I Am Very Attracted to Thomas Brodie-Sangster as a Chess Cowboy on The Queen's Gambit
The Queen's Gambit is a masterpiece with its intriguing storylines and all-star cast, but one thing I haven't been able to get out of my head since binge-watching the series is Thomas Brodie-Sangster. The 30-year-old actor first rose to fame with his role as Sam in Love Actually, but he obviously looks super different on the Netflix miniseries. Even though his character, Benny, sports a scruffy mustache, a goofy leather trench coat, and a cowboy hat throughout the whole series, that didn't stop me from swooning over him. I don't know how to explain it, but when Beth pushes Benny's hair back in episode five, something changed for me. If you've watched the series, then you know what I mean. If you haven't watched yet, allow this thirst post to persuade you to add the show to your watch list.

OK, but Let's Talk About Benny Without His Hat and Jacket!
Beth's right — Benny does have great hair . . . and biceps.

The Sexual Tension Is Just Too Much
I love Beth and Benny just as much as I love Benny himself.
