Oooooohhhhh, Canada: The Eleven Sexiest Canadians of Film And Television

By Joanna Robinson | Posted Under Seriously Random Lists | Comments (62)

What, you think the only meat our neighbors up north produce is bacon? Wrong. I picked ten current luscious Canadians and one classic. I couldn’t leave him out, he wears Mountie red so well. So, Happy Friday, Canadians, here’s a little something to put the “ooooo” in your about. [ETA: I made this a Ryan-free Zone. They get enough of your drool.]

Cobie Smulders

Tamhoh Penikett

Stana Katic

Joshua Jackson (R.I.P.)

Anna Paquin

Nathan Fillion

Rachel McAdams

Scott Speedman

Elisha Cuthbert

Shawn Ashmore

Paul Gross

AND HOLY CATS I FORGOT TIM RIGGINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Joanna Robinson reserves the right to use Anna Paquin again on “New Zealand Day,” “Bisexual Day,” “Lesbian Day,” “Married A British Dude Day” and “That Gap In Her Teeth Should Be Less Cute Than It Is Day.”

Aww, Happy Canadia Day, Canadia! Thanks for the purty!

Posted by: Lainey at July 1, 2011 3:07 PM

That picture of Scott Speedman is outstanding, even though I hated him in Felicity. And I don't know what it is about Nathan Fillion, but every time I see him, I just want to lick him in some weird oral fixation fetish way. But, pray tell, where is Ryan Reynolds (and his abs)?

Aren't Cannucks supposed to reproduce asexually?

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at July 1, 2011 3:12 PM

Wow! Anna Paquin is Canadian? I had no idea. I feel like I should have known. That Shawn Ashmore fellow though? It's a cryin' freaking shame I didn't know 'bout him. I am a bad Canadian.

Posted by: Eyvi at July 1, 2011 3:13 PM

Thank you, Canada, for Degrassi, William Shatner, Rush, some very good friends of mine, and the endless amusement that I derive from "aboot."

Posted by: DarthCorleone at July 1, 2011 3:14 PM

Also, I find your omission of Ryan Gosling quite unforgivable. He should top the list for this alone:

I could watch that on a loop, all day, EVERY DAY!

Posted by: Az at July 1, 2011 3:16 PM

I know, Az, doesn't he look like an exhausted sexy Jesus?

Posted by: coveredinbees at July 1, 2011 3:16 PM

It's everything: the way he beckons her over, the way he grabs her hair when they're kissing, the look on her face at the end. It makes me all flushed and swoon-y like I'm 16 again. LOVE.

Posted by: Az at July 1, 2011 3:21 PM

Oh wow, coveredinbees... now you really got me. I went to an all girl Catholic school and have serious Jesus issues and you played right into them!

Posted by: Az at July 1, 2011 3:23 PM

Dear Canadians,

I'm blatantly objectifying several of you right now. Sorey aboot that.

Love,
Angeleno Ewok

Posted by: Angeleno Ewok at July 1, 2011 3:25 PM

I don't understand the "(R.I.P)" beside Joshua Jackson's name... ???

Posted by: Ami at July 1, 2011 3:26 PM

Oh, Jonathan Crombie, my eleven-year-old self will always rank you as the #1 Canadian.

http://metropolitanmama.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/1087030169_ad2ec7c3b4.jpg

And, the Joshua Jackson R.I.P. is an old Pajiba chestnut about the death of his career. This was pre-Fringe, I believe.

Posted by: coveredinbees at July 1, 2011 3:27 PM

Happy Canada Day to you too, my American friends from the south!
Put maple syrup on everything, aiiight?

P.S: Seeing that photo of Shawn Ashmore always makes me piddle my pants with the giggles... Too bad his twin bro never seems to do such fabulous things ;)

Posted by: Lisa Bee at July 1, 2011 3:28 PM

If Anna Paquin counts, then I think Callum Keith Rennie should too.

Aren't Cannucks supposed to reproduce asexually?

It's more along the lines of hermaphroditic slugs.

Posted by: Uda at July 1, 2011 3:31 PM

Thank you for Paul Gross in a Mountie uniform. The only thing sexier would be Paul Gross in a Mountie uniform playing hockey. Oh ya,

About 40 seconds in.

Now if you'll excuse me, my maple sugar has boiled over.

“That Gap In Her Teeth Should Be Less Cute Than It Is Day.”

