Which “hot” people don’t you fancy?

Just for fun….

Which famous people that are known by many as being sexy do you just not feel the same way about?

For me it’s Keira Knightley and Colin Firth…

I just really can’t see what the fuss is about no matter how many time I look at photos of them or see them in films 😂

I very rarely fancy people on TV tbh, but I did think Tom Hardy was alright until I saw THAT white underpants photoshoot 🤮

Everyone else on this thread I agree with. I did fancy Joe Strummer and Kurt Cobain back in the day but I think that was more personality and talent based

My Ex was in Pete’s class at school.

Apparently he was the school weirdo who used to hang out in the common room on his own writing lyrics 😂

Amazing!! I rest my case.

Yep, joining you with this one!

It’s the voice 🥰

David Beckham has certainly improved as he got older.
Just a pity he sounds like a toddler when he talks.

I saw most of the men listed here in an 'Uglyhot' article last week actually. Basically a list of men who aren't attractive but lots of people fancy them just because they have good songs/movies and a nice personality. There was:

Ryan Reynolds
Ryan Gosling
Jake Gyllenhall
Harry Styles
Colin Firth
Adam Driver
The guy who plays Loki in marvel movies

KLFisgonnarockya · 13/09/2022 22:10

I don’t t(ink I’ve ever fancied a conventionally attractive person. I don’t like men who look like they’ve been hewn from rock. My teenage crushes were Dan from Roseanne, John Candy and David Essex! 😁

Jayneisagirlsname · 13/09/2022 22:10

Henry Cavill. I can objectively see his features are well formed but he is so cold behind the eyes.

Give me a warm smile like Brendan Fraser any day of the week!

notprincehamlet · 13/09/2022 22:11

Chris Hemsworth - he has all the charisma of a tax return

David Essex - adore him. Just the sight of a neckerchief gets me flustered!

I still have a soft spot for Captain James T. Kirk (when he was James T. Kirk, not when he was TJ Hooker).

Cece92 · 13/09/2022 22:13

I honestly don't find many celebs hot. The only ones I can honestly soooo 'come to momma' are Johnny depp, Colin firth and high grant

BirmaBrite · 13/09/2022 22:15

Most of the current crop of 'hot' men are not nearly hirsute enough for me, I suspect some are, but do away with their lovely furriness !

If I was 30 years younger I would probably fancy Lewis Capaldi, because he is funny and has an endearing enthusiasm, which means it might not be your best ever, but he will have almost died trying Grin

TwoMonthsOff · 13/09/2022 22:15

All of them/ nobody
but I’m a dried up old husk 🌽happily
aware of missing point of thread 😭
but even when I was 20 Ryan gosling with that plasticky looking nose and horrible reedy voice ….awful

Mum???? Grin

Jared Leto - I think he's an utter weirdo

Amazing!! I rest my case.

We actually broke up to one of The Libertine’s songs though. Things had been bad for a while between us for a while but it was like the white elephant in the room.

And then one day when were stuck in a traffic jam on the motorway the song: “Music when the lights go out” started playing and the lyrics started…

“….Is it cruel or kind not to speak my mind and to lie to you, rather than hurt you?”

And we just looked at each other with tears in our eyes because that’s when we realised it was over because we were just lying to ourselves and to each other rather than face the truth and cause hurt.

That was probably about 10 years ago now but I have never forgotten the profound effect that song had on us. It just shows how amazing lyrics really can touch your heart.

@Whichwhatnow
Joe especially when singing ‘straight to hell’ and Paul ❤️

Which “hot” people don’t you fancy?
ToffeeNotCoffee · 13/09/2022 22:20

Brad Pitt - um no, I don't get why he's attractive. To me, he's boring looks wise.

Leonardo di Caprio - looks about 12 years old. All. the. time.

David Beckham - his youth loaned him some good looks but lately, nope. Grim. his many tattoos just make his skin look dirty.

Hugh Grant - jeez what a prat.

George Clooney - um sort of ok but never really got why people think he's hot.

Robbie Williams - just looks like a serial killer these days.

Upsidedownagain · 13/09/2022 22:20

Usually prefer off-beat looks rather than classic good looking. But I do like Tom Hardy. I think it can depend on the characters they play though. Like Hugh Grant is sexier in bad boy roles.

I don't go for women but if I did Keira Knightley would be my choice.

Subbaxeo · 13/09/2022 22:23

Choconut · 13/09/2022 18:46

Adam Driver - to me he is really, really unattractive.

Omg, he is just so attractive and sexy.

Have met Henry Cavill and can confirm. Dead behind the eyes. Oh and he's not tall enough for me 🤷🏻‍♀️

theGreatYuan · 13/09/2022 22:25

Oh, I really don't get the fuss over Jennifer Lawrence at all.
