Hunks' Housewives! - Cult

MrsGeneHunt · 07-07-2009, 19:56

Does the sight of any of the following on your tv screen produce peculiar symptoms (flutterings in your chest, tremors in your hands, widening of your pupils, flushes in your cheeks, to name but a few)?

Philip Glenister
Richard Armitage
John Simm
Robert Glenister
Zachary Quinto
David Tennant
David Morrissey
Dean Andrews

If so, you probably belong in this thread!

Who takes your fancy? Any of the above or someone else special? Whose body of work are you dying to recommend to likeminded ladies? Heck, whose BODY are you dying to recommend... get the picture?

The discussion can be as cerebral or shallow as you like - but let's get talking!

To begin, I'd like to name my top 3 current hunks:
John Simm (it was the whole dashing roundhead thing in The Devil's Whore that finally convinced me)
Richard Armitage (lusciously leathered Guy, all noble and reformed - sniff; and who could forget Thornton?!)
Philip Glenister (he can roar out at me from my tv set any day!).

Okay, ladies - prepare to share!

indecisive-one · 07-07-2009, 20:00

Irrestible opportunity to share secret or not so secret crushes!
My current top 3 are:
Philip Glenister as Gene Hunt (of course

)
Josh Holloway as Sawyer in Lost (a bit of a 'shallow' choice, but my god he's gorgeous!)
Dean Andrews (DS Ray Carling) - lovely eyes.

I'm interested to see who everyone else picks!

StrictlyRed · 07-07-2009, 21:08

Hey, you've started the thread!

For current top 3, we think alike, Mrs GH

Richard Armitage: can't wait for Spooks to start again, and I'm getting North and South dvd for my birthday, but leather clad bad boy just edges it.

Philip Glenister in his Gene Hunt alter ego (I recorded all of A2A series two, so that should keep me busy for a while

)

John Simm: even liked him as The OTT Master in Dr Who

Also getting State of Play for my birthday.

Others to follow if I can drag my mind away from these three

h007 · 08-07-2009, 07:39

MRSGENEHUNT you have a good list to start you off there.
my fave 2 on there are Richard Armitage and Zachery Quinto.

but I would also like to add;
Owain Yeoman (Rigsby on the mentalist)
Justin Chambers (Alex Karev on greys anatomy)

martinamerlot · 08-07-2009, 10:15

Yes to Philip Glenister and Richard Armitage (especially in North and South).

Zachary Quinto I only liked as Spock...

John Simm is a great actor, but I'm afraid he doesn't make my pulse race!

I'll add Dominic Purcell and Ray Stevenson to the list...I'm well known for my appreciation of both of these prepossessing chaps.

bolly69 · 08-07-2009, 11:05

yes to dominic purcell too. (old john doe fan!)

also like to add patrick dempsey (greys, enchanted, etc.)

and slightly oddly, sky news presenter colin brazier, he always looks like he needs looking after!

Quattro Kez · 08-07-2009, 11:24

*looks around at new, sparkly thread*

*notices many familiar and like-minded people*

Yay to the Hunk's Housewives thread!

MGH - you and I must've been the same person in a former life! I wholeheartedly second your choices of top hunks!

But, could I please have David Tennant as my 'bit on the side'? He'd fit there so nicely...

(Am SO pleased you fell for JS in Devil's Whore mode - bodice-bustingly dashing and brooding!

)

oooh i prefer mcsteamy to mcdreamy lol

StrictlyRed · 08-07-2009, 17:14

Nice to see this thread gathering pace!

Still thinking of hunks to add to my top 3 of RA, PG, and JS.

Meanwhile, someone not necessarily in the "hunk" category, but who comes across as a thoroughly decent and principled man is Mac Taylor in CSI New York (actor Gary Sinise)

Anyway, back to thinking about hunks.....

Have you seen The Devil's Whore? I'd seen JS in LoM and Doctor Who without going cuckoo over him. Then Kez recommended TDW and I couldn't tear my eyes away from him!! Phew!!

Bolly, I loved Patrick Dempsey in Enchanted but I haven't yet seen Grey's Anatomy. Is it worth hunting down on dvd?

Strictly, I always loved Gary Sinise in The Stand, the Stephen King mini-series. What a hero!

Cobaltmate, Tom Hardy would certainly be a worthy addition to the list!

Ooh, and what about James Purefoy? I was rather taken with him in Rome, though I missed series 2. Quite a dish!

Oh, definitely! Have seen him in The Mayor of Casterbridge, Beau Brummell and of course Rome...in all his glory! Wow!

MrsGeneHunt · 09-07-2009, 17:48

Re. James Purefoy, he was also really sweet playing St George in a light-as-a-feather family film called George and the Dragon. His co-star was Piper Perabo and the chemistry between them was HOT!

