Arg, wish I'd not found this! It's too easy to keep scrolling.
Has Harry Belafonte come into it? So many images where he looks lovely and cheeky in the eye (right to his older years).
Strangely, I think he was also my Grandmother's pin-up, though she passed away a good while before I was born.

This fella ?

Cartoon Tarzan did it for me. But no one beat Fox Robin Hood, obviously.

If we're going for cartoon crushes, mine was the King in The Three Musketeers from The Banana Splits Show. Six year old me was always hoping to see him.

GI Elvis was gorgeous.

Show quote history

Black leather Elvis was the best.

I have personal experience

Lionel Logue (George VI's speech therapist) as a young man - he reminds me of Paul Newman. His wife Myrtle was very attractive, too.

The unforgettably beautiful Julian Sands, Room With a View.RIP.

DH was watching Interview With The Vampire the other day , Julian Sands would;ve been the best Lestat (rather than Tom Cruise )
