Discovery Channel’s Dirty Jobs host Mike Rowe.  The man travels around the country doing the most disgusting jobs you can imagine - sewer inspector, roadkill remover, pigeon s**t cleaner, etc, etc.  He’ll be on the show covered in I don’t even want to know what, and all I can think is, man, I want to get dirty with him! 

I think his biggest appeal is his sense of humor, and the wonderful way he treats the people he works with.  And when he has to strip off his shirt for a job you won’t find me complaining......

I’m with you, Connie, and we’re definitely on the same page.  Rickman in DIE HARD, yum.  Laurie in SENSE AND SENSIBILITY, my gosh, his well-chosen, but rare, comments made me swoon.  I wondered, Hmmm, man of few words, but deep, deep well.  Let me dive in!

I think Bill Pullman is hot, whether it’s in WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING or the president in INDEPENDENCE DAY.  That husky voice and those eyes definitely does it for me.

Beth, I gotta agree...Mike Rowe does have a certain appeal to him, doesn’t he?

My addition to the secret lust list has to be Arnold Vosloo. In The mummy, he played someone who was evil, pure evil. Swarms of flies spewed forth out of his decaying mouth, and yet, there was something about him that sent shivers down my spine and yes, in a GOOD way.

That’s about all I can think of this early in the morning.

Toodle-ooo...HAGD all~~

hmm...I’m attracted to all kinds of what I like to call “dorky-cute” guys...Like Adam Sandler...or the Napolean Dynamite guy...but not in that role...I also think that the kid that plays Ron Weasly kind of a hottie too.

I too found myself horrifyingly attracted to Hugh Laurie!  My god, it’s not like he’s even THAT good looking.  I think it’s those peircing dreamy eyes!  YUM!

My sister and I argue over this one:  Dermot Mulroney!  She doesn’t think he’s hot but man...his voice and that FACE! I watch “The Wedding Date” over and over again just to watch that scene where he stoops Debra Messing over the car!

One that comes quickly to mind is Mel Gibson in PAYBACK. The movie was written like many romances I’ve read, except he’s a bad guy. As his character Porter said, “You’d think after five months of lying on my back, I would have given up any idea of getting even, just be a nice guy and call it a day. Nice guys are fine: you have to have somebody to take advantage of… but they always finish last.”

We did a poll on one of my loops one time about sexy men and the ONE consistent name that made all of the loops was Alan Rickman!  (Adored him in TRULY, MADLY, DEEPLY and still find him strangely appealing as Snape in HARRY POTTER.)

The most fun thing about these guys is that other men totally don’t “get” it, which means they don’t always understand what women want.

Val Kilmer.  I loved him in The Saint and The Doors movies.

Funny guys?  Will Ferrell.  There’s something appealing about a guy who’s willing to be that goofy!

I don’t know what his name is but I think the guy that drives the Cash Cab on the Discover channel is so cute and funny.  And you’ve got to admire his ability to manuver through New York City traffic at the same time as hosting a TV game show.

Ha Ha! That pix of Rowan Atkinson is priceless!
-Bono from U2, hey short Irish guys?
-Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails
-The Arab guy from the “Mummy” movies w/the tatoos under his eyes..
-Love love Alan Rickman
-Jeremy Irons, don’t know why, maybe the voice.
-God, I don’t know why here, either but Jack Black..he’s a nut, maybe?

Yeah...I do find myself weirdly attracted to funny guys:  Jim Carrey, David Spade (Ugh!), Jimmy Fallon, Chris Kattan, etc.  It’s horrible!  Theresa...sometimes I don’t get MYSELF, much less my poor husband!

Beth, you got it in one with Mike Rowe. He’s the only reason that show is so good, but I love it so much! And yes, Dermot Mulroney is HOT! I watched that scene multiple times too. 

Pamela, have you seen Bill Pullman in The Virginian?  WOW! 