WHo's the guy in The Tudors who's a thousand times more sexy than Jonathan Rhys Meyers? I just can't think - oh, I know! Henry Cavill! Now he's worth sitting through all that popcorn history mangling for!

And I've thought of another one - Rupert Penry Jones! Hm. Once you start really thinking about it, there are LOADS of gorgeous hunks out there in telly land!

lolly-licker · 10-07-2009, 08:49

Philip Glenister and David Tennant. In my room. Now. Yum

bolly69 · 10-07-2009, 10:19

actually GH/PG was in my room last night, giving me a good old interrogation, sadly our house alarm went off and i bloody woke up!! Jebus!! (to quote Homer J.!!)

martinamerlot · 10-07-2009, 11:53

Agree about Henry Cavill. Ooh young man!

</Kathy Burke old lady character voice>

He looked better with the very short hair in series 1 of The Tudors, though...and his character was naughtier.

I really hope I get that dream tonight!*fans self at thought*

EDIT: i had a great one the other night, but I think it reveals my inner dirty thoughts if I say it out loud- but it involved me as Alex Drake, a game of truth or dare, and my very own dare for Gene

StrictlyRed · 10-07-2009, 18:15

Sounds, er...........intriguing

PG and DT are in my car right now... or rather their pictures are, stuck to the inside of the sun visor! Yes, yes, I know - how sad.

Now then, how about comparing blokes who have played the same part in films/tv? Who did you prefer?
Consider the following (I've highlighted my choices!):
Pride & Prejudice - Colin Firth / Matthew MacFadyen
Jane Eyre - Timothy Dalton / William Hurt / Ciaran Hinds / Toby Stephens
Persuasion - Ciaran Hinds / Rupert Penry Jones
Emma - Jeremy Northam / Mark Strong / Jonny Lee Miller (upcoming version - so would you prefer him in principle?)
Sense & Sensibility - (for Brandon) Alan Rickman / David Morrissey.
What do you guys think?

ElectraPalatine · 11-07-2009, 02:22

Hi there Mrs H, do we know one another?

Okay, in the spirit of sharing, and in no particular order:
Philip Glenister (for the hands and eyes)
Toby Stephens (for the mouth and voice)
Richard Armitage (for the black hair / green eyes, tall dark, handsome and scowling combination)
honourable mention to
James Purefoy, who has the most beautiful mouth I have ever seen on a man (excepting Mr Mouth like a Mince Pie himself, the late, great Paul Newman). Why isn't JP more famous?

Of your list:

Colin Firth for Pride and Prejudice, though he's done nothing for me in anything else (what can I say, I'm choosey?). Matthew MacFadyen I really wouldn't give house room. Yuk.

I still have unprintable dreams about Timothy Dalton in the blue frock coat in Jane Eyre, but went off him almost immediately when he made James Bond so dull. William Hurt was utterly woeful (and hideous). The memory of Toby Stephens' fingers running down the throat of the lucky actress in the recent Jane Eyre adaption are seared onto the back of my eyeballs.

Ciaran Hinds has a certain something intriguing and sexy, and was great in Persuasion, but not on the same scale as those above, and Rupert Penry Jones, pretty though he is, is just too pretty somehow.

Jeremy Northam is lovely in Emma, but I wouldn't cross the street for him, whereas Alan Rickman I would drag myself over the Sahara desert on my hands and knees for. I've seen him on stage and, frankly, ladies, he has sexual magnetism in spades. The only comparable experience to seeing AR in Private Lives was watching Brendan Fraser walk on the stage as Brick (Cat on a hot tin roof), wearing nothing but boxer shorts and a cast on his leg. And up to then (and even afterwards) I hated Brendan Fraser and thought he was an all American Lump. But that...

There was an audible gasp as all the ladies in the audience took two second to collect their...errr...thoughts. I am ashamed to say it took me the entire performance, plus the train ride home, to stop feeling slightly drunk. Seriously.)

I seem to remember the Tudors was a happy hunting ground. There were about five or six I wouldn't have minded a history lesson from.

Awww, well I've only ever had a couple about Ashes to ashes- that one the other night will be coming up towards the end of my latest fanfic, so look out for it

Haven't got much viewing knowledge of the aforementioned, but Alan Rickman and Colin Firth very much tickles my fancy- and although Matthew macfayden is a lovely looking chap (lucky Ms hawes!) I was put off him by his appearance in A2A- looks too much like the 118 man to me now

And their pictures will soon be in my choir folder

indecisive-one · 11-07-2009, 14:37

How could I have forgotten to add Alan Rickman to my list?! Truly, Madly, Deeply is my favourite romantic film ever ... sigh.
