alaric I think the opposite!!

MrsTerryPratchett · 06/04/2019 00:03

I could not disagree more @alaric77

The hairless, characterless, Ken-doll six packs do absolutely nothing for me. And in the olden days they were expected to have lovely voices as well.

How about Jean Gabin? Good enough for Marlene Dietrich to shag!

Agree MrsTerry - and they had better clothes as well!

kalinkafoxtrot45 · 06/04/2019 00:08

Errol Flynn - yes please

So much this. And they were expected to be charming and funny.

Which is why Jason Statham I get but Taylor Lautner I don't.

And if you took Marlon Brando and gave him hair, make-up, teeth whitening, personal trainers, fake tan and Photoshop, you'd get Channing Tatum on a very good day.

Except Brando could act.

Well who do you like?

PrivateIsles · 06/04/2019 00:17

I was just thinking that - what would eg wholesome everyman James Stewart look like if he was in Hollywood now? I think faces had more character and individuality back in the day. I am sounding ancient. But that appeals to me much more than the current crop. But as you say alaric each to their own!! Fully agree with that!

Paul Rudd is total 'boy next door'. I think he's nice but not a head turner.

hazandduck · 06/04/2019 00:26

@Privateisles that picture of Jimmy is gorgeous. He just had so much personality, completely funny and charming and a gent. Just loved him.

shivermetimbers77 · 06/04/2019 00:28

I'm just going to leave this here..

Dirk Bogarde. Dont care if he was gay, i never had a chance anyway.

I'd take Mags over Morten any day. Plus Morten has some very weird views about abortion.

Billy Zane was on my laminated list and someone once said, "oh, isn't be gay?". My response was, "yes, the reason a rich, gorgeous, American Hollywood actor won't shag me is going to be because he's gay. Right".
