It's true. I've been falling for the handsome {and sometimes unlikely} heroes of books, tv and film for a long, long time. Here are a few who've stolen my heart over the years.
One of my first fictional loves was Gilbert Blythe from Anne of Green Gables. He was lovely in the books {it always baffled me, how Anne took years to realize she was in love with him!}, and completely dreamy in the miniseries. I think all good Canadian girls had a thing for Gilbert.
Oh, Mr Darcy! So proud. So prejudiced. And played to perfection by Colin Firth.
Do you remember Northern Exposure? It was my favourite show in the early 90s. Sure, the main character was New Yorker Joel, but the man I loved in Cicely, Alaska, was radio DJ "Chris in the Morning" {played by the adorable John Corbett}.
Who knew how much I'd love Doctor Who? Alan convinced me to give the BBC sci-fi hit a go, and I quickly fell in love with David Tennant and his portrayal of the Tenth Doctor. He's just so fun, and joyous, and clever. And he looks super-cute in his pin-striped suit and Converse sneakers. I wept when he left the show.
Finally... my Sawyer. You know how much I love him! LOST will always be my favourite show, and James "Sawyer" Ford will always be my TV boyfriend. Those dimples! That southern accent! Those abs! Sigh... Con-man, bookworm, lovable rogue, hero. He is my "constant." {and Alan is oh-so-jealous!}
Who are the fictional characters you've fallen in love with?
I've never watched Doctor Who?, but other than that you and I have the same fictional loves! I have very few friends who watched Northern Exposure, but that was when I first fell in love with John Corbett. And Gil...sigh. :-)
ReplyDeleteI have loved Gilbert Blythe for...most of my life. Isn't he such a stud? It just made my heart all fluttery just thinking about him! And the same for Colin Firth. I recently saw The King's Speech....and I was reminded that I will continue to love that man until the day I die. <3 <3 <3
ReplyDeleteNow you've got me all swoony, and it's barely 7am!!
For some reason when I was a kid I fell in love with Rhoda, an American sit com character of the same name. I thought she was funny.
ReplyDeleteI'm always a fan of Jim from The Office, Jack from Lost, and McDreamy from Grey's Anatomy. Oh, and McSteamy. Hehe...
ReplyDeleteColin Firth in everything he does. Joseph-Gordon Levitt'c character ("tom") in 500 Days of Summer, Matt Damon in The Bourne series. Sigh.
ReplyDeletei LOVED northern exposure!! i used to watch it all the time, and john corbett was definitely one of my favs. i also had a crush on his character aidan, from sex and the city, and his character max, from united states of tara. that guy certainly has a way of picking quality roles! i also agree with lauryn about jim from the office, so dreamy! and i would add ned from pushing daisies (lee pace). tee hee! this was so fun!
ReplyDeleteps - nope, i didn't come up with the lost joke, i just found it and thought i had to send it to you. i'm glad you liked it! :)
Northern Exposure - Love it soooooooo much and miss it sooooooo much! Especially Chris!Brings back memories! I hope all is going good and you are in fine form for tomorrow - I will be thinking about you - look forward to talking soon and seeing you in a month!! Love and Hugs Kelly

ReplyDeletei think these kind of crushes are fun, esp for us married girls ;) my sister is crushin HARD for matt damon! she's on a damon film frenzy and last night i told them (her and my momma) to watch "good will hunting"-- my momma is in love now too! LOL
celebs are who we crush hard on ;)
Oh, there were so many. I'm definitely with you on the Doctor. I once even fell for a cartoon character, but I was young and foolish then. I've also always had a bit of a thing for Daniel Jackson from Stargate SG-1. I'm a huge dork...
ReplyDeleteOh totally, Jim from The Office! I love how he loves Pam. And he's so funny, the way he taunts Dwight. Love.
ReplyDeletei had a huge crush on gilbert blythe. it drove me nuts that it took forever to discover her feelings for him.
ReplyDeletei was a gilbert fan for the longest time. then there was ryan gosling's character from the notebook. DREAMY!
ReplyDeleteThis is so me! I fall in love with every fictional character I read about. I think Gilbert was my first though. Have you read Outlander? Swoon!
