Something about him is so magical… his face, eyes and voice… my god 🫠

[@trawlins396]

Everything about him is sexy.

I mispronounced his name another way for years (in the '90s and '00s). Growing up I thought people were referring to him as "Ray Finnes." :D

Geoffrey Rush is a phenomenal actor but Fiennes should have won the Oscar.

I'm English from up north Yorkshire and never ever heard of this tradition of pronouncing it rafe must be a southern thing

[@joadbreslin5819]

It wasn't a regional thing, but rather a practice followed only by some families. One such Ralph, Sir Ralph Lewis Wedgwood, was born in Staffordshire.

[@trawlins396]

It's always pronounced Rafe
