Hot Guys in Doublets: Tom LeFroy

This is not our normal "Sharp Dressed Man" video. Since I can NEVER get enough of that video you can see it at the bottom of the post. 

This video is to Alanis Morrisettes Uninvited. Not a normal choice for a period piece but it works better than a lot of the other ones that I saw. Plus, the guy I want to talk about isn't in "Sharp Dressed Man"


Who saw Tom Lefroy?

Played by the handsome James McAvoy

in the Better-Than-I-Thought-It-Was-Going-To-Be Becoming Jane
(I'm just a bit of a purist and nervous about them messing with a real person like that)

He was adorable in some of his other roles as well

But it's really all about the doublet, right?



Have you guys seen Becoming Jane? What did you think?
What do you think of James McAvoy?

I have some ideas for the next installment of Hot Guys in Doublets but I'd LOVE to hear about what you guys would like to see. Who are some of your favorites?

And like promised here is the video:

  1. I haven't seen Becoming Jane (must get round to it) but I've been lusting after the wonderful James McAvoy for years :-)

  2. I haven't seen Becoming Jane yet. I've heard so many mixed reviews that I keep putting it off. James McAvoy is fantastic though :) Thanks for all the pics!!

  4. He is a cute one. I almost didn't see him at first because I was still so captivated with the Colonel (aka Alan Rickman).

    I've seen McAvoy in all the movies you listed though there were a few films I didn't recognize in the first video.

    Nice post. Thanks.

  5. You know Becoming Jane is awesome when you can watch it multiple times even given how it ends :( Poor Jane. I love McAvoy doublet or not!

  6. You found my weak spot. James McAvoy! Oh my goodness. He's so sexy!

  7. *Sigh* so dreamy :) Definitely can't get enough of him.

  8. Loved "Becoming Jane". I worried that it would be a downer since I knew the love story had to end badly. Still watched and enjoyed it.

  9. He became one of my faves after seeing Penelope. And he still is!

  10. I'll have to make sure I watch "Becoming Jane" soon!

    I also nominated you as a pick for an award! http://alynzasmith.blogspot.com/2011/09/award-time-again.html

  11. I haven't seen Becoming Jane, even though I would really like to. I like McEvoy, but don't necessarily swoon over him (of course the doublet does help.) I thought that YouTube video was great and a fun contrast for that song. AND... I totally dig Mr. Darcy :) Oooh Baby!

  12. Hey there fellow Fantasy writer. I'm happy to meet you. I just found you on the Campaign and am following you. BTW: There's enough elegantly dressed guys on this page to make me go yummy. Nicely done. :)

  13. I think he is so sexy! I liked Becoming Jane. I never noticed he was in Narnia! I really did love him in Penelope too!

  14. LOVED McAvoy.

    I went into becoming Jane totally prepared to hate it. It was SO much fun, even though I knew it wouldn't end well. But the ending had purpose. GOOD purpose, so I loved it :D Oh, and mcavoy was SO yummy. And I kind of loved that, too.

  15. I loved James McAvoy in Penelope! That kiss at the end? SWOON! :D I haven't seen Becoming Jane. I've heard it's sad and keep putting off watching it...

  16. Gah, James McAvoy! Wasn't he superb in Penelope? I used to fall asleep to that movie (I fall asleep to TV) because it gave me nice dreams. :D

  17. That video was AWESOME!!! Did you make it? I love, LOVED it!

    I did see BECOMING JANE, which is weird, because I'm extremely particular about period films and am not a Jane Austen fan, really. (I know! Don't shoot me!) And I thought James was stunning in it. Loved him.

    HOWEVER, I am a fan of a sharp-dressed man! And a man in a doublet? Yum. (Though I saw Crazy Stupid Love last night and it gave these doubletted men a run for their money!)

  18. I WISH I made this video. I wish I made these movies! I went to school with Jerusha Hess and I envy her being able to make Austenland. She's awesome.

    So Crazy, Stupid, Love...when you say 'it' do you mean Gossling? Just say it. You're in love with Young Hercules. (Who wasn't? isn't?) It ain't exactly a doublet but The Notebook was a period drama... he might make a Hot Guys in Doublets one day.

  20. I found your blog in a rather convoluted way but having read this article about the delicious James McAvoy (who I just blogged about on Friday) I can tell we are going to get on :) Mr McAvoy is right up there in pole position as 'BEST KISSER IN THE KNOWN UNIVERSE'....I get all hot and sweaty just thinking about it!

  21. James McAvoy = HOT!

    Must see Becoming Jane...

  22. I loved Becoming Jane. But I want to know what movie is the second clip from on the video? It's of a guy wiping some dirt off of a girl's face.

  25. Now I'm going to have to see Becoming Jane! Haven't yet. I'm so behind the times!

    ReplyDelete
  26. thank you for that! now i have to watch more period films, i haven't seen some of those clips.
    and James Mcevoy - more please! haha I can never get enough of him. I first discovered my love for him in "Atonement" and "The Last King of Scotland". Now looking online I find out he's in "Gnomeo and Juliet", I'll appreciate it even more next time my kids watch it.

  27. I love James McAvoy.

    I saw Becoming Jane in theaters and really ended up enjoying it.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I LOVED Becoming Jane and it was all because of McAvoy as Tom LeFroy. I can watch that movie over and over.
