June Crush of the Month: Help Me, Obi-Wan!

I. Love. Ewan.

He had me at "Moulin Rouge," singing his heart out as the adorable Christian, obsessed with love (which my sister will scoff at -- she discovered him much sooner). But it was no question who got the monthly crush slot for his gentle-yet-badass Obi-Wan Kenobi in "Star Wars, Episode 3." Alec Guiness would have been proud. Ewan nails the character with grace, and I love old Ben for his commitment and deep care for Anakin, despite the boy's crazy issues that make him betray his old mentor and loyal friend. Ewan's Obi-Wan holds fast to his Jedi convictions, and doesn't back down even when it means abandoning the one he had invested so much of his time and heart into. Obi-Wan, I feel your pain. Now will you marry me?

He's so cute! It's adorable how he looks like he's smiling when he sings. In MR and "Down with love."