How about Robert Carlyle.  He was great in the Full Monty and though he doesn’t have red hair he was an adorable Hamish Macbeth.  Maybe it’s the Scottish accent!

Oded Fehr is my unexpected heartthrob.  He’s the guy dressed in black in The Mummy movies who helps Brenden Fraser.  What a hunka hunka!

I’ve got a thing for Mike Rowe and Alan Rickman too.

Anthony LaPaglia, whether he be Jack Malone “Without a Trace” or Simon Moon (Daphne’s drunk brother) “Frazier”.  I just love his expressive face.

Obviously enough, I have to agree with you on the Hugh Laurie front. Don’t know why, I wasn’t even that into him in the Blackadder series, but as House! Whooo!

It’s not even his scraggly face, just...something.

Tony Shalhoub anybody? As Adrian Monk, you just want to pat him (which would make him very unhappy indeed) and coo. Please tell me it’s not just me. Please.
Hey my word verification is once99. Dude, that’s old.

Hugh Laurie all the way. I don’t know what it is about him, but he is just down right yummy!

I first noticed Alan Rickman in “Galaxy Quest.” I could listen to his voice all night long.
And how about James Spader in Boston Legal? I’ll take a guy with a cutting wit over any guy with six-pack abs and no brain. And he always seems to leave the hot babes on the show well satisfied.

Jeff Goldblum and Bill Pullman (both were in Independence Day)

Bill Paxton (Twister)

I thought Val Kilmer was at his sexiest in Tombstone.

MBanerji, I like Monk too....

Vincent D’onofrio from Law & Order: CI

I have to agree with the host of Cash Cab on Discovery Channel; he is definitely cute.

MBanerji...Shahrukh?!

Ditto to David Spade, brownone!  I just can’t resist that snarky sense of humor.  And ya gotta love a guy who looks like him but has the chutzpah to dump Heather Locklear!

Hugh Laurie most DEFINATELY.  The scruffy beard does that man GOOD.

My most random Object du Lust would have to be ... Zac Hanson.  Yes, the drummer of Hanson, who is now 21 (no longer jailbait!) and married, and who would be absolutely perfect in a Bowflex commericial.

http://s2.supload.com/image.php?get=44l0jm1-20061024083309.jpg The muscles are sadly masked by his jacket, but trust me; they’re there.

The guy who plays Danny on CSI:NY.  He’s got that sexy, kinda nerdy vibe with an accent that could seduce the pants right off ya.

Definitely Alan Rickman and Jeremy Irons but also Curtis Stone from Take Home Chef… I would be more than willing to take him home any day (plus, added bonus: he can cook)! 

(giggles)......  I find Ed Harris and William Peterson (’CSI’ very attractive.  Also Timothy Olyphant (Seth Bullock from ‘Deadwood’.  Hugh Laurie.......oh my goodness.

It’s not what they show or say or do......it’s the wonder of what they are capable of showing, saying or doing.....(giggles).

g

If we are talking about guys from CSI I have to go w/ Greg from Vegas, not sure what it is about him but he is good looking to me.  On a side note for some reason when I go to type my verification word it takes me at least 3 tries to get the spacing right.  Is it just me?

Alan Rickman, most definitely...and it was when he was in Robin Hood (which I adored as a movie...but it came out when I was 16...so why wouldn’t I think that was wonderful?).  I adored him in Sense & Sensiblity though.  “Give me an occupation, or I shall go mad...”

And I do love Rowan Aktinson when he’s the Elizabethan and the 17/1800s version of Blackadder.  As the other versions of Blackadder...no.  *LOL* I don’t understand my attraction to him...but hey...who’s surprised?

Will Ferrell.  I just think he’d be a riot to be with...and there is something appealling about him.  Even when he’s in his tighty whities...screaming about Tom Cruise.

Jeff Goldblum.  Independence Day.  When they survive and land--and he’s walking across the desert.  OMG.  That is the sexiest walk I’ve ever seen!  He was rather sexy in Jurassic Park too.

