This is a kind of filler story in the Enquirer. I would like to hear more specific stories about Dinklage’s youthful conquests, but I love Peter Dinklage so much that I’m having a lot of fun imagining the details. Apparently Game of Thrones actor Dinklage was a big womanizer in college and could easily charm just about any coed into bed. He’s 42 and a family man now though and has been married to his first wife, theatre director Erica Schmidt, since 2005. Dinkalge’s story at the Globes about leaving his baby daughter alone with a babysitter for the first time was particularly touching to me. Back in the day, though, Dinklage could pull as many woman as he wanted. (As I’m sure he could now if he had the inclination.) Here’s part of the Enquirer’s report:
Award winning actor Peter Dinklage stands just 4-foot-5, but he was a big man on campus during his college years!
[Dinklage] played up his best assets to win hearts at Vermont’s Bennington College, sources say.
“I tend to be a big flirt. I like to make people laugh,” the blue-eyed lady-killer divulged.
As for Bennington, “it was a debauched, crazy school,” he said. “I loved it. Three girls to every guy – it was very free.”
With his dark wavy hair and bright blue eyes, the pint-sized Romeo cut a wide swath among the Bennington coeds, sources say.
“Pete learned how to use his good looks and charm to his advantage,” an insider told The Enquirer. “He never wanted anyone to feel bad for him, and he never felt any different from a normal-size person.
“Pete always joked with his buddies that all hehad to do was keep his dark hair flowing and blue eyes open and he could get any girl he wanted – and he did!…
“Peter grew up in a family that encouraged self confidence,” said the insider. “But he is well aware of the stigma and bullying little people face in today’s society.
“He’s determined to do whatever he can to erase the prejudice and ‘midget’ stereotypes.”

Dinklage seems to be the first well known, highly acclaimed actor that’s a little person. Of course the actor who broke that very long standing barrier had to have exceptional talent and charisma. He just exudes subtle charm and is incredibly sexy. A lot of us are surprised that we’re attracted to a little person, but Dinklage seems to take it as a given. He’s the type of guy who would blow off the hottest girl in the room and make her wonder what was wrong with her. I really hope that we never hear about any issues between him and his wife. I hope they’re solid and that his success and fame doesn’t affect their marriage at all.
As for the question in the title, I so would! I just got kind of warm thinking about him. He needs to get his mop top cut though. I think he’s hotter with shorter dark hair.
Here’s Dinklage in 2003 at the Elf premiere. Hot!
