Five Men I Would Not, As The Saying Goes, Kick Out Of Bed

Independent of the character(s) they play and what they're supposedly like in RL, my current top five are:


1. Robert Sean Leonard



'Twas House M.D. what done it. I'd seen Dead Poets Society years earlier, but it took me looking up the guy who played the doctor with the tie on IMDB to remind me it was the same person. On him, it's the face, mostly -- the eyes, the nose, the cheekbones, the hair, and yes, the eyebrows. The glasses. The forearms. The way he's always primly dressed and a little repressed. And the occasional glimpse of tie and belt converging at trim midsection (less so now, sadly).



2. Thomas Kretschmann

      (bonus photo)

SIZZLING. HOT. I think he is objectively the hottest person I've ever had a celebrity crush on. He is sex on screen -- those eyes, the sometimes facial hair, the way he moves, and then there's the voice. Anyone who says the German language isn't sexy needs to listen to Thomas for a few minutes. I still melt into a puddle every time he pronounces "Slivovitz" in Immortel. Oh, and the movie that put him on my radar was not The Pianist but rather the awful Dean Koontz's Frankenstein TV adaptation.



3. Alexander Siddig



One episode of Deep Space Nine and I was in love. That was, what, 1993? And he's looking better every year. Exotic looks, English accent, tall and lithe, warm eyes and an infectious smile.



4. Sebastian Roché



Stole my heart—or something—when I saw a promo photo for the short-lived TV series Roar. His long hair and clear blue eyes, fine profile and vague accent (born in France, educated in England) have kept me coming back to anything he appears in, from cameos in 15 Minutes (as a hairdresser) and Household Saints (as Jesus) to a ton of horrible and more horrible sci-fi/fantasy adaptations.



5. David Hallberg

     

A ballet dancer whose name you'll be familiar with if you hang out here. He's absolutely beautiful on stage, eminently graceful and poised, and not so bad up close either. He's also the youngest man I've ever drooled over. Younger than me, even. synn and I first saw him in a production of Swan Lake, where he mesmerized and delighted us in his role as the evil sorcerer Von Rothbart. We thought he was maybe 40, and thought we had the wrong name when we looked him up later and learned he was 21.


(So hard to pick just five! Runners-up included Gary Oldman, Ralph Fiennes, Vincent Perez, Hugo Weaving, '80s/'90s James Spader, James Marsters, Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, Gabriel Byrne, Alan Rickman, David Bowie, David Hewlett, Joe Flanigan...)



Five Girls I Would Go Gay For

Or maybe that's "Five Girls I'd Like To Be." Hard to tell the difference sometimes. Also, apparently I like my women young. Well, my age.


1. Anna Paquin



First, first, what did I first see her in... The Piano, I think it was, in which she was adorable and graceful and a little creepy. It was her stint as Rogue in X-Men that sealed the deal. Those bow lips, mm. Random fact: We were born two days apart.



2. Natalie Portman



In The Professional, and ever afterwards. Yeah, she was 12 then, but you know what? So was I.



3. Alyson Hannigan

     

She will always be Willow to me. The only redhead in today's procession. She's just so cute. And occasionally a minx.



4. Winona Ryder



Such big eyes and wonderful bone structure in her face. The short hair really brings it out. I think the movie that did it for me was Little Women, although she had a long wig for most of that. Edward Scissorhands? Mermaids? Dracula? Anything where she has lots of mascara works for me.



5. Katie Holmes



I dunno, she's pretty. Crazy, maybe, but we're discounting personality here.


Tag, you're it! (if you want to play): synn, elynittria, moonlash_cc, theninth, daasgrrl

lol, I was going to title my comment "I'm so shallow"
and then I realized you'd put shallow in your title.
Ah, well. I love these things, I can't help it. I try not to spam my flist, but I do find them entertaining.

I am the type of person who enjoys playing what "if..." at parties. *sighs* so you'll get my answer, though it might not be tonight.

[bironic.livejournal.com]

Thought you might like something fun to do, anyway. I look forward to pretty pictures and your remarks.

linky-linky.

We have similar taste in women. I've had the biggest crush on Natalie Portman since "The Professional" too. Only I was older than twelve at the time. I still feel a little dirty about that.

[theninth.livejournal.com]

And replying to myself....

Mine's here (http://theninth.livejournal.com/202269.html).

[bironic.livejournal.com]

To be fair, she was portrayed as a very mature 12. And came on to Jean Reno, who was far older than both of us.

[elynittria.livejournal.com]

Reading your list of male also-rans, I kept nodding my head in agreement. I think I find them even sexier than your top five (except, of course, for RSL).

I've never seen Thomas Kretschmann in anything but The Pianist, but he was definitely sexy in that (and in these photos!). I had to laugh about your "slivovitz" comment, though. What was a vampire doing drinking slivovitz? (Assuming that Immortel is about a vampire, of course.)

