Uh, sorry, but I don't think Jeremy Irons looks repulsive... (Clears her throat and gets serious again) I thought Day-Lewis just because he can manage that ascetic look and *is* dark-haired and black-eyed without wigs, contact lenses etc.

I'd say that, instead of Dogma's Metatron, she might have had in mind Colonel Brandon from "Sense and Sensibility"- just a wild guess though, becuase Brandon is *the*  romantic type, disillusioned, a little bitter, but ready to let himself convince by a lovingly devoted little woman (eurgh!)
