Disney RIVALS

[Vitriolinsanity]

Rupert is not blonde!!!!

Alex Hassel plays RCB. Sexiest man in Britain.

As a Jilly purist, surely this cannot be right.

I'm not being bloody unreasonable am I?

Agree. He looks nothing like RCB.

It's many hours later, and my consternation has not diminished.

I accept that the RCB of my reading mind cannot really exist, but why not a Chris Carmack, Chris Hemsworth or even marmite I know Brad????

Agree! Im disappointed by lots of the cast.

YANBU I'm not sure I can bring myself to watch it! I've seen photos of the cast and RCB is just so far from how he looks in my imagination!

I didn't even look at the rest, such was my chick literary outrage.

I'm going to do so now.

David Tennant is also nothing like the description of Tony Baddingham. Monica looks pleasingly perfect however!

I, for one, cannot wait. Currently on my umpteenth re-read. I’m prepared to put aside the casting because it looks like so much fun and I need a laugh.

Absolutely agree with "should have been Chris Hemsworth" 😂😂 but having seen the trailer I'm almost prepared to give Alex the benefit of the doubt as his portrayal of RCB seems spot on! Just a pity he doesn't look like the image in our minds... and yes, Lord B is supposed to be chunky and swarthy looking... but I'm sure David Tennant will be brilliant!
I can't wait - it looks like a lot of fun!
