Actors who you only find attractive in one role

[BreakfastAtSquiffanys]

Orlando Bloom as Legolas in LOTR.
Long blond hair, blue eyes, deadly with and bow and arrow.
I turned to my friend and said "I'd totally DO that elf!"
OB in anything else--thin and weedy with occasional dodgy facial hair.
No thank you.

Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock. Sex on legs.
BC in anything else and in real life - looks like a weasel

Oh gosh I forgot about Tom as Loki.
Why are all my favourites Avenger based 😂

Phillip Glenister as DCI Gene Hunt. He’s like your mates dad is anything else.

Legolas just does not do it for me at all, sorry.

Cumberbatch, Mortenson and Crowe as above, yep. Cumberbatch I do find attractive otherwise but only since I saw him in Sherlock and less so in other guises. I disagree about Hiddleston though - atteactive as Loki but also elsewhere (especially in The Night Manager!).

Yeah Benedict Cumberbatch. Maybe it's the dark curls? His voice is incredible no matter what though.

Talking of voices, Alan Rickman as Snape. Pretty wrong if I think about it. Again incredible voice, could melt knickers by reading a takeaway menu but apparent only physically attractive, to me, in a severe buttoned up gown with greasy hair and a sneer.

I'm agreeing with most of these, but clicked on the link to add Hugh Laurie in House, but a pp beat me to it. Why does he look & sound so damn sexy in that, but not in anything else?

Aidan Turner in Poldark. He's like a little boy in The Hobbit.

Johnny Depp only as captain Jack Sparrow. Phwoar

Another for Hugh laurie as house. Gorgeous

David Tennant as The Doctor makes my heart flutter, but is any other role just doesn't do it for me. I think it is the confidence and charisma.

Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock is perfect, but revolts me in other roles.

Arragon makes me melt, all filthy and beautiful, but in anything else he does nothing for me.

Ewan McGregor in Shallow Grave.

Neil Morrisey as Rocky in Boon, for those that can remember the series. Teenage hormones and leather clad motorcyclist. Mmmm.

Grown up Neil, never quite had the same effect.

Travis Fimmel as Ragnar Lothbrok. Once he’s out of costume I’m just not interested

Yes to Legolas , Sherlock and Jack Sparrow.
No to MM in anything. Colin Firth MUCH better in P&P (and almost everything thing else).

Yes to Dennis Quaid in the Big Easy and (maybe) in The Day After Tomorrow'. Not anything else.

Tom Hiddleston in the Night Manager. I do wanted to be taken against the wall by him like she was. Was a proper sexy scene! Loki, no. Anything else, no.

Agree with Poldark.

Not sure there is ANYONE sexy in the Hobbit, is there?! Oh, apart from Viggo.

Tom Hiddleson in Crimson Peak

Hugh Jackman as Wolverine
And
Wesley Snipes as Blade

I didn't know until I typed this how "stabby" I like my men

Santiago Cabrera as Aramis.. Soooo manly in Musketeers, just all a bit dweeby and clean cut for me otherwise. I like my men to be men. grrrr 😁

Chris Hemsworth, Thor (with the hair though, only with the hair)

Nope. Hemsworth in Ghostbusters. Yes.
Long hair... nope.

Ross Kemp as Grant Mitchell

Most of the main actors in Black Sails. Think it’s the dirty pirate look! In real life they look ‘meh’

Colin Firth as Darcy.

That's Mr Darcy, not the wet wimp in Bridget Jones's Diary.

Sam Heughan as Jamie Fraser in Outlander. Hot hot hot. Not really in anything else he's done.

@GlasgowWorrier YES! Doctor Who only!

James Marsters as Spike in Buffy, sexy as hell!

James Marsters in real life or anything else, meh.

Adam Scott, but only in Parks and Rec.
Anthony Stuart Head as Giles in Buffy.