It's not cute.

Posted by: Jay at July 1, 2011 3:35 PM

Speedman is looking pretty damn good but Fillion is still an automatic win.

Posted by: FyreHaar at July 1, 2011 3:40 PM

Paul Gross! I love it.

Posted by: kelsy at July 1, 2011 3:44 PM

I don't know why but I always thought that Anna Paquin was from New Zealand or Australia.

Posted by: John W at July 1, 2011 3:49 PM

Thank you, Canada. And JoRo for this lovely collection of photos that will get me through this long afternoon.

Posted by: MelBivDevoe at July 1, 2011 3:49 PM

I had no idea the detective from Castle had such gorgeous legs. Damn!

Posted by: Fredo at July 1, 2011 3:55 PM

That Shawn Ashmore picture is disturbing.

How did they... I mean... double-faced adhesive tape...?

Posted by: Rooks at July 1, 2011 4:07 PM

Paul Gross!
I'm thinking maybe I'll have a Slings & Arrows marathon over the long weekend...

Posted by: Scootsa1000 at July 1, 2011 4:16 PM

I don't find Anna Paquin attractive, but let's not be hating on gap-toothed girls. We can be sexy too, dammit!

And Tamhoh Penikett needs to be in everything, ever. Dear lord .

Posted by: beckster at July 1, 2011 4:17 PM

Ooh, coveredinbees, I'm going to have to agree with you, there - Gilbert Blythe will always be my dream Canadian man!!

Posted by: noodlestein at July 1, 2011 4:41 PM

I expected them all to be naked, draped in a Canadian flag. Someone should make that happen.

Posted by: Slash at July 1, 2011 4:48 PM

Things I Would Like To Do With Stana Katic's Legs:

-Wear them as a scarf in the winter
-Replace the arms of a chair with puntastic results!
-Whack-a-mole bat.
-For use as International maritime signal flags
-Cricket anyone?
-Churn butter. Or whatever food I deem sexy on that given day. Can you churn bacon?
-An alarm clock. Don't care how, but waking up to those starts the day right.

Posted by: D-Day at July 1, 2011 4:50 PM

I also enjoy the "oot" and "aboot." Cracks me up every time.

Posted by: Slash at July 1, 2011 4:50 PM

I saw the headline and all I could think was "there better be some damn Fillion or heads will roll!"

And then you give me sweaty Nathan next to a red car and all is calm and serene and I think I hear a bunk calling me....

Sorry, what was that? Other hot Canadians? Nuh-uh.

Posted by: jmd at July 1, 2011 4:57 PM

Michael J. Fox. He's timeless.

Posted by: lawnjart at July 1, 2011 4:59 PM

Sookeh's gap is adorable. Just like the rest of her...especially that hot hunk of Bheel she struts around with lookin all happily married an shit.

Posted by: klingonfree at July 1, 2011 5:00 PM

This list isn't all that great. I like Anna Paquin, but I would put several Canadian actresses over her.
Evangeline Lilly
Sarah Chalke
Kristin Kreuk
Mia Kirshner

Posted by: The Kilted Yaksman at July 1, 2011 5:06 PM

"Sexy" is not a word I would ever apply to Anna Paquin.

Posted by: Todd at July 1, 2011 5:25 PM

Bless you for including Tahmoh. Canadian friends, are his arms official national treasures?

Posted by: Jess at July 1, 2011 5:35 PM

Wasn't Anna Paquin born in New Zealand?

Posted by: Ginger at July 1, 2011 5:49 PM

Taylor Kitsch? TAYLOR KITSCH?????

This list is moot. Riggins should never be omitted from anything ever.

Also: no Ryan R and Ryan G?

[Well I explained the lack of Ryans but you are SO right about Timmy Riggins. That is inexcusable. I'm going to fix that.--JR]

Posted by: Gerbs at July 1, 2011 6:04 PM

Anna Paquin is from New Zealand, she simply lived in/grew up in Canada.

Posted by: Alexa at July 1, 2011 6:12 PM

It's actually the other way around; Paquin was born in Canada but raised in New Zealand. I'd call her a New Zealander, but she's Canadian enough to count. Probably.

Posted by: Arran at July 1, 2011 6:39 PM

You've clearly put the oot in my about.

