Rob and I finished the second series of Game of Thrones last night. Neighbour told me to watch it, oh 18 months ago, and so I am finally on board. Because you know me, late joiner. The show has taken me a while to get into – probably because we would watch an episode and then a few weeks later, watch another. Too many worlds, too many names….but these summer holidays though we have tackled the show watching 2 episodes every night and then heading to bed to have dreams of wars and fighting and um, Jon Snow.
Mentioned it on Facebook last night and it’s nice to know I am in good company with many of you. I know he is meant to be 14 in the books. I know that he would smell of dead things and BO and all that. But. JON SNOW. Those surly looks over his shoulder. That black hair in his face. Those FURS. That voice. Those big wide shoulders….I have NO idea what anyone says about this show being good for your sex life. No idea at all.
Got me thinking about some of the other TV characters out there that float a few of your boats. I recall on Facebook last year that for some people it was this fine specimen.
I get it. He really is funny. A bit useless. A bit smart. AN ARCHITECT. A little overweight. He’s a little like all our husbands rolled into one. Sure he is Peppa’s DAD, but you know, he’s a good pig.
So who else on TV is um, really good at acting? Who do you think about now and then? I can assure you that I have NEVER had thoughts about the TV co host of the Daily Edition I have been on last year. None at all. I mean I AM A PROFESSIONAL. Sheesh.
So, tell me. Fess up. I won’t tell a soul…
Gerard Butler. That’s all I need to say…. but don’t tell anyone. Lol
Mmmm … me too. I first “discovered” him in Phantom of the Opera … where he was supposed to be monstrous … but was actually much hotter than the “hero” … monstrous and all :0)
No one will know.
Gerard Butler when he does the strip show in PS I Love You!
Scott Pape the finance guy (Barefoot Investor) on the channel 7 7pm news with Melissa Doyle. He’s a honey and a finance nerd!
Bree! Love it.
It all started with ‘Gilbert Blythe’ from Anne of Green Gables…
You’ve nailed it right there. Dead right.
Oh man, he was my first major crush! Him and Alex Papps on Henderson Kids!
Oh Cat same! That and some of the boys from YTT. Who was Karen’s partner? HIM.
Oh yes! Sigh……
One of my first crushes too!
John Snow is mighty fine, but I often find my thoughts drifting towards Sherlock (Benedict Cumberbatch) and Dr Brian Cox (Wonders of the Universe series, particle physicist and ex-musician). Oh yeah.
Thoughts tend to wander…you’re not alone.
I went to one of Brian Cox’s live shows last year and didn’t know whether to be fascinated or completely twitterpated. I could listen to him discuss particle physics forever.
First time I’ve wanted to be a red head.
Yes!
Forgive me as I’ve had similar thoughts … we need to debrief after Season 3!
Onto it…downloading it as we speak….
I have recently had sinful thoughts about James Franco.. I think it is because he is really smart, he acts, screenwriters, produces. He is also an author AND a teacher. I used to find his squinting annoying, but now I find it quite endearing. Having said that, I wouldn’t kick Adam Levine out of bed for farting. X
We/re not picky x
I think it’s the voice of Daddy Pig that is so weirdly attractive 🙂 My pick would have to be Jim Carey especially now he’s older. Sherlock Holmes Robert Downey Jnr, oh yeah, but strangely not so much in Iron Man. Liz x
I think you could be right Liz. I’d love to have Daddy Pig over for dinner and get him blind drunk…
Richard. Harrow. He’s from Board Walk Empire. He looks slightly terrifying (he got half his face blown off in the war) but he’s the sweetest, kindest, most loyal person in the world. He’s also a total badass and shoots heaps of bad guys. Swoon. In Boardwalk, no one is safe. Seriously they kill off main characters without a second a thought. I’m literally watching the show now just to make sure that Richard is okay. Jack Huston, the guy who plays him, is gifted. I think it’s the best television performance I’ve ever seen.
Love it Carly – will have to take a look at it. LOVE shows like that x
Ok I have an admission to make. This summer I’ve been hooked on The vampire Diaries. I realise it’s a bit teen angsty a but OMG Damon (actor Ian Somerhalder) and those blue eyes! See attached image in case you don’t know who I’m talking about. He’s the bad boy who’s really a good by deep down but sooooooo naughty! It’s all on Apple TV btw. I started it when I finished GOT 😉
AGREED! He is just amazing
I just can’t take to the vampires…but this…him…maybe I could?!
