I used to fancy him so much! Particularly in The Night Manager. I definitely would (have). But since he started dating Taylor Swift, I've gone right off him.
Now I quite like Taylor Swift. Her album's pretty good and she seems like she's a good mate. But I just can't take him seriously now I've seen pictures of him wearing an "I❤️T.S" vest. She has literally killed his sexy.
Now Calvin Harris, on the other hand... I still would. I'm here for him.

Same thing happened with Henry Cavill when he started dating that 19 year-old. Put me right off him!

I've gone off him too.

Had a right thang for him. I am even the author of a slightly popular Pinerest pic/funny caption of him that's been repinned multiple times.

His sexy has gone. It was good while it lasted.

YADNBU - it's cringeworthy.

TheNaze73 · 15/07/2016 11:50

I think the TS relationship is actually genuine. She's a European champions league singer/performer & lets be honest, he's a League 1 actor & nowhere near the premier league as yet. She has far more too lose than him

BeautyGoesToBenidorm · 15/07/2016 11:57

I've never thought of him as sexy. That underwear photoshoot he did, with the anxious facial expression and Ladybird by Woolworths pack of 3 style boxers... no, just no.

As for Thor 3, all I care about is it's being directed by Taika Waititi, who I've had the weirdest, most enormous crush on since What We Do In The Shadows Grin

worrierandwine · 15/07/2016 12:00

I wasn't overly attracted to him anyway but first off, those pics of him for some mag shoot (maybe vanity fair??) of him in grandad boxers looking extremely uncomfortable didn't do his sex appeal any favours. If this Taylor Swift thing doesn't work out I think he'll look back and be embarrassed. I definitely don't think he should get Bond now.

worrierandwine · 15/07/2016 12:02

Beauty we must be telepathically linked, you can type quicker though Grin

VanillaSugar · 15/07/2016 12:27

I've never found him sexy. He is the George Osborne of actors.

BeautyGoesToBenidorm · 15/07/2016 12:32

I'm on the laptop worrier Grin

But god yeah, that photoshoot... how can ANYONE think 'There's the new Bond!' after seeing that?!

SoThisIsSummer · 15/07/2016 12:34

yeah lost it for me too.

I was excited at prospect of him being bond but now not looking forward to it at all, I think Dominic Cooper should be Bond.

molyholy · 15/07/2016 12:43

I've never found him attractive, but this Taylor Swift romance, it's all a bit Tom Cruise jumping on Oprah's couch moment. So cringeworthy.

AlmaMartyr · 15/07/2016 12:48

That awful white boxers photoshoot and the paparazzi relationship with Taylor Swift has completed killed my interest in him. Totally stone dead. It's a pity for him, because it seems like the Night Manager was making him better known and now he looks ridiculous.

BagPusscatnip · 15/07/2016 12:52

Oh God me neither, and I used to fancy him very much (he was just lovely as Prince Hal). I think it is because Taylor Swift is about as sexy as a bowl of custard. Some of her unsexiness has definitely rubbed off on poor old Tom.

I hope for his sake that this romance is the real deal because otherwise he has ruined his career and reputation for nothing Sad

completecliche · 15/07/2016 12:56

Same for me. He was gorgeous in The Night Manager although the villa in Majorca was more gorgeous but TS, the silly tee shirt and the grey shoes have put me right off.
I'm sure it's a bad PR stunt though.

ChicagoBull · 15/07/2016 13:05

He's definitely ruined his Bond chances they won't want a paparazzi darling playing him.
I wonder if it'll affect his chances of other roles too?
I like TS but agree she's weirdly unsexy even though she's beautiful

Crinkle77 · 15/07/2016 13:14

I never did like him. Just get it at all.

WordGetsAround · 15/07/2016 13:14

Completely agree. Anything there could have been between us has been killed stone dead...

CaptainCrunch · 15/07/2016 13:16

He was never sexy in the first place. And for some reason, any name that has that "iddle" sound in it, I can't take seriously. It's just too Ned Flanders for me.

orangebird69 · 15/07/2016 13:17

Yanbu. I actually cringed on his behalf when I saw those 4th July pics, especially the I❤TS t-shirt. Just no.

Somerville · 15/07/2016 13:20

Word Grin Grin

I'm only a recent convert, anyway. But agree with you all. He's gone from appearing clever and discreet to quite the opposite on both counts.

squoosh · 15/07/2016 13:21

He needs to come back to the UK, film an earnest costume drama and think about what he's done.

squoosh · 15/07/2016 13:22

Ooooh I've just thought. Is all this ridiculous behaviour because he's in mourning at having missed out on the Bond role. Frolicking in the sea with a pop princess is his way of saying 'Waaahhh, s'not fair. I wanted to be Bond'.

Somerville · 15/07/2016 13:25

Filming a period drama wouldn't be punishment enough for this infraction.

A long, depressing play (one of Chekov's perhaps) in the West End. 8 shows a week for a year.

squoosh · 15/07/2016 13:27

Maybe there's an upcoming production of The Ring Cycle that needs a dancing ex-Etonian with impeccable manners?

Somerville · 15/07/2016 13:29

Won't Eton be disowning him now? Bringing them into disrepute by courting tabloid newspapers, or some such. Grin

squoosh · 15/07/2016 13:34

Good point. Eton probably has some disciplinary system for Old Boys who bring the dear alma mater into disrepute. It probably involves being naked (except for a jauntily patterned waistcoat) and having one's bottom smacked by 100 ex Etonians.
