Was just watching Liar, the new series on ITV, earlier, which he's in.

AIBU?

Please don't crush my dreams and tell me I'm being U Grin

He is bloody gorgeous. I've said it the past 20-odd years.

AnneGrommit · 12/09/2017 01:32

I've had my beady eye on him for a couple of decades at least a while as well. Yanbu.

powershowerforanhour · 12/09/2017 01:39

3 posts in and no Hornblower joke yet. YADNBU.

SerfTerf · 12/09/2017 01:40

Forever was very watchable in a slightly schlocky, genre way. He's very pretty in that. and nice period breeches for some of it

What was Liar like? I see it's the Williams brothers writing. They're suddenly everywhere (The Missing etc.)

oldlaundbooth · 12/09/2017 01:58

Yes he's alright.

I'll look into Liar

PolkaDotty7 · 12/09/2017 02:15

Ooh yes I liked him in Fantastic Four. He played Mr Fantastic Wink

GinIsIn · 12/09/2017 02:18

Oooh yes. I've thought he was very watchable since he did great Expextations about 20 years ago!

Met his wife a few times though and she was consistently less than pleasant, which slightly coloured my judgement of him.

Iusedtobeafreeelf · 12/09/2017 02:40

He's flipping gorgeous YADNBU

planbatman · 12/09/2017 03:12

SerfTerf I was raging when Forever was cancelled! He's lovely in it.

elfinpre · 12/09/2017 04:00

You're rather late to the party, and joining the back of a very long queue, I've fancied him since the 90s.

Great to see him playing a part like this in Liar though and not a hero/superhero for a change.

Peachypie83 · 12/09/2017 04:33

I've had a crush on him for years. I may even know every scene in Titanic where he appears... I've even subjected myself to watching 102 Dalmations through my love of him Grin

Fosterdog123 · 12/09/2017 06:35

I met him once, years ago, via work and he flirted outrageously with me. I had no idea who he was until I spotted him on breakfast tv! He was indeed gorgeous and very twinkly but teeny tiny and had very big hair and minuté little shorts on!

RosaDeZoett · 12/09/2017 06:59

I was coming on to totally agree..... But then the Titanic reference threw me..... I then realised I was confusing Ioan Gruffudd with Rhys Ifans Blush (it's all those lovely rolling Welsh vowels) Rhys I totally would, Ioan, not so much! 😂

To quite like Ioan Gruffudd?
TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 12/09/2017 07:31

I imagine that this is why he's been cast in this particular role in Liar: no-one can really believe that the good-looking, charming, slightly self-deprecating guy could be a rapist.

GinIsIn · 12/09/2017 07:35

@FosterDog123 are you sure that was him? He's quite tall....

cheesydoesit · 12/09/2017 07:49

Yes! I first noticed him in Warriors on BBC when I was a young pup.

squoosh · 12/09/2017 07:52

'He was indeed gorgeous and very twinkly but teeny tiny and had very big hair and minuté little shorts on'^

Do he's basically a Welsh Ronnie Corbett?

thatstoast · 12/09/2017 07:52

I have also met Ioan Grufydd. There was no outrageous flirting as I was 15-16 at the time but he's at least 5'10.

I loved Forever. I think objectively I knew it wasn't great and really schmaltzy but worse shows get renewed.

imjustanerd · 12/09/2017 07:53

I've loved him since the Hornblower days, he's gorgeous

elfinpre · 12/09/2017 07:53

He was indeed gorgeous and very twinkly but teeny tiny

He's 11cm taller than me and over 6ft. If that's teeny tiny, I like teeny tiny.

BabsGanoush · 12/09/2017 08:01

hummmm Liar.

Could be good, but so 'made for TV' with beautiful people everywhere - even the female Detective had flawless makeup.

and why the police cars with flashing lights outside the house, with forensically suited SOCO's throughout the house Hmm Why where they dusting the coffee table? He's admitted being there FGS.

Dr Foster it aint.

Fosterdog123 · 12/09/2017 09:24

Well now you've thrown me. I WAS 100% certain it was him. They were there filming and I met Christina Ricci too. It was a looooong time ago - about 16 years ago - but I remember him being about 5'8 ish but tiny more in a build way - very slim and slight.

TableMirror · 12/09/2017 09:34

Does anyone remember him in "Love in the 21st Century" on C4?

Great series if I recall, google tells me it was 2009!

Peachypie83 · 12/09/2017 09:53

@TableMirror Yes I do! His wife caught him wanking over a girlie mag 😂

NearLifeExperience · 12/09/2017 10:07

I always thought he was gorgeous, but remember reading a few years ago that he was really short, so I went off him Blush so it's funny that a PP above is also saying he's short, despite the fact that everywhere on the internet (I looked!) says he's a perfectly respectable 5' 11 1/2".

Perhaps he has a mini me/ little doppelganger somewhere!
