If you are single (or even if you aren't) which fictional character would you fancy?

[LeoTheLion678]

1. Richard in Friends. I know he's unpopular on here but I don't care he's an absolute dreamboat. I love him.
2. Brute in Green Mile. I watch this film regularly and when they're having dinner in the garden and Tom Hanks says Brute is a "single man" I always raise my eyebrows. He's a strong, calm presence

Are you me? I can still monologue on how very wrong the casting of the film was! And Sam Reid is exactly the Lestat I pictured. I blame Lestat entirely for my far too long fascination with pouty pretty long haired men children 🙈

Perhaps we are as one 😂 the only slight forgiveness I can proffer towards TC is for the delivery of the line "oh, Louis, Louis... Still whining, Louis!" Perfect spot on Lestat for just one line.

How about the Tommy Lee Miller version? Personal favourite

No, I didn’t know about this - will throw back

Oh yes absolutely. Although I do prefer the fella who plays Ardeth Bay when he's in Resident Evil.

My unpopular opinion is that TC in very specific roles is brilliant (Top Gun, Mission Impossible). However in any role where he is not playing a variant of himself, he is not. But how they had Brad in the room and still went with TC for Lestat blows my mind.

Brad looks nothing like a vampire. He has hamster cheeks.

I usually enjoy most things Tom Cruise is in. American Made is a fabulous film.

The Great Gatsby. But only in the book, in which he looks like F. Scott Fitzgerald himself in my imagination.

In a similar vein:

William Dobbin from Vanity Fair and to a certain extent Kostya Levin from Anna Kerenina.

Only in the books though, for all of them. The films always make a mess of these characters.

The Witcher (Henry cavill's version only!)

Brett Goldstein was originally hired as a writer for Ted Lasso and then went on to be actually cast in the part. He then went on to co-create Shrinking in which he also had a part. He was great in it if you haven't seen it. A lovely character.

I am most impressed with such a multi-talented man. (See, I have such elevated tastes!)

I always fancied Hugh Grant and it didn’t matter what he was in he was always the same because Hugh Grant stars as Hugh Grant in everything. It was just that accent though.

Catching this thread late...but how has Fiyero from Wicked not made it on here? The character was hot before Jonathan Bailey was cast...now however...🔥

Hamlet. So clever. So sensitive. So unruly!

I’ve just watched it and, heavens, I’m obsessed with him!

The Dandy Highwayman - Adam Ant

What's not to love? The cape, the hat, the lip gloss. I'm here for it 😁

Fictional? My exhusbands Facebook profile.

Sirius Black (because he’s a dog)

Clearly Mr Darcy

Inspector Morse!

David Powlett-Jones, the teacher in To Serve Them All My Days. My first ever book crush 😍
Probably my last, too, thinking about it.

Is it wrong that I was quite attracted to Paul Spector (Jamie Dornan) in The Fall? Saw a bit of 50 shades and really was not attracted to Jamie in that so it was definitely setting to do with the character! I also had a massive crush on Tony Soprano. I'm not attracted to dangerous or violent men in real life.

Obvs has to be Henry Cavill's version of the Witcher. Couldn't agree more.

Alexander Skaasgaad (sp) in big little lies (before we discovered he was a woman beater)

Don draper

Joshua Jackson in The Affair - NOT irl, for he seems like a limp fish of a man 🤢

Dominic West in The Affair (and irl 🤭🤭)

Robbie in Task - long hair, sad eyes, tall 🤤

Michael berzatto - the bear - sad eyes and tall

I have a type 😌

I'm straight but thought of female characters. Catherine Cawood from Happy Valley - I'd be her lesbian lover. Men-wise, Gilbert Blythe or Captain Wentworth. Also Jamie from Outlander, as pp.
