He's been in other works, maybe watch one of those? You can be a fan of his without liking Hannibal

[Picture is Hannibal Lecter from the TV show "Hannibal". He is a man with lightly tanned skin and short dark brown hair. He is wearing a blue shirt, a brown tie and a gray suit. He is looking upwards, with a light shining down on him. He is somewhere indoors.]

I see his face on Tumblr every single day, and every time I pause and stare and think about how very attractive he is... But I still haven't bothered to watch past the first episode of Hannibal. I keep thinking I might, but it just didn't really grab me! But I want to be able to be a fan of his because mmm...

Watch "After the Wedding" -- it's a great movie and he plays a very healthy, vulnerable, good-hearted guy with no murders or eaten corpses in sight.

Fan of Mads Mikkelsen =/= Fan of Hannibal

Maybe you can try searching around for other stuff he's starred in (he'll probably have an IMDB page.) I know he played Le Chiffre in Casino Royale, but I've heard he's done a lot of other films/shows in his home country, that are less gruesome.

+1

Just check out his IMDB page, you'll probably find something to interest you.

(I have no recs tbh because I mostly know him from Casino Royale and Hannibal too, but I agree that he's handsome. Hannibal has impeccable taste though (IN CLOTHING) so that doesn't hurt.)

A Royal Affair is a non gruesome, non-taxing costume drama where he's the romantic lead so that might be a good place to start. (Warning for sad plot developments though.)

He is not attractive. Seriously, what's wrong with people that they think this lump of fug is good looking/

To each their own. I find his appearance actively off-putting, but different people like different things. One person's misshapen frog-monster is another person's heartthrob.

Yes, this. Can't stand his appearance either but in no way do I expect my tastes to conform to anyone else's.

Agreed.

He's very talented and his personality is sterling, but neither of those compensates for the god-awful teeth and trout face.

Welp, better start going around telling people that they can't find him attractive, now. And that there's something wrong with them for not sharing your tastes.

Don't worry, I already do.

Clearly you contribute to society in a meaningful way.

Damn right I do ♥

Sure, if by "contribute to a society in a meaningful way" you mean "make people feel bad about themselves for having different interests from me."

Wow, its almost like attractiveness is completely subjective or something.

His face actually scares me. I'm not sure what it is. It's not just repulsive to me... It actually looks threatening. And I thought this BEFORE I found out he was the guy playing Hannibal. Now it's 10x worse.

Then watch the numerous movies he was in before (and after) Hannibal?

Idgi, I think he's ugly as hell

I watched maybe two minutes of it when it premiered and just didn't care, then got interested enough through Tumblr etc. to try again and really liked it but didn't love it (except for Will, that was pretty much instant). The third rewatch was when I really lost my mind over it. Now I'm sitting here wondering how to keep myself from going for a fourth before the DVD comes out next month, lol. It's just so weird and gross and touching and darkly funny, and it's so frustrating that you can stretch it out to only one episode a day and savor the hell out of it, but it's still over too soon because there are only 13 of them! So it was a slow burn for me and could be for you, too, if you ever want to try again. Or not, that's cool. I'm definitely going to start watching the rest of his stuff. I have the broadest taste in men of anyone I know, but I thought at first that he was just weird-looking and didn't get what other people were seeing until I'd stared at him through several cumulative hours of the show. That upper lip is absolutely ridiculous and I love it.

Yeah, I wouldn't necessarily say Mads is ~hot~ but he's definitely got a certain sort of interestingness about his looks. There's a lot of depth there.

I'd give Hannibal another go, as it does get better as it goes on (though I enjoyed it from the first episode to be fair) but you could just watch other things he's been in.

Don't worry. you really aren't missing much. Try his other works? (i know nothing else of him, just that i hate his hannibal)
