ARYa_Nym Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 The Baratheons on the show were a poor showing as to how they looked in the books. So I generally dont take that into account. Harry was better looking than I imagined Viserys when reading, less gaunt.True but at the same time when Dany saw Rhaegar in the Undying she said that he looked like Viserys only he was taller. Viserys must be attractive only he looks a bit crazy and is skinnier.Jon is supposed to be lean and graceful. I think Rhaegar was like that.

Batman Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 Ya theyre all over the place. Renly went from hugely muscular and tall to extremely wimpy and skinny,completely unwarriorish. Kept his charm though!I thought Tom Welling looked a bit like Renly. He could use a little more height and a little more muscle, but he has the looks and charisma. Stannis was the one Baratheon who ended up looking better in the show than in the books Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince of Dragonstone Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 When I envisioned the Targaryen look, I pictured more of the platinum blonde hair, as opposed to shining silver. I also imagined the purple eyes to be more of a "so deep blue they look violet" color akin to Elizabeth Taylor's famous eye hue. If you see it in a more natural way, rather than cartoonish, then it becomes easier to imagine. Also take note that GRRM describes the Lannisters as having "golden locks" but everybody knows that's just blonde. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cersei says that it's easier to pretend Robert is Rhaegar then Jaime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When GRRM was giving descriptions for Targaryan portraits only Princess Elaena and Shiera Seastar got silver hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARYa_Nym Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Dunno about that. Cersei says that it's easier to pretend Robert is Rhaegar then Jaime.I think he had the gracefulness.Many a night she had watched Prince Rhaegar in the hall, playing his silver-stringed harp withthose long, elegant fingers of his. Had any man ever been so beautiful? Aurane Waters is described as lean. She first thought that he was Rhaegar come again but then when she looked at him further she thought that they didn't look alike. It was mainly the hair.Aurane Waters. It was not the first time the queen had made note of Waters, a lean young man with grey greeneyes and long silver-gold hair. The first time she had seen him, for half a heartbeat she had almost thoughtRhaegar Targaryen had returned from the ashes. It is his hair, she told herself. He is not half as comely as Rhaegarwas. His face is too narrow, and he has that cleft in his chin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BabyMeraxes Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Personal preference, but I am not into super fair dudes, so I've never really been about the Targ males. They're way down on the list, with the Baratheons (especially young Robert), the Martells and Khal Fucking Drogo at the top. I guess it also doesn't help that I imagine all the Targ dudes in the series to be little more than fancy-haired twinks. Their eyes are pretty awesome, though.

Frey Pie Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 There arent many 6,4 tanks who have quality acting chops out there. Rory McCann was a find as the Hound.True enough. Jaime is probably just as big as Renly was in the books though and i think his actor has just the right mixIn the books i thought cersei seemed mint too and Lena Hedley is really hot but im not sure she does Cersei justice, possibly because of the hair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhaenys Targaryen Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Well, I'd absolute love the purple eyes, I am sure about that. The hair color, not necessarily... I like dark hair better. However, the way I envision the Targ males is quite hot... at least in my mind. Doesn't help they remind me of another character of similar features I am very fond of.Also, I don't like the way I imagine the Baratheons or Khal Drogo. I think if I have to choose, I will be probably be falling for a Stark. Dark hair, grey eyes... sounds pretty cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luna Plath Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I have albinism (like Ghost) and I always thought the Targaryen features sounded like albino traits to me. Some people with albinism actually do have violet/blue eyes, and the silvery-blonde hair as well, so I think that may have been a source of inspiration for GRRM. When I imagine Daenerys I always picture Connie Chiu, which you can see here:http://images.mylot.com/userImages/images/postphotos/1666642.jpgI think the Targaryens look the way they do because it's exotic. I don't think it's the features per se that make them attractive, but the rarity of their looks. As someone with very white-blonde hair I can definitely say this is a real thing. People are interested because it just looks different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Jaime was nearly as tall maybe 6,2 and thinner, Jaime never thinks of himself as strong more fast and skilled.The wig that Lena has is pretty ordinary but the actress makes up for that.

Lady Storm Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I'd love it, especially on a guy, I prefer men who look stereotypically Nordic. Don't know why, but I keep imagining Rhaegar as a young Michael Fassbender, lighter hair and purple eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is when he fights Brienne, herself freakishly strong, after hes been imprisoned for months on end. So i would think Jaime is pretty darn strong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know if the silver hair would be super attractive to me, but in all honesty purple eyes? Hell yes. I dated a girl who wore contacts that were purple, just like Liz Taylor's.

Not_a_Lady_Brienne Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I think silver hair and purple eyes could be really attractive on a guy. I probably don't have a representative opinion on this, but I like fair and slender guys. Of course it depends on other things too like the shape of the face, but those features could be very attractive on a guy. And, as others mentioned, it's an unusual/exotic look which can be attractive on its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lojzelote Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I don't think that their hair is meant to be literally "silver." Lannisters' hair is golden, but does someone really picture them looking exactly like golden threads?In my imagination, their hair looks like the Legolas, Galadriel, or Lucius Malfoy wig. Just very light blond. It works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Gathers Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 In these days if a girl has that silvery hair and purple eyes, it would look as if she dyed her hair and had colored lenses. Most people would draw the conclusions that the look wasn't natural and it could look rather extreme and stereotypical. There are after all people who dye their hair odd colors and use dyed lenses.But for the question itself, if a girl had the Targaryen features naturally, that would be very attractive.
