10 Day challenge - day 8

This is another case of attraction to the character rather than the actor...

I remember when I saw Lord of the Rings fo the first time, and being absolutely fascinated by Legolas:



My attraction to Legolas wasn't exactly physical, it was more aesthetic.  I'd honestly never seen such a beautiful, elegant male character before.  I didn't want to have sexytimes wth Legolas, I just wanted to stand him in the corner and look at him forever!  There was even a time when I thought that Legolas was a partly CG character because I didn't believe that he could possibly be fully human.

It's odd, because 'pretty' isn't normally my thing when men are concerned, but I was absolutely transfixed by Legolas from the moment he first appeared on the screen at the Council of Elrond in the Fellowship of the Ring.

However, when I first saw Orlando Bloom in his 'natural' state, I was like "yeah, he's a decent looking guy, but..."

It must be the long, blond hair and pointy ears!

I once watched one of the LOTR films on my laptop and there's a scene with a closeup of Legolas and he's only got one blue contact in, the other eye is brown. I hadn't realised until then that Orlando's eyes weren't blue!

Legolas is also badass and extremely competent....much like another pretty male character that you're rather taken with! Who is also too perfect to be human. Maybe closer to your type than you realised! :D

I also found Legolas extremely aesthetically pleasing...but like you, I just enjoyed looking at him, so this one totally resonated! :)

He is very pretty! :D

I think my crush on Legolas goes back to the books. Certainly to the Bakshi animation. There's always been something aetherial about him. But Jackson added a dash of cool. I loved his heat-seeking arrows that shot round corners :P And his physical stunts that defied physics! :D

I felt the same way about Legolas. There was just something so beautiful about the elves. And Legolas really depicted them all in their elegance, bravery, comaraderie, He really enchanted me. I was so surprised when I finally saw Orlando with his jet black hair.

I'd honestly never seen such a beautiful, elegant male character before. I didn't want to have sexytimes wth Legolas, I just wanted to stand him in the corner and look at him forever! hee hee hee, agreed! Whereas I really wanted to have sexytimes with Aragorn!

Yup I can agree with that! He's just so pretty, I think you'd be frightened to dirty him up with sexytimes LOL!
