Anyway, when you enjoy that much good food and drinks, conversations begin to flow in tandem with the alcohol. The more alcohol, the looser (and more open) those conversations become. A group get together that started off with stiff conversation turned into a rather juicy topic: Hall Passes. And that, my friends, is when people start showing their true colors.
So around the table we went. One woman said her Hall Pass would be Brad Pitt. Another said her Hall Pass would be William Levy. You think The Bachelor's Juan Pablo is hot? Look up William Levy. Muy pero muy caliente. Mine? Well, it would be an extremely easy tough choice for me. Chris Pine is up there, along with Dermot Mulroney, but if I had to choose one I'd have to say Chris Pine. My husband knows I pine for Chris Pine. See what I did there?
In past conversations, my husband's mentioned Halle Berry among others. That night, he said his Hall Pass would be Sofia Vergara. And why not? The woman is drop dead gorgeous with some serious assets. And the men seem to swoon over her accent.
I personally believe that any healthy relationship should allow for such daydream-like conversations. Whether you actually decide to redeem that proverbial pass or not is up to you and your partner, but I believe such conversations are indicative of confidence and trust between two partners. If you can joke about this in a lighthearted way your relationship can weather just about anything.
What if you could have one, no strings-attached Hall Pass, no questions asked…would you take it? And if you did, (I won't judge) wouldn't you make that hall pass count? Wouldn't you pick "the best" you could, as in, a celebrity?
Gerard Butler. Yum. And I always daydream about meeting him, but I don't think I would be able to go through with any hall pass sort of activity.
Gerard Butler is HOT. But I agree with you. I don't think I could go through with the actual hall pass.
I know exactly what I would do if I ran into any of my celeb crushes…stop moving and stop breathing. I know this because it has happened before, twice. I have a thing for Zac Efron, and I have for years. 2 years ago I walked right by him in California and I froze. literally stopped walking and almost fainted. I was with my mom and I couldn't even grab her arm to point towards him. Biggest Regret Ever.
The 2nd time was when my boyfriend noticed my major, more realistic crush, Justin Tucker who is the kicker for the Ravens (double swoon) pumping gas behind us. He encouraged me to go talk to him, and again I froze. When I finally walked up to him I screamed Congratulations asked for a picture and stumbled away.
Did you get the picture???? You're lucky you've ran into 2 celebrities!
I think I'd go with Eric Decker!
I wouldn't take it. I've never really had any celebrity crushes, lol.
My hall pass would be Alejandro Fernandez. And if he's wearing a charro and singing to me, I won't complain.
Ahhhhhhh! He is GORGEOUS! Yes, Alejandro has to be in my bucket. Aren't I greedy? Haha.
I was SO going to write a post like this. My husband and I were talking about our hall passes last night. Mine is hands down Henry Cavill and his is Jessica Burciaga. Although she might be mine too since she's so freaking gorg.
I'm glad to hear another couple engaging in healthy topics. I think it's important that we realize that our significant other didn't stop being attractive (nor attracted to others) just because they're in a committed relationship with us. As long as mutual parties understand that without anything actually happening, it's a totally normal (and fun!) thing to talk about. Thanks for stopping by!
Definitely Zac Efron or Adam Levine…do I sound like a teeny bopper yet?
Haha you do, but there's nothing wrong with being young at heart!
Me and my former fiance had a top 5. My top 5 has since changed, to a top 2: Channing Tatum and Justin Timberlake. I'm all for a hall pass :-) But I don't need one right now anyway!! Haha.
Oh my god. I was reading your post and getting excited to comment because I have also had this conversation with friends, including my boyfriend, and I 100% agree that it is healthy for any relationship or marriage to share their daydreams.
Then, I read the two words Sofia Vergara and immediately jumped right down here before finishing reading the rest. My boyfriend also chose Sofia as his hall pass! Haha clearly she's one hot number but it was too funny all the same. I expected someone closer to our age, like Mila Kunis!
GET. OUT. Haha! My husband drools over her. Sometimes I have to reach over and close his mouth for him when we see her on TV. Too funny!
My husband and I "joke" about this regularly because if I were ever to see them, I would freeze and make a fool out of myself but mine is John Krasinski.
my husband always jokes that Channing Tatum is my other man, but I honestly don't know who I would pick if I had a hall pass! My husband is always surprising me when he tells me which actresses he finds attractive so who knows who he would pick.
Hahah me and Cole do this. We call them our "one-outs" though. Mine changes all the time.. it used to be this NZ rugby player named Sonny Bill Williams, it's been Ryan Reynolds, this guy from an Australian TV show that I forget his name… I always change it. Cole's is always Miranda Ker. Haha!
My hall pass would definitely be used on Timothy Olyphant. Love him!!! Ahhhhhh….
Christian Bale. sweet, sweet Christian Bale. Garrett and I joke about this stuff all the time. He knows how much i love Christian Bale and I know how much he loves Lana Del Rey. and we both know that nothing will ever come from it. it's just fun. because you don't grow out of celebrity crushes. it's just a fact.
