A Knight’s Tale (2001)

[its-a-state-of-angst]

Who were your very first celebrity crushes?

ahhhhh (it's so embarrassing cause it was the nineties and most of them have grown to disappoint me, cough the men the men I had crushes from them have cough)

BUT I KNOW, well REALIZE that one consistent crush has remained from early tweens to now and THAT's RUFUS Sewell

It started with A Knight's Tale(did a whole post on before). TBH I loved HEATH LEDGER as well back then, so that film WAS A WIN WIN FOR ME (even more so Paul Bettany)

But you know Tristan and Isolde I was focused on him and I know Isolde was in love with someone else...but even am 15 year old me was like DAMN RUFUS SEWELL

Then he appears and destroys me in Victoria

AND THEN FREAKING MAISEL...

and I AM OBSESSED WITH him in The Diplomat (I won't lie I started watching it for him)

I do have other first celebrity crushes from that time women(but in denial back then), men etc....but I just realized after I saw a Tristan and Isolde gifset... and I was like "wait a minute, RUFUS SEWELL was one of the first and still is hardcore celebrity crush for me". I was obsessed with him and it has continued for all that time. PLUS he's freaking hilarious on social media too.

(I AM AWARE OF SCOOP and it is brilliant and I watched it. BUT AM HE WAS PLAYING A GROSS REAL LIFE POWERFUL MAN....but he did a good job, and deserves awards)

Thank you for the ask <3 <3 I probably thought way too much about that :L

He really is an asshole in this movie...but Rufus Sewell's pretty eyes and dark curls as Count Adhemar are doing things to me
