Robert Carlyle Sexiest Roles

50 replies

Goldilocks99 · 07/12/2021 10:05

I've got an all consuming Robert Carlyle crush since binge watching Once Upon a Time. Which of his other roles is he sexiest in? Not Begbie!
Full disclosure: I'm a grown ass married woman and this is an embarrassing level of crush.

I could watch him on a loop in The Full Monty. So sexy.

Hamish Macbeth 😊

Yes, I just watched that for the first time ever, as I was too young to appreciate it the first time round.
He's just off the scale hot in Ouat though, was wondering if he had any other roles like that.

Yes, I saw Hamish Macbeth listed as a role. Is it something I could feasibly get my husband to watch?

Haha it's funny, I always used to find him attractive but OUAT totally ruined it for me and I found him really unattractive in that!

Mochudubh · 07/12/2021 10:13

I found him weirdly attractive as Rumple but not as Mr Gold or anything else he's been in.

Haha, I think I'm the opposite. I think it's partly because Rumple is a complex, multi layered character and partly the historicalesque costumes.

It shows it's age now but It's very easy watching. Perfect for a Sunday evening snuggled up on the sofa with a blanket and a glass of wine.

Yes, it's weird. I went from wondering what Cora saw n him to full on crush in about one episode.

He's was best in the late 90s -face and looking after jojo - not that his characters were the best though

I might be slightly against the curve here as I like him in OUAT and he's gotta be at least late forties in that.
It might be the long hair...

He's a weird one because objectively, he's quite odd looking. But he is bone-meltingly sexy.

bone-meltingly sexy.. hard agree.

Definitely Hamish MacBeth

That's where I first "noticed" him

Itsalmostanaccessory · 07/12/2021 15:42

I liked him in 51st State. Watch that!

It's raw sex appeal. Isn't he also about 3ft 6? DD watched the Full Monty with me for the first time this summer and as I sat there squealing at how utterly sexy he is, she was just shaking her head and looking at me like I was a loon. She'll learn.

Five foot seven. I checked (just about tall enough for me haha)

Plunkett and MacLeane is a good Robert Carlyle film

I'd need a box. Luckily I've still got one leftover from when Tom Cruise turned into lizard alien and I binned him.

this is utterly brilliant and my go to for cheering up

but the sex factor is Jonny Lee Miller. No offence, I think RC is attractive too. But JLM is like....wow....and now with the tatts...! amazing.

OGenkiDesuKa · 07/12/2021 18:33

51st state.

MrsMcCluskeysCat · 07/12/2021 18:33

I am so glad it's not just me who's had a stinking crush on him since seeing him as Rumple in OUAT!!

I have been known to sit and watch the full length Johnnie Walker advert on YouTube...

Palavah · 07/12/2021 18:39

I'd second Plunkett and Maclean. Double trouble...

I think I had better save that for when DH is outGrin

I remember developing a huge crush on him aged 15 after The Full Monty, along with a lot of girls I was a school with.
