Celebrity man of the month Ryan Phillippe photo Cruel Intentions
"People keep trying to make me a movie star but they just don\'t understand. I\'m not a movie star, I\'m an actor."
Ryan has often turned down sure-fire blockbusters in favour of indie films like Crash, Igby Goes Down and Gosford Park, but we can\'t help loving his turn as the dastardly Sebastian Valmont in Cruel Intentions.

If
Ryan hadn\'t been so foolish to turn down the role of Anakin Skywalker because of the age difference between Natalie Portman and himself (seven years), we might never have been subjected to
Hayden Christensen\'s non-existent acting skills.

Ryan is currently dating Australian actress Abbie Cornish who he met while filming Stop-Loss. There were rumours that Abbie may have been the cause of his break-up with Reese Witherspoon, but Ryan has always denied that this was the case. On the subject of remarrying Ryan told chat show host Howard Stern, "I can see doing it again, yeah. And I can certainly see possibly having children again. I\'m pretty young, and there are many beautiful things about that idea of marriage and family."

Ryan\'s latest film, Franklyn, is set in a bizarre, futuristic version of London which is full of odd bods that our man has to dish out a good beating to. Ryan has a black belt in Tae Kwon Do which he was able to put to good use during filming. "It\'s really crazy. I have all these fight scenes in this Edwardian costume. I did all of my stunts myself and I have these boots with a hidden heel. I\'m doing full-on fight scenes on the rooftops in these boots. It\'s ridiculous."

Aside from Tae Kwon Do, Ryan is also a keen writer, cartoonist and photographer. He is also passionate about music and has said in the past that if he could play an instrument he would rather be a musician than an actor. One of his favourite singers of all time is Frank Sinatra. He named his old bulldog after Frank as a tribute.
