Hot Guys in Doublets: Jonny Lee Miller


Shall we? I think we shall.




If they ever pull this video from YouTube these posts just aren't going to be the same.

Recognize this guy?




This, my friends, is Jonny Lee Miller.
The picture is from Mansfield Park (1999)
So is this one



And this one



Why do we love the silly character of Edmund?
He is riddled with faults.
He foolishly falls in love with the money grubbing Mary Crawford
He completely ignores the pining Fanny. (no jokes please)
He doesn't like theatrics and then against his better judgement joins in.
BUT
He is deeply devoted to his family.
He loves Fanny, really loves her.
He loves God and becoming a clergyman more than he loves Mary.
He sees his folly and repents of it
and if Fanny can forgive him, so can I.

Many of you probably know that this isn't the only place you can see Jonny Lee Miller in a doublet
(and in an Austen film for that matter)

He played the adorable Mr.Knightly in
the BBC's Emma (2009)


and another picture for good measure




Oh, and the scrumptious Lord Byron
in Byron (2003) (thanks Anna)


But did you know that Jonny Lee Miller was married to Angelina Jolie from ‘96-‘99?
I'm sure some of you are shaking your head and muttering "Where do you think we've been. Of course we know!"
Well for those of you who didn't...now, you do!

And we will part, until next time, with this picture.



Good-bye, Mr. Miller!
Next time I think we'll visit Mansfield Park again. Any guesses who it will be?

Hot Guy in Doublets: Mr.Churchill

And we're back
to the classic video, again.
Hurray!




How many of you have seen the 1996 A&E version of Emma?
At 1:07 and 2:16 of the video above.


The cast looking dreadfully bored. Almost like an awkward family photo.

But who wasn't taken with the sideways smilin' Frank Churchill?



He was so ding-dong charming.
(This in no way demeans the ever-hot Ewan McGregor)

That smile.

That hair.





But it didn't take too long
before I realized that
I probably was just in love with
Mr. Frank Churchill
because he reminded me
of someone else.

Any Guesses?






II don't think that we will be able to find a picture of Mark Paul Gosselaar in a doublet so we will have to happy with his British doppleganger.



Before you brush me off as a crazy who is in love with an old school, big cellphone carryin', Has-Been
have you seen this recent picture?







I know, I know.
He’s not wearing a doublet.
I digress.
But it was so worth it.


Editors blunder:
I was called out by The Former 786 that there is a period costume episode of Saved by the Bell. I knew that but hadn't been able to find a picture of it the first time I made this post and I liked the picture that I found so much better, that I went the funny (lazy) route. Because I know that my loyal readers turn to this blog for absolute factual journalism, I apologize. Will you accept this as my apology?
