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?

Surely Sam Neill?

Randolph Scott lived with Cary Grant. It was presented as ‘two bachelors about town’, but the reality was quite different.

Sad, really.

Was just reading that Grant's daughter sued anyone who said he was gay.

Never been anything concrete on this.

Nope. I raise you Steve McQueen or even Paul Newman ...

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.

PyreneanAubrie · 09/10/2024 10:50

Has nobody mentioned Clooney yet 😝(joke)

My votes would go to Santiago Cabrera and Aidan Turner.

Yes, absolutely gorgeous!

John F Kennedy Jr in my humble opinion.
I worked with his wife in NY in the 1990's so I met him numerous times.

Reed's voice, diction and articulation, he gives Alan Rickman a run for his money.

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 🤣

I'd never seen it, but that Get Back doc with the beard...my word.

Seems an extreme reaction, to sue for that. They’re not saying he was a criminal!

The photos speak volumes, though, don’t they?They look like they absolutely adore each other.
I’ve also read lots of quotes from their friends who said they were utterly in love.

Maybe I’m an old romantic.

Mirandawrongs · 09/10/2024 10:54

Looks like the arsehole that was my biological father.
misogynistic, abusive, vile reptile of a man (sorry to insult reptiles)
dead and not missed at all by anyone.

Guilty crush….

Paul Newman in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. 😻

Of a younger generation, Henry Golding is rather fine. Lovely smile.

With the eyebrow 🤣

I melted as I read that!

I absolutely adored him as a young teen in the S&H era.

Jensen Ackles 😍😍My ultimate crush. Have loved him for years and he gets better with age. Even my DH admits he is 'one good looking bastard' 😂

Good choice!!!

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

Dylan in the current bake off!

He is rather lovely

I used to love Errol Flynn

Also have to add Keith Hamilton Cobb

Andoutcomethewolves · 09/10/2024 11:01

Nope. That would be the sadly departed Rik Mayall IMO. Under all the face pulling etc he was a very attractive man, with a sense of humour to match😍

But then my first crush was Shane MacGowan and I appear to be the only person ever to have fancied Spud more than the rest of the male cast of Trainspotting so I accept I may have weird taste haha

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 09/10/2024 11:02

Uricon2 · 09/10/2024 09:50

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.

You and I would get on famously, and when I saw you had also mentioned Rufus Sewell I wondered if you are in fact me. For the forearm fetishists.

I think you'll find that this is the the most stunning man that ever lived 😍

Definitely not my tastes.

Looks like a grandad to me (and I don't even go for young men, always dated 5-10 years older than myself but not 'grandad vibes' older).

Stormzy and Maya Jama. There cannot have been a more stunning couple surely?

I met Maya Jama years ago when she was just starting out presenting. She was unbelievably gorgeous, bizarrely so and almost other-worldly amongst all the 'normal' people around her. You could hardly stop yourself staring. I knew she'd be famous.
