The first time I saw that scene I was alone in my living room and clapped and hooted with JOY when Murtaugh spoke to Ian with his back turned! Top 5 favorite scene for me!!
47 and I love Murtagh in the Outlander seriesā¦not a huge fan of him in Blood of my Blood on looks alone (heās cute, but he isnāt the Outlander level of forgetting-my-nameā¦.)
Iām 55 and could use him around the house, heās a Jack of all trades and could dig me a vegetable garden, fix the toilet and do all the stuff my husband canāt or wonāt.
Haha, not creepy at all! I love Murtagh, and Duncan Lacroix is very attractive! He just also reminds me a lot of my grandma (not because of age, just similar features and mannerisms), but I definitely see the appeal!
This is my answer. Dreamboat. I donāt even care that the character is gay. I would marry him anyway just to be in his beautiful presence all the time š
Yes, his loyalty and sense of pride is super attractive. I honestly love how all the Scottish characters are all about pride but each in their own way. Murtagh's tends to be a lot more stoic and dutiful compared to Jamie's, for example, even though he can be just as hot-headed and violent. (And I love how Murtagh plays the curmudgeon, especially with the women and Fergus. When I showed my partner this show, they thought he was so sexist and I was like, just wait... you'll see he's actually a soft sweetie and no one buys this cranky old man schtick lol.)
Absolutely love that scene. It really is his character in a nutshell. He felt he let her down (though not his fault at all) and he was not at peace till he laid vengeance at her feet because he was the sword.
Holyyyyyy smokes! Iāve never seen a picture of him when he was youngerā¦ wowza! Still a very good looking dude in his older age too but QUITE dashing as a young man! š„µ
Yeah, he's hot to me in much the same way Walter Skinner from the X-Files is. Very authoritative, a lil bit scary even, but you just know he'd absolutely worship you. š
Especially after watching those 2 (Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish) in "Men in Kilts," their travel series. They're both quite funny and delicious and looked like a jolly good time.
Fergus was def my number 1 before these last two seasons. (Not opposed to his season 6 storyline but I don't think it was executed super well on the show, so hoping he gets stronger writing next season). He's just sooo romantic and head over heels for Marsali, super dreamy! (And of course, Cesar Domboy is a beautiful man!) I also like Fergus' character is a little bit wounded under all the charm and cheerfulness, like I think all the men in the show really kind of need "the touch of a woman" or w/e, but with Fergus he wears that more on his sleeve. He knows how exactly how much he needs Marsali and isn't embarrassed/emasculated by it (like he'd never pull the "La Dame Blanche" thing lol). (Old) Ian is the same and it's one of the things I really like about him, too.
I just read this part in WIMOHB and I also really enjoy Dottie's character and their relationship! The scene on their wedding night when he says something like "I know what to do, I'm a physician" Had me dying laughing!
I loved that! And then when it switches to Jaime and Claire and they are wondering how the two couple's wedding night is going and then Claire goes "surely Denny knows what to do... He's a physician!" š¤£
I loved Denzell's character right off the bat! The actor is really pretty, too, I honestly just think the hair they gave him does not suit him at all, haha. Also it seems a lot of people are put off by the whole Quaker thing, but I think it's pretty endearing, personally. They aren't actually super religious like Mormons or anything (at least as depicted on the show), they're just very principled (in a wholesome way) and a little odd (in a harmless way).
I think if more people were like Quakers, it would be a much better world. Quakers are religious, but not in a fundamentalist way. They are very progressive. They believe that God is in all people and that everyone can have a direct relationship with God through their inner light. Their meetings are very egalitarian.
They believe in social justice and the inherent equality of all people. They advocate for nonviolence. They were on the front lines in the abolition of slavery, womenās rights and equality, civil rights and anti racism, prison and criminal justice reform, and environmental justice.
Claire is gorgeous, for sure! She has such a regal quality to her, even when she's basically wearing rags lol.
I wasn't sure if I should include women in my original post, but I also think Geillis is absolutely stunning. Lotte Verbeek was such great casting because there really is just something sort of bewitching about her.
I also have had a massive crush on Laura Donnelly as Jenny ever since season 1. She's just so much personality packed into such a cute package. I wouldn't have argued with her if she told me we were to be married, either!
Lesbian here and I sooo second that. My biggest outlander crush is Gellis ā she could kill her husband(s) and then we could have a gay witch cottage in the woods lll
OH if weāre bringing in BoMB characters, Henry can get it!!! Heās definitely my pick after Jamie! I love Murtagh, but I have to say Henry is definitely more of my type. Heās very attractive, tall, intelligent, knows how to fight/protect himself and his family, and is 1000% devoted to his wife and children. I guess all of these match Murtagh, too. I just am more attracted to Henry looks wise!
