Eric Bana has done everything this summer. Actually, forget this summer: Eric Bana has done just about everything. The 41-year-old Aussie hunk seems to have been born to play rugged action heroes, but this year he’s won our hearts by playing everything but, and for that, he earns the focus of this week’s Star Gazing.
Let’s recap a bit about what he has accomplished so far this year. In January, he returned to animation with as the voice of Damien in “Mary and Max,” an Australian film that made a splash at Sundance. Then he took a nearly unrecognizable turn as Nero in the smash-hit, “Star Trek.” He also made his directorial debut with “Love The Beast,” a documentary about his 25-year-long love for Ford GT Falcon Coupe. Only a few weeks ago, he hit the big screen as Leslie Mann’s adulterous husband in “Funny People,” and this Friday (let me clarify that: finally) he will be battling it out with double up at the box office as the titular time traveler opposite Rachel McAdams in big screen adaptation of “The Time Traveler’s Wife.” Click on the photo below to see Eric at his many various film premieres and read on to find out about his rise to fame.
