Daniel Lapaine in Muriel’s Wedding: A Retrospective
I write this with all the love in the world. Why the dramatic title? Well boys and girls, this is actually a re-post because these Australian hotness (I’m referring to both Daniel AND the film) totally deserve it. “Muriel’s Wedding” is for me, the biggest achievement in Australian film history EVER. Like, really. If you haven’t seen or heard about this film, go get it like NOW. Skip Christmas even. Okay maybe not but you get the idea. I don’t even remember how many times I watched “Muriel’s Wedding” over and over again and it never gets old. The ABBA tracks, story, lines and characters are pure genius. The movie starred the amazing Toni Collette before she was Toni Collette as Muriel and Rachel Griffiths before she was Rachel Griffiths as her best friend Rhonda. It was (well) written and directed by P.J Hogan who also directed “My Best Friend’s Wedding”. I don’t wanna blab about the story because YOU. JUST. HAVE. TO. SEE. THIS.
Now that we get my crazy self righteous bossy trait aside, this film has a very handsome Australian hottie that could have been, Daniel Lapaine. He’s all kinds of hot and although he has starred in many Aussie films and television series thereafter (last I remembered was “10th Kingdom” and kinda lost track of him after that), I think he looked his absolute best in “Muriel”. He was one of my VERY first hotties posted like a million years ago in internet time, which translates to 6 mortal years. Yes, SIX friggin’ years when Squarehippies is on Geocities and there were like 3 people visited by accident. Enough talk, let’s drool over Daniel (again).
What are you still doing here? GO GET THE MOVIE NOW!

The hottest thing to ever hit Porpoise Spit. How could I have forgotten him?!!
No, no.. too “pasteurized” for me.
He’s got the “Pretty boy next door” thing down pat, I’ll say that much!
He is really hot . I remember when I saw that movie ….I was in the closet yet , I watched with my mom, my bro and some pets …It was hard to keep the “boy” down ….
oooo yeah..10th kingdom..he was snow white’s grandson or something. he was the crown prince but he got stuck in a dog’s body. he wasn’t really hot back then. he doesn’t do much to me now either..
So hot, but I wish he’d close his mouth instead of that half-gaping deal.
Excellent post, square. I loved that movie but haven’t seen it since it came out. Forgot about this piece of eye-candy.
You’re terrible, Muriel!
Muriel’s Wedding really is the most fantastic film ever. When Mama Mia came out and I was all like “this is shit”, all the girls I went to see it with were all “that’s because you’re a guy”. Erm no! It’s because it’s cack! And Muriel’s Wedding kicks it’s ass in every possible way. Flawless acting, brilliant funny and moving story. And Toni Collette’s got a pretty good singing voice when you hear it.
