Man Crush Monday: Charlie Cox

With the premiere of season 2 of Netflix’s Daredevil, we’ve got Charlie Cox is on our mind for this week’s #MCM. Here are a few reasons why Charlie Cox should be on your radar:

1. He’s British. Accents automatically make people a little more intriguing. There’s just something so enticing about a good looking man with a British accent, in particular. I mean, close your eyes and listen to him speak. Man, those Brits.
2. He’s a versatile actor. Charlie Cox has a great mixture of stage, film, and television experience. He may be most well-known for Daredevil at the moment, but he jumped into my orbit when he starred in the tragically undervalued film adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s wonderful novel, Stardust. Just between those two roles, he went from being able to play a gentle, joyful, naive young man to playing a quietly tough superhero. That’s a good range in my book. Additionally, he had a few other notable screen roles that were pretty varied. He was an Irish immigrant on Boardwalk Empire, a small role in Downton Abbey, and was a sweet choirmaster in The Theory of Everything.
3. Did I mention that he’s good looking and could make you swoon? This is definitely an asset that many actors can claim (honestly, most anyone in the media can claim attractiveness as an asset), but when good looks are combined with great acting and that great accents, magic happens. Let’s just take a look at him, shall we?
   • His stubble. His serious face. His strength oozes from every pore.
   • He clearly can have “kissing” as a skill set on his resume.
   • Even though he’s beaten up and bloody, his shirtless scenes still look damn good.

So, what are you waiting for? Go find yourself something with Charlie Cox in it, and lose yourself in it.
