Men That Make Me Hot
So, this is a list of gorgeous men that make me go all dreamy. You will notice that they are all fictional characters from film or TV. Why? Because these men are damn near perfect and if I look at men in the real world, there aren’t any perfect ones. I would write a list of real men that make me hot, but that would be an extremely – EXTREMELY – short list, with just about no names on it…
- Horatio from CSI Miami – Now let me make this clear, it’s not David Caruso that makes me weak at the knees. It is Horatio, his alter ego. Miaow and soooo delicious are all I can say. Horatio is gorgeous, chivalrous, and a wonderful man. He is personable, fearless, polite, utterly dependable and he could rescue me any day of the flipping week. Horatio became irresistable to me in whatever season it was that it was obvious he was in love with Yelina, who was his supposedly dead brother’s wife. He loved her, she was hot for him too but as much as it tortured him he wouldn’t go any further because whether he was alive or dead, Yelina would always be his brother’s wife. Horatio will always be a man of my dreams.
- Lt Templeton “Faceman” Peck – Again, I don’t mean Dirk Benedict, I mean his alter ego, Face from The A Team. Face was a ruthless ladies’ man, who always said what they wanted to hear, he was utterly not the type of man a feminist would go for, but he walked the walk, talked the talk and he was and still is – my first love.
- Bradley from Eastenders – awww he’s just lovely! Socially awkward, lovely guy who doesn’t seem to know how gorgeous he is.
- Jack Traven from Speed – not Keanu Reeves but his character in Speed. I would huddle with him on a runaway subway train anyday. I think I fell for him when I saw that ‘look’ that he kept giving Annie. When he realised he didn’t have the key to the handcuffs, when he couldn’t seem to function properly when the mad bomber had Annie and had strapped the bomb to her, and when he looked at her as he was going to go under the bus. And finally when he and Annie declared at the end that because they’d heard that relationships based on intense situations never last, that they’d have to base their relationship on sex instead. I was 15 when I first watched Speed. Hmmm… dreamy.
- Edward Lewis in Pretty Woman – Edward is a straight laced guy, never loses control, and only has one fear – heights. He acts totally out of character by inviting Vivian to stay with him. When he sees his best friend hurting Vivian he punches him which is wildly out of character. When Vivian is in her apartment on the top floor, he climbs the fire escape – even though he is terrified of heights - to get to her.
- Mark Darcy in Bridget Jones – Any lover of literature will know that any man with the surname Darcy has alot to live up to. Thoroughly nice to the core, he loved Bridget. Just the way she was.
- Ike Graham in Runaway Bride – OK, so this film is not the best, but I can totally relate to Maggie right now. She was going to marry these different men without ever knowing who she really was, so she got cold feet and ran. Maggie was surrounded by friends who cared for her, and Ike was a relative stranger and an asshole, but he was the only one that noticed that Maggie moulded herself into what she thought her husband to be wanted. He encouraged her to find out how she liked her eggs in the morning and that little thing turned out to be very important. He noticed the little things.
- Patrick Verona in 10 Things I Hate About You – I love this film because it is based on The Taming Of The Shrew, and has lots of little references to Shakespeare which I understand. So OK, Patrick was paid to take Kat out – but he fell in love with her and he bought her a Fender Strat with the money in the end. The real part that made me fall for Patrick was his face when he realised that Kat’s poem, her very own rendition of my very favourite Sonnet 141 was about him. It was his face and the way he was obviously hurt when she got upset and ran out in tears. Heath Ledger went on to star in much more successful movies than this one, and now he has died. For me, although I haven’t seen the Dark Knight yet, I suspect that my favourite film with him in it will always be 10 Things.