Rickman is one of those I classify under weird sexy.  Loved him in Robin Hood.  Plus I like many of those already mentioned, especially Oded Fehr

Jason Issacs from The Patroit and plays Malfoy sr in the Harry Potter movies is another one for me.

Yet another is Alex Carter.  He used to appear fairly regularly as Det. Vartann on CSI and did a couple of episodes of JAG which is where I first sat up and took notice of him. He was playing a Navy SEAL. *drool*
There’s a picture of him on his IMDB page -

http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0141450/

Hope that link works. *crosses fingers*

oooooh Connie! Can I admit I think Alec is super-hot in 30 Rock, too? And what’s with that show in general--it’s hilarious! Saturday Night Live was NEVER that good. (At least in my lifetime...)

I love Hugh Laurie!!!! Also Phil from the Amazing Race..Anderson Cooper from The Mole (and now CNN).

I love the CSI guys as well...Danny from NY being a fave as well as Nick from LV.

Okay, I have to agree with Hugh Laurie, Jeremy Irons, Jeff Goldblum, and the bad guy on the MUmmie (Cinthia!--anther thing in common).  Also, I love Alec Baldwin in 30 rock, though I never liked him before. 

I dig Anthony Bourdain, Sacha Baron Cohen, Wayne Rogers from his M*A*S*H days, Gene Hackman, John Goodman, Orsen Wells as Mr. Rochester, and John Lithgow because in an interview he made me scream about an old lady who got mad at him for singing.

I think David Letterman is cute but he’d be too complicated for longterm.

Oooh, and Kevin Kline.  I love Kevin Kline

I’ve got a sick desire for Tyler Florence!  Shh.....don’t tell!

Bad guy in The Mummy was Arnold Vosloo.  Funny you mentioned him J Perry.  He was in a very short lived tv series called Veritas: the Quest with Alex Carter. Double yummm in one show.

I love HOUSE and that is certainly a scrumpdillicious pic of Hugh Laurie you found there, Constance.

Oh, Gene Hackman, how could I forget Gene Hackman??

And yes to Bill Pullman, too. Did anyone see AS YOU WERE SLEEPING? He was so ...do.

Oh, I remember another unexpected heatthrob…

Does anyone else have a thing for “spooky Grandpa” John on LOST?

I do!

Someone should try to guess some of Teresa’s heartthrobs. Seriously weird.

As my avatar will give it away....I love Daragh O’Malley from the Sharpe movies.  Man oh man....what a hunk and that accent.  *sigh* I must have a thing for Irish men because I think Brendan Gleeson is just adorable also. 

I, too, happen to like Alan Rickman.  I especially liked him in Sense & Sensibility, but love him as Snape in the HP movies.  I never saw Robin Hood, but might just to watch him. 

As for Hugh Laurie, I noticed him first in the live action movie 101 Dalmations as Jasper.  He cracked me up!!  and his side kick Mark Williams as Horace, who now plays Mr. Weasley in the HP movies. 

--dorothy

I loved Bill Pullman in the “Sleeping” movie.  He was the perfect non-studly yet sexy hero!

I also have to mention Colin Firth, especially in Pride and Prejudice (sigh).  Also Hugh Grant in Notting Hill, Sense and Sensibility, etc.

I could go on...the list is endless.

Not usually my type. Not alpha. Not big and strong. But the husband on the TV Show MEDIUM melts me every time. I’m pretty sure it’s the character he plays, but whatever it is, I love that man.

am i the only one who thinks that Alan Rickmans voice is horrid? it makes my skin crawl! 

i love Owen Wilson...my best friend thinks i’m insane :D

and i, too, sometimes find Adam Sandler attractive

yeah im sure i’ve got some unconventionals in my obsession, but for the most part i like my pretty (looking) boys

Hi Squawkers and Squawkettes

Hmmm, I’m right there with you all on Alan Rickman - he so totally stole the show in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. I still quote the ‘cut your heart out with a spoon line’. And I love Hugh Laurie.

