Imaginary Boyfriends

Sort by: Showing 49 items
Average listal rating (554 ratings) 8.2  
1. Jensen Ackles
My Supernatural boyfriend. Update one year later: Jensen still tops the list as the most fetching specimen of manhood. I did find out that he is married to the extremely fortunate Danneel Harris Ackles. Congrats!

2. Joel McHale
My Snarky Boyfriend. I think he's awesome on The Soup, but seeing him on Community was a revelation. As in - Joel reveals a lot of torso on that show. (Even if he didn't, Community is the best sitcom on TV today. Watch it!)

3. Paul Rudd
My Clueless boyfriend. He seems really funny and down to earth, and this picture doesn't hurt a bit. Though I would need him to pick up his own drawers.

Average listal rating (196 ratings) 6.7  
4. Ioan Gruffudd
My Welsh boyfriend. I find him incredibly endearing, even in so-so movies like 101 Dalmations. I hate him using an American accent though; his natural speech is beautiful. See "Solomon and Gaenor" if you can!
Edited to add: And watch "Ringer" if you can...he's awesome in it. Sarah Michelle Gellar is the lucky girl who gets to play his love interest.

5. Tom Welling
My Super Boyfriend. Having seen him with my own eyes, I can confirm that he is this good looking in person. I love "Smallville," but he is a much better actor when he doesn't have to super-mope around Kansas. He has a fantastic smile and can really act when the script gives him something interesting to do.

6. Colin Firth
My Quintessential-Darcy Boyfriend. Yep, he's a great actor and has done some amazing work in a lot of films that don't involve swimming in a pond in a see-through shirt. But I probably wouldn't even know about them if he hadn't done "Pride and Prejudice" first. And that would be a loss.

7. James McAvoy
My Shameless Boyfriend. I adored him on that show, and in anything else where he uses his natural accent.
cal331's rating:

Average listal rating (545 ratings) 7.9  
8. Ian Somerhalder
My Obligatory Vampire Boyfriend. Not since Angel have I felt anything towards the whole bloodsucker genre, but that thing that Damon does with his eyes has me in front of "The Vampire Diaries" every Thursday night.
cal331's rating:

Average listal rating (80 ratings) 7.7  
9. Richard Armitage
My Handsomest-Man-on-Earth Boyfriend. OMG, is he good-looking. He made the mostly-mediocre "Robin Hood" must-see TV, he made us swoon in "North and South," and he made us believe any girl's dreams could come true in "The Vicar of Dibley." I'd love to report how he improves "Spooks," but no US channel will show the later seasons of that series. At any rate, this is one to die for.

10. Matt Dallas
My Jailbait Boyfriend. Too young for me by far, but so adorable, with or without a bellybutton.
cal331's rating:

Average listal rating (1 ratings) 10  
11. Brian Vander Ark
My Singer/Songwriter Boyfriend. One of the few Imaginary BFs that I have actually met. BVA is a very talented singer, and he has a few movies under his belt, too. He's a nice guy to boot - see him in concert if he's in your area. You might just fall a little in love yourself.
cal331's rating:

Average listal rating (1 ratings) 10  
12. Kevin Griffin
My Better Than Anything Boyfriend. I got the singer of my favorite band on this list. He's tall, has startling blue eyes and curly dark hair (a great combo) and is a fantastic singer and showman. I got to shake his hand and couldn't stop smiling for days. Love him, love his music, just love!

13. Glenn Tilbrook
My main Squeeze boyfriend. His voice is transcendant, and he's pretty cute, too.

cal331's rating:

Average listal rating (109 ratings) 7.6  
14. Eddie Vedder
My Live on Two Legs Boyfriend. Commanding and intense, he prowls the stage and growls like an animal. Hot!
cal331's rating:

Average listal rating (128 ratings) 7.6  
15. Jon Stewart
My Daily Boyfriend. I like Jon for getting angry with the political/media machine on my behalf, and for making me able to laugh while he does it.
cal331's rating:

Average listal rating (115 ratings) 7.9  
16. Stephen Colbert
My All-American Boyfriend. You can't have Jon without Stephen! Colbert, in character or out, is one of the smartest guys on TV today. He's also funny, which is a very sexy combination.

Average listal rating (500 ratings) 7.5  
17. Rowan Atkinson
My Witty Boyfriend. I know, I know, Rowan Atkinson. Mr. Bean, for god's sake. But as the supremely clever Blackadder, with this goatee and his dark curls...well, he's really sexy. To me, at any rate. He's also one of the funniest damn men ever, and that's hot.

