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?

Either Ray Liotta 90's era or Simon Baker at this moment in time.

Michael O'Hare - the chef off British menu that looked like a 70's rock star - ages me! mmmmmmmmmmmmm!

If time travel were possible, I've just remembered one of my first ever crushes. Michael Praed (but only as he looked in Robin Hood)

Just asked DP.

He said "the girl in the shop next door to mine".

I don't think he really understood what I meant. Sad

Dampfloor · 28/10/2015 21:38

^^Joking, he said Lindsay Lohan. Dirty git.

I can't actually decide.

SirChenjin · 28/10/2015 21:44

DH said he would rather kill himself of course, darling. Then he said our next door neighbour. Then he said Kylie.

He's crap at these things, I don't know why I bother asking him.

I'll never forget my horrendously inappropriate dream about Matthew Wright! Shock He has horribly squinty eyes. I posted about it on here. And thank you to the MNer who posted the pic of him in the white bikini? Bra and knickers? I didn't recover for 3 days! Grin

BathshebaDarkstone · 28/10/2015 22:12

Ooh and Anthony Keidis from the Chilis.

I met Laurence Fox when I was maybe 13/14 (he would have been about 14/15). I went to school with his sister for a bit. He was very short and very blond and that's about all I can remember about him.

Sgtmajormummy · 28/10/2015 23:01

My choice still stands. Now, where are the keys to the time machine?

OMG, Coco. YUM! And Idris Elba. Yes, please.

Okay, no one's taken Jet Li. Thank you. Send him to my chambers.

magnificatAnimaMea · 29/10/2015 00:15

SgtMajorMummy I so agree re Jeremy Irons.

But then there's Nigel Havers too... and Ben Cross...

[creaks off on zimmer frame to ponder whether light-hearted objectification matters, particularly when it's actors from the early 1980s that noone's heard of these days]

*incidentally down here in the southern hemisphere a local electricity company currently has a series of pun ads that includes "Jeremy irons... his shirts using Contact Energy". So maybe you would find more people who share your taste, in countries where English TV arrives 10 years out of date... Grin

BagelSuffragette · 29/10/2015 00:55

God, yes! Jeremy Irons has it - and the voice too. Can you imagine that Blush

Magnificat And yy to Ben Cross. Had a major crush on him after Chariots of Fire and Ian Charleson (when I didn't realise he was gay). He was lovely, died far, far too young.

magnificatAnimaMea · 29/10/2015 01:00

Bagel - yes, Ian Charleson was lovely. Such a pity he died so young - 25 years on his life could have turned out so differently.

MistressDeeCee · 29/10/2015 02:21

The guy who played King Richard in the White Queen. David Beckham. Prince Harry (I bet he's filthy), & yeah if a time machine was possible, Bob Marley...he's handsomer than all his (male) offspring...sex on legs

WhereTheFuckIsMyFuckingCoat · 29/10/2015 03:11

Robbie Williams, sadly I would literally let him do anything to me. Been desperately in love with him for about 20 odd years.

And Ruby Rose who is fucking stunning! possibly at the same time

Bardockgurl · 29/10/2015 04:03

(Pouts)
I thought I was going to be safe wanting Schneider, but no - he's been taken as part of a sandwich Sad

I suppose if the time machine is still around, I'll go for Till circa the Live Aus Berlin era. He was a bit of a knicker jaw-dropper then!

teejayem · 29/10/2015 04:24

Joe Manganiello

Those arms. Good lord.^

Also wouldn't say no to Eric Bana

And from a totally fictional perspective, Rupert Campbell-Black.

murphys · 29/10/2015 05:57

Oo yes even and just today, via mumsnet actually, I was introduced to his son Gabriel, also yum. Young, granted, but I can dream wink. Meanwhile, countdown to Dominic West in The Affair at 9pm - yay! (My original choice before I got completely carried away).

Whattime I am getting really worried about you. I shut down my pc last night (remember we have a time difference Wink ) and now this morning you are still adding blokes to your list. Now I don't think greed is the correct word here, but hells bells I reckon you are going to have to have stamina on another level at this rate Grin

Oh, and just because I can....... Wink we are already into the next season of the Affair, and Dominic West was certainly more appealing in the first season I think.

SPOLIER ALERT:.....................

he still has a great arse though

Wink
SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 29/10/2015 07:04

Regret to tell Shadowfax and OnlyLovers that Tom Burke is unavailable in his Musketeer incarnation (or as himself for that matter). He's waaaaaaaaaaaaaay to busy. Wink And the rest of the main cast are forming an orderly queue for me as I speak.

LemonRedwood · 29/10/2015 07:13

If we're getting the time machines out then I'm having Richard Chamberlain (he's not gay in my head la la la)

I completely fell in love with him watching The Slipper and the Rose when I was about 5.

He needs to be wearing the costume.

BathshebaDarkstone · 29/10/2015 07:15

I guess I've got Anthony all to myself then! GrinGrinGrin
