to say that Michael Shannon is super hot?

Been rewatching some of his films over the weekend and somehow didn't notice on first viewing how hot that man is. Anyone with me or am I being so unreasonable that I get to have him all to myself?

Hmm just me then, well at least I have him all to myself!

I've always found him a little creepy looking. Sorry! Especially after watching 'Take Shelter'
Each to their own tho! Enjoy your ogling!

I do know what you mean but I think he's lovely. I do also love Christopher Walken, Cillian Murphy and Paul Dano so perhaps creepy looking guys are my thing!

I'm not sure about super hot but he has a definite charm. I'd give him a go.

FissionChip5 · 04/03/2019 22:25

I have an American crack head friend who looks like him, he’s single..Grin

iklboo · 04/03/2019 22:29

Erm. No. But he is a very good actor.

Mmmhmmokdear · 04/03/2019 22:30

He reminds me of a cross between Rami Malek & Willem Defoe.

QueenOfTheAndals · 04/03/2019 22:35

Yeah, there's something about him or rather the characters he plays. A single-mindedness and purposefulness. Usually for nefarious means so what does that say about us???

Budsbegginingspringinsight · 04/03/2019 22:43

OP have you seen Frank and Lola? He plays a sort of romantic lead in it. Really good film,he was excellent as brooding passionate lead...need to see him in more of those rolls

SrSteveOskowski · 04/03/2019 22:51

I had to google him. Erm, no. He's all yours OP!

AnneLovesGilbert · 04/03/2019 22:54

You can have him! But be careful OP, he gives me the absolute creeps. Likewise Cillian Murphy. I’ve never forgiven him for the Scarecrow. Shuddering just thinking about both of them.

Do you want to save them from themselves?

I'm not sure about saving them from themselves its more I want to do unspeakable things to them!

Word OP. I fancy Michael Shannon so much.Have you seen Midnight Special? That was my gateway drug. Look up his lip synch battle also.

QueenOfTheAndals · 06/03/2019 18:45

I didn't realise he sang!

SurgeHopper · 06/03/2019 18:46

He was in boardwalk empire I think

MissionItsPossible · 06/03/2019 19:04

Have never heard of him so just googled some pictures and then googled his age. I had him in his early 60’s, he looks much older than early 40’s. Not for me but the world would be so boring if we all liked the same things.

So I watched Frank & Lola last night and really enjoyed it, Michael Shannon is lush in it! Chezbot nice to know I'm not completely alone in my predilections ;p

I really don't think he looks as old as people say sure his face has a bit of character but he doesn't look old to me.

Will be watching Complete Unknown tonight and also wanted to mention his turn as the Israeli spy master in the bbcs little drummer girl surprisingly hot with a mustache also!

Eliza9917 · 07/03/2019 09:33

Agree with you re: Cillian Murphy op, I'd keep him.

AliceAforethought · 07/03/2019 09:43

Had to google him, but realise now I’d seen him in Little Drummer Girl.

He is very lovely. I certainly would!

Deadringer · 07/03/2019 10:15

You can have him op, he reminds me of Tarantino (who is creepy as fuck).

EscapeTheCastle · 07/03/2019 10:33

Love Micheal Shannon. First saw him in Broadwalk Empire. Midnight Special is a personal favourite. I also like him a lot in Man of Steel. It's quite hard to fancy him in some of his movies though as he plays intense insane very well.

Hope you have seen him reading "the Insane Delta Gamma Sorority Letter" it's on you tube.

AliceAforethought · 07/03/2019 15:03

That insane delta sorority thing is so funny.
MS reads it brilliantly

FishCanFly · 07/03/2019 15:11

he's interesting. super hot? not my type really

nickEcave · 07/03/2019 15:14

Absolutely loved him in Midnight Special. He's not a patch on Cillian Murphy in the looks departments though. Cillian is quite simply the hottest man alive Grin
