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!

Mine are exactly the same as your two OP, Tommy Shelby and Aragorn!

Also, Dexter Morgan.

Surely Brad Pitt doesn't count cos he's generally fit in most

Not to me. Just the one time in Troy many moons ago.

I think John Hamm wins cos you wouldn't look at him twice normally

I like Jon Hamm anywhere I catch a glimpse of him. Handsome but he looks like he'd be an arsehole in real life.

Orlando Bloom as Legolas.
Chris Hemsworth as Thor
Jonny Depp as Jack Sparrow
Can I say Ross Marquand as Aaron from the walking dead? Grin

For those above I know some one who met Sean Bean once and she told me never ever underestimate how photogenic Sean Bean is. Now that does not detract from the point.

Roman Atkinson in Blackadder 2
Steve Coogan in The Trip - where he kind of plays himself I suppose
Colin Firth in Bridget Jones

@DisappearingGirl If you've got a fiver spare it's worth downloading Seawall. It was written for Andrew Scott and not only is he UTTERLY GLORIOUS in it, the whole thing is a masterpiece.

Dh reckons Clooney would be a laugh on a night out, but Brad Pitt would be an arse.

I think dh is jealous of BP, so I will not be inviting him out with us. Should the opportunity arise.

EmiIy · 28/03/2021 23:35

Jon Hamm as Don Draper.

Thewinterofdiscontent · 28/03/2021 23:39

@WellTidy

How could I forget? Damien Lewis as Brodie in Homeland.
Damien Lewis as Capulet. He was fantastic.

"James Norton in happy valley. Can't stand him in anything else"

Does he not kidnap and rape a woman in this 🧐

I think the exact same about the two posters saying Jamie Dornan in The Fall!! He plays a woman hating, raping sexual deviant who stalks, burgles and murders lone women. If you find him attractive in that you need to bloody look at yourself Confused
It completely ruined him for me, he's a cracking actor. I found him very believable … but certainly not fanciable.

@Figgyboa

Orlando Bloom as Legalos....
Yes!
Franksalot · 28/03/2021 23:50

Charlie Cox as Daredevil

JustanotherTuesday · 28/03/2021 23:50

Another one for Rowan Atkinson .
Jeffrey Dean Morgan in The Good Wife.
Rik Mayall in The New Statesman.

converseandjeans · 28/03/2021 23:57

Jon Hamm in Mad Men

Bobbi73 · 28/03/2021 23:57

Andrew Scott as the hot priest
Brad Pitt only as JD in Thelma and Louise and as Tyler Durden in fight club. Nothing else.
James Morton as Sidney Chambers.
Viggo Mortenson as Aragon. I couldn't believe it when I saw him in real life!

KatesMott · 28/03/2021 23:59

@ LegoLady95 Jamie Dornan in the fall for me too! Don’t know what that says about me. Never was remotely interested before...

BillMasheen · 29/03/2021 00:01

Chris Barrie as Ace Rimmer.

Molehillfromamountain · 29/03/2021 00:07

Also here to say Cillian Murphy as Tommy Shelby.

1AngelicFruitCake · 29/03/2021 00:13

Viggo as Aragorn...certainly made the marathon cinema trips whenever LOTR came out, worth it! Him speaking Elvish is 🥰
Alan Rickman in Love Actually (or anything really)

Sunshinesky1981 · 29/03/2021 00:13

Jude law in the Young Pope.

Dont usually find him attractive, so perhaps its the whole you know you shouldn't want to shag him as he's, well the pope and its not allowed that makes him attractive in it.

Sunshinesky1981 · 29/03/2021 00:15

Also, although lust worthy all the time.... Alan Rickman as severus Snape Blush

1AngelicFruitCake · 29/03/2021 00:15

Yes to Michael C Hall as Dexter!

Iamthewombat · 29/03/2021 00:17

But the main one is Tom Burke in The Musketeers. Really don’t fancy him in RL or in anything else. Must be the leather?

That is odd because I only like him when he is being Cormoran Strike. In The Musketeers he reminded me of a grumpy Siamese cat with a hat on.

1AngelicFruitCake · 29/03/2021 00:17

@Sunshinesky1981

Also, although lust worthy all the time.... Alan Rickman as severus Snape Blush
Oh god, I agree. Every word just drips from his mouth. The looks he gave...Blush Always would imagine being pushed up against a wall by him (will now leave as going too far!)
Iamthewombat · 29/03/2021 00:19

How has nobody mentioned Aidan Turner? In everything except Poldark he does nothing for me, nothing. However when he is stomping around Cornwall in a tricorn hat I love him.

(His hair went a bit trance by the last series so the bloom went off Ross Poldark slightly).
