To ask who you'd choose if you were ordered by royal decree to have a torrid affair?

Risk of being thrown in the Tower/put in the stocks and all that malarkey if you refuse.

Today I think I'd go for Ralph Fiennes. Look how pretty he is. Yes he's all tortured and angsty and probably ponders endlessly on his 'craft' (yawwwn) but he's just so alluring.

No doubt he'd be a tad high maintenance in the long run but for an enforced torrid affair I think he'd do very nicely indeed. Plus he's probably into all manner of eye popping sexual shenanigans. And let's face it, what's the point of a torrid affair without some eye poppery. Am I right?

raspberryoverload you beat me to Richard Z K !! I also have Download tickets...last one to the signing tent wins torrid antics I guess? I will win

Busyworkingmum71 · 28/10/2015 00:12

Oh my Lordy... Here goes

Ewan McGregor
Alexander Skarsgard
Aiden Turner
Daniel Craig
Bear Ghrylls (sorry, but I would, up a mountain or in a waterfall somewhere)
Daryl Dixon (but only fresh from the shower, and only as Daryl Dixon)
Andrew Lincoln
Joe Manganiello

That'll do for now.

Oh no wait - Ben Fogle - although he is less torrid affair material admittedly...more run away with and live on a desert island with material

Hugh Dancy please, if I must.

Yes to Viggo Mortensen, but ONLY as Aragorn arriving at Helm's Deep, all weary and dirty...

The Depp. Anytime, any place, any how.

Rob Newman - quick mind, funny, hotness-a-go-go.

Marcus Brigstocke, I fancy the arse off him.

And the young Sting. I've loved him for over 35 years, even if he's a bit of a worthy twat now.

BagelSuffragette · 28/10/2015 00:48

sqoosh wonderful thread Grin Ralph Fiennes is gorgeous, definitely has something but why not throw in his brother Joseph Fiennes?

YY to Steve McQueen, Paul Newman in their heydays, Cary Grant for fun.
Viggo Mortensen as Aragon. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau definitely. I used to love Francois Truffaut when younger!

Some crackers that you've all forgotten about (and you can't nick now) -
Jim Caviezel (suited and booted in Person of Interest)
Jesse Williams, Eric Dane (Grey's Anatomy) and why not, Justin Chambers (only as Karev)
Matthias Schoenaerts(as his tough boxer type character in Rust and Bone)
And, lastly Michiel Huisman (as Cal in Orphan Black)

If I had too...

Aaron Paul, Mmmmm. There's just something about him. Like you just know he'd be an animal in bed, but could be tender too...

YellowTulips · 28/10/2015 01:20

I think I'd go down the bi-curious route tbh and go with Angelina ;-)

Smurfingreat · 28/10/2015 01:29

Now you lot have set my brain off (on a very enjoyable route). I forgot to mention Matthew Gray Gubler and Shemar Moore from Criminal Minds. Preferably at the same time please?

timelytess · 28/10/2015 01:47

Luka Bloom. It has to be a torrid but extended affair. A brief encounter will not suffice. During this period he is barred from sulking, being angry, writing miserable songs and being touchy-feely with random women.

And when he's worn out, poor chap, I'll work on his nephew, Davog. Dead sexy when sweaty from stage-building, that Davog.

WaggleBee · 28/10/2015 02:02

I'm not joining on this thread. Oh no. I'm just going to post some pics in case anyone needs suggestions...Tom Bateman, Hugh Dancy and Henry Cavill are all rather nice.

Aaron Paul an animal in bed? But he's a preacher's son.

Umm, that isn't bad though...

HelenF35 · 28/10/2015 02:34

Ed Norton or Prince Harry Grin

aurynne · 28/10/2015 04:28

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (a.k.a. Jamie Lannister). I would lead him off his sinful incestuous ways.

murphys · 28/10/2015 06:21

I have a complaint.........

This is not fair.....

I don't live in UK so don't know half the blokes you are on about. Either we don't have the tv programmes you are spotting all these fine specimens on, or I have been wearing blinkers for a while........I started making a list so I can Google images of said blokes, but now that we are on 392 posts, I fear I may get the sack as getting through that list lets factor in some swooning time is rather time consuming.

So, for all those posters who added in a picture, I thank you.

But Daniel Radcliffe?? Shock

Richie McCaw the all blacks captain. Yes, I suppose ok to look at but can you just imagine all the whingeing that would be going on during that torrid affair, just going on how many times he went tittle tailing to the referee during the SA match...........Hmm

Ok i confess I am from SA really not biased at all hehe , but really, Dan Carter is way less whiney for the torrid affair...

DoctorTwo · 28/10/2015 06:25

Caroline Proust, especially if she's in character as Laure Berthaud...

RoboticSealpup · 28/10/2015 06:34

Robert Carlyle obviously if I must choose someone... Blush
I never fancied him when he was younger but now that he's in his fifties he somehow manages to be sexier than all his younger and prettier castmates on Once upon a time. Grrr.

RaskolnikovsGarret · 28/10/2015 06:41

Has no one said Eddie Redmayne yet? Shock He is just lovely. Esp in his Les Mis costume. Although I'm fairly sure I'd squash him.

Thefitfatty · 28/10/2015 06:55

Right now, Chris Evans, if I had a time machine, a young Ernest Hemingway. Yum,

Chris Robshaw.

LemonRedwood · 28/10/2015 07:07

Dear God, when people said Chris Evans I was thinking Radio 2 and TFI Friday.

Good job thefitfatty posted that pic or I'd have thought you were all insane!

Nevergoingawaywithhimagain · 28/10/2015 07:11

Yes Daniel Radcliffe Shock. He will forever be Harry Potter.

Thefitfatty · 28/10/2015 07:12

ROFL LemonRedwood! Yes, I get all excited when I see the Daily Mail post something about Chris Evans, and it's never THIS Chris Evans, it's always the old ginger one!
