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?

James Purefoy

Also, Richard Gere, especially aged 60ish

Nope but good job we don't all like the same type.

At 76!

Yes to Gregory Peck and Cary Grant.

A left-field addition perhaps, but I’ve always been a bit swoony over the war poet, Rupert Brooke.

Chickoletta · 11/10/2024 07:24

Photo didn’t attach. Here’s Rupert..

Scott Walker,
Adian Turner.
Robert Redford.
Steve mc Queen.
Robert Plant.
Chris Hemsworth,
Brad Pitt.
Paul Newman.
Alan Rickman.
Obviously I've had a misspent youth !!!

Juced · 11/10/2024 07:53

Nah…but a young Marlon Brando 😜

FrostyMorn · 11/10/2024 07:58

Josh Homme, aka the Ginger Elvis, in his prime about a decade ago!

Has anyone mentioned Kurt Cobain? He was a beautiful man.

Have enjoyed googling a load of your suggestions and being baffled and delighted in equal measure!

I had a thing for Kris Kristofferson, he died recently 😔 😢

He Was so sexy in Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore.

MrsJoanDanvers · 11/10/2024 08:08

A young guy who I think isn’t classically beautiful but is intensely attractive is Jack O’Connell

I have a soft spot for Viggo Mortensen - yes, he of LOTR fame. He is just so talented it just isn't fair to other people. It really isn't.

You just know at the end of TROTK, when he was kissing Liv Tyler, he was really kissing her.

Getting back to the topic though - he's handsome and he's incredibly talented too.

Ted was also a looker.

Even if he wasn’t a monster that face would give me the creeps.

No but I do love a rolled up short sleeve - not short sleeves!

God yes; the difference! Rolled up manly, devil may care, short sleeve, my mum bought them for me.

Bwahahaha. Who wants to wash shirts more often because the cuffs are so grubby? Also, I don't know how to turn a cuff when it gets frayed.

These manly men are just avoiding that.

Next question...lumberjack shirts, yes or no? 😁

Good choice!!!

You can probably tell by my username I'm a fan of his stuff 😂

I've always been a Sam girl. Jared Padalaki is the most gorgeous man I have laid eyes on ....closely followed by Morton Harket from A-ha!

MrsDmitriTippensKrushnic · 11/10/2024 09:05

A few years ago I would have agreed with a lot of these, and also added Seb Stan and my husband (see user name) but my daughter got me into Kdrama and Kmusic back in 2019 and my phone is now filled with the most beautiful pictures - like art.

I can kind of get most of these as objectively attractive even if they're far from my type but Paul McCartney?? Really?

Don't understand the Elvis love either. His face just looks kind of squishy/blobby to me, even as a young man.

Paul McCartney has no bone structure, his face looks like a kids toy, just droopy and soft.
Elvis, I know what you mean, but those eyes. That smile.

Adrian Pasdar & Pej Vahdat.

You say that, but then there's this...

Still no. Drippy looking.

EthelMcUnready · 11/10/2024 09:25

NorthernLiner · 09/10/2024 09:22

Of course not.

Paul Newman was.

Yes!! But when he was late 40's/early 50's (my age coincidentally 😉~ never let it be said that I am not age appropriate...). Think "The Towering Inferno" and "Butch Cassidy". Perfection 🤗

Opened thread expecting to see a picture of Elvis, it's not, so closing thread.

Absolutely 💯 In his 'glory days', Elvis was utterly, utterly beautiful!!

It was more than just his looks though...he was so compelling. Watching him perform (either musically or in a film) was mesmerising.

He was completely screwed over by Tom Parker though, which ultimately ruined him. Such a devastating story 😢

User100000000000 · 11/10/2024 09:38

@MrsDmitriTippensKrushnic Genuine question - are these men or women?

Yirk · 11/10/2024 09:39

I wondered that but was afraid to ask 🤣