I have two more to add. I’m not sure how many of you know the UK show Top Gear, but I’m a huge fan of Richard Hammond (yes, the presenter who had the big car accident a couple of months ago). He’s very cute

Also, Alan Alda as Captain Benjamin Franklin Pierce (Hawkeye). There was just something about him. I used to love MASH as a child (still do now) and used to say I was going to marry Hawkeye when I was old enough!

Have a lovely weekend all (it’s Friday here now

orannia

I don’t think enough people have seen Black Books but Dylan Moran is a serious hottie.  I love Bill Bailey more though.  I think it’s the eyes.  All these unconventional hotties have this knowing look in their eyes.  The one that says they’ll do things to you that pretty boys can only dream about.  And you’ll love them for it. 

I seriously lust Rowan Atkinson in Blackadder II.  Wow.  Totally bad.  But very smart.  Num.  ‘Madam, life without you was like a broken pencil.  Pointless.’ *swoon*

If you haven’t seen Alan Rickman in Robin Hood you have no idea WHY he’s so darn hot.  You only think you do. 

how about..Nathan Fillion, Adam Baldwin, James Marsters, David Duchovny, definitely Jeff Goldblum-he’s got such a great walk, and I still adore Michael Palin-another guy with great eyes.

Okay, yes I have a thing for British men..but they just seem so much..smarter than their American counterparts and I need a lot of smart in my men. 

Also, I think Weird Al is kind of...well..he’s smart and funny!  So I nominate him. 

Sid, you’re not the only one. I adore Owen Wilson.  Even over his brother, Luke, who I don’t find overly attractive...unless he’s in the right role.  But Owen!  I even love the nose…

And I can see the draw of Adam Sandler.  He was very cute in 50 First Dates. 

How about Jimmy Fallon?

Ooooh, my word is England45...I’m just excited...I love England.

I agree with you all on Alan Rickman.  He’s also one of my husband’s favorites.

The CSI guys really get my motor running.  I think William Petersen looks much better older.  Gary Dourdan with that caramel skin, gorgeous eyes and gorgeous body is just yummy.  And George Eads is Captain America.  Wholesome-apple pie-marry him type.  And Paul Guilfoyle (Brass) looks quite cuddly.  Eric Szmanda’s still a bit boyish for my taste.

I have to agree with you Stacey.  I love Michael Palin and he’s only gotten better looking with age. 

Dylan McDermott anybody?  I love those eyes!!

Oh, Jason Isaacs in The Patriot (bad movie)- that scene where he’s shaving by the creek in flowing shirt and tight breeches? whoa…

And I lovelovelove Joseph Fiennes, esp as Shakespeare.  Holy smokes, he’s cute- and smart- and quoting poetry-and- and-

*passes out*

Caroline,
Have you see Killing Her Softly with Fiennes? You see a whole lot of him naked, and man is it a vision? He’s another secret heartthrob for me.

I third (fourth? whatev) Adam Sandler, solely because of “Spanglish.” It’s not a comedy at all, and his character is a great husband in a realistic, there-are-real-guys-out-there-like-this kind of way. Despite his wife being obnoxious, he was always sweet and understanding and calm until ...

*Spoiler*
she cheated on him. He was just so hurt, it killed me. He cried, I cried. It was a cry-fest.

A lot of mine have already gotten a nod, but I forgot to mention --

virtually every single carpenter and most of the designers on HGTV’s design shows, and some on TLC’s, too. Come to my house! Make it prettier with your skills and your very presence!

Dorthy,

I like Daragh O’Malley too. Always said if they killed off his character in the Sharpe series, I would quit watching. They had me worried a couple of times.

