Over the summer, I did a “Ralph Fiennes: would you hit it?” post when he was looking rather unfamiliar and sketchy, most likely because he had grown out an awkward beard to play Charles Darwin. That post was surprisingly popular, and I was pleased to see that some of you could see beyond the Charles Dickens-style and remember Ralph’s powerful beauty. Well, these are new photos of Ralph last night at the BFI London Film Festival premiere of Great Expectations – this is the same premiere where Helena Bonham Carter looked AWESOME. Ralph plays Magwitch in the film. Incidentally, the film is getting rave reviews!

Anyway, Ralph is obviously looking “better” when you compare him to the Dickens-style a few months ago. I prefer my Ralph in some kind of suit or, failing that, one of his English Patient costumes. His hairline is rather wonky and sad, but I do like that Ralph hasn’t gone in for plugs or a toupee. With that face… he doesn’t need hair. GAH. I would still hit it like a house on fire. I love him so much. So much more than his brother Joseph.

PS… There’s some bonus “Robbie Coltrane: would you hit it?” in here. I would not hit it, but I wouldn’t mind having lunch with Robbie.