Posted by: Jerry Kenney at July 1, 2011 7:17 PM

Spent last Canada Day watching a group of lovely mounties smile and tip Stetsons politely at the huge crowd filling Trafalgar Square - it was a perfect day...

Posted by: funtime42 at July 1, 2011 7:57 PM

The only reason I clicked on the link was for the inevitable Ryan Reynolds pic.

I am disappoint.

Posted by: Skyler Durden at July 1, 2011 8:35 PM

Gah. Giggity giggity GIGGITY.

I'd also like to thank Canada everytime they interview hockey players getting changed in the locker room. Thanks Canada.

Posted by: Laurie at July 1, 2011 9:36 PM

God bless Degrassi before season six of The Next Generation. Fuck them for killing J.T. Yorke, but God bless Degrassi (pre-season six) all the same.

^ the .gif is my reaction to this post.

Posted by: duckandcover at July 1, 2011 9:57 PM

I think Paquin was born in Canada but grew up in, and is a citizen of, New Zealand.

I lived in Canada for six months. This list proves my theory that they export most of the hotness out...

Posted by: redfeather at July 1, 2011 10:13 PM

No Ellen Page? Shame.

Posted by: TheDarkChrisKnight at July 1, 2011 10:34 PM

Isn't the Green Lantern Canadian? I know he has lost a little luster, but damn did Pajiba turn on him that quickly?

Posted by: brdkelli at July 2, 2011 12:02 AM

The problem with Canadians is you can't really ever imagine doing anything that wild with them.

"Oh let's do it with the lights on today, ay."

I mean a lot of words I'd use to describe Canadians but sexy isn't one of them. Adorable maybe Sexy? Might as well start calling Ewoks sexy.

Posted by: googergieger at July 2, 2011 1:24 AM

RIGGINS.

Also I agree, Cassie Steele has a bangin' bod.

Posted by: grace b at July 2, 2011 1:50 AM

No Jewel Staite or Lexa Doig? For shame!

Posted by: Adam C at July 2, 2011 2:22 AM

Where is Lisa Ray? possibly one of the most beautiful actresses in Canada and also in the world!

Posted by: Mirko at July 2, 2011 3:34 AM

I second Jewel Staite. Leaving Kaylee off of a "Sexiest" list is simply criminal.

I'd also add Samantha Farris (Ellen Harvelle on "Supernatural").

Posted by: Rykker at July 2, 2011 4:14 AM

"I also enjoy the "oot" and "aboot." Cracks me up every time."

Me too, because I have never, ever heard any Canadian pronounce those words in that way. You people are weird.

Posted by: Melissa at July 2, 2011 1:12 PM

Canada is Earth's best-kept secret as a damn sexy factory. I'm by no means gay but those are some attractive men up there, and the girls make me curse the fact I'm from Kentucky.

Posted by: Kris at July 2, 2011 1:20 PM

What?-no Kiefer Sutherland!? Seriously, even straight guys would go "Bi for Bauer". Definitely co-sign on Mia Kirshner and Rachel McAdams-definitely the makings of a sex sandwich!

As for Canadian sexiness, I had carnal knowledge of a lovely young lady from Alberta who left me drained, throbbing and whimpering...

So for Canadians' sexiness, just think: "Oh, Canada, Oh Canada, OhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhAUGGGGHHHARRRGHHHHH!!!!!!....snore"

Posted by: MadMike at July 2, 2011 5:09 PM

Mmmm Tim Riggins

Posted by: Kate at june at July 2, 2011 6:03 PM

Mmmm, Tahmoh. Mmmmm.

Posted by: heatseeker at July 3, 2011 1:03 AM

I came here looking for some Nathan, so thankee ever so for that. And Paul Gross! Classic indeed--he brings back my college days *sigh*.

And for my fellow Jonathan Crombie lovers, I have a story. Basically, at a Shakespeare festival in Canada one year, he was playing Romeo, and at that crucial bit in the play where Romeo drinks the poison (spoiler, sorry), a voice in the audience called out "Gilbert, no!!!" It was a moment, for sure.

Posted by: Kim at July 3, 2011 10:16 AM

Paul Gross still makes the backs of my knees sweat.

Posted by: llp at July 4, 2011 8:41 PM

You had me at Shatner.

Posted by: The Mutt at July 4, 2011 11:05 PM

As a Newbie, I am always searching online for articles that can help me. Thank you
