New take on Robin Hood featuring 26 y/o Jonas Armstrong. Adorable. Series is quite enjoyable with an over=the-top performance by the guy who plays the Sheriff of Nottingham. Armstrong is seriously cute.

You are correct that the new Robin Hood is cute. I want to be one of his merrymen.

Apparently,

He wears Diesel slim fit jeans and Topman white v-neck t-shirts, winkle picker shoes, Bumble and Bumble hair wax, and has his hair cut in Toni and Guy...

If he is not gay , then he certainly is 'European'...

Hmm, I don't wear any of that stuff and get my haircut at a barber shop. That make me straight?

Winkle picker shoes?

I didn't know either, had to look it up...

"Winklepickers or Winkle Pickers are a style of shoe or boot worn from the 1950s onward by both certain male and female British rock and roll fans. The feature which gives both the boot and shoe their name is the very sharp and quite long pointed toe, reminiscent of medieval footwear and approximately the same as the long pointed toes on some women's fashion shoes and boots today. This pointed toe was called the winkle picker toe because, in England, winkles are eaten with a pin or pointed object to get the winkle out of the shell (hence the term "to winkle something out").

Winklepicker boots and shoes were part of the standard clothing worn by Teddy Boys. The male boots were of leather, elastic-sided and had a two-inch, and later as much as two and one half inch, Cuban heel. The male shoes were lace-up Oxford style with a one and a half or two inch usually Cuban Heel." - Wikipedia
