Absolutely 100% in love with this man. What's the likelihood he is going to have an early exit in House of the Dragon Shock He needs to be in everything. With his accent- integral part of the sex appeal obvs

He’s an unspeakably good actor. He should be in everything.

DarkFuckeryoftheHumanHeart · 31/08/2022 13:45

Also wrote and directed Tyrrannosaur which was amazing but not a film I can watch twice!

Bits of him are going to rot and progressively fall off before he dies in the penultimate episode but not before he has spawned a boy child with poor Alicent. God knows what her fingers are going to be like at the end.

Fine actor he may be but I can't see how you'd be in love with him as King Viserys. He reminds me of Benjamin, the hapless nephew and captive of the toad loving Harvey and Val Denton in League Of Gentlemen. But you have to go back a bit to remember that.

Sooner he’s gone from HOD the better! I don’t get his appeal At All.

Wouldloveanother · 31/08/2022 13:53

I’m actually enjoying the casting in HoD! I think he plays his part really well - the good intent is there, but he faces the dilemmas of doormat v warmongerer that they all do. He’s a nice guy but essentially not decisive or strong enough to be king. And under a lot of pressure.

TheLightSideOfTheMoon · 31/08/2022 13:58

He’s hot but looks bonkers in a blonde wig.

Struggling to take it seriously.

DarkFuckeryoftheHumanHeart · 31/08/2022 14:06

To be clear, I love the man, not finding the character particularly arousing Grin especially with him rotting away!

Watching Paddy doing press for the show is fab though as he is on everything and makes me happy.

Not really in love with any of the characters of HoD at the moment (as in Big Fan rather than fancying) I'd read all the GOT books alongside the show and had my favourites (Davos and Samwell, thank you for not killing them GRRM) but not particularly attached to any in HOD.

He's been brilliant in a few things like Dead Man's Shoes, MacBeth and Informer etc., but I just can't warm to him in this, too wooden or something and his hair looks ridiculous, sorry.

Hillsidehigh · 31/08/2022 14:13

Watch Dead man’s shoes

PiggyPlumPie · 31/08/2022 14:15

Reminds me of David Seaman! Spoiled HoD for DH - sorry not sorry.

DarkFuckeryoftheHumanHeart · 31/08/2022 14:15

I fancied him in Hot Fuzz with his little moustache Blush

He’s gonna die of Sepsis, I can feel it in my blood.

DarkFuckeryoftheHumanHeart · 31/08/2022 14:39

@RaRaRaspoutine I have to say before this Rhys Ifans passed me by, but he is hot as fuck in House of the Dragon

Also rather tasty in this.
tobee · 31/08/2022 18:06

I first thought this when he was in The Suspicions of Mr Whicher.

RaRaRaspoutine · 31/08/2022 18:14

I’m so glad I’m not alone. Worked on a play he was in a few years ago, oh my god i never fancied him as spike in Notting hill but in the flesh he has some kind of animal magnetism. Also he’s incredibly tall.

I’ll stop gushing now!

There are some actors and actresses who are so good, you will give something they are in a watch, even if it might not be the kind of film or tv or theatre you would normally look at.

Paddy Considine is one. Lucky me saw him in the play The Ferryman. Added kudos as he does not do luvviedom.
