Once again, I'm so late to the party but I sooo know how you feel :(

Rik Mayall had the cheekbones of an underwear model and the cheeky eyes of an incubus. If I were born in the eighties, I'm pretty I'd have had his picture on my wall.

While I think the characters he played were wicked, I wish occasionally he'd let the grotesque face go. Can you imagine what Rick would have been like as a character if less effort had been put into making him look gross? He would have seemed poncier, more vain, and more unconvincing as a guy trying to look middle-class. He was so gorgeous in the pilot and I wish they had kept that look for him (without losing the little pigtails though). But he would also have looked less delusional, I imagine.

He looks like Jonathan Rhys Meyers in this

Yes, exactly! And yes, his cheekbones. They are to-fucking-die for. In between pulling faces as Kevin Turvey he looks like some elfin sex nymph. And that video: there aren't even words.

I have to say I definitely prefer the version of Rick from his stand up and the pilot, the slightly more chilly (I was going to say more calm, but that's not really it is it lol) personality as well as the stylish clothes. He really looks cool in the pilot, but he's obviously a poseur. I liked that better. I agree it makes more sense with his character as a vain, desperate wannabe. I didn't really enjoy how infantile he became, coinciding roughly with the yellow dungarees.

He might have looked less delusional (though isn't it that he's such a git that really makes him a loser/unattractive?), but even with all Rik's best efforts to be scummy he was still a heartthrob by the end of the series according to Paul Jackson, so there must be only so much you can do to hide bone structure that good. :3
