My most favourite movie star in the whole wide world


Horatio Hornblower is friends with Drama!


How exciting, was just trying to find a picture of Ioan to go with the exciting news that he's going to be in a new pilot this season in the states... but as always I got diverted. Also found a strange little website that is like Wikipedia but purposefully inaccurate...

Rear Admiral Horatio “Crazy Legs” Hornblower (July 4, 1776 to May 21, 1869) was one of the most daring and successful captains of the Napoleonic Wars, leading the French to nickname him "le merde des mers" ("the Sea Shite").
