Aidan Shaw (John Corbett)


In addition to Hugh Jackman as my fave actor, I now have John Corbett in the list. I can't help liking him alot after watching his fictional character Aidan Shaw in Sex and the City.

Aidan is irresistibly charming, with laid-back (laid-back is good, less stressful) sex appeal - witness the slow smile, the twinkle in his eyes, the sweet sayings - that slays Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker). Furniture designer (I love furniture!), dog owner (me too!), guy with a country cabin - he's the perfect opposite to the commitment-phobic, hard to pin down Mr. Big (Chris Noth). Aidan is so warm and accessible and THERE for Carrie. He even refinishes her floors (aww.. so sweet) and makes her a home-cooked meal. (men who cook are sexy!)

Aidan has the courage of his convictions. Carrie finds out on their first date that, to him, smoking is a no-no. He's even willing to risk losing the girl. But never fear, the course of true love will be helped along by the nicotine patch.

Who wouldn't love a guy who says: "I have a life, I'm just making room for you in it," or "You make me happy," or even "Let's get you a donut." Awww... There seems to be nothing wrong with him - not a flaw. He goes to help Miranda (Carries' best friend, sprawled naked on her bathroom rug) when her back goes out. And he doesn't even sneak a peek. Not Aidan.

When he gets down on his knees in the middle of a moonlit street and proposes, we all sigh and join Carrie in saying, "Yes". Sooo romantic!!!

Tell me, who wouldn't love a man like that? For sure I do but where is he?
