Who floats your boat?

I think Nathaniel Hawthorne (19th century American novelist) is a bit of a dish.

And if we’re going back even further, like a few millennia, then Alexander the Great gets my vote too 😆

Young Joe Biden

I know one of his relatives, and his young cousin, who was the absolute spitting image of young Joe Biden, was in a teenage love triangle with my sister. But she was actually hankering after another guy.

Prince William of Gloucester looked very much like his mother, the former Lady Alice Montagu Douglas Scott.

Oh absolutely! And a nice guy too, by all accounts 😍

My dad met him once in CA, dad was admiring a bike, which turned out to be owned by Paul Newman. They started talking and he told my dad he was an actor and was going to be in a movie, “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid”. Dad said they talked for 45 minutes and that he was down to earth and so lovely.

I was once staggered to see some 1970s TV footage of a quite remarkably hot Alistair Darling...

Alain Delon is still alive.

To qualify for Historical Hottie status you surely have to have died at least 50 years ago.
