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!

Martin Shaw in Judge John Deed

And Jared Leto as Joker in Suicide Squad,

Yes, I realise I have a questionable taste in men... lol

Tom Hiddleston as Loki, can't wait to watch him again on Disney +

Looneytune253 · 28/03/2021 21:22

@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!!
southernbelles · 28/03/2021 21:22

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!

Whatelsecouldibecalled · 28/03/2021 21:22

Complete agree with you @mamaduckbone

wheresmymojo · 28/03/2021 21:25

I also came on to say Cillian Murphy as Tommy Shelby.

Also Chris Noth as Mr. Big in SATC

southernbelles · 28/03/2021 21:26

Oooh thought of another one, Julian McMahon as Cole in Charmed!

squiglet111 · 28/03/2021 21:26

Yes to Henry carvall in the Witcher. Damn sexy and sexy voice too.

wheresmymojo · 28/03/2021 21:27

Oh and Idris Elba as that gangster in The Wire

southernbelles · 28/03/2021 21:28

Jude Law in The Holiday

WomenAreBornNotWorn · 28/03/2021 21:28

Eric Bana in Troy.

EarringsandLipstick · 28/03/2021 21:29

@southernbelles

Jude Law in The Holiday
Get out. Now.

😂

@EarringsandLipstick 😂😂😂

@SnuggleWuggle

I came on here to say Cillian Murphy as Tommy Shelby 😆😆😆🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️
Me too! 😂😂 Thought it as soon as I read the title. Him and Johnny Depp as Captain Jack!
LST · 28/03/2021 21:30

Henry Cavill as The Witcher. Oh my god.. when he was in the tub 🥵

FurrySlipperBoots · 28/03/2021 21:32

Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow. As anyone else he's just gross!

Quaagars · 28/03/2021 21:32

Aragorn in Lord of The Rings

FreeFallingFree · 28/03/2021 21:33

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.

whenthebellsring · 28/03/2021 21:36

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.

Rainbowandscarlett · 28/03/2021 21:38

Rodney trotter-I so would
Gary sparrow-no chance

I admit I’m a bit odd tho…

NotyouGuillermo · 28/03/2021 21:41

Robert Sheehan as Klaus in Umbrella Academy

TooMinty · 28/03/2021 21:45

@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!

whenthebellsring · 28/03/2021 21:46

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.

TooMinty · 28/03/2021 21:48

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

Orphlids · 28/03/2021 21:52

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!
