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?

Julian Clary

He was SO beautiful when he was a young man.

Yes he was .

I prefer Cary Grant, I've always thought he was absolutely gorgeous. Along with Dean Martin, who is my absolute favourite singer too! 😍

I agree with you. Cary Grant was handsome at every age, as was Paul Newman.
Dean Martin's voice is like a warm smile.

Hahaha, can you imagine knowing someone in real life pulling that expression? We'd all be quietly sick and say "ew, no"..

Really? I'd be more likely to say hell yes!

Absolutely agree, Clint was gorgeous. My first TV crush when he was in Rawhide. Nowadays he looks like he's been dug up! Oh well, I suppose we can't all be like fine wine 😂🍷

To be fair, he's in his 90s. And not a very nice person. But back in the old days, absolutely beautiful.

Not bad but it’s James Dean for me

lindyloo57 · 10/10/2024 19:29

Elvis for me

spiritgoat · 10/10/2024 19:34

Some proper hotties here.

I'll throw Manu Bennett in the mix, but specifically dressed as Crixus

Marlon Brando when young

God yes, a young Marlon Brando has to qualify as one of the most handsome men to ever walk the earth.

Tom Hardy in the right role can look unbelievable, but then he ruins it with the unwashed probable dope smoker look he favours half the time. I’ve been rewatching Taboo recently though and fuck me he’s attractive in that.

Henry Cavill is probably the closest to the old matinee idol actors nowadays, though he looks better all messed up in The Witcher than in a suit - he’s almost so handsome it leaves you slightly cold.

JaffaCake70 · 10/10/2024 19:40

Alain Delon was delicious in his heyday

Maxstress3 · 10/10/2024 19:48

Gregory Peck and Tony Curtis definetly

pebbles8811 · 10/10/2024 19:50

@Codlingmoths try prime for old movies they usually have a few on there

Matt Dillon does not get enough love especially in his younger year he was gorgeous

Incognito1975 · 10/10/2024 19:54

I remember thinking he was gorgeous and quite suprised when I found out he was gay. He didn’t have the same appeal for me after that.

autienotnaughty · 09/10/2024 09:37

Paul Newman
Brad Pitt
Chris Hemsworth
James Dean
George Clooney

When they were in their twenties.

I think you missed out James Norton and Jason statham 😊 and Richard Harris had lovely eyes

Pippetypoppity · 10/10/2024 20:00

Absolutely loving discovering all the other nominations. Gregory Peck maybe has the most mentions as probably the most stunning man who ever lived? He was the archetypal definition of the Matinee idol. Also Alain Delon and Paul Newman. They had that sexy insouciance and those irresistible blue grey take me to bed eyes of course.

Sorry no, looked at lots of images on Google.

My heart has always been a young Paul Newman's. Now he was a gift from god.

Definitely ooh and Ben Murphy! He was another one absolutely gorgeous!

Sharptonguedwoman · 10/10/2024 20:06

I think he was quite short. Had to stand on a box.

Sometimesright · 10/10/2024 20:07

Rocknrollstar · 09/10/2024 09:57

Cary Grant, Paul Newman, steve Macqueen and Robert Redford for me! Quite like Sam Neil too.

Sam Neil is getting better as he gets older imo😊

Ooh, I love a square jaw. I think Oliver Reed in his younger days was absolutely stunning. Those eye, Jesus. But you only get a second to swoon before you remember he was a complete thug.

Forgot about him!

Sometimesright · 10/10/2024 20:19

Oliver Tobias was my crush late 70’s. He played The stud when the made the Jackie Collins book in to a tv series.

Pippetypoppity · 09/10/2024 09:17

This photo did it for me 🤣! Deffo got a thing for old fashioned ‘mens men’ as they called them. Funnily enough tho he was later rumoured to have been bi. Cary Grant and he had a Bromance. So quite ‘progress’ for his time I guess. I’m spending far too much time gazing at him on my phone now 🤣🤣🤣. Must get on!!

He looks a bit like the guy who plays Reacher in the TV series. Alan Ritchson. Mmmmmmm

Gah you Gregory Pecked before I could! Surely one of the most handsome men ever 😍.

Definitely! Swoons 😂