Chele,

They had me worried in Sharpe a couple of times also.  I started watching the series because of Sean Bean, but Daragh O’Malley soon won me over.  *sigh*

want28 was my submit word....that about sums up my feelings...LOL

there is nothing embarrasing about lusting after Alan Rickman! saw him in Dogma as an somewhat untraditional archangel.. there is something intriguing with those wings..

also agree qith you blackadder-fans. and Baldrick is cute in his own unique way…

also i loved the.. whatshisname..in the movie where he is roommate or something to hugh grant and julia roberts plays a famous actress, and Grant has a bookshop. well, the roommate puts on the most ridiculous items of clothing..

and tom holland? as the curate in the new P&P.. (blushing) (dead39, not the nicest code word exactly)

Dorthy,
I started watching the Sharpe series for the same reason....Sean Bean!  *fans self* I just happened to catch an episode on BBC America one Saturday night and was glued to the tv every Saturday night after that until they ran their course. I’ve even toyed with the idea of trying some of the books, but not sure they would hold the same appeal as watch Sean and Daragh on screen. 

LOVE Hugh Laurie--I think it’s the eyes, or maybe his snarky attitude on House.

Alan Rickman is fabulous and his voice definitely does it for me .  Must agree with some of the other men mentioned:  Will Farrell (gotta love someone who can make you laugh), Joseph Fiennes (amazing bedroom eyes) and Sean Bean (I love the Sharpe series, but I even love him when he plays the baddie).

I also found Jeff Goldblum sexy in Jurassic Park.

Okay Teresa, don’t hold back on us. You have to share at least one of your ‘weird heartthrobs’. We won’t laugh too hard…

My unexpected heartthrob would be Patrick Stewart, aka Captain Jean Luc Picard.  Bald heads usually turn me off, but not his. 

Yeah, I second what blueskies says....

DISH, Teresa!

I agree, Teresa, DISH.  Who are some of your heart throbs?!?

And Chele--I got the Sharpe series from Netflix and watched all of them, then found out about the two-parter set in India that was the finale of the BBC run.  Even years later and a little older, Daragh O’Malley was still drool worthy!  And yes, Sean Bean was just as good looking as always.  I loved him in the LOTR movies. 

Speaking of the LOTR movies......Karl Urban is another guy that is hot.  A little young for me, but I’d be willing. 

--dorothy

Love Alan Rickman especially in Robin Hood
Hugh Laurie, all the CSI guys, William Petersen, and David Caruso (sp?) love his voice.
Jeff Goldblum, does anyone remember him in The Fly with Gena Davis? He was hot! Obviously before he turned into the fly. 
Gene Hackman, whenever he plays the bad guy, The Quick and the Dead, The Firm…

Since she won’t squeal on herself I’ll tell on her..

TERESA LUSTS AFTER DR. PHIL!!!

I know. Ew. Right?

brownone...YES to Shahrukh!

HE GETS NAKED??? Thank you thank you thank you, Heather; I am renting Killing Me Softly tonight!

Joseph Fiennes is my not-so-secret crush.

But if it were Dr. Phil, well, Connie, wouldn’t YOU keep that a secret? No offense, Teresa…

Oooh, thank goodness someone else mentioned David Caruso. Also, Hugh Laurie as House. *sigh*

Ed Harris is a definite.  I love his shiny head and ever so sparkly eyes.  I’ve had a crush on him since that Sally Field movie!  The Abyss just sealed him as “my bestest non heart throb.” He can eat crackers in my bed anytime. 

I don’t see anything wrong with lusting after Dr. Phil - he doesn’t exactly float my boat, but I can see his appeal. Don’t be ashamed, Teresa!

Another unexpected heartthrob for me is Alton Brown from Good Eats.  He’s so a-dork-able!  I also have a serious crush on Fox News’ Shepard Smith.

I haven’t seen him in anything for a long long while, but I used to think Matt Frewer of Max Headroom fame was pretty nice looking in a geeky kind of way.  But then I’ve always been able to see ‘attractive’ in guys going bald and with over-bites!!

