What do Colin Firth, Matthew Macfadyen, Matthew Rhys, Sam Riley, and the late Laurence Olivier and Peter Cushing have in common with Elliot Cowan? Well, in addition to being sexy thespians, all of these British babes played Jane Austen’s headstrong hero Mr. Darcy of Pride and Prejudice fame. For Mr. Cowan it was in the ITV miniseries Lost in Austen (2008). The pretty performer also popped up on television shows (Agatha Christie’s Marple, Peaky Blinders, The Frankenstein Chronicles) and in TV movies (Dirty Filthy Love, The Mark of Cain, In Love with Barbara). Never one to rest on his laurels, the hardworking hottie sizzled on the big screen too. He appeared alongside Colin Farrell, Angelina Jolie, Val Kilmer, and Jared Leto in the historical epic Alexander (2004). The busy bloke also exposed his… comic timing in the rom-com Love and Other Disasters (2006) and Mike Leigh’s Happy-Go-Lucky (2008). However, Mr. Man prefers Mr. Cowan’s shirtless turn in the supernatural thriller Muse (2017). Through the years, Elliot portrayed record producer George Martin in Cilla (2014); King Henry VII in The Spanish Princess (2019); and statesman Lorenzo de’ Medici in Da Vinci’s Demons (2013-2015). The latter features Tom Riley, Laura Haddock, Blake Ritson, and Elliot’s bare body! In fact, the nude dude doffs his duds to show off his abs, ass, back, shaft and sack! Whether he’s flashing his flesh in a sauna, in bed with a harlot, or during a bloody torture scene, the skintastic actor proves the Renaissance was an erotic era!
