John Legend -- Hope It Gives You Hell, Boy

Posted Jun 5th 2009 1:00AM by TMZ Staff

John Legend's major acting career begins and ends with "Soul Men" -- and if he was lookin' to expand his resume, dissing one of the biggest director's around probably wasn't the best way to do it.

Guillermo del Toro & John Legend: Click to watch
John totally blew off "Hellboy" and upcoming "Hobbit" helmer Guillermo del Toro yesterday at JFK.

It's hilarious -- as long as you're not Guillermo.

3. I felt very bad to see the way he treated Guillermo Del Toro. I guess he thought being nice to someone he didn't recognize as a "Big Shot", was beneath him.

5. Wow...

I'd do anything to get that close to GDT. I've been following his career since I can remember. He was totally rude to the magic that is DelToro.

On a side note:

It looked like Legend was just in a hurry, and if you arent prepared for the camera you probably don't want to be near one.

6. I am one who doesnt stick up for "these" types of "people". but John was in a hurry, He has stolen goods in that bag of his.

GDT is a master. He will make that gay ass story about the hob nobbin hobbit pretty damn cool.

10.
John Legend is a douchebag and a "legend in his own mind!"

11. He was in "Soul Men", plural, not "Soul Man" with C. Thomas Howell....

12. Wow, that was really rude. I don't know who Guillermo is, either, but I would have at least paused and smiled at him--the guy had no camera (obviously not a pap) and seemed really friendly; his presence was that of a teddy bear. I would have assumed it was a random fan, if nothing else.

13. Arrogant black racists know no bounds. This dude sucks as a "singer" and is a total prick of a human being.

14. I can guarantee with out a doubt that John Legend spoke to every other RANDOM black person he passed while walking as this is apparently something blacks do . . .I see it all the time, blacks "holla" at other blacks like they are old friends. I wonder how many times the black savior OBAMA has been called "DOG or MY NIGGA" by random fast food employees he comes in contact with during his outings.

15. Unbelievable - but this is typical behavior for blacks. I can guarantee you he spoke to everyother RANDOM black he came in contact with that day like they were old friends. Must be a black thing. I bet even the black savior OBAMA get hollered at all day long by the random fast food employees in which he comes in contact. Hey my DOG, what's my my BROTHER or what up my NGR!