BTW my verification word is ‘eyes84’!  Maybe it’s telling me that I need my eyes checked ‘cause I’m seeing things with the eyes of a 84 year old…

I really have a crush on Alan Rickman..the way he is in Harry Potter, Love Actually and Sense and Sensibility.

I LOVE Alec Baldwin, and while I do still find him attractive physically--chunkiness and all--it’s his voice that really does it for me.  It’s definitely on my short list of best all time voices.

The voice factor also works with Josh Groban.  He looks slightly dorky, but his voice just makes him sooo attractive.

I’d also add Keith Olberman (countdown on MSNBC), and Stephen Colbert to the list--maybe it’s a desk and glasses thing.

MBanerji and brownone!  Yay for Shahrukh Khan!  Even with that horrid mustache in Paheli. 

Also Hirtik Roshan, that man can gyrate like no other. 

And I’m also for the Alan Rickman camp.  Love him as Snape.  For a mean, spiteful, greasy guy he was hot! Oh and that voice.

Caroline - Lots of booty shots and his body never looked better.

I also have a wierd, almost criminal crush on Daniel Radcliffe (ack!) - the long haired version of him in the later HP movies. I stop and stare and my daughters posters all the time. I think because he pulls me back to childhood crushes - or at least, that’s what I’m telling myself.

Dr. Phil?  No. 

Teresa, what have you got to say for yourself?  I mean I truly don’t have anything against his looks and his common sense approach to things, but his farm analogies might get old after awhile.

Anjelica…
Agreed on Hrithik!  I think it’s Shahrukh’s acting that gets us because he is not THAT good looking.

James Blunt anyone??!

Oooh, I knew I was forgetting someone.

Hector Elizondo - There’s just something about him.  He has a certain charisma. - He has played in several movies “The Princess Diaries”, “Pretty Woman”, “Runaway Bride”, “Raising Helen”

And I’ll 2nd Ed Harris!

Susie Q2, I love your little pumpkin picture.

Aaaw thanks!  That’s my baby sis’s attempt at being the next Anne Geddis (sp?) and the little darlin’ in the pumpkin is a little darlin’ close to my heart that I am trying to spoil rotten!

Brownone and Angelica,
Agree about Shahrukh, that guy pretty much achieved megastar status with that odd brand of charm he wields.
For the mystified, we’re talking Indian cinema

MBanerji....I think it’s those expressive eyes! He’s DEFINATELY not cute!

Jeff goldbloom...... what can I say? i loved his whole brainy, I-saved-the-world-just-for-you attitude in ‘Independance Day’.

PS- who thinks of these code words and numbers? They are getting more and more lurid, lol.

brownone - I think you’re right about the eyes. He has that puppy dog look about him.  With his humor and charms he makes one tempting package. 

People should check him out in the movie Devdas(but make sure you have LOTS of tissue) and in Main Hoon Naa.

I want to add another to my list of unexpected heartthrobs...Jim Carrey as Count Olaf.  I think it’s the clothes.

Oded Fehr, most definately! God, he was so sexy in the Mummy!

And Hugh Laurie, yes. I must agree on him as well. ^_^

the guy that played Bernard in The Santa Clause with Tim Allen.

.....ok, what about that guy from ER who now plays the barowner on ‘Men in Trees’? I cant remember his name, but he is adorable! I suppose that david conrad from ghost whisperer isn’t exactly and unexpected heartthrob.......but he is absolutely yummy and i couldn’t help but bring him up! If you google-image him you would understand!

Yes!!  Yes!!  Yes!! to everyone mentioned here!! 

I know I’m late to the posting and no one will ever see this but....

Stanley Tucci DOES IT for me!

oh and the geeky guy from ‘Criminal Minds’.  They gave him a hair cut this season and it works!

Also....Anthony LaPaglia since, well, forever!

Don’t you think Gary Sinise is the cutest in thing CSI NY. I just love him.

Also Anthony LaPaglia…
