Really really attractive in Once Upon a Time even in his Rumplestiltskin garb?

Everyone I know thinks I am insane so I have stopped mentioning it

It can't just be me surely!

I remember having a bit of a thing for David Bowie in Labyrinth - but the Carlyle thing... Naaah

David Bowie in Labyrinth is on my list as is Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka. Grin

Feeling more normal having posted here!

Ooh yes - Hamish McBeth fixed him in my mind as shaggable adorable. Nothing I've seen him in since has changed my mind. As for being short - meh, Googled that, concensus seems to be 5'7" - 5'8" - way taller than me!

I'd tempt Mr Carlyle into my clutches with a Ferroro Rocher. He would say "Oh 'Change' you are really spoiling us". Then we would disappear into the happy-ever-after land.

(Not that I've thought about this much).

Crazie. Willy Wonka is my favourite film. And I'm converting the children to the original version. Although Jonny Depp in the re-make... hmmmmm, it's a tough call.

No way is he 5,7 ...no way. Unless it's in the same way Madonna is 45.

I'd put him at 5,5.

bigjoeent · 26/04/2012 21:15

I'm glad I'm not alone

Chilenachica · 26/04/2012 21:16

Haven't seen the programme in question, but Robert Carlyle?

Ooooooooh, yes!

OooohShiny · 26/04/2012 21:17

He used to knock about the art school when he was going out with her that was in eastenders - they were both a pair of fannies back then, bit up their own arses but then I only met him the once back then so he quite probably has changed.

I've been looking for an excuse to go into that Waitrose on my way home from work Grin

WhereYouLeftIt · 26/04/2012 21:19

5'5" is still plenty tall enough for me! Grin

Tanith · 26/04/2012 21:20

I don't know about attractive, but he's certainly one of the scariest actors I've ever watched. I have never forgotten his terrifying performance in Cracker and I was scared stiff of his character in Ravenous.

He's 52 birthday last week

OldLadyKnowsNothing · 26/04/2012 21:22

5'7, 5'5 or 5'8 depending who you ask. I'm 5' so that's fine. :)

Changethatbulb · 26/04/2012 21:22

The only famous person round here is Jack Duckworth! I did bump into him on my hen-night. He asked who the bride was. I was wearing a sash declaring I was the bride to be.

That is my only claim to a little teeny tiny bit of fame.

flapperghasted · 26/04/2012 21:22

I lurve him. I'm 5ft 11 and would dwarf him, but he's gorgeous in a grungey, imperfect kind of way :)

Changethatbulb · 26/04/2012 21:24

5ft 5 is fine. I'd still go there

There is a certain something!

(myself, I am all about Raphael Sbarge who plays Archie Hopper/Jiminy Cricket. Or at least his voice)

Not sure about the cricket but the Sheriff is pretty nice!

When Trainspotting was being heavily advertised on the Underground I saw the massive posters and thought "Mmm, 'tache, looks a bit grubby, you wouln't really but hell yes"

Then I discovered that Begbie was Hamish McBride!!! Shock

GetOnYourDancingShoes · 27/04/2012 11:00

He's been on my list for a long time Grin

BusinessTrills · 27/04/2012 11:02

I didn't know he was lost.

AbsofAwesomeness · 27/04/2012 11:14

True story, I was once approximately ... [................................] that far away from his face for about five minutes (show off)

I cannot comment on his height, because I was in shock. It was a commuter train and I thought "hm, that guy looks like Robert Carlyle. OH MY WORD IT'S ROBERT CARLYLE STAY CALM STAY CALM BREATHE BREATHE IT'S ROBERT CARLYLE BREATHE ACT COOL TRY TO STOP BEING SUCH A DORK IT'S ROBERT CARLYLE"
