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!

@daisyjgrey okay well I downloaded Sea Wall with Andrew Scott (Hot Priest) ... yes it was good and yes he's still gorgeous (so breaking the one role rule) but it was pretty harrowing!!

Yy to Hugh Grant in About a Boy and Rowan Atkinson in Blackadder.

David Tenant in There She Goes.

Tom Hardy as Reggie Kray..

Henry Cavill in the Witcher

I completely fancy Leo Di Caprio in Once Upon A Time in Hollywood. He's never done it for me in any other film, including Titanic when everyone else was swooning over him. But I love him as Rick Dalton.

midsomermurderess · 29/03/2021 23:30

This is worse, I hadn't particularly noticed him till this series, but when I did, wham! Rumpled but very attractive, the Frenchest man in France. 'Do you want me to stay?' 'Yes'. Best ever ending.

Leo seemed to go from nope, nope, nope... hello about 6 years ago.

Aidan Turner as a vampire in Being Human
Seth Rogan as Dirty Randy in The League
I used to like Dominic West in the Wire but I can't unsee him as Fred West now, so that's ruined.
Linda Cardellini in ER
Both Amy Adams and Jason Segel in The Muppets

quizqueen · 30/03/2021 02:36

Going back a bit, Trevor Eve as Shoestring.

OldGreyBoots · 30/03/2021 03:31

To weigh in on a few of these... Grin

-Yes to David Thewlis as Lupin and nothing else
-Yes to Robert Carlyle in The Full Monty but he was also the redeeming feature of the War of the Worlds tv adaptation
-Sean Bean is perfect in everything including real life
-Everyone seems to name a different Richard Gere film but I'd pick all
-Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing isn't a patch on Roadhouse but again, amazing in everything Grin

To actually answer the question properly, I'd say Natasha Lyonne as Nicky Nichols in Orange is the New Black. Mainly the attitude but also the eyeliner! I had to take a mid season break to evaluate my sexuality Blush

LunaNorth · 30/03/2021 04:55

See, I thought eveybody fancied Lord Blackadder! It’s definitely a thing.

Sardonic expression.
Perfectly-trimmed beard.
Earring.
Way with words.
Swishy sleeves when he’s relaxing below stairs.
Healthy disdain for the pretentious and sycophantic.
Randy.
Enjoys a pie.

What’s not to love?

midsomermurderess
I didn’t feel any chemistry beteeen him and Josephine though
I mean he clearly adored her but that kiss , felt wrong ?

But he has a definitely sexiness
Mais oui

ladyvimes · 30/03/2021 07:13

Hugh Laurie as House.
Am binge watching it at the moment and he is super sexy. Think back to him in earlier stuff and no way!!!

BatleyTownswomensGuild · 30/03/2021 07:42

Oh God, forgot about Andrew Scott's hot priest!! 😍😍

MrsSlocombesPussy · 30/03/2021 08:46

So many people agree with me about Blackadder 2!
@EarringsandLipstick you obviously have no taste Smile

SallyAnn32 · 30/03/2021 09:15

Hugh Jackman but only as The Greatest Showman 🤷🏻‍♀️

amusedbush · 30/03/2021 11:49

Came here to say Gene Hunt but I can see that he’s already getting the appreciation he deserves Grin

kay3 · 30/03/2021 14:46

Al Pacino as a young Michael Corleone, in the Godfather Smile

@ShesMadeATwatOfMePam

Re: Gillian Anderson and James McAvoy. God yes! I could positively drown in James McAvoy's eyes.

And Gillian Anderson - I generally consider myself straight but I would totally make an exception for Gillian Anderson (espec X-files era!)

And Gillian Anderson from The Fall. Not in the crown though!

I can't decide if I'm straight or not!

What about sex education? She’s sexy in that!

OldGreyBoots · 30/03/2021 18:33

Forgot to add, yes James McAvoy, even as Mr Tumnus Grin

nailsathome · 30/03/2021 18:38

Mads Mikkelson as Hannibal

Lucent · 30/03/2021 19:43

@nailsathome

Mads Mikkelson as Hannibal
Yes, he looks like a complete twit in those beer ads!
ElMacchiato · 30/03/2021 19:51

Rupert Friend as Peter Quinn

JackieTheFart · 30/03/2021 19:57

@LeviAckerman

Tom Hiddleston as Loki
Yes this. He gives me the boak in anything else.
musicalfrog · 30/03/2021 20:04

Brendan Coyle as Robert Timmins in Lark Rise to Candleford. HOT!

I had really high hopes for Bates in Downton but I was like wtf?? I dunno what went wrong 😕
