Christopher Biggins is gay and living in a civil partnership.

RedBlanket · 07/09/2011 19:22

Keanu is very crap limited as an actor. He is fit though

nametapes · 07/09/2011 19:23

Daniel Craig, i.e. james bond

ITryToBeZenBut · 07/09/2011 19:26

Matthew Mcconaughey. Total eye candy and I so would but doubt he'll ever see an Oscar. He should do more films like Fool's Gold where his work is best showcased in shirtless form Grin

Choufleur · 07/09/2011 19:27

Oh I'll have Daniel Craig too after you've finished nametapes

MrsGuyOfGisbourne · 07/09/2011 19:35

Aries ooh, yes you're right - did not mean Ran, meant Ralph!!!

HowlingBitch · 07/09/2011 19:42

Oh dear izzy, That's a whole other story!

The night I fell inlove with DP we actually switched clothes for a dare, Bra and all (We had been best friends for years and were at a party together) Soon after we drunkenly decided to go on a walk (still wearing each others clothes) and got violently mugged!

He said he realized that he loved me when I dived over him to take some of the blows the thugs were dishing him out and practically saved his life. We have been together ever since!

I guess he passed that acid test :o

MangoMonster · 07/09/2011 19:56

Keanu and robert pattinson, not great on screen but gods none the less!

MangoMonster · 07/09/2011 19:58

And if course mcconaghy!!! Really crap but beautiful!

SoftKittyWarmKitty · 07/09/2011 20:40

Definitely, definitely Keanu.

And I don't think he's at all over rated as he's a good actor, but my absolute must-fuck is Joaquin Phoenix. I reckon he'd be dirty, in a great good way.

Proudnscary · 07/09/2011 20:46

Exoticfruits, you could have broken that to me with a little more sensitivity. Really. OK if Biggins is gay...John Barrowman

MilkandWine · 07/09/2011 20:48

Joaquin Phoenix is the sex (but a really good actor so possibly doesn't count?)

It would have to be the beautiful Jonathan Rhys Meyers for me. Yes his acting range is somewhat limited but my god he is the most gorgeous thing on the planet. I've been besotted since I saw him in Velvet Goldmine years ago.

Cillian Murphy is my number one must shag at the moment, he is like a gorgeous alien! But a fantastic actor though so for purposes of the thread I'm probably not allowed to bone him

Gingefringe · 07/09/2011 20:50

Hugh Jackman without the wolverine hair.

peggotty · 07/09/2011 20:51

Oh dear god, Joaquin Pheonix..... I've had such a crush on him since he was Commodus in Gladiator. His eyes are amazing.

MilkandWine · 07/09/2011 20:51

softkittywarmkitty Keanu has been really good in some of his films. Bill and Ted and My own Private Idaho spring to mind. Also the one where he played a creepy, deep south wife beater (I forget the name?) he was genuinely scary in that.

Oh and I totally agree he is gorgeous, I adored him when I was a hormonal teen. Stunning in the flesh as well, I once watched his band play at Glastonbury. They were awful but then again I wasn't there for the music Wink

MilkandWine · 07/09/2011 20:54

peggotty Oh yes his eyes are incredible

He's a bit batty in real life though, people say he never 100% got over his poor brother dying so tragically Sad

HowlingBitch · 07/09/2011 20:56

Joaquin!

Yes! Although I think he is a great actor.

peggotty · 07/09/2011 21:00

Milkandwhine, I think part of the battiness is an act- that documentary that was made about him a couple of years ago was a wind-up apparently that he was in on. I can handle a bit of battiness actually Wink esp from him.

MilkandWine · 07/09/2011 21:12

peggotty Yes I've seen the documentary, it is really good.

I like my men a bit batty as well, probably why I like Jonathan R Myers so much, he's another sad eyed tortured soul.

SoftKittyWarmKitty · 07/09/2011 22:02

Agree milkandwine Keanu is indeed good in some of his films. Speed is still one of my favourites. The wife beater film is The Gift.

I've seen the Joaquin mockumentary and it almost put me off him. But no, the attraction is too great. He's really gorgeous good in Signs, Walk the Line and Gladiator. I think he's just missing the love of a good woman - if you're reading this Joaquin, here I am Wink.

wickedwitchofwaterloo · 07/09/2011 22:46

Thirds on Tom Hardy please. I actually happen to think he is a really good actor though so erm, yeah. But my God, he is divine to look at Grin

IsSamNormansDad · 07/09/2011 23:01

Ioan Gruffudd (Hornblower GrinWink)
So would, even as Mr Fantastic, crap outfit, but sooo stretchy!

Fecklessdizzy · 07/09/2011 23:10

Richard Armatige ... even in all that campy-goth-robin-of-Hoxton-nonsense get up ( actually, ESPECIALLY in all that campy-goth-etc-etc Blush ) and what's-his-face off Sharpe ... Mmmm, breeches ... Grin

That Jonathan Rhys Meyers, off of The Tudors. All over-acting and yet strangely powerful.
