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?

Randolph Scott was long-rumoured to have been in a relationship with Cary Grant. The two of them were inseparable.

My mum is still bitter about Rock Hudson leading her - and a few million other women - on, when he wasn't available.
Cary Grant seemed to have crushes based on his idealised view of beauty (maybe to do with being told that his mother was dead) - Randolph Scott lived with him for more years than any of his marriages lasted.

This Randolph fella looks like Robson Green to me. Not a patch on Paul Newman or Gregory Peck.

Uricon2 · 09/10/2024 10:03

Throwing in Rufus Sewell too. Would have been a fabulous Bond IMO.
Denzel Washington.

Leopardprintisaneutral · 09/10/2024 10:04

He's handsome, but he's no young James Earl Jones 🥰

Cosycover · 09/10/2024 10:05

Oh god no!

It's 100% Elvis in his prime. Just out of this world handsome!

HootyMcBooby · 09/10/2024 10:10

Young Clint Eastwood is the most beautiful man who ever lived. He wins and you can close this thread now.

Famous for having a romance with Cary Grant

Not for me I’m afraid, you mean this dude? With Carey grant?

Saw Carey Grant's house where he was born when visiting a friend in Bristol.
Has no idea who he was, but he's definitely handsome.

TypingoftheDead · 09/10/2024 10:12

Not bad, OP! Not 100% my cup of tea but does have some appeal.

Callipygion · 09/10/2024 10:12

God no. He does nothing for me.

Have you seen Paul McCartney in his younger days, in his 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s he’s bloody gorgeous. He’s still not bad for an 80+ grandpa 🤣

Nah, I'm more of a Stewart Granger junkie...🤪

David Essex in the mid seventies. Alain Delaine was gorgeous in his youth too .

Talking about him recently
Still gives me tachycardia, tho' not so much now as his teeth are too perfect (dentures?!). He had a lovely 'crooked' smile

Worldgonecrazy · 09/10/2024 10:15

I thought OP had started a thread about my husband 🤪

NorthernLiner · 09/10/2024 10:16

Paul Newman
Robert Redford (look at him as Gatsby and weep, Leo)
James Mason (best voice ever)
Cary Grant (someone once described him as "a handsome man who didn't behave like a handsome man")

First choice probably Paul Newman, who combined supernaturally good looks with intelligence and the ability to be genuinely funny on screen.

Sigh.

Faithful and beyond generous too.
The whole package.
What a man.

NotMyCircusss · 09/10/2024 10:16

What? Him? Really?…

Imfreetofeelgood · 09/10/2024 10:16

He's all your's OP.
For me -
David Sylvian in the 80's (my era)
Elvis (particularly his leathers, come back, phase)
Paul Newman - gorgeous to look at, but doesn't quite do it for me.
Darius Danesh
Cary Grant - again, in fairness gorgeous, but not floating my boat.
I used to adore Mr Depp, but have gone right off him. Even pics that I previously drooled over, just seem meh.

I don’t even see him as remotely gorgeous 😅 It’s fascinating how we all see attraction differently

leftorrightnow · 09/10/2024 10:20

His features are a bit to uneven for me to fully swoon. Tbh he looks a bit like my grandad! (Who wash handsome).

for a less well known stereotypical masculine actor who makes me swoon, have a look at Joel Kinnnaman!

Manypaws · 09/10/2024 10:21

I'll stick with Paul Newman

Howmanycatsistoomany · 09/10/2024 10:23

NorthernLiner · 09/10/2024 09:22

Of course not.

Paul Newman was.

Yep

No, that's Charles Leclerc the monegasque formula one driver

He is absolutely stunning!

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 does look v handsome here imo!

That photo is better than the first two, I agree. He does look quite handsome and wholesome in this one. (The first two however did nothing for me!😂)

Not (quite) my type but he is definitely handsome!

DiscoinFrisco · 09/10/2024 10:26

Well you are entitled to your opinion of course but you are incorrect.....Stormzy is the most beautiful man who has ever walked this non worthy earth.
