Not that I like objectifying men, but here goes with a meme stolen from Little Miss Awkward, in which we list our top ten men who make us feel hot and flustered. And any excuse to browse gorgeous photos on the web.
1. It has to be Sam West. I have met this man countless times and have never managed not to say something stupid. I think everything about him is simply breathtaking. Especially his hair. He is also the best Hamlet I’ve ever seen, and his voice is luscious.
2. Now this man’s writing is pure poetry, and he knows just how to deliver a song. Ooh delicious, M Vincent Delerm.
3. Adrian Lester won my heart in A Midsummer Night’s Dream in Stratford years ago, and I loved him in Hustle too. His performance as Bobby in Sondheim’s Company is just wonderfully sung.
4. Now I know he’s old enough to be my grandfather, but his work makes him immortal in my eyes. Placido Domingo is one incredible man. I am currently just one handshake away from him.
5. In the Bertie Wooster days with the curly hair and the fantastic suits, Mr Hugh Laurie really really does it for me! And now he remains just lovely…
6. Jude Law as Bosie. Just as Bosie.
7. This man’s sexiness just cannot be understated. The way he understood the female mind and the female body is evident in his writing for the voice. Mozart, ti amo.
8. I don’t think there is nothing wrong with liking a fawn. It was as Mr Tumnus that I first noticed Mr James McAvoy. (He looks distressingly like the concert pianist ex whilst he is dressed as a fawn, to the extent that my friends were phoning me and asking if I had seen the movie!)
9. Maxim Vengerov is an incredibly gifted musician, an enigmatic performer, and an altruistic, hard-working, beautiful person. And gorgeous!
10. Further to comments by John, I’ve decided on number ten. Johnny Depp really does scale the dizzy heights of beauty, even as the Demon Barber!
