Can't work out whether or not David Tennant is attractive.

Bit of a newbie to Dr Who but started watching on Netflix about 3 weeks ago and am on series 4. There's definitely something about David Tennant and there's a running joke about companions, Captain Jack, etc. fancying him but I can't work out if he's actually attractive. AIBU???

What's Blackpool?

Oh Discopanda had never noticed the llama likeness but now I have, spot on!
Sorry David T is not attractive although he gives the impression, to me, that he thinks he is.

mrssmith79 · 06/11/2015 01:45

Nope. He just seems a bit flimsy for my liking.

PerspicaciaTick · 06/11/2015 01:48

The teeny tiny leather trousers in Fright Night changed my opinion of DT for the better

CoffeeAndOranges · 06/11/2015 03:21

He was lovely in Broadchurch though. Those big brown eyes and freckles. Mmm.

When I first met DH I went away thinking he looked a bit like DT - he doesn't really but it's one thing that made me think I might want to see him again. And I don't really fancy DT all that much, just think he's a bit of alright Wink

He is not attractive in my opinion but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Yes he is, not least because he doesn't take himself at all seriously. Have a look at the latest HIGNFY.

StarlingMurmuration · 06/11/2015 07:29

No, he isn't. He looks too much like a weasel.

Sparklingbrook · 06/11/2015 07:33

Can't decide. He looked better than normal when he hosted HIGNFY the other week. But I am erring on the side of no.

BikeRunSki · 06/11/2015 07:35

Not so much him (too small and a bit ratty), but his accent. Now, dt's accent on Daniel Craig....

QuietNinjaTardis · 06/11/2015 07:42

David tennant is very attractive. I'm pretty sure he's a nice bloke too. Anyway he's mine so you lot don't need to worry Tardis

Sparklingbrook · 06/11/2015 07:44

I thought it was the rules that anyone that plays Dr Who can't be attractive. Seems that way.

ZaZathecat · 06/11/2015 07:47

Absolutely! Oh yes you have to see Blackpool!

dreamingofblueskies · 06/11/2015 07:56

Yes he is, he's bloody gorgeous, second only to Inception era Leonardo DiCaprio.

TheDowagerCuntess · 06/11/2015 07:56

He doesn't do it for me. He reminds me of that small rodent-like chap that spends all his time getting a crick in his neck looking up at Jeremy Clarkson and James May.

I suspect I am twice his height. Off-putting.

FreshGarbage · 06/11/2015 08:13

He's 6 foot, dowager!

Luciferbox · 06/11/2015 08:15

He is but his teeth and mouth are a bit odd at times.

FunkyPeacock · 06/11/2015 08:15

He does nothing for me. At all

But I have a good friend who would have him at the top of her laminated list

OTheHugeManatee · 06/11/2015 08:16

Weak chin, and skinny. Not at all my thing.

OnlyHereForTheCamping · 06/11/2015 08:17

God I love him

ALittleFaith · 06/11/2015 08:17

Don't think he's good looking but he's definitely attractive.

Bixxy · 06/11/2015 08:17

He definitely is. And yy to Casanova, loved him in that!

museumum · 06/11/2015 08:18

Casanova really surprised me. It's a charisma thing I think. Doesn't work in still photos but I could totally get him as Casanova.

littledrummergirl · 06/11/2015 08:19

We watched some filming of a Christmas special once as my dc loved the show. We were there for hours waiting and found ourselves shoved to a spot the dc couldn't see him.
A friendly policeman pointed us out during a reset and he made himself known and waved to the kids.
They still remember that so imo not a knob.
I like him. Grin
