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.

Ive always thought he's hot, its his eyes. Many many years ago, I had what I choose to recall as a 'moment' with him in Ladbroke Grove Sainsburys - we were both paying for our shopping and he looked over and gave me a smile, and again in the carpark. Still think about that fairly often! I loved him in Metropolis and it was around that time.

Watch The Americans, apart from being an excellent series (in my top 5 of all time). He is also very easy on the eye.

JennyForeigner · 15/09/2026 23:35

Yeah he is.

OsfameronTanamoril · 15/09/2026 23:38

That dance to " Psycho Killer" in The Beast In Me! My ovaries exploded.
Not seen " Widows Bay" yet.
However he apparently forgot to thank Keri Russell at the Emmys. Not cool.

He was in an American series called brothers & sisters back in the 80s - he’s hardly changed at all! Was also a great ‘troubled detective’ in an Agatha Christie type thing more recently

AbsintheMakesTheHeartGrowFonder · 15/09/2026 23:40

He’s a good actor but I don’t find him attractive in the slightest. Delighted for those who do, though. A celebrity crush is a thing of joy!

80s? 2006-2011.

@OsfameronTanamoril whoops, thanks for correction. It’s thirtysomethings that was in the 80s, and the actress who plays Holly in brothers and sisters, was also in thirtysomethings. I hope!

My neighbour met him about 25 years ago when they were extras in a film that was filmed in the town hall in Sheffield.

JapanesePotWeed · 16/09/2026 02:58

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!

MrsLargeEmbodied · 16/09/2026 06:23

The Beast in Me was silly
couldnt get in to The Americans
start Widow's Bay yesterday which was a good watch so far

Traitorsclaudia · 16/09/2026 09:07

Yes, huge crush. Widow's Bay is excellent. He gets bonus hot points for being Welsh.

Chexton · 16/09/2026 09:16

I think he’s a great actor but much preferred him before he got the Hollywood teeth treatment. He looked a lot more natural before.

Widows Bay is excellent

PamelaDoov · 16/09/2026 09:17

He is sexy AF in The Beast In Me. If I was Niles wife I wouldn’t care what shady business he’d been up to, id have stood by my man to carry on hittin that 🤣

They have an agreement not to mention each other in award acceptance speeches.

And yes he is hot. Especially when speaking his (and my!) mother tongue.

Who? Never heard of him.

Thecatbeggar · 16/09/2026 09:27

So hot!!

MrsShawnHatosy · 16/09/2026 09:32

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!

AmandaHoldensLips · 16/09/2026 09:36

Does anyone else think he looks weirdly like a puffin?

Matthew Rhys is hot
MrsLargeEmbodied · 17/09/2026 02:59

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

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.

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!

David Walliams? Is that an autocorrect?!!

WeirdyBeardyMarrowBabyLady · 17/09/2026 07:19

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.

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..
