Is this the most stunning man who ever lived?

I’ve just discovered an actor from the 1940s and 50s called Randolph Scott. He was super famous then - understandably - but seems to be much less well known now. Well suffice it to say my ‘Bobby socks’ are well and truly blown off! What do we all think?

Robert Redford as Hubble in the Way we were. Magnificent.
Brad Pitt in that episode of Friends.
But yes , Paul Newman is good.
The most manly man ever, Sir Tom in his Vegas heyday .
He makes a pretty fine octogenarian too!

Yes, went the Liverpool Comic Con!!

You know who I think is absolutely stunning irl - Ruth Connell. Rowena is one of my favourite characters anyway but she is just beautiful too!

I went to 2 Asylum conventions in Birmingham a few years ago now and met both Jenson and Jared. Both gorgeous, as was Misha Collins 😍But Jensen was something else. He was just stunning and so nice too. Ruth Connell is absolutely stunning too and we were also surprised by how small she was! 😂She is a little pocket rocket but she was one of my faves.

StaunchMomma · 09/10/2024 14:19

I don't find him attractive at all. He looks like an average uncle! But then I don't think many of the ones posters have suggested are, especially eg Harrison Ford etc.

That felon was hot, in fairness. Also Jude Law.

I'm shocked nobody has posted Rob Lowe or Matt Dillon.

I'm kind of hoping the rumours of looking into a season 16 are true, as I'm curious what they would do for it. Would it be a time in between Ep 19 and 20 of final season, would it be after then and something to do with Jack needing help, would it be based on one of the multi verses where the Series finale didn't happen! What could it be!?!

Woah is this true?
They need to redo that rushed utter bollocks ending! I watched it from the 1st episode every week, me&by best friend together, we loved it, but that ending and how they portrayed Dean in the last 2 series I hated it! My best friend didn't, she didn't love it, but she didn't hate it.

CurlewKate · 09/10/2024 14:58

@Uricon2 it was all that masculinity but the feminine mouth....

I might have started a little thread in Telly Addicts. Grin All welcome!

I hope so too. The rumours are flying and I am so hoping they bring it back. There has been a massive Winchester sized hole in my life since it ended. 😂

Oh YES. Timothy Olyphant is absolutely beautiful. I might have to watch Catch and Release again.

Watch Justified and treat yourself!

I always think there's a big difference between appreciating classically handsome men and finding them sexually attractive.

I can see the symmetrical beauty in the faces of Paul Newman, Robert Redford, Brad Pitt etc but I don't get the fanny gallops from them at all.

Michael Hutchence or older Robert Downey Jnr while nowhere near as conventionally handsome, def ring my bell.

NonComm · 09/10/2024 15:29

Santiago Cabrera, Alain Delon, Simon Jones the cricketer, 1970's Clint Eastwood - all totally lush. Plus Paul McCartney looked very good with a beard in the 60/80's.
Steve McQueen and Paul Newman in the Towering Inferno just looked supercool although I went off Paul Newman when I found out how he treated his previous wife and family.

You and I would get on famously, and when I saw you had also mentioned Rufus Sewell I wondered if you are in fact me. For the forearm fetishists.

Oh. Heck. Yes.

But I still wouldn't climb over Raza Jaffrey to get to him.

TotteringonGently · 09/10/2024 15:35

I found that photo in ten seconds but then spent another five just staring at pictures of this beautiful man.

Dear god I read that as Mick Hucknall not Michael Hutchence for some reason and was seriously worried for your sanity 😅

Victoriancat · 09/10/2024 15:44

David Dastmalchian for me 🤤

GogLais · 09/10/2024 16:28

I can understand the forearm thing. The photo of Rufus Sewell is um .... um... phwoarrBlush but his face is too.

Did somebody mention forearms?

I forgot. Face immaterial. Only forearms count. ..

TENSsion · 09/10/2024 16:49

I’ve always found men of generations before more attractive than current celebrities. James Dean, Marlin Brando, Dean Martin have always made me swoon. Now I’m 37 and I’m starting to get the attraction with older men. Sam Elliot for example ☺️

My next question is where to find old movies? I Googled Netflix old movies but didn’t really get any hits. Where do you look?

If your telly is still set up to get telly as it's broadcast then Channel 82 on Freeview - Talking Pictures is amazing for old cinema. It was clearly set up for old people but I know a few film curators and journalists who are obsessed with it.

Also iplayer > movies > classic selection has a load of movies from RKO studio, some absolute classics in there.

There are also lots on Youtube. You could do something like search for 100 best film noirs and then see what's on there.

Oh yes! Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones is perfect!

CollaterlieSistersSister · 09/10/2024 09:13

Not in my opinion, but ‘stunning’ is subjective innit.

His name just reminds me of the brilliant Blazing Saddles (“just give me 24 hours, you’d do it for Randolph Scott”).

Mind you, I rather like the young Bing Crosby, so
I may be an outlier.

My first thought was also that line in Blazing Saddles! 😂

CurlewKate · 09/10/2024 18:04

Harrison Ford at his sexiest…

Totally.

To put a different spin on the OP, I've never understood the attraction of Bruce Willis and Kevin Costner.
