Random, I know.

Anyone else just fancy the arse off celebrities but from years ago or even before you were born?

I have such a thing for Roland Orzabal of Tears for Fears, but only in their early 80's era, specifically in the "Head Over Heels" video which would have been released when I was about two.

Also George Peppard circa 1960's and David Cassidy in the 70's (might have read too many of my mums vintage Jackie annuals in my teens.)

I'm hoping it isn't just me!

Another vote for Paul Newman, the man was utterly beautiful.

Paul Newman, Elvis, David Cassidy, Rock Hudson, James Dean, Marilyn Monroe Louise Brooks, Antony Perkins, Doris Day, Jim Morrison.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 28/06/2021 20:10

Oh yes, George Peppard in Breakfast at Tiffanys is perfection and Robert Donat in The 39 Steps is rather delicious too.

JeSuisPrest · 28/06/2021 20:12

Tom Selleck. I'd bury my head in that chest hair and never come up for air Grin

MolyHolyGuacamole · 28/06/2021 20:13

Larry Hagman 😍 (as Major Nelson£

Christopher Plummer (as Captain von Trapp)

Gregory Peck (as Atticus Finch)

I'm from the 80s Grin

@Lampzade

Gregory Peck- watched ‘To Kill A Mockingbird’ at secondary school and thought that he was amazing
I think it's his voice that mainly did it for me

Young Stalin. Pity about all the murdering.

Ooh young Harrison Ford, Paul Newman, Richard Gere.

Also young Stalin, but that's a bit problematic.

TheMotherlode · 28/06/2021 20:16

Harrison Ford circa Raiders of the Lost Ark

StressyMcStressFace · 28/06/2021 20:17

I also came on to say Paul Newman and was also going to use the description of beautiful. He was utterly beautiful.

Robert Redford in Barefoot in the Park
Gregory Peck in Roman Holiday
Christopher Plummer in SoM

InTheCludgie · 28/06/2021 20:28

Burt Lancaster and Gene Kelly, also Howard Keel. Rear Window is a fab film Doublestar but it starred Jimmy Stewart not Cary Grant Smile

Cocolapew · 28/06/2021 20:33

This is my favourite Paul Newman photo

Young Al Pacino
Serpico Al Pacino 😍

Gregory Peck - amazing voice and he had the longest legs. One of my favourite films was Roman Holiday starring him and Audrey Hepburn.

SwedishEdith · 28/06/2021 20:40

Young Paul McCartney when he's smoking.

Oh, I always mix those two up for some reason! I actually fancy them both Grin

CheerfulBunny · 28/06/2021 20:41

Clark Gable, even as a little girl. I remember watching Gone with the Wind and being transfixed.
Elvis might be the most beautiful man who ever lived. Those pictures of him kissing a girl with his tongue... brrrrrr! Blush

LittleDidSheKnow · 28/06/2021 20:42

@OverByYer

Steve McQueen
Oh me too! We watched The Great Escape a few weeks ago and I came over all afluster!

As I did with Anthony Perkins when watching Psycho. Stunning looking man.

YY to Jim Morrison. And a young Keith Richards.

My other one is a younger (but not necessarily too much younger) David Attenborough!

JaneJeffer · 28/06/2021 20:42

James Dean
