CAMPUS COMMENT: Who is your fav celebrity?“I would say Liam Neeson. He’s the voice actor for ‘Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe’—he’s Aslan, the lion. He’s in ‘Star Wars.’ He plays in ‘Taken,’ and he’s in one of the ‘Les Mis’ movies. He seems to pick a good line of characters to play in all the movies he’s in. I feel like I can relate to him. [My favorite movie he plays in] is ‘Taken.’ He doesn’t give up and he doesn’t let anything get in his way… I admire that. All the odds are against him: he can’t find his daughter, but he doesn’t let that stop him. I’m just like, yeah, that’s right… like a boss,” said Erik Adams, a junior in biology from Oregon. “David Archuleta. I have a soft spot for him. I think he’s really good at truly staying Mormon. He’s on his mission now, and I have him on Facebook. His secretary posts stuff that he sends from his mission. So that’s really cool. My favorite song is, ‘You Can.’ It’s a really sweet song, and it’s all on the guitar. I really like the acoustic guitar and the lyrics to that song,” said Esther Candari, a freshman in visual fine arts from Kaneohe. “Arnold Schwarzenegger because I like how he acts in the movies. [My favorite movie he plays in is] ‘Collateral Damage.’ He is always strong in his acting,” said Panapase Butucama, senior in finance from Fiji. “My favorite is Audrey Hepburn. She’s such a classy lady. She was involved with UNICEF and she helped during World War II. I feel like she had a really cool life. She [said] a lot of really cool quotes about beauty like, ‘if you want beautiful lips, make sure that kind words are spoken from them.’ She is very kind and very beautiful and that’s something I really liked about her. She’s an older actress—she’s dead now, but she was in ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ and that is probably her most popular one. That’s my favorite,” said Andrea Hansen, a senior in international cultural studies from Colorado.“I like Amanda Seyfried. She’s the one of the ‘Mean Girls,’ in ‘Les Mis,’ and ‘Dear John.’ I think she’s kind of sweet. I feel like actresses these days are trying to follow what everybody else is doing. They’re trying to be the most sexy, the best of the best. But I don’t feel like she’s competing. She’s just being herself. I love her hair; it’s gorgeous,” said Mckae Joyner, a senior in international cultural studies from Washington. “My favorite would be Leonardo DiCaprio because the way he acts is very realistic. ‘Inception’ [is my favorite movie he plays in] because of the story. At the end, it leaves you questioning, did he die or is he still dreaming? I like that. I like to watch movies that leave you surprised at the end,” said Rommel Lardizabal, a senior in graphic design from the Philippines.“I like Robert Downey, the iron man dude. I’ve seen him play in a variety of roles, [even] the role of a black dude in ‘Tropic Thunder’ and he did really well. He was hilarious. Any type of character he can play and sell it. I like that he’s kind of got this bad-boy edge, but he follows all the rules,” said Jeff Hansen, a business marketing major from Arizona.
