What Nate said
He drags in a big audience. People watch Celebrity Big Brother because they have heard he is on it.

This is only a thread for if you think he is overated, don't post if you don't agree :D

You guys are really singling RRFan out, you know that?
For christ sake let him make a thread without everyone having a go
No one's stopping you from making an anti-sov thread

Well RRfan could at least make the effort to spell 'overrated' right.

I'm still trying to comprehend the contradiction in someone with 'Rachel Rice' and 'Fan' in their username singling out a housemate for not doing much.

Explain what makes him a god then - other than the obvious fact that you are the sort of female that likes a big muscle bound man to protect you!
Personally, I like the sort with their muscle up top!

Yes, you can, actually. And aside from that, he has appeared in plenty of excellent movies where he plays the comic badass to a tee.

What his background history of assaulting people and ending careers. Is that what you see as heroic achievement?

assaulting people when he was much younger,then coming back and turning his life around,making something of himself and actually showing remorse for said actions? i think that qualifies...
smh at you thinking someone has to give a full and frank reason for calling vinnie jones a legend... grow up

Of course. That's why we like him. It has nothing to do with the movies.

A 44 year old still playing the hard man (whichever way you look at it, he still gets off on that image) - and you like him - not me that needs to grow up dear!

The thing is - it isn't really a role is it! It is just him being himself. Just too old to do for real any more!

Yeah, it is a role. Believe it or not he isn't a gangster with a bullet for a tooth. Or the Juggernaut. He used to be infamous for being a tough man, this landed him a role in Lock Stock, and his career as a hollywood tough man began.
Simple.
He is very overrated considering I haven't seen him really do much at all. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a hate-fan of the guy, I've just yet to see what all the big fuss is about.
Until then, sign me up.

im not sure how a grown man in his mid forties washing up dishes on tv constitutes him playing the hard man,unless your talking about his movies in which case you realise he's an actor right? furthermore theres no doubt he's a jack the lad but surely thats not a crime...

He IS incredibly overrated as a housemate, he hasnt really done anything yet everyone thinks he is great.
But he is also the most famous one in there, so its understandable how he has so many fans before anyone even 'sees his personality'...so to speak.

Assaulting people is! And, yes, I know that was in his youth - but has he really changed, or is it just a case of he is too old to do that anymore - but his thought processes are basically the same. As he always plays the same roles (which is generous, at best) it makes you wonder!

He always plays the same roles because that's his niche. Vinnie is very humble in person and in interviews and will be the first to tell you he is not Jack Nicholson.
The only argument you have to fall back on now is 'well I still think his a thug because, uh ...'.

And that is the same old spiel you give everyone! They have no argument - because you are always right! Your judgement is law!

Add me because imo he is.
But tbh the girl in your name is boring to.

You ignored my last few posts because you eventually realised that Vinnie Jones is an actor and is actually not the Juggernaut in real life, and you are ignoring Brad's point by simply flipping it on him. So of course people are going to assume you have no argument. And now your just arguing about my style of posting again. Like you always do with everyone when they raise a point you don't feel like discussing. That or you bring fallacy into it, like you are doing now by insinuating I am always right - which I am not.
In fact, I am consistently wrong on many things and often poke fun at my own hazy stupidity. Anybody will tell you that.

Yes he must be exactly like the roles he plays in movies. Just like Robert Englund must be a serial killer because that is what he always plays in the movies, or Roy Schneider spends his time hunting down bad guys because he always played a cop, or Alan Rickman being very evil to everyone because he plays those sort of characters.
It's called being typecast.
As to his age and being too old to play a tough guy, well that is normal in hollywood. Look at the likes of Harrison Ford and Bruce Willis playing action roles at their ages, or at the other end of the spectrum women like Ashley Tisdale playing 16 year olds when she's actually 24. Blame the industry for it not Vinnie.

so basically his past actions dictate his future?the idea that he grew up,showed remorse and has since gone on to bigger and better things doesnt show that he's changed?he made a few mistakes,hardly something to chastise the guy for... tbh it would probably damage his career to do so anyway..
and the idea of vinnie playing those roles are simply because he's now been type cast,you wouldnt really believe vin diesel doing a ace ventura type role would you?same goes for vinnie, tbh lets just agree to disagree because im seemingly talking to someone who knows more about vinnies though procresses than anyone else..
so lets just leave it there..

What bull! Brad said I didn't know him, intermating that he did! I have already made it clear that I know about his past, his history of assaulting people, the fact that he ended another footballer's career - not good. So I asked Brad - to put me straight then - tell me what he knows that overrides those things. Not complicated. If he knows of something - great - he can tell me and put me straight can't he. Or maybe there isn't anything specific - he just likes the alpha male tough guy types and is impressed by them.
