Updated on 5/15/2016 at 2:00 PM

The world might be busy freaking out about Game of Thrones lately, but in-the-know TV addicts are all about an equally sexy and action-packed series on the History channel: Vikings. Not only is the show based on actual historical events and figures, but it's also filled with crush-worthy castmembers who'll keep you pressing play episode after episode. And none of these actors will make you want to binge-watch Vikings more than Clive Standen, the masculine British face behind Rollo Lothbrok.

If you haven't been convinced to watch the series yet, or are simply a dedicated fan who can't wait for next season, let these photos of Standen (both in character and out) persuade you to give the show a shot. He'll send you head over heels faster than a warrior being pushed overboard during battle on the high seas!

Where do we even begin with Clive Standen?

The British actor is charming, talented, and (obviously) gorgeous.

Whenever he's on screen, especially on the binge-worthy show Vikings, we can't look away.

Standen's character, Rollo, doesn't always make the best choices . . . but he's always an eyeful.

Whether he's covered in furs or blood, Rollo pulls it off.

His allegiances may change, but our feelings for him certainly don't!

He's a badass warrior . . .

But also makes a dignified nobleman.

His character's journey has taken him everywhere — including right into our hearts.

He doesn't need riches and finery to look powerful and commanding, but it sure doesn't hurt.

Long live our favorite Vikings character, Rollo!

And Standen isn't exactly hard to look at in real life, either.

He can rock a tailored suit with ease.

But he's also happy to go casual in a t-shirt.

Sometimes he wears his hair long and shaggy . . .

He's even donned a man bun once or twice.

But he's also strikingly handsome with a short, cropped hairstyle.

He's known for being enthusiastic and charming with his fans.

And he's just as passionate about his acting projects as we are.

He's got a special bond with his costars after years of "fighting" alongside them.

And though we adore him on Vikings, we're also excited to see what else Standen has in store.

Hopefully, he'll work on a project that requires these glasses.

Up next, he's starring as the lead in a TV prequel to the Taken films.

We're sure excited to see his "particular set of skills."

We can't wait to see more of this handsome face on our TV screens!
