It seems like I’ve got something in common with all of the other ladies who’ve written a review about sexy actors, keeping the list down to only ten is incredibly hard, but I think I’ve finally done it.

- Jude Law
There’s just something about Jude Law that I can’t quite put my finger on (well, all of him, if you take that comment literally). Obviously he’s one of the beautiful people, a talented actor, much sought after (and not just for his acting ability) always got a beautiful lady on his arm, etc. Still, behind all of that charm there’s something just a bit mean about him, something about the set of his jaw or a certain coldness in his eyes that just makes me think he’s a bit of a bad guy underneath. Still, he’s certainly hawt, and to be honest probably should’ve made it higher than bottom place on my final list.

- David Boreanez
The pretty boy with the big fangs from Buffy is now all grown up and perfectly formed. He’s in a really good series at the moment called Bones, and I make sure I watch it every week to lust aft… I mean, because it’s so excellent. Actually, it really is excellent, but so is Mr Boreanez. He’s matured from the good-looking youngster who, lets be honest, looked just a little unfinished. Nowadays he’s carrying the confidence and just a tiny bit of arrogance that shows that he’s all growed up and knows it. Rawr!

- David Duchovny
I’ve always held a little candle for Mr Duchovny since I first saw him in the X files, even though he always wore those damn suits and acted like he had a pencil constantly clenched in between his cheeks. But occasionally in the X files you’d get to see him in ordinary clothes, or sometimes a little less, and those rare glimpses definitely caught my interest. Then the X files finished and I relished seeing more of Dave in Evolution. I’ve always had a bit of a thing about really dark hair with pale skin, probably spent too much time around Goths as a teenager, but David’s a perfect example of exactly what I like. Now Californication means I can see even more of him than ever. Bliss.

- Robbie Coltrane
Of course I’m serious. I know he’s a bit older nowadays and not a classic Adonis, but I’ve been a little bit in love with Mr C since the Cracker days. Cracker was all man with none of the rough edges knocked off, and I liked him an awful lot. Since then, everything I’ve seen Robbie in has just made me like him more, well, apart from the Harry Potter films, can’t say Hagrid did much for me. He’s got huge amounts of charisma, beautiful eyes and he’s another one that I reckon could be a bit of a ruffian, given half the chance. Why do women always go for the bad boys, anyway?

- Daniel Craig
The new James Bond really is too hot to handle. He’s far more than just a bit of rough, he’s rougher than a… erm… well… a very, very rough thing, that’s what. Before Casino Royale was released I remember my husband telling me that the new Bond was going to be blonde, I was mildly disappointed as I’d always imagined Bond to have my preferred raven hair. Black hair always looks so damn good with a dinner jacket. But within seconds of setting eyes on Mr Craig his hair colour was forgotten, this is a man who could drink my martini any day of the week, shaken or stirred.

- Ewan McGregor
Not only is Ewan McGregor absolutely blooming gorgeous, but he’s a family man too, the perfect package. I fell in love with him in Shallow Grave, first time I’d ever seen him, but it was when he played Renton in Trainspotting that I really went head over heals for him. I don’t know if it was my mothering instinct kicking in or if it’s just the same old ‘good girl attracted to bad boy’ thing again, but now that I’m hooked on Ewan nothings going to drag me away again. I’m currently watching the Long Way Down every week for my McGregor fix, but no, I’m going to resist the urge to make jokes like ‘he could ride me the long way down any day’. Oops.

- Jonny Lee Miller
Another one from Trainspotting, this time it’s Sick Boy who caught my fancy. The character he plays in this film is somewhat sick, hence the moniker, but I’d actually seen him before in the pretty appalling Hackers against Angelina Jolie when he played the good guy, and even that didn’t put me off. Unfortunately, he’s now beginning to lose his hair, and although I generally find that doesn’t affect my attraction to a guy at all (think Bruce Willis, yum!) with Jonny Lee I’m finding my flame is on the wane. He’s got a bit of an oddly shaped head, you see, where that gorgeous shock of hair used to be he’s now got an incredibly high forehead, and without the hair to balance out his face, his chin seems to stick out. I really wish he’d just take the plunge and get what hair he has left shaved off rather than staying in this semi-bald limbo, it’s doing him no favours. So for old times sake Jonny Lee still gets my number 4 spot, but he used to be number one.

- James McAvoy
This is quite a new crush for me, but it’s hit hard. There’s just something about James’ eyes that I find absolutely captivating. Of course, he’s also got my favourite dark hair and pale skin, but those eyes are definitely his best feature. Maybe it’s because they’re so very, very blue and that’s pretty rare in a dark haired person. Or maybe it’s because he’s an adept at the unblinking stare, but whatever it is, I hope he doesn’t stop doing it. He also has an incredibly sweet smile that makes him look almost boyish. I’ve got the feeling he’s going to be one of those lucky guys that just gets better with age, too.

Keanu Reeves
Another of those men who just gets better with age, and probably the man I’ve lusted after the longest on this list, with the possible exception of Robbie Coltrane. Keanu, or Canoe, as my husband has always called him is, once again, the perfect example of black hair and pale skin that I keep going for, and until I wrote this list I didn’t even realise that I had a ‘type’. With Keanu, whilst the acting isn’t always perfect, he’s got the vacant stare down pat. He originally caught my eye in Bill and Ted, but I think he was at his best around the time of Speed, though obviously he looked pretty darn special in the Matrix too. Personally I like to see him with a bit of a floppy fringe, though shorter hair suits him well too. I don’t even mind the beard. He’s looking damn fine for a man who’s already seen his 40th birthday, and long may he continue to do so.

- Kris Marshall
Or you may know him better as Nick Harper from My Family. No? Well how about the guy from the latest BT ads, the tall strawberry blonde one? Strangely for me my number one sexeh actor at the moment is not pale and raven-haired at all, but ginger. If you’ve ever seen him in My Family then you’ll know that he’s a very, very funny guy, and humour goes a long way in attracting me. But this isn’t a poll for my top ten nicest actors, you want to know why I find this person attractive, and I’m going to tell you. Not only is he tall with broad shoulders, my absolute favourite feature in a man, but he’s got a damn fine body too – if I had to sum up the one thing that makes Kris stand out from every other man on TV at the moment, it would be his killer smile. It just makes me go week at the knees. It’s a knowing smile, but also warm and open, with a hint of promise around the edges. Phew, now I’m getting all hot under the collar.

Anyway, that’s my ten, the others will just have to make do with a mention. Relegated to the second division were Sean Connery, though only just, he’s still a God. Johnny Depp, a real toughy to leave out, very nearly took Robbie’s place. Brad Pitt, nuff said. Bruce Willis, because I adore the real man-ness about him. And, if I wasn’t limited to only actors, the lovely Russell Howard. I could go on and on, but I’ll stop myself here, before I really begin to bore you.

Summary: Any one of them would do
