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

@katseyes7 Also loved Aidan Turner in Desperate Romantics 😍 And Being Human 😍 But not keen on him in Poldark

Gerard Butler in 300, he looks like a bag of spanners in everything else.

@BreakfastAtSquiffanys Totally agree with you about Aidan Turner in Being Human. I was rewatching the first series on iPlayer 😄

witcherynights Oooh, l forgot about Being Human, but l preferred DR. l think it was the clothes, as well - l'm a sucker for the long coats and hats, and the way he used to stride about, coat tails blowing in the wind!

Ralph fiennes in Schindler's list
David Tennant as Dr who
David thewlis in naked
Aiden gillen in queer as folk

Gary Oldman as Sirius Black. He looks like an old man in anything else!

Orlando and viggo in LOTR
Russel Crowe in gladiator
Mel Gibson in braveheart

Jonny depp in pirates of the carribean

I second Matthew McFaden in Pride & Prejudice. He seems quite blah in other roles.
Winona Ryder in Dracula is gorgeous.
Laurence Olivier in Rebecca
Bruce Willis Die Hard
Demi Moore Ghost
Johnny Depp 21 Jump street
Bradley Cooper only looks good to me if his hair is longer...

Norman Reedus as Daryl Dixon in The Walking Dead.

Outwith he looks like a damn good bath would kill him

Another one saying cillian murphy in peaky blinders. That haircut works wonders for him.

Tim Curry as FrankNFurter in RHPS.

Already been said but Cillian Murphy as Tommy Shelby, Aidan Turner as Mitchell and Tom Hiddleston in The Night Manager.

david duchovny as fox mulder. in real life he's a sex mad weirdo old pervert with a 22 yr old gf when he's like 60!!! gross as fuck!!!

Cillian Murphy as Tommy Shelby in the Peaky Blinders

Yes yes to Tommy and his younger brother John Shelby!

Yy to Daniel Craig as Bond. I'm sure he's a very nice man but irl he reminds me a bit of a potato
Also Gerard Butler in Phantom of the Opera. In everything else no thank you.

You're going to think I'm nuts - but Chris Hemsworth in Ghostbusters, but not as Thor

David Tennant. SIgh.

Jon Hamm as Don Draper. I don't know why I find Don Draper so attractive.

Jon Hamm as Don Draper. I don't know why I find Don Draper so attractive.

Sherlock, Loki, yes yes!
Also Capaldi as Malcolm Tucker, the shouting

John Hamm in anything but particularly in Baby Driver too.

Jon Hamm as Don Draper. I don't know why I find Don Draper so attractive

Agree @Starlight45, was coming on to say that and thought loads of people would be saying Jon Hamm! Don Draper is incredibly sexy. For some reason, Jon Hamm, not so much.

Also, Tom Hardy in Warrior.....

Bit reversey but I find Jamie dornan attractive in every role EXCEPT 50 shades! He's like a plastic ken doll in that.
