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!

@LegoLady95

Jamie Dornan as Paul Spector in The Fall.

Not sure what else I have seen him in but totally did not fancy him in Fifty Shades of Grey (didn't help that the film was tripe).

I was gonna say exactly this!!

Tom Hiddleston in The Night Manager, bizarrely find him highly unattractive elsewhere!

David Tennant as the Doctor. Broadchurch=nope!!

Jamie Dornan as Christian Grey, because I prefer the clean-shaven, suited & booted look!

Russell Crowe was hotter in LA Confidential than Gladiator IMO.

Jude Law was only hot in The Talented Mr Ripley. I only fancied Robert Downey Jr in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang... Dev Patel is super hot in David Copperfield.

Just checking this is a one-time only thing for these actors, OP because I'm getting carried away coming up with names and realising it's ongoingGrin.

So far, I've stuck to the rules of the thread.

@APJ1

Ooh, I think Hugh Laurie in House is the ultimate example!


It really disturbed me, every now and again I'd remember him in tights in Blackadder and wonder what was wrong with me!

Cersei Lannister in GOT.

I'd say Tywin Lannister too but I think I liked him in The Golden Child too. Infact I like Charles Dance in anything so he's not on this list.

Christopher Plummer as Captain Von Trapp in The Sound of Music.

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

Ooh, this is a good thread! And loads of brilliant suggestions. I agree with Daniel Craig as Bond and Colin Firth as Darcy. And Roman Atkinson as Blackadder. I’m adding Robbie Coltrane as Cracker. Gorgeous!
