The best Robin Hood was...

I'm currently watching Robin of Sherwood on ITV4 and Michael Praed will always be the ultimate Robin Hood for me. Jason Connery was a poor second.
The long dark hair, those cheekbones...mmmm.

Cary Elwes for me

mogtheexcellent · 23/08/2021 15:32

Michael Praed.

No need for any further posts. Mumsnet can close the thread.

  1. The Fox
  2. Errol Flynn
  3. Cary Elwes

I wouldn't bother too much for the others, though I have a soft spot for Kevin Costner. I know it's cheesy, but I loved it as a teenager.

Yup
LubaLuca · 23/08/2021 15:35

John Cleese in Time Bandits.

Stompythedinosaur · 23/08/2021 15:37

Def Michael Praed, though I feel the Robin from Maid Marian and her Merry Men bears a mention.

Wankerchief · 23/08/2021 15:38

The fox.

My first crush…..

MercyBooth · 23/08/2021 15:41

I have the Clannad soundtrack on CD somewhere purely because Michael Praed was on the cover.
(He was also pretty hot as Prince Michael I Dynasty).

I remember really liking Patrick Bergin as Robin Hood, but it's been 20 odd years so I may be misremembering: at the time he was just so much better than Costner!

CluelessHamster · 23/08/2021 15:54

Michael Praed. Sent my 14 year old heart all a flutter!

pointythings · 23/08/2021 16:05

Absolutely Michael Praed. Can't stand Errol Flynn, he couldn't fence for toffee.

FlatteredFool · 23/08/2021 16:10

@Wankerchief "oh he's so handsome!" I must have watched that film a thousand times over the years. It's my favourite Disney I think. Or maybe Sword In The Stone. Both very funny and made me laugh every time.
