Anyone agree? He won two Emmys for best actor yesterday and made history to win both in one night. I just watched the Beast in me and he super in it.

I love him as an actor and I really like his accent but I don’t find him that attractive.

Same here. I like him, but don’t fancy him!

I don’t like his current look. He looks much older than he is with the grey beard. I know people who went to school with him and they look much younger.

He was asked in a podcast interview hosted by three Hollywood actors “isn’t Welsh just English with a different accent?” Took it in good heart and explained exactly why it is not, though he must have been inwardly fuming!

Hollywood actor asks Matthew Rhys 'Isn't Welsh just English with an accent?'

The multi-Emmy award winning Welsh actor was a guest on his fellow star's podcast

Don’t find him particularly attractive myself though I can see he’s easy on the eye. However in interviews he is undeniably very sexy

SulkingInTheCatio · 17/09/2026 09:19

Don’t think he’s hot at all. Loved The Americans though.

Just realised I thought he was Matthew McConnaughy.

Noooo..... The two are chalk and cheese.
It's like comparing Mel Gibson to Benedict Cumberbatch.😀

It's his cracking sense of humor that does it for me. He's lovely.

TurquoiseGoldPeaches · 17/09/2026 08:23

Both good actors though.

Littlegreywolfcub · 17/09/2026 07:58

Meh - he's too old (!) for my liking, although he is a very good actor.

I like Andrew Scott though - maybe because he's an amazing actor

Andrew Scott is creepy.

AmandaHoldensLips · 16/09/2026 09:36

Does anyone else think he looks weirdly like a puffin?

It’s the hooded eyes and receding hairline. Not hot imo.
But clearly has an audience of admirers!

Hes very handsome but what I actually like most about him is the obvious love for his family. He’s always talking about them. He’s also very funny in interviews and when he’s doing them alongside his partner she’s always properly laughing at his jokes. He is lovely.

Yes, he is very charismatic. ❤️

MrsLargeEmbodied · 17/09/2026 07:29

he is watchable

napody · 17/09/2026 07:27

Need to watch all of the above and delighted to have a Welsh winner.

Having googled I agree the teeth are awful. I guess the hair dye is deliberate for a role but he looks like David Guest.

But hotness is not about that stuff imo so I'll watch and see..

Rhys gives me Cilian Murphy and David Walliams combined.
As far as I'm concerned, take any or all of them!

He's a good actor though!

David Walliams? Is that an autocorrect?!!

VenusThighTrap · 17/09/2026 06:54

PrettyLittleRose · 16/09/2026 09:25

Who? Never heard of him.

Show quote history

You could have googled, or do you want us to think you’re highbrow for not knowing the identity of someone in the pop culture Zeitgeist?

Anyway: he is definitely hot!

bingobangs · 17/09/2026 03:31

His dyed hair in the Beast in me was off putting, I think that was the point. Great actor but not my type.

MrsLargeEmbodied · 17/09/2026 02:59

pleased about Gerran Howell, rewatched Ludwig and he was excellent in that

Another Welsh actor, Gerran Howell who is from Barry, was one of the nominations for a Best Supporting Actor Emmy, for his role as Dr Dennis Whittaker in The Pitt. The Welsh flag is flying high over Hollywood at the moment!

Thecatbeggar · 16/09/2026 09:27

So hot!!
