He just is though! Flicked over to the greatest 80s songs programme and was reminded anew how perfect he was/is!

I loved the film The Outsiders - so many of what would become the Brat Pack in it, and Tom Cruise pre whatever dental work he had to make his teeth into that iconic Cruise smile Grin

I was a big Swayze fan, largely because of Dirty Dancing, I'll admit, but watching Point Break last night reminded me that he had a really odd walk!

John Taylor has done some great Instagram lives over lockdown explaining all the bass lines from Duran Duran tracks and doing tutorials. He also did a nice one on his 60th birthday not dull at all.

George was so beautiful, he was another that did the ugly duckling thing.

Playing Take on Me right now, and still straining like a strangled cat for that note!

ImnotCarolineHirons · 01/01/2021 13:38

Gosh yes Adam Ant was lush wasn't he? I loved that about the New Romantics as an early teen - all those ruffles and eyeliner but still very manly.

I love this kind of thread.

I agree that Martin Kemp is looking very good.

I wont add any of mine. I have strange taste in men apparently.

JohnMcClane · 01/01/2021 14:13

Did you ever see when Roman Kemp was on First Dates? Poor lad, hes a good looking boy but he was talking to his date about his famous parents (obviously she hadn't heard of them) and he showed her a picture of them. Her face lit up and you could tell exactly what she was thinking😉

I was thinking it must be tough taking your girlfriend home to meet your 100% fox of a father. 😂

I dont wanna call Martin Kemp a "Dilf" (because a really hate that term) but he still is very good looking and rocking the grey hair.

Twixmas · 01/01/2021 14:19

I saw him in concert a few years ago and I swear he hadn't aged a bit. Absolutely beautiful man 😍

ItsCovidOutThereThisChristmas · 01/01/2021 14:50

YANBU. He was (and is) lovely Smile

ItsCovidOutThereThisChristmas · 01/01/2021 14:55

@Sparklingbrook

Not a musician but another beautiful man from way back when...
I absolutely loved Michael Praed and had a poster on my wall 😳
Sparklingbrook · 01/01/2021 14:58

I had a poster too @ItsCovidOutThereThisChristmas Grin. He turned up in Emmerdale recently but he wasn't as swashbuckling and the long hair was no more, sadly.

MarieIVanArkleStinks · 01/01/2021 15:02

He did have something of the look of Patrick Swayze, and I always found Swayze a very attractive man (in Point Break especially). From what I've read of Harket though he's very conservative and aggressively right-wing, anti-abortion etc. Those are not qualities I could ever find appealing.

I had a huge crush on Rik Mayall though ...

MarieIVanArkleStinks · 01/01/2021 15:03

But James Spader's white suit!? Ye gads ....

Lovely Rik. Heartbroken he's no longer with us.

He was so handsome. His face looks chiseled. His aged well.
That video for ' take on me' was pure class and so different to other ones that were around at the time.

IsFuzzyBeagMise · 01/01/2021 15:13

YANBU op.

SaguaroBlossom · 01/01/2021 15:47

Marti Pellow always had such a lovely infectious smile. I once heard him described as ‘looking like he had a naughty secret’. I thought that was brilliant. Gorgeous man.

OhWhyNot · 01/01/2021 16:03

I had a crush on him when I was about 13

When I went to see him I’m sure I caught his eye or so I convinced myself

He is still handsome but he does come across as a little odd

PolaDeVeboise · 02/01/2021 09:06

Thanks @Sparklingbrook, came here to post George.

Also, used to LOVE Mark Shaw from Then Jerico, he was like a cross between Morten and JT.

PolaDeVeboise · 02/01/2021 09:12

@PolaDeVeboise omg, I had forgotten him! I had posters and everything - shame their music was crap - thank you so much for the reminder Grin

JohnMcClane · 02/01/2021 14:18

Oh Rik Mayall Woof!!!

SaintGutFree · 02/01/2021 14:31

Mark Shaw was great until he appeared on Reborn in the USA and was a complete arse! (I may have been the only one to watch this show btw)

Pleasure @TornadoOfSouls !

Sadly, I saw it too, @SaintGutFree. Didn't want it to tarnish the beauty that was his face.
