Heartthrobs You Don't Get

[Wenton]

Whatever it is that Ryan Gosling supposedly "has", I don't get it.

He's not physically intimidating, and has no indicators that he's sexual at all.

That's the truth. Those are some of the unsexiest, unappealing pictures I've ever seen. Neither one of them seems to have a clue as to what goes where...

He looks like a bassett hound to me. He's my Ann Veal. Anytime someone goes on about how amazing looking he is, I'm always like "Him?" I've never seen The Notebook, and it probably wouldn't help regardless. I've seen him in other movies--comedies and dramas, and he's a decent actor, just not "Hot" or "Sexy".

Tom Hiddleston. There, I said it.

I saw King Kong with him and Brie Larson (bless her heart for getting a giant payday). There were a couple of scenes with him alone, more like poses, I actually left the theatre thinking, "Do some actors get it put in their contract that the cinematographer must try to make them look like a god at least once or twice?"

ETA: I must say, I certainly didn't think he looked like at all like a god, just that he was obviously posing, and it got me wondering why.

Bless you, for getting through Kong. I tried watching on a plane but had to quit. It didn't look like it was made in the 70s, and the plot was stupid as hell. I will never unsee I <3 TS. (And I saw him in London last year, and dude did not look happy at all. If looks could kill, I would have been annihilated.)

Totally do not get Tom Hiddleston

Then I don’t get Daniel Craig either at all, might be because I first knew him in the brilliant BBC Drama Our Friends in the North, which also had Chris Eccleston (My Doctor) and Mark Strong ( lots of stuff I can’t remember only Kingsmen Is popping into my head at this late hour)

I've seen The Notebook (hated it) and I don't get it either. The library memes are funny, though.

I think it's Gosling's personality that makes him attractive to people. He's funny, he's self-deprecating, he's just a nice Canadian boy. Because, yes, he does resemble a basset hound.

I think Hiddleston is an asshole who tried to ride a TaySwift ~romance to bigger roles. Total dick move.

Benedict Cumberbatch. ‘Nuff said.

I don't get the Gosling heart throb thing, either. But his deadpan funny just kills me. He was in a movie a few years ago with Russell Crowe, The Nice Guys, and I couldn't stop laughing at him. I'm still surprised that movie didn't make gobs of money, it's 93% at Rotten Tomatoes. I would have gone to a sequel.
