Ok, so I wasn't around then but still, he was so goodlooking. Who knew?

Who else have I been missing out on?

@MummyMayo1988 😍oooh thank you for posting him! I adored him as Miles Colby and in Greece. I don't fancy many celebrities but oh my he was stunning.

Young Ryan O Neal

Young Anthony Hopkins reminds me of David Hemmings (in Blow Up, already mentioned earlier in the thread)

Very difficult to choose a top 3, so I vote that we can have them all, from whichever era we want. Well, in our fantasies, anyway.

Jeez, this thread makes me feel old! Grin Photos of Harrison Ford from the 70's - have some of you never SEEN the original Star Wars? Some of us grew up salivating over Christopher Walken in The Dead Zone (1983) and that rubbish Bond film where he was Max Zorrin. Grin

Craggy actors in their 70's were young and hot(ter) 30 years ago shock! Grin

@MarchingOn

There are so many undeniably beautiful men already mentioned on this thread (my mum took me to see Camelot as a very young child and I fell in love with Franco Nero, but (being about 6 at the time) I thought that he was Irish and called Frank O'Nero) 😁 so I'd like to bring to the party, somewhat late, Peter O'Toole (those fabulous sexy eyes) and Anthony Hopkins. Oh, and Robert Powell in Jesus of Nazareth was so beautiful.
Oh yes Robert Powell as Jesus ! I had forgotten.

I give you a young Bruce Springsteen...
I was just about to say the same. Gorgeous gorgeous man

I'd give him two thumbs up

It makes suddenly feel old as I still think of 2000 as a couple of years ago, but I can't beat a bit of Russell Crowe in Gladiator

Ok, maybe Josh Hartnett instead.

@liverdoc

And (bear in mind I am the experienced side of 50...) OLIVER TOBIAS... He was(I think?) Smuggler? And a very saucy film with Joan Collins back in the day
He was Arthur of the Britons as well, stunning looking man. Can I add the totally beautiful Timothy Dalton? Lovely green eyes and an excellent actor too.
Skyll · 28/11/2021 21:43

Oliver Tobias. Yes indeed.

Young Eddie Kidd anyone or is he all mine?

Timothy was gorgeous in The Lion in Winter. And totally held his own against the likes of Hepburn and O'Toole at only 21!

I mean David Bowie was always a looker, but this mugshot of him taken in 1976 takes it to a completely different level. It's just a police mugshot, not a promotional shot!

Young Paul Walker, he was a beautiful man

Young Joy of Painting Bob Ross is the best one here. You can’t put James Dean and Cary Grant and most of the other blokes on a ‘why didn’t anyone tell me they were hot when they were young?’ thread. Though I am enjoying it a LOT anyway. Thanks for the Robert Plant memories…

Olliesocks · 28/11/2021 22:21

@Carlissa

Robert Downey Jr

Still would to be fair

His lips are perfect.

I forgot about the time RDJ was in an . He's weirdly sexy in it!

Gotaprettypup · 28/11/2021 22:27
