<p>If it were a genuine question at a global level:</p>

<p>Russell Crowe as an accident of birth.</p>
<p>Peter Jackson</p>

<p>That's about it, isn't it?</p> -

<p>Sam Neill ? Jonah ? ( RIP )</p> -
<p>like it or not, Lorde is probably up there, Cliff Curtis...are sports stars really A-listers in NZ?</p>

<p>Jonah had his own playstation game, cologne, burger and had to turn down a role in a bond film. That's as A list as possible for a kiwi on a worldwide scale.</p> -
<p>you might be right, but then I dunno if many in NZ class anyone as A-listers, except some Z-listers who think they are A-Listers (Jeggas G/f Millie Holmes for example)</p>

<p>There's plenty of NZ X factor contestants, TV hosts, socialites and Mediaworks employees happy to take up that mantle.</p> -
<p>I want to see a reality show where the Bachelor girls, the real housewives, the GC, the Ridges, Millie Holmes, and Pebbles Hooper get dropped onto an island with a pocket knife.</p>

<p>Last woman standing gets a letter of appreciation from the PM, and a house in Mangere.</p> -
<p>I thought about both Sam Neill and Lorde and rejected the both.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sam used to be through the Jurassic Park period, but he's semi-retired and if he's in big movies these days then it's surely cameo parts.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lorde probably was for a while, but right now she seems like "That girl who used to sing Royals". She might be hanging out with Taylor Swft, but I reckon she's slipped down the pecking order. If the A-list is the Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise's of the world, then Lorde isn't going to cut the mustard. B-list for me.</p> -

<p>I remember her and Lydia Ko won some sort of teenager of the year award and a mate of a mate shared all sorts of wank shit on facebook and got on the bandwagon of how proud he was of these awesome girls.....I pointed out that it was creepy that a bloke in his mid 30s was going on about this.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He then defriended me.</p> -
<p>that guys sounds smart</p>

<p>so i've been told</p>

<p>I think Russell is officially Australian now. Cliff Curtis is Mexican. I think... he's definately been Mexican in everything I've seen him in since Once Were Warriors. Except that time he was an Arab.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Maybe Lucy Lawless. Or the guys from the Concords. Tho' the fact I can't remember their names (Brett & ... ) isn't selling that. I'm sure they are A list in NZ tho'. Lorde would definately be A List. Tho globally some of that is due to hanging out with Tatylor Swift. </p> -
<p>What about that bird that slept with Robbie Williams in 2000 and told everyone about it. She's about as A-List as it gets, isn't she?</p>

The Little Richard comparison is perhaps s little harsh but all things considered fair. -

<p>In the US he'd maybe be known. In Oklahoma... outside the US. If I saw him I'd probably think "Is that Victor Matfield!? Steven Luatua after an illness?!" and be excited, and go "oh, nope just some tall no one"</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It always astonishes me how much NZers follow basketball. Especially given we are largely a nation of not especially tall, built like brick shithouse people. Average NZ body shape is probably Piri Weepu. </p>

<p>Who's the NASCAR new zealanders that no one outside NASCAR has ever heard off & no NZer would recognise but has heard of? Dixon?</p>
