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

OP posts:
ShagMeRiggins · 22/06/2021 23:03

but he does something to me when he is in GI Jane

Yes, I wanted to mention that role as well!

Weirdly, I don’t remember enough about LoTR to lash on Aragorn. It was at the height of my baby-making years I think and no crushes were formed, alas.

KatnissEver · 22/06/2021 23:03

Loki, yes.
Finnick Odair but not Sam Claflin

Vicliz24 · 22/06/2021 23:04

YES to Viggo agree he should have kept the look it was beyond hot . Gene hunt too . Also Brad Pitt as Achilles .

LoudNowSing · 22/06/2021 23:07

@HollyGoLoudly1

Charlie Hunnam but only as Jax Teller.
I came on to say this. Jax is very sexy; Charlie H, not at all.

Definitely Orlando only as legolas. But unimpressed with Loki. Think Tom H only hot in Night Manager. Loved him in that... sigh...

FunTimes2020 · 22/06/2021 23:17

Russell Crowe ONLY as Maximus in Gladiator 😍

FrangipaniBlue · 22/06/2021 23:21

Gerard Butler as King Leonidas in 300 Shock

OliveHenry · 22/06/2021 23:21

Tom Ellis as Lucifer. I think it's the combination of bad boy and eyeliner!!

SpacePotato · 22/06/2021 23:30

Yes to this. Still can't believe he was in Miranda.

Orlando Bland does nothing for me with or without the elf ears and wig. He's just so bloody dull.

jadfiewahnds · 22/06/2021 23:36

Nope YABVVVVU
Loki the character is fab but puny and totally unattractive. Tom Hiddlestone is delicious, especially in the Night Manager. And High Rise. Yum.
Orlando Bloom looks like a girl in everything, that's fine but not for me

jadfiewahnds · 22/06/2021 23:38

*Hiddleston obviously

XenoBitch · 23/06/2021 01:15

Ha, I thought it was just me! Also glad to find my people :)

Moooning · 23/06/2021 02:13

Tobias Menzies as Frank beats Jamie Fraser imo. Those facial lines! Fuck me. Though I wouldn't say no to the Scotsman either. Or to Legolas, or VG, especially in LOTR. That chin. Jesus Christ. And Tommy Shelby would GET IT.

To be fair ladies, I'd sit on any one of these men's faces if they asked nicely, and I expect most of you would too.

You can't teach good taste... so break me off a piece of that fine ass beef y'all cause mama is HUUUNGRAAY

@FunTimes2020

Russell Crowe ONLY as Maximus in Gladiator 😍
YES! Utter deep voiced honourable sexy perfection in Gladiator, insufferable in real life or in anything else Grin
CoalCraft · 23/06/2021 02:47

I fancy Tom Huddleston as anything and used to feel the same way about Orlando Bloom.

However I know what you mean OP. I only fancy Henry Cavill as Geralt and Viggo Mortenson as Aragon. Think they're meh and downright bleh respectively otherwise (though Viggo's getting on in years regardless now). Olivia Wilde who played Thirteen in House was also much less phwoar in anything else.

DarceyDashwood · 23/06/2021 03:40

Just dropping by to mention Viggo as Aragorn but (of course!) multiple posters have beaten me too it.

Grubby Fellowship/Two Towers Aragorn naturally 😆

But yes OP - YANBU.

RinderTinderNotRinderGrinder · 23/06/2021 06:02

Thought of another one - slight blast from the past - Sean Bean but only as Sharpe.

Also I should probably clarify that for me it’s OB as Legolas in LOTR, NOT the Hobbit.

APJ1 · 23/06/2021 06:05

Ooh, Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones is a good one.

TheLovelinessOfDemons · 23/06/2021 06:07

@EdithGrantham

Viggo Morgensten as Aragorn and only as Aragorn (swoons slightly at the thought of him going through those doors)
Yes.
Soubriquet · 23/06/2021 06:08

I made this the other day Grin

AIBU to only fancy Tom Hiddleston as Loki and Orlando Bloom as Legolas?
OldGreyBoots · 23/06/2021 06:12

Have to disagree with Rinder, I saw Sean Bean on a chat show a couple of years ago and subsequently developed a crush on him in everything, including in real life Blush
With the age difference he could be my grandad!

TheLovelinessOfDemons · 23/06/2021 06:14

@ghostyslovesheets

me - EVERYONE as Doctor Who - except Peter Capaldi - he's just plain hot
Oh yes Peter Capaldi.
SimonJT · 23/06/2021 06:20

Ah Legolas was one of my crushes when I was about 14, I’ve always like a blonde.

My current crush is Pedro Pascal, but only as the Mandalorian, its a combination of the outfit and being a good Dad that makes him hot.

Trudij123 · 23/06/2021 06:22

I’m even more specific - Loki yes, but only in Thor Ragnarok Blush
OB in the pirates movies
Johnny Depp in the pirates movies, few places else
Tom Hardy in Venom ( as the human, not when he transforms 😂)
Mark Addy in most things
Robert Carlisle but only in the stripping section of the full Monty when he’s still got his hat on ( there’s something about the angle of it !)

exLtEveDallas · 23/06/2021 06:32

God yes, Loki and Legolas but not otherwise
Tom as Lucifer; Hell yes!
Sean as Sharpe; I’d shag that bastard.
but also RDJ as IronMan Norman Reedus as Daryl Dixon (The Walking Dead) and Matt Ryan as John Constantine (Arrow and Lucifer)

Conversely I fancy the pants off Robbie Amell, but haven’t fancied him in any role - he’s always too clean cut.
