...isn't that a strange feeling?

And why do you suppose it happens? Is it some aspect of the fictional character's personality that appeals to you, or is there something else at play?

I'll throw out a few of my own examples for ya.




I think the new version of The Joker in The Dark Knight is the hottest thing to come across the screen since ever. No, really. But Heath Ledger never did a thing for me.

Silent Bob is cute as hell to me, but as big a fan as I am, I don't think I'd fuck Kevin Smith even if I was paid to.

Brian Slade/Maxwell Demon of Velvet Goldmine is stunning, but Jonathan Rhys Meyers is just kinda eh.

Totally agree and i'm straight. The Joker was the reason i looked at the thread.

Just for you (and me, I guess )

Denzel Washington was pretty fine in Training Day but he's not my type really. Don't get me wrong, he's not unattractive but I don't see why women go crazy over him.

I love mr. bean but rowan needs a nose job.

I fell in love with Ennis del Mar, the character that Heath Ledger played
in Brokeback Mountain but I never cared for Heath, physically speaking, in other movies

oh hell yeah.

Denzel is attractive and all but his bad boy character....ooo wee that shit was sexy.

Interview with the Vampire marked the first time I ever found Tom Cruise (who played the vampire Lestat) attractive.

I also found Brad Pitt as vampire Louis and Vincent Perez as vampire Marius in sequel Queen of the Damned attractive, while both actors leave me altogether unimpressed elsewhere.

Yes ma'am.

Lammastide said:

Yes...! Sexy assed vampires!

Male or female - playing the role of a sexy ass vampire, and I want to be theirs for breakfast, lunch and dinner!

Hugh Grant in 'About a Boy'

meow85 said:

FYI for those pitching a fit about how he looks in the movie as if he looked like that in real life...im sure MUCH of that is makeup and lighting.
even the prettiest can look haggard in the right lighting.
so add to it that they purposefully did so in the movie.

JustErin said:

Hugh Grant is beautiful in whatever he does

nakedpianoplayer said:

He's totally not my type physically.

JustErin said:

body wise, not so much...


but i fell IN LOVE with him in love actually.... that dancing scene was so sweet

good butt too!

KidaDynamite said:

Ditto that for my view of Brad Pitt. My eyes work fine -I can see he's a good looking guy, but I don't know why people fall all over themselves at how hot he is.

Except in Interview. The undead worked for him.

garganta said:

Ennis didn't do it for me, but everytime I watch BBM I find myself wanting to just wrap him up in a blankie and snuggle him. Poor guy...

...that's sorta harsh actually.

meow85 said:

Silent Bob?
Im glad too hear that somebody thinks hes cute.

Yup. I think he's cute. Kevin Smith not so much.

gary oldman isnt one of my fave actors but he played one of my fave characters-dracula in bram stokers dracula.oldman made dracula very unsexy. i give it to christopher lee for the greatest potrayal of the sexy blod sucking dracula!

raveon2tnek said:

I'm not sure any of the big or small screen Draculas I've seen did it for me. Which is funny, because that character is essentially where the "sexy vampire" archetype was born, and I tend to find vampire characters appealing.

I actually don't like Bela Lugosi's Drac at all. Is his just the definitive version because it was the first? Yeah, yeah, I know Nosferatu came first, but he was done in the more traditional folkloric "grotesque monster" style, so it's not really the same thing.
