    i've loved watching him since I saw Bend It Like Beckham for the first time. He is a great actor and he is completely hot. If dreams could come true I would meet him and have at least one night of hot lovin'. I know that would never happen because I would probably turn into a crazy idiot if I ever saw him in real life.
