I am not even slightly interested in either of them in anything else or in actual life. In fact I would say they are a turn OFF in real life interviews when I’ve come across them.

But as those characters - absolutely

Orlando Bloom as Legolas definitely. He is a terrible actor in everything but LOTR. Like Arnie as the terminator he played a character with no emotion so didn’t need to act as such. But omg in POTC he is just so awful, and gets worse.

Tom Hiddleston never ever no!!. I find him so sleazy. Nothing about him or Loki does it for me.

SiobhanSharpe · 22/06/2021 21:41

Yes! TH in the Night Manager first and foremost. (I may have watched a certain scene rather too many times.)
Loki is a bit, well jokey for me.

SisterMichael · 22/06/2021 21:41

A bit less Hollywood but for me Gene Hunt. Philip Glenister not so much.

Also Sherlock but not Benedict Cumberbatch.

Bellasblankexpression · 22/06/2021 21:42

@SisterMichael agree 100%
Gene hunt in ashes to ashes especially

Aragorn - phwoarr! But yes to not really liking VM in anything else.

Night Manager for me too.

Don’t fancy Orlando in anything.

Spike was hot.

100% yanbu. I’ve pondered this a lot 😉

@KnitFastDieWarm yes!! Rewatching peaky and I'm too obsessed with Tommy 🤤 google Cillian and it's a big fat no.

Susannahmoody · 22/06/2021 21:48

Sure he's been mentioned but Cillian in PB. OMFG very, very sexy

Susannahmoody · 22/06/2021 21:49

Omg @KnitFastDieWarm, you're still around!

I love your username Smile

Susannahmoody · 22/06/2021 21:50

Mathew Mconaghy in Dallas Texas etc etc.

Very appealing

CheerfulBunny · 22/06/2021 21:58

Hmm. I'd forgotten about Mr Hiddleston in The Night Manager... (rubs thighs vigorously, misses the point of the thread) I find him a bit annoying otherwise. Loki is a wee bit greasy for me. I think it's his hair I find disagreeable. Plus I can't take OB seriously since I've seen him with his cock out on a paddleboard.

DroopyClematis · 22/06/2021 21:59

Spot on!

waltzingparrot · 22/06/2021 22:00

JRM as Henry VIII in the Tudors - yes please.
JRM in real life - pass

Bellasblankexpression · 22/06/2021 22:00

@CheerfulBunny the dick flop incident along with that newspaper magazine profile about his average day did it for me (was it a newspaper magazine? I can’t remember the publication)

Viggo Mortensen is hot as hell as Aragorn, but in his own person - never in a million years.

KatherineOfGaunt · 22/06/2021 22:04

Hell yes to Orlando as Legolas only. And Viggo Mortensen as Aragon. I remember being REALLY disappointed when I saw Viggo in real life. If I was him, I'd have the long hair/long leather jacket/fingerless gloves/sword thing going on all the time.

Great actor, though. Have you seen him in 'Green Book'? Brilliant.

Ninkanink · 22/06/2021 22:04

Oh god that was the most wanky bit of nonsense wasn’t it...

CheerfulBunny · 22/06/2021 22:05

@Bellasblankexpression Katy Perry's look of utter mortification says it all, really Grin Silly boy.

ghostyslovesheets · 22/06/2021 22:05

me - EVERYONE as Doctor Who - except Peter Capaldi - he's just plain hot

KatherineOfGaunt · 22/06/2021 22:05

*Aragorn.

YoureAllABunchOfBastards · 22/06/2021 22:06

YADNBU

But Viggo as Aragorn - I'd climb over Tom and Orlando to get to him

bakingdemon · 22/06/2021 22:07

@EdithGrantham oh yes yes yes to Aragorn. I used to daydream about him when I was a teenager after reading the books and then the films made him even dreamier. So....heroic. And noble. Never fancied Viggo Mortenson in anything else either.
