Do you believe in love at 1st sight, YOU CAN SHINE YOUR STAR AT THE TOP OF MY TREE ANYDAY AND THE SPARKLE IN YOUR EYES TOOK ME TO ANOTHER PLACE AND ANOTHER TIME. ItMore doesn't get any better than that!!! Or does it? Brought in the New Year making a toast to Julian McMahon under a full moon on a Hawain Cruise and have been on rerun of that moon ever since. This is my 1st opportunity since arriving to my home town on Lake Ontario with the snow falling and cushioning the trees that I dare to relive those moments, there are no words to express the joy of sharing my holidays in the presence of someone who has such magnetism and energy, amazing. I may as well tell all of Julians fans because it is doubtful I will ever repeat this to anyone in my real world. I am speechless but I wear a smug smile with flashbacks of his backside from the series Nip-Tuck, absolutely delightful. Thanks Santa Santa delivers a holiday dream and wraps up the New Year with a Bang I MET JULIAN MCMAHON AND CALLED HIM SANTA Cheers to the New Year , Lady Jane

  • Favourite Role

    I know everyone asks this, but what do you think has been his best role so far? I liked him as Cole in Charmed and Christian in Nip/Tuck. However I didn't like him in Fantastic Four or in Another Day. Also, do you prefer him playing a bad guy or a good guy? I can't decide.

  • When did you fall for him?

    I wanted to know from everyone when did you start liking Julian McMahon?     I was smitten by him one day when I was flicking through the channels, and I caught a glimpse of him en-passing when he was on The Ellen Degeneres Show. He's was talking about only God knows what. but I was just staring atMore this man with these gorgeous eyes and smile. When I found out what show he was promoting I was hooked on him and Nip/Tuck from then on.:D

    he has he whole package... hide show

    He is very very handsome near his talent. I first saw him in the charm and then I started to watch this series. And most of my friend did the same thing.
    Then nip/tuck, the series is also very well written and great and with Julian, the only word that describes the show is "perfection".
    I watched him also in his big screen movies ad Dr. Doom in Fantastic Four and he was great in both two films. And also I watched him with Sandra Bullock (I dont remember name of the film unfortunately) but I didnt like it in this movie, I think it would be great if it wasnt a drama but a romantic comedy.
    Hope to see him in big screen in romantic comedy.

    A very talented man, that is overlooked by most, he deserves more credit than he gets. hide show

    I first saw Julian in Charmed, and instantly loved his character Cole. He was such a complex character and so loveable. But then the writers (namely Brad Kern) ruined his character and relationship with Phoebe. But then he went onto Nip/Tuck and he was even better. He is wonderful in every show or movie that he is in. He was even in the ground breaking series Profiler. Fantastic 4 was a boost for his career, and it was a good movie. He even starred with Sandra Bullock. This man has such a range it's amazing. He deserves so much more credit than he recieves. And maybe a golden globe. :)

    I love Julian! In classification I was looking for both gorgeous and talented, but didn't find it so he is both fyi. hide show

    Julian McMahon is very talented and really gorgeous! I
    loved him on charmed and he was one of my favorite
    characters on the show and I believe that he should have
    stayed there and end up with Phoebe. Anyways this is another story.... I also watch Nip/tuck and he plays very well, through Christian Troy we can totally see Julian if you know what I mean... On Fantastic four he was great as the villain. On Premonition he was absolutely awesome why would he die at the end(sorry if you haven't seen the film and you are going to)?? On Another Day he acted well, but the emotion wasn't very strong, he can do better than that. Now as Julian McMahon all I know is that he is really hot!!! I wish I could meet him! Now one thing that I don't like is the earing that he wears... OMG I just saw him on a video and I was laughing. I mean ok you are gorgeous, but hello you are 40 and that isn't you. Another one is in an episode of Nip/tuck when I saw a guy, I didn't know who he was cause the shot was distant, but I did see a little boldness on his head and I was saying "Please God he's not Christian/Julian, he's not Christian" and unfortunately he was... These I don't like, but what can you do about the boldness? Well there are products my Julian... To sum up I love this man (despite my little dislikes) if only I was his girlfriend!!!!!

    Alright, this is basicly going to be a rant about how cute he is, what he should do, and what he shouldn't have done... Short and sweet! ^^'

    [Requested by: Slayergirlkal] hide show

    First off, his role in Charmed was absolute PeRfEcTiOn. Though his flaunting over Phoebe was a bit...unneeded. I mean, he can have anyone he wants in the series. But the producers put him with Phoebe? What was wrong with them! He so desired Piper. Not Leo. (I need to rant about Mr. Susie Homewrecker another time.)

    Anyway. He is so hot. I would leave anyone to go with this lovely specimen right here, Cole/Julian. The guy is just delectable. Though he is probably old enough to be my dad, I'm happy he's not. Then it would be sick for me to like him! O.O'

    The one thing I hate him for is his role in Nip/Tuck. That is truly out of character. I mean, he strips! O.O' I mean, I like him...but not THAT much. I can't even watch the show. -.-' This is the only guy I would ever leave Johny Depp for. (After I made sure to take him for all he's worth! ^^')

    Him in Fantastic Four was good. I mean, I hate actiony film. But I had to see it because Julian was in it! ^^' To tell you the truth, he played a damn good Dr. Doom! So EvIl!

    As well as Premoniton. I loved him in that role. Other then the fact he gets killed... Sorry If I just ruined that for anyone. He does die. By Sandra Bulluks hands! O.O Still, I like her too. So that movie was hands down. Had to see it. I give it a thumbs up. The first time around anyway.

    Ok, back to my rant. I absolutely love Cole/Julian. There is nothing that could make him look ugly in my eyes. Unless he continues that stupid Nip/Tuck thing. I mean, Why Did He Leave The Charmed Set!

    I so wanted to ball my eyes out...wait...I did! I cried the first time they killed him. Then grinned when they brought him back. Then cried and laughed when he died again and became source!...Then they went and finished him off for good. Only bringing him back for one shooting after. I was so depressed. Loosing Prue and Cole...Horrid.

    That's when it went down hill, Charmed that it. As soon as Paige and the new Demons showed... Horrible.

    Still, I rate Julian the highest AnYoNe will EvEr go! 10!! ^^ YAH! And this concludes my misguided rant! Now, to Jeff Dunham! (laughes at Walter)

    for me julian is a manly man. it's regrettably he is no often seen lately on tv. I would like to see more of julian on tv. maybe an idea for a show where he is the mayor player. hide show

    not only is he a superb actor, he is also the most manly man of mankind. In the show charmed he played a great part en there was a magic between him and the actress playing Phoebe. his role in profiler was surtenly not one of his best but for a start.... the best role ever Julian McMahon played is the one in NIp Tuck. He is very manly, also I have the feeling that he is playing himself. A bit of an egoistic guy, very strong, s bit spoiled by women.
    Hopefuly we wil see him in a movie. or in another great show.
