" In Don Jon, Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays a modern-day lothario whose perception of sex from porn informs his lifestyle as he cruises the NY night scene to meet women. JGL&amp;#039;s eponymous character isn&amp;#039;t the first to develop an insatiable fondness for the fairer sex, so with that in mind, Digital Spy takes a look at some of cinema&amp;#039;s most memorable lotharios below... James Bond If any character epitomised the word &amp;#039;lothario&amp;#039;, 007 would probably be it. Part of what has made Bond&amp;#039;s character so iconic is his excessive womanising, whether it be frolicking with Honey Ryder in Jamaica or rolling in the hay with Pussy Galore. In earlier films, his rather unorthodox approach and ease with which he seduced women (sometimes as many as three per film) made him seem like a Casanova figure. However, in recent years, Bond&amp;#039;s relationships have proven more complex and ambiguous (as with Casino Royale&amp;#039;s Vesper Lynd), proving that ladykilling comes with consequences.      Michael Caine in Alfie Much like 007, Michael Caine&amp;#039;s Alfred &amp;#039;Alfie&amp;#039; Elkins has become another British icon through his hedonistic lifestyle and seduction of women. A charming cockney rogue, Alfie&amp;#039;s self-centred lifestyle in balancing his various women, including Julia Foster and Shelly Winters, is turned on its head as he gradually realises the consequences of his actions. &amp;quot;What&amp;#039;s it all about? You know what I mean.&amp;quot; Jude Law also played the character in the 2004 remake.      Heath Ledger in Casanova The classic womaniser, Casanova has been portrayed by various actors on film and TV, most recently by the late Heath Ledger, who took up the mantle in Lasse Halstrom&amp;#039;s 2005 romp. The adventurer&amp;#039;s promiscuous lifestyle is largely frowned upon by Venetian society, and he must marry soon or face exile from Venice. Casanova&amp;#039;s search for the true meaning of love takes him to author Francesca Bruni (Sienna Miller), whose ideals contradict his wild outlook. However, love inevitably follows...      Thomas Hayden Church as Jack Cole in Sideways Thomas Hayden Church&amp;#039;s scene-stealing turn as Jack Cole in Alexander Payne&amp;#039;s 2004 comedy classic Sideways is arguably the highlight of the film. Taken out on a wine tasting weekend by best friend and connoisseur Miles Raymond (Paul Giamatti), actor Jack is about to get married, but is really on the trip to have one more fling before tying the knot. Getting into a wild sexual relationship with Stephanie (Sandra Oh), he ends up with a broken nose after she finds out the truth about his nuptials. Pal Miles&amp;#039;s slowly-blooming relationship with Maya (Virginia Madsen) is also put into jeopardy because of Jack&amp;#039;s actions.      Bill Murray as Don Johnston in Broken Flowers Bill Murray is the ageing, reclusive lothario whose past catches up with him in Jim Jarmusch&amp;#039;s comedy-drama. When he receives a mysterious letter from an ex informing him he has a son, he embarks on an eventful cross-country trip to find both the mother and his estranged offspring. Murray, whose character&amp;#039;s name Don Johnston aptly riffs on his eventful past, delivers one of his greatest (if painfully under-seen) performances in the film.