Average listal rating (288 ratings) 8.1  
18. David Tennant
My Doctor Boyfriend. "So you want me to jump into a strange blue box and run away with you, having adventures across time and space? HELL YES!!!!!"
cal331's rating:

My Backup Doctor Boyfriend. Can't hurt to have two. Actually, I've admired Eccleston's serious, immersive performances for some time.
cal331's rating:

Average listal rating (42 ratings) 7.3  
20. John Simm
My Master Boyfriend. Even as the Doctor's ultimate frenemy, he managed to bring a glimmer of humanity amid all the maniacal destructiveness. He also absolutely shines in "Life on Mars" as the humane, by-the-books, serious copper trapped back in time in a place where such traits are not at all admired. He's not traditionally handsome, but has something in him that really works for me.
cal331's rating:

Average listal rating (111 ratings) 7.4  
21. Matthew Macfadyen
My Spy Boyfriend. I confess, I may have been more in love with the serious, smart super-spy Tom Quinn on Spooks/MI-5 than with Matthew Macfadyen. However, it was Matthew's marvelous performance in "Almost Strangers" that first got my attention, so perhaps it is him after all. ("Almost Strangers" is a terrific movie - do watch it if you can.)

22. Josh Holloway
My Desert-Isle Boyfriend #1. Jack who?


Postscript: when Josh turned up on the 'Community' season finale as a paintball cowboy, I literally screamed in delight. Get this man a new TV show, stat.
cal331's rating:

Average listal rating (130 ratings) 6.6  
23. Daniel Dae Kim
My Desert-Isle Boyfriend #2. (It pays to pack a few extra.) Somehow in possession of a Soloflex machine on that crazy island, Kim's character Jin seemingly got better-looking every day. Also of note is a great acting job, as his character got progressively more sympathetic, going from an over-protective husband to a sweet, funny, all-around wonderful guy over the seasons. When Jin died, I lost it. Man.
cal331's rating:

Average listal rating (154 ratings) 6.9  
24. Naveen Andrews
My Desert Isle Boyfriend #3. Wow, "Lost" had quite a delicious buffet of actors on that island. But it was Naveen's role in "The English Patient" that really caught my attention; he was the best part of that movie to me.
cal331's rating:

Average listal rating (115 ratings) 6.7  
25. Chiwetel Ejiofor
My Dirty Pretty Boyfriend. I really love Chiwetel. I even learned to spell his name without having to look it up. He was especially good in "Kinky Boots" and "Talk to Me."
cal331's rating:

Average listal rating (34 ratings) 7  
26. Vincent Perez
My Multi-Lingual Boyfriend. He speaks a half dozen languages or so, and he won my heart in "Queen Margot."

cal331's rating:

Average listal rating (124 ratings) 6.9  
27. Eddie Izzard
My Executive Transvestite Boyfriend. I don't care if he is wearing heels, I could listen to him speak French (even if it's about monkeys sur le branche) all day long.
cal331's rating:

Average listal rating (21 ratings) 6.3  
28. Tyron Leitso
My Wonder-ful Boyfriend. Not so much for his work in 'Being Erica,' though he was the adorable object of desire in that show. But in 'Wonderfalls,' he was the soulful, puppy dog-eyed sweetheart that finally got the girl. It really shouldn't have been that hard for someone like him.
cal331's rating:

Average listal rating (124 ratings) 7.3  
29. Damian Lewis
My Ginger Boyfriend. I normally don't do this, but I actually like him best playing the American Charlie Crews in "Life." Not to suggest that he wasn't amazing in his other work, but he did some outstanding acting in "Life," a show I loved. Updated: Thanks to Damian, I started watching the excellent "Homeland." His performance in that show is MASTERFUL.
cal331's rating:

Average listal rating (76 ratings) 6.2  
30. Dave Foley
My Straight Man boyfriend. Dave is best when he's the calm center in the midst of madness. See his work on NewsRadio, or as the unlucky blind date in the Chicken Lady sketch on Kids in the Hall. That was some brilliant work. Also, the man can rock a dress.

31. John Cusack
My Say Anything Boyfriend. The thinking girl's dream guy. Smart, sad, sensitive and sexy. Will hold up a boombox, looking like an idiot, to win your love. Yes, please.
cal331's rating:

Average listal rating (50 ratings) 6.2  
32. Julian Sands
My Makes-Me-Swoon Boyfriend. I know he's inhabited some creepy roles since he was in one of my fave period romances, but watch the scene in "A Room with a View" where George sweeps Lucy into her arms and plants a kiss on her and see if you don't get the vapors, too.
cal331's rating:

Average listal rating (363 ratings) 8.4  
33. Cary Grant
My American Movie Classic Boyfriend. My favorite of his movies is "Notorious," where his scenes with Ingrid Bergman are really, really, hot, especially considering it came out in like, 1946. He's funny, roguish, acrobatic and dashing - the perfect gentleman, with a lot of heart under the tie and collared shirt.
cal331's rating:

Average listal rating (521 ratings) 7.5  
34. Bill Nighy
My Inappropriately Old Boyfriend. I just think he's kind of awesome, even if he is my dad's age.
cal331's rating:

Average listal rating (103 ratings) 7.4  
35. Andrew Lincoln
My Zombie Apocalypse Boyfriend. If it's the end of the world, there are worse things you could do with your time than shacking up with Andrew Lincoln.
cal331's rating:

Average listal rating (35 ratings) 6.9  
36. Jeffrey Donovan
My Total Badass Boyfriend. To be with him, I'd have to be able to kick as much ass as he can, and that's okay. I love the way he can rock a collared shirt, and even how much he likes yogurt. Only a real man would admit to that.
cal331's rating:

