Would one Mr. Christian Bale please report to the Celebrity Dad Faceoff Hall of Fame?  Paging Mr. Christian Bale!

He manged to fight off quite the few competitors to earn himself a cushy retirement in the Hall.  He needs to say hello to Jon Stewart for me.

The ultimate victory brings two brand-new challengers to the game.  Both are British, one a musician in a band that hasn’t had a hit in quite a while. The the other is an actor who starred in one of the most critically acclaimed television shows ever.

And both are mighty pleasant to look at on a Friday.

VERSUS

Oh Christian Bale, you are indeed a conqueror.  He managed to squash poor Joseph Fiennes out of the competition, winning by a sixty percent margin.

All right, I’ve got one challenger left.  If he wins this one, Mr. Bale will find himself in the hallowed halls of the CDF Hall of Fame.

But, let’s get to it, shall we?  This next actor, although versatile, will forever be branded in my mind as Oskar Schindler.

VERSUS

Daniel Day-Lewis and his scarily intense stare were not enough to peel you away from one Mr. Christian Bale.  Frankly, I totally understand.  I’ve somehow failed to see Mr. Day-Lewis’ attractiveness from the get-go, although I certainly admire his acting ability.

Today I’ve got a Brit whom we all fell in love with way back in 1988.  I mean, seriously, who did not love this guy in this movie?  I dare you to say you didn’t.  I even liked Gwinnie then, too.  That part has changed, but this is still a “fine” specimen of a man.

VERSUS

Eric McCormack, despite his purty blue eyes, did not manage to unseat our volatile but easy-on-the-eyes Mr. Bale.

So, you ask? Who’s next?

Well, a man who totally wants your milkshake… He has never been my style, but I know that the ladies who love this British actor really love him.  And not in an innocent way, either.

VERSUS

For being up against super sex-ay Christian Bale, Will Arnett really didn’t do all that badly. He got thirty seven percent of the vote, which means many of you also think a sense of humor counts for quite a bit.

As for today, I’ve got another Canadian actor who was made famous by some lil’ television show where he played the gay roommate of a woman named Grace.

VERSUS

You know how you know your life is in trouble?

When you think Friday is Thursday, that’s when.  And then you forget to put up your Friday specialty post until sometime in the afternoon because you only realized it was Friday in the last thirty minutes.

Sad, really.

Who else might be a little sad?  Seal, who lost to Christian Bale with only twenty six percent of the vote.  Although I’m betting that if he asks nicely, Heidi will give him a hug.

So who is today’s challenger?  Well, I’m forced to go to Canada for my international man hunt.  And this next actor may not be conventionally handsome, but to me, a sense of humor goes a mighty long way.  He has forever won my heart as GOB.

VERSUS

Christian Bale crushed Antonio Banderas under the weight of his chiseled physique, winning with over seventy percent of the vote.  I can admit that Mr. Banderas is a very attractive man, but he just doesn’t ring my bell the way Bale does.  You like how I did that? Yeah, it’s Friday.  At least I tried. 

Today’s contender hails from England, and is well known around the globe for his smooth and soulful sound.  Oh, and a little thing about being married to some chick named Heidi.

VERSUS

Oh Naveen! You were SO close to winning! I’m guessing only two votes separated him from winner Antonio Banderas. But no matter how much of a squeaker it was, Mr. Banderas still emerged victorious.

Today’s challenger was born in England, and has been acting since he was a child.  He is also rather insanely hot.  It’s the chiseled jawline and cheekbones that get me every time.

And, it’s fitting that they go up against each other, as each actor has an action character that they are well known for portraying.
