Which guy would you have picked?


Christopher or Robin?

Personally I would have picked Christopher but maybe thats just because I think Andrew Lincoln is hot...although I did really love the character as well. He seemed like a sweeter and nicer guy in general, not just because he liked her....

Just saw this and I believe my verdict would have to be....

Christopher! I watched this with my husband (yep! He's a good guy who will watch stuff like this with me.) And he asked me who I would have chosen. I am partial to Andrew Lincoln, myself...but, as you said, his character edged out Robin (also a real cutie) because Christopher seemed more devoted to Diana, while Robin was more ambitious about his art.

So, a belated ditto on that.

Okay, I know this question is almost 2 years old but I'm going to answer it anyway. I definitely would've picked Christopher. I think Robin is actually hotter but Christopher is so kind, gentle, and proper. He has so much integrity (he never forced himself on Diana and felt really bad about "making things complicated" for her and when the war broke out, he volunteered to be a pilot because he knew he was needed and also that might make it easier for Diana to let go of him and marry Robin instead). It's weird b/c usually in movies, it's the other way around. The girl always ends up with the more volatile, more dashing man (not that Robin was THAT dashing but in comparison, he was the more creative/ambitious/artsy one). And Christopher was the quiet, prudent one, the kind who appears to be reserved on the outside but passionate in private. ;-)
