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

No to OB in anything but YY to Aragorn and Indiana J/Han Solo.

I'll add: Hugh Grant in Bridget Jones only - he does nothing for me in his usual public schoolboy fop roles.

Theeyeballsinthesky · 23/06/2021 06:44

This is a brilliant thread Grin

YANBU about Orlando bloom and add me ti the Viggo but only as Aragorn list. Also Russel Crowe but only as maximus list.

Evan peters but only as Zabel in Mare of eastown. I didn’t even recognise him and damn!!

You might all like to know that Tom Hiddleston is reading the cbeebies bedtime story this Friday (The Evil Pea - because he's evil and green Grin )

ConstanceGracy · 23/06/2021 06:55

I’m the same with Chris Pratt, I drool over him as Starlord but as himself, nah.
Must be the character’s personality that helps

Bellasblankexpression · 23/06/2021 07:02

Delighted to have woke up to some excellent ones!

YY to Peter Capaldi but only has the foul mouthed Malcolm Tucker Grin

I like Tom as Loki and Chris Pratt as Starlord but not as themselves

I’m not one to have crushes on men but three I like..

James Marsters as Spike
Killian Murphy as Captain Hook
Jensen Ackles as Dean Winchester

Quartz2208 · 23/06/2021 07:09

It’s possibly an eye liner/eye make up effect and leather

DD loves Colin O Donoghue as Hook in Once Upon a Time so watched his space programme just not the same.

I love Hugh Laurie in House cannot compute it’s the same actor as in Jeeves and Wooster/Blackadder

Soubriquet · 23/06/2021 07:10

It’s Killian Murphy not Colin O Donaghue

Soubriquet · 23/06/2021 07:11

Aaaah I’m wrong!

Sorry Blush

Coffeeiloveyou1 · 23/06/2021 07:16

Tom Holland but only performing umbrella in lip sync

ConstanceGracy · 23/06/2021 07:19

@Coffeeiloveyou1

I adore Tom Holland in anything, he is just the cutest but feels wrong as I’m 39 and he’s so young 😬
Bellasblankexpression · 23/06/2021 07:24

@Coffeeiloveyou1 I love how specific this is!

Member984815 · 23/06/2021 07:37

Agree with all of these

exLtEveDallas · 23/06/2021 07:39

Oh God yes, that Tom/Zendaya battle was epic and raunchy, but made me uncomfortable the next time I saw him on screen as Peter Parker Blush

Fyredraca · 23/06/2021 07:53

Temple of Doom was peak hotness for Indy, worst film of the series but that chest Grin
Tom Hiddleston as Night Manager, Henry Cavill only as Geralt.
Peter Capaldi can swear at me anytime, he was also gorgeous in The Crow Road way way back.
Spike in Buffy, definitely never Angel sorry not sorry.

@Trudij123
DD and I watched Full Monty at the weekend (she's 17 and I've been introducing her to my "no idea why, they just are" comfort food films and, not coincidentally, men. When it started, and they were in the steelworks I said "now, look carefully at this man, he's about 2ft tall but he's the sexiest thing on the planet in this film" and after she looked at me in horror after about 5 minutes she concurred I was, as ever, right. Grin

See, I only fancy Hugh Grant in Love Actually.

I'm wondering if there's an unexpected dance connection to my crushes.

HunterAngel · 23/06/2021 08:16

Definitely Tom Ellis as Lucifer
Viggo Mortenson as Aragorn
Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones or Han Solo
Jensen Ackles as Dean Winchester

Hmmm, starting to think I have a type! Maybe it’s the leather jackets…although Tom Ellis looks mighty fine in those suits…

OliveHenry · 23/06/2021 08:58

Dare I mention Rowan Atkinson but only in Blackadder II ? Grin

Ineedtogotobednowplease · 23/06/2021 09:13

@ConstanceGracy I'm the same. I do think he is very easy on the eye, but I'm technically only just old enough to be his mum. It does make myself feel like a dirty old sex pest

Genderwitched · 23/06/2021 09:15

Colin Firth, only as Darcy.

Genderwitched · 23/06/2021 09:18

Whereas I would fancy Matthew Macfayden in just about anything.

aggathapanthus · 23/06/2021 09:24

Tommy Shelby, meh, take or leave.
Tom Hardy/Alfie Solomons, now we’re talking Grin

NarcissaMalfoysManicure · 23/06/2021 09:36

aggathapanthus YES. I feel very seen Grin. Lovely Alfie sigh

Fyredraca · 23/06/2021 09:37

@OliveHenry

I think it would be rude not to. Bob certainly agrees with you, as do I!

ladygindiva · 23/06/2021 09:40

Jason Isaacs as hook and daddy malfoy
