(Somehow I doubt that Tolkien ever intended for Frodo to be included in a list like that. Tough! I've always had a thing for Frodo.)
Or, as one friend of mine put it, "do you suppose that Tolkien ever imagined that people would one day think Frodo Baggins = sex god"? Or, as I used to call Movie Frodo, the Renaissance Angel Hobbit.
I don't think he (Tolkien) could ever have imagined such a thing.

I never had any complaint about Movie Frodo's looks.

Rickman as Valmont would have been devastating! I mean, the man is the bomb, right? He is the bomb. Blows them all out of the water.
Oh, he's the bomb. THE BOMB.