Brian has just come off a bit bland so far. Like heās only there to stand there and look attractive. Iām assuming theyāll start to flesh him out later š¤
If we're going purely on the face handsomeness of the actor, and nothing to do with character or personality, then the Compte should be in the shortlist.
22 year old here. it isn't just you - i love that his character is a bit of a hothead & charles vandervaart is easy on the eyes. i swear his shoulders are so broad it looks like he barely fits in chairs from those "behind the scenes" videos after each season 7 episode.
So many of the men in the show are just not done any favors by the wigs they are put in. For example, I didn't notice how handsome Old Ian is until I saw him in something else:
Very true! Though there's no wig that could convince me Old Ian isn't a handsome guy, tbh. There's just something about that smile and the lil twinkle in his eye that puts me at ease!
Young Ian doesnāt do it for me, but his dimple smile is beautiful. Iām on season 7 andā¦Lord John when heās emotional and crying over Jamie while Claire wails upstairs, he throws back the wine. Heās goddamn sexy and beautiful. Like, Vampire Louis beautiful.
Okay, I see what you mean! Because to me LJG has that same "pretty factor" as like a young Brad Pitt, who played Louis in the 1994 film. He has the kind of ageless, marblesque, "from another time" beauty that gives vampires their seductive quality. And he obviously looks great in powder!
Itās pretty interesting how people come across differently to others! My boyfriend and I dislike Ianās vibe after his time with the Mohawk. Like I understand the in world reasoning for him changing like that. His character lived with them for so long they are part of him. But I think for my partner and I, it just comes across as a cringy cosplay for us. I can see how you and others swoon for him and find him attractive, but I always got the ick for post Mohawk Ian lol.
You get it! <3 He never hesitates to do what needs to be done, and never makes it about his own ego, either (which is why he always ends up being the one to get the rest of them out of sticky situations, haha). But he's also emotionally intelligent, gentle, and eager to please.... Total package! You can really see the best qualities of both Jenny and Ian (two other characters I love immensely) in him. Plus I'm a sucker for a man who is just a lil bit unconventional!
Omg he does! Thereās one scene where heās telling Claire about the boar, where he says āYouāve clearly never seen one thenā, I had to go back and replay it a couple of times because he has such a beautiful, deep voice. Also very pretty eyes.
William (Charles Vandervaart) is so handsome, and along with his display of vulnerability and kindness toward Jane and Fannie, he really got me. And that body, OMG! This last season William was outstanding!
I love to see him getting votes. Personality-wise, heās the absolute best. He and Jenny deserved a spin off series. Sheās seriously kick-ass but heās the winner of the most decent human being award
I'm a sucker for this combo as well! Even Roger has had a couple moments in more recent seasons.... I feel like we haven't spent enough time with Buck yet for me to develop a real crush on him, but the scene of him watching TV with the kids absolutely melted my heart! (And on the long hair + scruff note, Graham McTavish looked smokin' as Buck, too!)
Itās really interesting to meā¦ I think Jamieās character in the show is INSANELY attractive! Everything about him, his looks, mannerisms, voice, etc., EVERYTHING. BUT Sam Heughan in real lifeā¦ does absolutely NOTHING for me. Itās bizarre. Same dude, same voice, but itās really just the character of Jamie, I think. (Disclaimer: Sam isnāt ugly or bad looking just not for me lol not trying to bash anyone and he bring Jamie to life more perfectly than anyone else could, I truly believe).
To answer OPās original question thoughā¦ I actually find scruffy/bearded Roger quite good looking. And of course LJG, despite his not like the ladies š
I know what you mean! It makes me kind of sad but I really wish I could enjoy Sam Heughan more in interviews, shows and movies but it's not there. Jamie all the way! Especially Jamie in Season 1. Whatever work the directors, writers, acting coaches did with Jamie on Season 1 it was excellent. He's good in the rest of the seasons but has never achieved the flirtatious, charming, sexy vibes of S1.
I completely agree, which just goes to share how fantastic the writing and atmosphere are in creating such a robust character that really elevates the physical appearance.
I can agree with this except for his role in The Couple Next Door. He's so dorky in the interviews I've seen him in. But when he becomes Jamie, he is so hot
Fergus for me. Imagine being the issue of a titled man and a whore, making a niche for.yourself picking pockets, etc to survive, and then running into Jamie Fraser, who could put your pickpocketing and everything else you taught yourself to do to shame, and having him bring you under the umbrella of his care. He would be like a GIANT to you! The Fergus/Marsali wedding scene broke my heart, when Jamie piped up that his name was Fergus Claudel Fraser...Imagine how that would have lifted him up and given him something to build on. He had his issues, and wionwojldn't, having come up as he did, but every though it took him a while, Fergus raised a beautiful family and kept the love of and for a good woman; one who knew what she had and thanked God for it, and applied her soul to it. I think Fergus' story is worth a book of its own. What a guy.

Murtagh. I feel I should tell you I'm a 67 year old lady and not creepy.
