Tom hiddleston

LavenderHaze19 · 10/02/2024 17:00

I came on here to say Tom Hiddleston and I see I’m far from the first.

I fancy Cillian Murphy as Tommy Shelby but not in any other context.

I think Adam Driver is quite sexy, he has that ugly/attractive thing going on.

I agree about Channing Tatum, he's desperately plain. Adam Driver is another one I dont at all see the appeal of although I do think he's a good actor.

Absolutely Adam driver is a phenomenal actor I just don't get it when people say he good looking.

SomeCatFromJapan · 10/02/2024 16:54

I think Cillian Murphy was beautiful but he doesn't have the sort of looks that translate well into middle age.
Willem Defoe on the other hand remains gorgeous.

Dacadactyl · 10/02/2024 16:53

Kate Moss is gorgeous

Don't get:

Tom Hardy, Channing Tatum, Tom Hiddleston

Also don't get Jennifer Aniston at all. I've seen better looking women in dressing gowns in ASDA.

sorestupid · 10/02/2024 16:48

Ryan Reynolds looks like a constipated meerkat to me.

He looks like he would wear panstick, a richer Dale Winton!

Comedycook · 10/02/2024 16:47

Gwyneth Paltrow.

sorestupid · 10/02/2024 16:46

Tom Hardy is hot!

And Henry Cavill in the Tudors

Beyoncé has legs like tree trunks.

A) she doesn't
B) why would that make a difference to whether her face is beautiful or not?

sorestupid · 10/02/2024 16:44

I do think a lot of famous people have ‘gloss’ though that sets them apart from the rest of us, and that can make a lot of them quite mesmerising if you see them in the flesh. I think it comes from expensive skincare and clothing and having regular treatments by professionals rather than trying to cram in some self care alongside a full time low paid job and other commitments. I live in London so sometimes see some famous/very rich people out and about and even the less attractive ones have this glossy vibe that makes them look slightly different.

This is true, it's the gloss of wealth.

Seriously? How can you say that? OMG, Boyonce is beyond stunning. She's on another level of total gorgeousness!!! And I say that as a 48 year old woman!

Tom Hardy - just don't get it
Henry Cavill - lived him in The Witcher but just find him so smarmy in real life
Cillian Murphy - same boat as Tom Hardy

To me, Timothee Chalamet is like a glass vase. You can look at the glass vase and say “Oh, that’s beautiful,” but it looks so thin and delicate that you might be a little afraid to touch it. And you definitely don’t want to have sex with it.

I agree! He's mesmerising in The King. But if i was his Princess i'd wrap him up in a blanket and get him a hot meal 😂

He has bird-thin thighs and a tiny bum. When there’s that brief shot of him naked from behind in Call Me By Your Name, I was like, “Dear God, there’s no flesh there.”

Tattletwat · 10/02/2024 16:35

Jeremy Allen white from the bear.

Adam driver we were meant to believe he was. Kid of Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher in the Star wars films.

Women Emma Watson.

I watched the Bodyguard for the first time recent and was wondering about Kevin Costner, he was considered a major sex symbol in the 90s ? I don't really see it, plus his acting was pretty wooden.

Getthethrowonthesofa · 10/02/2024 16:28

Same with Daniel Craig. Daniel Craig as bond, absolutely. Daniel as Daniel , nope. Watched him being interviewed once, what a bloody diva . Dudes proper punching with Rachel Weisz. Who comes across as a thoroughly normal woman. I can only imagine she must tell him to stfu on the regular.

also Russel Crowe, as someone else said, Russell in gladiator, yes please. Russel as Russel. Not so much. Chubby Russel with his much younger girlfriends, just nope.

It's Timotheé Chalamet. Poor boy, you don't find him attractive and you've butchered his name!!! 😂

Harry Styles.

Wouldn't look twice at him in the street and i've thought that since Cowell bunged all the failures together in x factor.

<ducks>

I think Brad Pitt only just got attractive in the last decade. I wasn’t into his 1990s pretty-boy phase. Jason Momoa has way too many muscles and Channing Tatum’s neck puts me off.

When it comes to women, I don’t understand why women think Jennifer Aniston is so beautiful - and I say women, because her looks don’t really seem to ping on men’s radars. She’s pretty, and she’s aged well, but she’s not a stunning beauty.

Re: Benedict Cumberbatch, I think his voice is part of the attraction. If you’re just looking at a picture of him, it doesn’t quite communicate all of his appeal.

WibblyWobblyWeeble · 10/02/2024 16:22

Also Tom Hardy and Channing Tatum.
