Oh, I hope not. Based on his interviews, he seems to be an intelligent person, and with that in mind, I hope he realizes that what we say or think (whether positive or negative) doesn't amount to a hill of beans in the grand scheme of his life. Honestly, it was his acting ability that drew me to the character of Ianto Jones, not what Gareth look's like in a suit or how pronounced his cheekbones are. I live in the US, and I often think how great it would be to live in the UK and have the opportunity to see GDL (and David Tennant) on stage.
He snuck up on me. Like everyone else I wasn't paying the least attention to him. "Cyberwoman" made me look, "Countrycide" made me go "hmmm", but it was "End of Days" that made me love him.
I have a proven weakness for quiet, watchful characters who are secretly emotional tornadoes. (O HAI STEPHEN MATURIN.)
And actually, his beautiful, precise, light baritone speaking voice is my favorite of his physical characteristics. :-)