Average listal rating (63 ratings) 6.4  
37. Kyle Chandler
My Unassuming Charm Boyfriend. Kyle doesn't bludgeon you over the head with his adorable good looks. It just kind of sneaks up on you.
cal331's rating:

Average listal rating (46 ratings) 6.7  
38. Chris Pratt
My Bright Boyfriend. He was utterly adorable on Everwood.
cal331's rating:

Average listal rating (6 ratings) 5.8  
39. Michael A. Goorjian
My 'Party' Boyfriend. I will never forgive Julia for not choosing Michael Goorjian's Justin over stupid Griffin, played by stupid Jeremy London. What a dummy.
cal331's rating:

Average listal rating (5 ratings) 7.8  
40. Joel Hodgson
My MSTie Boyfriend. Daydreaming that I could have been a character on 'Mystery Science Theatre 3000.' Joel's inventiveness and sleepy geniality would make watching those horrible movies worthwhile. Plus I could play with the bots.
cal331's rating:

Average listal rating (7 ratings) 8.6  
41. Michael J. Nelson
My Satellite of Love Boyfriend. After Joel left via the Deus Ex Machina, I would need some more companionship and help with Tom Servo and Crow. Obviously, Mike is the perfect choice.
cal331's rating:

Average listal rating (65 ratings) 6.7  
42. Adam Scott
My Cater-Waiter boyfriend. Sadly, I never really got into "Parks and Recreation" where he can be seen now, but I was totally in love with his character from "Party Down." Lucky, stupid Casey.
cal331's rating:

Average listal rating (30 ratings) 6.1  
43. Seth Gabel
My Altverse Boyfriend. Oh, my gosh, I've such a crush on him. On Fringe, he plays two different versions of the same character and they are both adorable. I smile like crazy whenever he's on screen.
cal331's rating:

Average listal rating (218 ratings) 7.9  
44. Nathan Fillion
My Tightpants Boyfriend. I love him as Castle, loved him on "Firefly," even watched him on "Two Guys and a Girl," but my crush truly began when he was Joey on "One Life to Live" in the way back time.
cal331's rating:

Average listal rating (135 ratings) 7.1  
45. Adam Baldwin
My Armed and Dangerous Boyfriend. Whether taking out Russian spies on "Chuck" or on the "Serenity" wiping out baddies with his beloved Vera, Baldwin is totally hot. If you need me, I'll be in my bunk.
cal331's rating:

Average listal rating (56 ratings) 7.1  
46. Justin Hartley
My Straight Arrow Boyfriend. The worst part of any episode of "Smallville" was when Ollie put his shirt back on. Did you hear the CW is looking at a new show about the Green Arrow, but that it might NOT star Hartley? Big mistake. Huge.
cal331's rating:

Average listal rating (53 ratings) 7.2  
47. Christopher Gorham
My Broad-Shouldered Boyfriend. Seriously, have you seen this guy with no shirt on? Tiny waist, broad shoulders, nice everything in between. I also love the characters he plays; he's just so adorably humble in shows like "Popular," "Ugly Betty" and "Covert Affairs."
cal331's rating:

Average listal rating (200 ratings) 7.2  
48. Penn Badgley
My Do-Over Boyfriend. As in, the show he starred in when he first caught my eye at the age of 15. (His age, not mine.) As in, it would be sweet if I woke up tomorrow to find myself back in my early 20s so I'd be his age and not feel creepy about lusting for him.
cal331's rating:

Average listal rating (194 ratings) 8.3  
49. Benedict Cumberbatch
My Supersleuth Boyfriend. I don't think I would ever feel as smart as him, but I don't think I'd ever care.
cal331's rating:



Consider this the list of my imaginary or TV boyfriends. They are funny, smart, maybe can sing, are tall (usually) and may have dark, curly hair, a goatee and/or a Tardis. I am pretty sure that these guys are my 'free pass' men, you know, the ones you could temporarily forget your husband for.

I tried to include the reasons they are special to me. It's not always looks. But you know, some of them are just..well, yummy. I'm only human.

OMG! I totally forgot Chris Pratt was on Everwood! Blasphemy! Wow I was going to do a list like this but you already have like almost everyone I would put. And who cares if Bill Nighy is old?! He's very attractive. ^_^

I kind of wish I had started watching Parks & Rec for Chris Pratt, but I didn't find out he was in it till the 2nd season. (I hate picking up series in the middle.) But I think it was really Bright I had a big ol' crush on.

Posted: 1 year, 4 months ago at Jan 6 12:40
I was going to remark on one or two of your choices, but as I read through them, I realized I was agreeing with A LOT of them!!

Kudos for mentioning Better Than Ezra, one of the most underrated bands ever. I love them!!
Posted: 1 year, 4 months ago at Jan 21 17:55
CK, I love BTE too! They're in my top three favorite bands, and Kevin Griffin is terribly handsome in person - I got to stand directly in front of him during a concert.

ahh Paul Rudd and James MacAvoy ;)
