Yes, yes, oh god yes. However, bear in mind I saw him last as Dionysus--having said that, though, I have found him attractive in the past too, though maybe quite not so overwhelmingly so.

[pickwick.livejournal.com]

Well, I say "yes yes oh god yes" too, and I haven't seen the Bacchae. I bet it's sold out in Glasgow. Hmm.

I was drooling at his forearms in the Herald article today...

You'll be wanting to see the photos here, then. They're really good pastiches, nicely done!

I hope it's not a joke, the scent itself sounds really gorgeous:
“There is a bit of smoke, a bit of whiskey, a bit of leather, and lots of dirt and moss. If all that sounds very heavy and overtly masculine, it isn’t. It is a calm, earthy scent, very low-key and relaxed. Over the next hour or so it loses much of the whiskey and leather, and the rubber disappears entirely. It stays very earthy and evolves into a subtle, sexy, your-skin-but-better fragrance. Eventually it is very smooth and soft, and there is something that smells wonderful but that I don’t recognize. The white truffle?”
I could be well happy with a boy who smells like that on his next birthday... : )

[x] I don't think so, but I can see how to someone of a different sexual orientation to me he might be.

[surliminal.livejournal.com]

I think that's the point. I was arguing that he is attractive as sexually transgressive: so he appeals primarily to gay men,and to some extent to worried straight men and bi/lesbian women; but not, on the whole, to straight women.

[drdoug.livejournal.com]

Another data point for you: I'm a bi bloke and don't find him remotely sexy. His name is good comedy, though, especially in this sort of joke. At least, I hope it's a joke - I can't imagine cosmetic products that I want to buy less.

[surliminal.livejournal.com]

We thought that was real, at least last night!! but that proves well not much :->

[autopope.livejournal.com]

You forgot a ticky-box for "who he?"

[matgb]

I googled. I looked at Wikipedia and IMDB. And I still want a "who he" box.

[dreema.livejournal.com]

I just know him as Boris 'I am Invincible' from the bond movie Goldeneye

But he also played nightcrawler in xmen 2

[matgb]

See, I can just about possibly recall the character of Boris; I think I shot him a few times in the game, but that's about it; I have an awful visual memory anyway. Not seen X2 either.

So I'll stick with my not ticking either box vote methinks.

@Andrew: Why?

[laserboy.livejournal.com]

Andy'll have seen him in The Bacchae playing Dionysos. He was fairly impressive in the role.

[andrewducker]

Argument at a party, in which someone was claiming that no heterosexual women found him attractive.

He was also in Titus, which is one of my favourite Shakespeare adaptations ever.

[pusscat.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm straight and I think he's sexy, but I do have a thing for androgynous men.

[pickwick.livejournal.com]

You mean you haven't seen The High Life?! Actually, it might not have been shown in England. Most of it's on YouTube - it's one of my favourite comedy series ever.

[pickwick.livejournal.com]

Also, he won a Tony award for playing the Emcee in Cabaret on Broadway very sexily!

[laserboy.livejournal.com]

The High Life was great! "Oh dearie me!" :-D

[pickwick.livejournal.com]

I was checking if it was on YouTube and watched the title sequence, and now I'm trying not to dance around the room...

[matgb]

I haven't seen many many things, I went televisionfree ages ago—just watch DVDs for the most part—although certain shows get excepted if I'm visiting people...

I don't actually have the ideologe TV is evil stance, naturally, I just can't be arsed to buy a new box.

[pickwick.livejournal.com]

The High Life was on about 1994 :D But I don't think it's very famous outside Scotland. I might try and upload it when I get back to the flat.

[surliminal.livejournal.com]

You see - v v few straight non bi females in that list (saying yes) - maybe only pickwick, and I have no idea if she straight or bi...

[pickwick.livejournal.com]

Mostly straight. With a tendency to be attracted to gay men, unfortunately.

[0olong.livejournal.com]

I make that at least three pretty-much-straight women, if you cound pickwick. How many straight women actually read this thing, anyway?!

[pennski.livejournal.com]

Here's another straight woman who's interested...

[chuma.livejournal.com]

I'm from the midlands btw. so no. It was (in)famous to those who liked Reeves and Mortimer at the same era.

[dreema.livejournal.com]

same here. we have a set (two actually now) but they're only used for console games and dvds, so no licence required. From what I've seen of tv when i've been round at my parents, it's all pish anyway

[chuma.livejournal.com]

You mean you haven't seen The High Life?!

"Oh deary meeeeee!"

[0olong.livejournal.com]

It was definitely on in England for a little while, but I'm not sure if they made it past the first couple of episodes - I don't remember seeing more than that at the time, though I've enjoyed it very much since.

[moniqueleigh]

Hmmm, I need a button for "sometimes yes, mostly not." Occasionally, he's quite the lovely gent, but mostly he's just a rather odd-looking fellow (though quite talented, & I'd love to pick his brain on a few acting points).

[draconid.livejournal.com]

I'd like to add that while I don't consider him *physically* sexy, I love his voice and what I've seen of his personality. Plus I love quirky looking guys. If I were in the situation where it were possible I'd definitely date him. But I put "sexy" and "would date" in two very separate boxes (for example, I'd consider Tom Cruise sexy but wouldn't touch him with a barge pole).

[ashfae.livejournal.com]

In photos, no. In motion, oh god yes.

[aliiis.livejournal.com]

For the record, I'm a bi not fussed lass, but I don't think I particularly go for androgynous blokes (or, for that matter, masculine girls! Ew!) and I can kind of see where Cumming is not kick-out-of-bed-able, but he doesn't do strange things to me like, say, Will Self or Monica Bellucci. Or Naveen Andrews, who was the hottest thing in television last time I looked (that'd be the first series of Lost, so a wee while ago). The hottest actor in general is Guy Pearce. The hottest slightly weedy-looking boy-next-door-ish long-faced actor is Edward Norton.

imhooooo.
