Urgh, it's so disappointing. I used think Gerard Butler was every kind of phwoarrgh but have finally had to accept that he's an unwashed, bloated smelly looking guy who just isn't what he thinks he is. Arrogance without any kind of respect or charisma is just a flattened pizza with no topping stuck behind the sofa.

I had a humungous and secret crush on Robbie Coltrane when he was playing that Scottish psychic detective whose name I now forget. Went on for ages - the crush and possibly the series as well. Then he turned up as Hagrid and - yeah, it was just a hairy man mountain too far.

Yey another person who fancied Cracker

Val Kilmer

Such a lovely man though. Met him at a comic con in 2019 and he was so lovely. He can barely speak but made such an effort to chat to everyone. You could absolutely 100% fancy him for personality now!!!

Cracker! That was it. Phwoar. Wasn't he just Wink [inserts more gratuitous sexist filth for the disapproving to clutch their pearls at.]

Brad pitt was beyond sexy in Thelma and Louise and for years after but now his age has finally caught up with him unfortunately

And Dracula! (The young version, obv)

I mean i actually fancy Dracula on reading the book. I am clearly super weird.

He was gorgeous and so sad about his health now. Lovely to read how you met him.

John Shuttleworth but not Graham Fellows.
Quark from Deep Space Nine but not Armin Shimerman

I'm also idly wondering how the delectable Hot Priest/Moriarty/Andrew Scott will age. I'm sure it will be brilliantly.

@GramCracker

Yes I liked Leonardo Di Caprio in Romeo and Juliet, he looked elfin and ethereal.

BernardBlacksMolluscs · 09/02/2023 21:33

I went through a fevered 3 months of really fancying the detective in the Miss Fisher Murder Mysteries series. Like loins aflame fancied. I look at pictures of him now and am mystified. I was going through a difficult time

I felt similarly about Adam Driver as Kylo Ren, but I can still kind of see it there. with the other guy....nope

My exhusband morphed from Brad Pitt into Peter Stringfellow. Delighted to have divorced him

To be fair, the actual Brad Pitt seems to be going the same way. Step away from the leather jackets, Brad, Luv.

PanettoneMoly · 09/02/2023 21:37

Ian McShane in Lovejoy. To be fair, I was about 10.

Sean Bean in reverse. Sharpe does nothing for me but give me Boromir or Ned Stark any day. Even the Yorkshire “do it for Yaaarkshire!” Tea ad hasn’t put me off.

TanyaandGreg · 09/02/2023 21:38

Totally agree with PPs on Ian Somerhalder.

MissLucyEyelesbarrow · 09/02/2023 21:39

Jimmy Nail and Richard Madeley were not names I expected to see in this thread repeatedly. MNetters never fail to surprise 😁

KateofGhent · 09/02/2023 21:42

Not an actor but Robert Palmer when he sang "Addicted to Love".

Viggo Mortenson but only as Aragorn . Any other role is an absolute No !

You have to watch Captain Fantastic

@MissLucyEyelesbarrow i blame it on my menopausal hormones!

Kevin Whately.

Yeah, pretty bad.
