much the brickie when he is here. He's chiseling walls and puffing cigs in a hard hat and fluorescent jacket. He's a nice, down-to-earth lad."
This reminds me of when I had my first taste of stardom, except instead of getting a job as a day laborer, I had sex with tons of models and lit my cigars with matches made of gold. On second thought, I guess our reactions weren't that similar after all.
By the way, wtf is with that hard hat. And does anyone else think they got the name Eragon because someone fucked up typing 'dragon'. Slow day? You better believe it!
first to notice this guy is a loser
multiple talents. by the way, i’m the best. still.
Chicks are always falling all over me in my fluorescent jacket. Of course, there’s always even money they’ll ask me if I’m a crossing guard. But movie star? Not so much.
say what now slip?
Is that a “cold” chisel he’s using? Because it sure looks cold. And whassup wit da niggas hard hat? Is that how the young people are wearing them these days?
Which movie was Eragon? Was that the one with the crook who dressed up as a baby, and was then forced into numerous homoerotic situations with his supposed father?
No it was the one with the flying dragon and the talking lion.
No, it was the one with the flying carpet and Robin Williams… poor bastard (the young lad that is, Robin Williams is a cunt).
This reminds me of KFED, except replace “Movie Star” with “Fucked Britney”, and “Brick Layer” with “Street Urchin”.
Robin Williams shares a birthday with Josh Hartnett.
Who gives a shit about this Speleers tool.
Good for him. The typical American child star would be laying about the house, eating handfuls of Cheetos and hollering for Mommy to “make him some pie”. If movies fail him, he’ll always have a skill.
He’s got a bit-o-grub under there? I suspect that if a brick falls on him that hat won’t help much.
Maybe he’ll think next time before signing to star in a movie for the princely sum of $147.00. “Oh, but I thought they meant 147 EUROS,” he whined.
Fuckin’ A, Michael… I totally respect this dude. Whoever he is.
I thought they said “prick layer”
Nothing but respect for an actual laborer, down to earth guy…props.
Who…..the fuck….is Ed Speleers?
Maybe his hard hat doesn’t fit because being in a movie gave him…[wait for it] a swelled head! [Thanks, I'll be here all week, be sure to tip your waitress.] Seriously, you wouldn’t see a REAL movie star like, um, Tom Cruise working construction between films. Unless he was building his spaceship to planet Megatroyd.
“Down to earth guy”? Try “fucking moron”. How can you respect a person that just starred in a multi-million dollar movie and is too stupid to land other roles while he’s still known, so instead he returns to the streets to chisel walls? This guy’s an asshole, and his agent must be on vacation.
