Photo Friday~ That's Amore

You may have heard of love at first sight.

But have you ever experienced love at first...

brood?

smirk?

smile?

silhouette?

cell phone call?

gun grip?

I know I have. :)

tyme_4_t said...: YES to all!
But Harry Kennedy was my first intro to RA...so he had me at Smile & stripey sweater! Then he put on glasses and I was a goner!; November 12, 2010 at 5:23 AM
diveknit said...: They are all great, but Thornton, he had me with his imposing demeanor and brooding stare :); November 12, 2010 at 6:16 AM
BETH said...: Mr.Thornton definitely! Besos; November 12, 2010 at 10:02 AM
Violet8886 said...: Thornton and Harry are up there...Thornton is brooding..His stare is indeed intoxicating...Harry is more Happy go lucky..joking around..relaxed...That's attractive too...; November 12, 2010 at 10:21 AM

Violet8886 said...: I love Guy's smirk...That is very very sexy...:); November 12, 2010 at 3:34 PM
pi said...: He had me at "hello".

(Okay, all he had to do is show up).

Sigh...

So, yeah, it was almost love at first sight (in my case it was Harry's smile....plonk!) I can't wait to see RA smile again- it's been a while. I wish he could bottle it. Do I sound too fangirly?

Actually it was his yell in N&S that made me sit up and pay attention. I noticed him, really noticed him, then. I admired the yell, admired the actor with such a great yell. Swooon. His yells are so primal, I melt. Do I need a therapist? ;)

With JP, not the gun grip though that is cool. It was his motion. Fluid movements that suggest power without being a hulk. I'll stop now.

Stop it, Nat! I'm meeeelting. ;); November 12, 2010 at 9:04 PM
flandersdreamer said...: Brood grip, definitively!
Masterful, sexy and devilishly handsome ... mmm!!!; November 13, 2010 at 7:05 AM
Myrtle said...: Mr Thornton for me, though I adore Harry too, and as for Lucas.......; November 13, 2010 at 8:23 AM
Violet8886 said...: Lucas is hot because he is vulnerable...He has a little boy in him...He's not just macho man...I think there is a little boy or sweet vulnerability to all the roles Richard takes on...Even John Porter has that boyish charm...:); November 13, 2010 at 12:13 PM
Teuchter said...: I'm with those who find it almost impossible to choose - but - Thornton as we first see him in his mill!! Just WOW!!! I think I gasped at THAT first sight and it still has the same effect each time I see it and have lost count just how often that has been. :); November 13, 2010 at 4:22 PM
twinkling moon said...: Well, I fell for him when I first saw John, standing tall, over looking his mill, and then that yell *thud* he had me then, oh boy did he have me *wink*

But I have to say I agree with Violet8886, it's his vulnerability combined with masculinty that gets me every time :) I think Guy has that trait in spades! (Well, ok, I admit I'm a bit partial to Guy :)) But I do think the masculinity/vulnerability balance must some how be a reflection of something in RA himself because it seems to transcend into pretty much every role I've seen him in.

Looking forward to seeing how he pulls it off as a dwarf. Hey, maybe for some it will be "love at first dwarf?" Does that even make any sense, LOL!; November 13, 2010 at 7:00 PM
Avalon said...: Adorable...even with his gun.; November 14, 2010 at 8:47 PM
Fanny/iz4blue said...: He had me at brood but I was lost when he opened his mouth. I've always been a sucker for guys with accents, regardless of the language.

Someone elsewhere pointed out imagining Thorin with a deep voice (I got that already from the audiobook) BUT added northern accent!!
Why didn't I think of that??
So soon I might be lost over a .. Dwarf??!!

Oh, I am hoping for some Guy smirks, sneers and snivels!!; November 16, 2010 at 4:28 AM
