My favorite local Celebrity is Matthias Schweighöfer. :o)

Matthias is a German actor, dubbing actor, singer, film director and producer. In Germany I think he's mostly known for doing comedy movies but he also did a lot of other movie genres the last few years.

One of the first movie that I watched with him (and is actually also one of my favorite German movie) was "Friendship!". It's a biography / road movie about two boys grewing up in East Germany and then trying to get to San Francisco.

Outside of Germany you may know him from "Army of the Dead", "Army of Thieves", "The Swimmers", "Oppenheimer" and "Heart of Stone". :D (What a nice surprise it was for me when he actually showed up in "Oppenheimer". <3)

Maaan, this was a really tough challenge! It took me ages to decide on an absolute fave. I really wanted to have a woman there, too, but really couldn't come up with one I love enough to icon. So here you go, four icons of my favorite famous German person: Loriot.

He was a humorist who drew comics and animated films, made tv shows and movies, and all of them with a wonderfully subtle sense of humor. Here's a representative (if sadly very LQ) clip of the sketch where my fourth icon is from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uV-IZBIkudk

The texts on the icons are in German, perforce, but I made an English alt of the "mask" one.

I have a lot of favorite celebrities, but I decided to highlight 2 of my favorites from the FX series: What We Do in the Shadows.

The first is Harvey Guillén. I've had a crush on Harvey Guillén since he had a bit role on Raising Hope. He also had a small role in The Magicians. In What We Do in the Shadows, he plays Guillermo Delacruz, a familiar longing to be a vampire who's also related to Van Helsing. I also love that he's playing a gay character.

Originally, the second was the legendary Matt Berry. He played Douglas Reynholm in The IT Crowd (parts of the show has not aged well at all). He plays Laszlo Cravensworth in What We Do in the Shadows. Matt Berry is hilarious in everything I've seen him in. But, I realized he isn't actually from my country (the United States), so I went with one of my all-time favorites.

John Candy. I don't think the guy gets enough love these days. I think the first role I saw him play was in The Great Outdoors, but I could be wrong. In my opinion, his most memorable role was as Uncle Buck in Uncle Buck. I had a crush on the guy as well. Yes, I have a type, LOL!

Dear members,

I only wanted to let you know that I changed the description for this Challenge a little bit:

"If - by any chance - there is no celebrity you can think of OR you don't feel comfortable to let us know what country you're from you may also expand your country and use someone from your own continent instead of only country."

I don't have problems letting people know that I'm German. But I then realized that some may not feel comfortable with sharing what their country is. So I changed the rules. :o)

Feel free to use your continent instead of only your country. :o) (I just hope that nobody's from Antarctica because this would make things really hard here.)

The task is (hopefully) pretty simple: Take any Celebrity from your own country that you love. :o) It honestly doesn't matter what their job is. It's only important that they're some sort of famous and from your own country. :o) If - by any chance - there is no Celebrity you can think of OR you don't feel comfortable to let us know what country you're from you may also expand your country and use someone from your own continent instead of only country.

You may use any picture that has your celebrity on it. This include any tv / movie screencap, photoshoot and/or public appearance.
