I'll start...
Cillian Murphy only as Tommy Shelby
Viggo Mortensen only as Aragorn.

I know it's been done before but it's Sunday evening and I'm bored!

Andy Samberg in Brooklyn Nine Nine- nah. Andy Samberg in Cuckoo- definitely attractive.

@ShesMadeATwatOfMePam

Gillian Anderson and James McEvoy are sexy in every thing they do 🥰

Even as Mr Tumnus? Grin

Hah! Maybe that one is a bit of a stretch...

@Iamthewombat

Oh thank goodness I'm not alone with Peter Capaldi as Malcolm Tucker

I only liked him when he was being Cardinal Richelieu. Does nothing for me otherwise.

Respectmyauthoritah · 29/03/2021 10:33

I'll add Peter Dinklage in Game of Thrones.

Agree with Charlie Hunnam in Sons of Anarchy although Tig is my favourite as I like 'em freaky.

Cillian Murphy is beautiful in everything.

Colin Farrel in anything where they let him use his Irish accent 🤤

soditall56 · 29/03/2021 10:34

Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow 🤤

worried3012 · 29/03/2021 10:43

Oh thought of some more !

Richard Gere in Pretty Woman
Paul Judd in Clueless
Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing
Alan Rickman in Harry Potter
Idris Elba but only in Luther for some reason
Laurence Fishburne in Event Horizon
Bill Paxton in Alien

@DoubleTweenQueen

Al Pacino in the Godfather films, particularly the first one
Yes to this, he’s beautiful in those films but doesn’t do it for me in anything else.

Neil Pearson in Between the Lines

James Franco in Spider-Man... that wink scene... if you know, you know.

Tommy Shelby

Jason Mamoa in pretty much anything

Heath Ledger in 10 things I hate about you

midsomermurderess · 29/03/2021 10:59

Louis-Do de Lencquesaing as Edelman in Spiral.

Omg Jason Mamoa in GoT! I dont fancy him in anything else

In fact I pretty much fancy everyone in GoT! Blush

DoubleTweenQueen · 29/03/2021 12:43

@midsomermurderess Am also a huge fan of Louis-Do! Definitely a slow-burner. I cried at the last episode. It was the happiest loose end to be tied, for me :)

DoubleTweenQueen · 29/03/2021 12:45

And I only fancy Alan Rickman as Colonel Brandon, although he is generally fabulous in anything.

midsomermurderess · 29/03/2021 12:49

Yes, I was happy Josephine and Eric had a clinch. He started off as an obnoxious, sometimes rather fuunny, bastard, but his devotion to her could be painful to watch.

RedHotChiliChips · 29/03/2021 12:52

I never fancied Colin Farrell but he’s 🔥🔥🔥 as a Sonny Crockett in Miami Vice.

Yes, I came to say this! Mr Willoughby can fuck right off
riotlady · 29/03/2021 12:54

Also it’s not exactly a role, but Tom Holland dancing to Umbrella on Lip Sync Battle was Blush

Hi all... I'm new and please need your help. I'm a single mum of a 13yr old and looking to move to Cranleigh, buying our first home. Could you please advice me on what the area is like to live in and also what the state secondary schools are like as I can't afford private schooling. As this would really impact our decision.Thank you so much.

Start your own thread, @ShyMumof1. Or ask MNHQ to move your post for you. You won't get the replies you want buried in another thread.
ShyMumof1 · 29/03/2021 13:00

Thank you. Not sure how to do that....sadly technologically challenged as well🤦

DoubleTweenQueen · 29/03/2021 13:09

@ShyMumof1 There should be a 'start new thread' option in a drop-down menu on your screen? Welcome, by the way! Flowers

ShyMumof1 · 29/03/2021 13:11

Thank you!!!

EarringsandLipstick · 29/03/2021 13:13

The Philip Glenister and Roman Atkinson love I'm just not seeing

Thank You @mamaduckbone

A voice of sense 😀 (about Rowan anyway. I don't know who Philip Glenister is)

Appletreehat · 29/03/2021 13:15

Yes to Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn - I don't find him attractive in anything else!

Chris Evans but only as Captain America when he had the beard!
