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?

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

I’m with you on that. So gorgeous he was !

He and Cary Grant were featured in some Hollywood article as bachelors who bought a home together. They were gay basically, until they weren't, because at that time Hollywood was a huge closet and intolerant of such things.

Rock Hudson in all those Doris Day films.

He looks like my Dad lol

99RedBallonz · 09/10/2024 09:34

I had to Google him and pretty much every photo of him I see he is with Cary Grant, who is actually better looking.

Paul Newman
Brad Pitt
Chris Hemsworth
James Dean
George Clooney

When they were in their twenties.

I thought it was going to be Alain Delon.

He was extraordinarily handsome. AI couldn't come up with anything better.

beguilingeyes · 09/10/2024 09:37

Gregory Peck, for my money the best looking man ever. Roman Holiday...yum.

Nah, but you know who is? 😍

Bigly, bigly, bigly

Pippetypoppity · 09/10/2024 09:38

Oh my yes! Gregory Peck. He’s absolutely hands down the most beautiful creature to have ever walked this earth. Why didn’t I look at him sooner. Sorry Randolph you’ve been ‘out manned’.

Gregory Peck, yes indeed

Latenightreader · 09/10/2024 09:39

All these mentions of Cary Grant with no acknowledgment of his gorgeousness!

LostittoBostik · 09/10/2024 09:39

Not my bag personally.
Isn't it great that we all have our heads turned by very different things.

SnapdragonToadflax · 09/10/2024 09:40

Not my cup of tea at all, thanks OP. Give me a pretty boy over a square jaw any day. Johnny Depp in the 90s over everyone else.

Demonhunter · 09/10/2024 09:41

Robert Redford is who I think was the most handsome man in his younger years.

Jenson Ackles nowadays nearly gives him a run for his money though.

Conniebygaslight · 09/10/2024 09:42

Up until the the 1930s men always used to wear vests under their shirts, however when Clarke Gable took off his shirt in a scene in 'Gone with the wind' to reveal a bare chest it killed the demand for vests overnight. Imagine being that influential....

MassiveOvaryaction · 09/10/2024 09:43

Keep him. Clint Eastwood (Dirty Harry series) for me.

Tarzan GIF

Have we forgotten Jonny Weissmuller, a.k.a. Tarzan, in his big knickers? 😚

Magicpaintbrush · 09/10/2024 09:43

Paul Newman - sooo handsome, and just as handsome in his 60s as he was in his 30s.

Trinity65 · 09/10/2024 09:45

Terrance Stamp was a lovely looing young Man imho

Threewheeler1 · 09/10/2024 09:45

Yeah, he was amazing and got better with age.

Hotafternoon · 09/10/2024 09:45

NorthernLiner · 09/10/2024 09:22

Of course not.

Paul Newman was.

I'll second that 😄

There is a picture of him with Lee Marvin both leaning against a wall, taken by Terry O'Neil I think and Paul Newman is just stunning. Swoon!😍

whatwouldlilacerullodo · 09/10/2024 09:46

Haven't heard of him, but thanks for brighting up my morning. He's in the same category as Rock Hudson I guess (also gay, and unbelievably hot in All that heaven allows)

TerfTalking · 09/10/2024 09:46

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.

CaptainWentworth · 09/10/2024 09:48

I never knew this guy’s name but I’ve definitely seen him in old movies before - possibly an Astaire and Rogers film? He’s good looking but Gregory Peck is more attractive- also agree with a PP about a young Bing Crosby 😍 There was a lad in my year at school who had that look about him and I whiled away many lessons gazing at him across the room 😂

Mygreyhair · 09/10/2024 09:48

I’m fascinated by the professional name changes these actors used to be more ‘manly’!
George Randolph Scott dropped his George.

Roy Harold Scherer HATED being called Rock Hudson.

Archibald Alec Leach famously changed his name to Cary Grant and later did so legally.
He was married 5 times with his longest marriage only lasting four years, but he lived with Randolph Scott for 12 years….his daughter sued anyone who suggested her father was gay.

What a weird time to be an icon!