Jeremy Clarkson and Kevin McLoud. There. I said it. Yes both old enough to be my father.
Oh EMMA! Too funny.
I watched the entire 7 or something seasons of The Tudors on Netflix. Why? Johnathon Rhys Meyers. That’s why!! Shhh!
Oh he is GOOD. Those eyes!
No no… he’s bad. Very very bad!! *swoon*
The husband wouldn’t have sex with me the same night as watching Breaking Bad because he knew I’d be fantasizing about “Jesse”. OH MY GOD. Mmmm bad boys hey haha.
Classic.
“”Yeah bitch” that Jesse does something to me too .. I even spend time googling him but that damn super model wife keep popping up .
Kevin McCloud. He knows about architecture AND is handy…
I imagine he would be very handy indeed…
Ragnar Lothbrok from Vikings – so excited it’s back in Feb/March. I INSIST that we watch it. It’s gruesome and really graphic, and very intense – but just watch it & you’ll see what I mean. Or if you’re not into gruesome, just google Travis Fimmel. Also, second Emma’s Kevin McCloud. I stood 2 meters away from him at the last Grand Designs Expo and had a total fan girl moment. Hubby took a photo of me with him in the background, partially obscured by a pot plant whilst filming a segment for a show.
God love my hubby 🙂
Will check it out!
Daddy Pig?!?! I was just thinking this morning how annoying and clueless he is. Daddy Zebra the postman also annoys me, he delivers about 5 letters and it’s a busy day. Anyway, that provoked some strange deep-hidden emotions!!
The two that pop into my head are Don Draper (unoriginal, I know) and embarrassingly Phil Dunphy from Modern Family.
Which makes me think, when did I start lusting after the father/old man roles instead of the young teen idols? A sign of ageing!
Oh and this is just TV. If I had to start naming movie stars or musicians we might be here a while…
Deep seeded Peppa Pig issues…I like what we have tapped here x
For some reason mine would be that guy from a The Blacklis..James Spader..he’s just so so nasty. And my all time fave is Ryan Gosling yum yum yum
I am putting Game of Thrones on our list next. We are currently going through Fringe. It’s Kevin McCloud for me too! Lucy (diminishing Lucy) calls him “the thinking woman’s crumpet” and I love that! I think it’s his pieces to camera at the end and his clear intelligence that gets me. Plus, architect!
Same as Daddy Pig! 😉
I hope there’s a news story in America every day when we watch The Today Show just so I can catch a glimpse of Denham Hitchcock. Swoon!
Classic.
Patrick from offspring,that hunk of spunk ,Channing Tatum yum oh yum ,Gerard butler and of course old George Clooney he can make me coffee any day!I do like a bad boy!
John Barrowman as Captain Jack from Dr Who/Torchwood. Throw in the Welshness of his love Ianto Jones *swoon is an understatement 🙂
Welshness…YES!
I have just finished all the Game of Thrones books (and the TV series) and I cannot WAIT to see what happens next. Love Jon Snow, but I didn’t mind Robb Stark either!
My other big crush is Charlie Hunnam (Jax Teller) on Sons of Anarchy… so much fabulousness wrapped up in bad boy clothing, lol. The show is brilliant too, which adds to the attraction, I have to say 🙂
I might have to check that one out!
I just got flew through season 2 of a show called Hart of Dixie with an awful lot of appreciation for the often shirtless Wade (played by Wilson Bethel). Some serious eye candy there! I haven’t made it onto Game of Thrones yet… been putting it off. But really, what 14 year old boy has shoulders or can grow facial hair like that?! I say go ahead and let him float that boat 😉
Mine is the actor from Legend of the Seeker (a tv version of one of my favourite book series) and the hero is just….well, you look….
David Duchovny in Californication. HOT.
David Duchovny. Californication. HOT.
Hands down for me is Patrick (Matthew Le Nevez) from Offspring. Even though I was shattered when Patrick died on the show, I thoroughly enjoyed my FB newsfeed being clogged up with Matthew Le Nevez photos after that episode aired and all my lady friends were grieving. No complaints AT ALL.
LOVE Jon Snow. I started to read the books and I just had to stop. So glad they made him older in the show.
