Name a famous actor whose first and last names both are seven letters long. Change the first three letters of the actor's last name to three new letters and you'll name another famous actor. They share the same first name. Add the three letters you changed in the first actor's last name plus the three letters you changed to get the second actor's name, and you'll spell the last name of a third famous actor. Who are these three Hollywood stars?janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05927176621372532733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730391.post-4324165480206267272015-04-26T04:23:04.932-07:002015-04-26T04:23:04.932-07:00Take one of her shoes?Take one of her shoes?SuperZeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08024610786525654860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730391.post-76679159922673419712015-04-26T03:58:50.048-07:002015-04-26T03:58:50.048-07:00On a scale of 1 to 8, both Paul and Word Woman are...On a scale of 1 to 8, both Paul and Word Woman are tens.<br />Oh, and how do you make a bellhop?<br /><br />Lego.elttil a ti dorp uoY<br /><br />legolambdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18081014756741740081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730391.post-61872145092319145432015-04-25T06:12:25.084-07:002015-04-25T06:12:25.084-07:00rubio / rubia ?
