Is this the most stunning man who ever lived?

[Pippetypoppity]

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?

Yes! He's perfection.

I've been tirelessly googling every name mentioned, and this is the winner for me so far, I give you a young Alain Delon:

No.

He just looks like a bog standard bloke.

Dylan on this years Bake Off on the other hand.... even my husband said he's a beautiful man! 🤣

James ( not Josh) Brolin for me!
In more recent years David Essex
And even more recently - bit weird though as they are younger than my sons and not much older than eldest grandson - Alan Leech Downtown Abbey and the fabulously attractive Dylan from the bake off
Off to find James Brolin photo

I’m amazed no one has mentioned the very beautiful Nikolaj Coster-Waldau

I was just coming on to mention him. Ruggedly beautiful.

Exactly what I thought!

Wow, looks a lot like Christian Bale.

Here's Che, causing a revolution in my heart (pants)

Nah, Alan Rickman and Oliver Goodwill for me. Alan gets extra points for being a lovely human being too. Someone on MN relayed a tale of her and her friend getting drunk with him and then him getting them a taxi. Still sad he's no longer with us. 🥺

He certainly does! I think he’s been asked about the resemblance and apparently they aren’t related

Side by side James Brolin and Christian Bale

A good few pages ago, a PP mentioned Rik Mayall. God yes, he was beautiful.

And all the more beautiful for taking on mostly absolutely-not-beautiful (but brilliant) roles. Even Lord Flashheart didn’t use his natural beauty.

I think he’s the sleb whose death I’m most sad about.

It’s not Lewis Hamilton or Maro Itoje, so no.

Don Johnson was quite the heartthrob in his Miami Vice days.

Pastel coloured trousers and jackets with the sleeves rolled up, loafers with no socks. He was quite the fashion plate in the mid 80s.

Or Rock Hudson in All That Heaven Allowed.

You got there first!

I know he was meant to be physically attractive but his eyes in that pic would give me the creeps even if I didn't know who he was. Strange, because a lot of utterly vile people look totally OK, don't they?

Hi Mum

My aunt worked for Pan Am in the 1960's .They loved her British accent so she worked in first class. She said that Rock Hutson was her favorite passenger, he looked even better in real life. He also smelt divine, she never wanted to believe that he was gay. This made me think of her today, thank you @Andylion ❤️

Sorry, can't read all through 346 replies. Randolph Scott was ok but not as lovely as Richard Widmark.

I went with my mother to see Paul Newman in 'Hud'. Hey. Imagine his blue eyes being insolent when he made Patricia Neale an offer she might or might not have refused!