[bironic.livejournal.com]

I think I find them even sexier than your top five

I think I do, too, for some of them (not all) (see also icon). This meme was hard -- to choose five from among many, and to decide what the rules were for choosing. I went for the five celebrities I'd be most personally satisfied to have pretend-bedded, because of my attraction to them and our long-term relationships :). Those are the five who best define me right now, I think.

Hee - TK wasn't a vampire in Immortel, despite the title. It was rather a bizarre graphic-novel adaptation by the author himself, about a man who wakes from cryogenic freeze in a future dystopic Earth where an ancient Egyptian alien thing is trying to impregnate a blue woman, starring two actual people and the rest was CGI, both characters and environment. It didn't make perfect sense and the dialogue was terrible, but it was certainly memorable, the world he built was very interesting, TK was fantastically pretty, and there was slash and threesome stuff. I... don't exactly recommend it, but it's definitely, as I said, memorable. Oh, and the slivovice thing was he was in a bar offering a variety of drinks to the aforementioned blue woman. Sooooo sexy - he gave it a German twist, and just, yeah.

[purridot.livejournal.com]

You have flawless aesthetic taste ;-) But I think I would just stop at #1, as I'm no good at multi-tasking...

[bironic.livejournal.com]

*g* Anything's possible in theoryland. Thanks for the thumbs-up!

[qween-tartii.livejournal.com]

Oh man...the slivovitz moment in "Immortel"? Hell yes. But not quite as panty puddling as "Are you ready for this voyage, Miss Darrow?" in KK. Siiighhhhhh.

How she could even acknowledge that there was somebody on the boat called Jack Driscoll after that astounds me o_O

P.S. I'd go gay for Anna Paquin too.

[bironic.livejournal.com]

Annnnnaaaa.

Jack Driscoll, Schnack Driscoll. Oh well -- let Nicole have him and we'll split the captain. Or you can have the captain and I'll take Nikopol and we can just switch off every now and then. :D

[qween-tartii.livejournal.com]

Eva Green remains my top girl crush. I'd go gay for her and then some.

Maybe we organise a schedule for Englehorn and Nikopol. Engy, I think, is the best for brute physicality. But Nikopol clearly has the more dextrous tongue....

[bironic.livejournal.com]

Hee. Engelhorn/Nikopol slash?

I still haven't seen Eva Green in anything, I don't think. And sometimes I confuse her with Eva Longoria (ditto) because of the name. *hangs head in shame*

[daasgrrl.livejournal.com]

Umm... the male 2 and 3 are EXACTLY THE SAME PERSON, aren't they? As are girl 1 and 2. LOL. Just kidding - I was thinking about 'types' and how I definitely had them. So it was all about me, as usual *g*

One of your also-rans would top my list. If I were to do a girly list, Winona Ryder would make it onto mine. I think this would be more in a 'like to be' sense though, as per your comment.

[bironic.livejournal.com]

Hee - I think Siddig and Kretschmann only look alike because of their poses in those pictures I chose. One's much more gangly and the other rugged, in general. But Anna and Natalie, um, yes, they're very similar. I didn't realize how much of a type I had for girl celebrities till I put them all together like that.

Is it a mystery which of the runners-up would have made your list? I wonder...

[topaz-eyes.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, Alexander Siddig is just gorgeous. And I prefer him with a beard, too. If I weren't married, I might have to fight you for him. ;-D

Although, that pic of RSL is just as yummy...

I just don't know!

[bironic.livejournal.com]

*snort* Your icon!

I really don't know either! This list was hard to come up with. There are so many theoretically-shaggable celebrities, and only five slots.

Alexander Siddig -- who, every time I type his name, I want to call Siddig el Fadil, since that's what he went by in DS9 days -- is indeed delish, no? It took a while to get used to all the hair after his clean-shaven, neatly-trimmed Starfleet getup, but now I think I like it better too. Even if it often gets him typecast.

[topaz-eyes.livejournal.com]

I remember when he went by Siddig el Fadil, and I always thought that was fine.

He was amazing in 24 this past season. Just didn't get to see enough of him.

[bironic.livejournal.com]

Oh, was he in 24? Cool; I'll have to get my hands on those eps. Thomas Kretschmann was in an earlier season too, some guy on a yacht with a cell phone masterminding something or other. I did see Siddig's one-ep gig on MI-5/Spooks, which was just fantastic; he played an... Algerian? refugee-turned-spy for amnesty in England.

[elynittria.livejournal.com]

Now I recognize Siddig. He was awesome in that MI-5 episode.

BTW, I do intend to do this meme. I'm still trying to trim down the list to five and put them in some kind of order, which is proving rather difficult.

[bironic.livejournal.com]

It's hard, right? Well, don't put too much effort into it -- it's only 5 among many. :) Looking forward to seeing whom you choose.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Mmmm. Love your list of men - several I hadn't seen before. Like that Robert guy, where would I have seen him before?

[bironic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I dunno, he's been in some stuff.

I just saw it this morning! And will reply.
