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?

Paul McCartney was arguably the most fancied Beatle back in the early 60s.

However, he was also the spitting image of my grandfather as a young man (and now oddly resembles my mother as an older woman) so a hard pass from me Grin

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 like dick van dykes son!

Who looked a lot like his brother…..

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.

But he’s boss-eyed! Looks ok from some angles but otherwise his big bulgy eyes are too weird.

Tom Hardy’s lips are odd too.

Henry Cavill and Clooney are the current men with matinee idol looks. Sam Neill is adorable, abd gets better with age.

But Newman is still be greatest.

dontforgetme · 09/10/2024 11:29

He is lovely op!

For me, the answer is Brad Pitt. He's fucking gorgeous and just gets more gorgeous with age, imo.

TheFreaksShallInheritTheEarth · 09/10/2024 11:30

I'd never come across RS before, and frankly don't rate him, but he is the spitting image of DH's (long since deceased) grandfather... uncannily so!
So, major grandad vibes here.

biglipslittleblips · 09/10/2024 11:31

Looks like scott bakula 😂

Lots of lovely men already mentioned but surely Sam Heughan deserves a place on the list.

I used to swoon a bit over Paul Gross 😁while my friend always had a soft spot for Mark Harmon.

Ken Watanabe can be quite mesmerising too.....

Guilty crush….

David Soul was beautiful when he was younger.

GrimpenMire · 09/10/2024 11:36

Alex McArthur is gorgeous, especially in Desperado.

RogerTaylorsdrumstool · 09/10/2024 11:37

Not my taste.

Cary Grant was gorgeous though

Ohpleez · 09/10/2024 11:38

Clint Eastwood is IT

WearyAuldWumman · 09/10/2024 11:39

I now feel ancient. I guess that younger folk can't be expected to know all the old film stars. (I'm 64.)

Blondiney · 09/10/2024 11:39

If we’re judging purely on looks then it’s this guy for me, ‘The Hot Felon’. Don’t judge me 😊

@Bonjovispjs I'm not sure who that is, but those eyes wow!!

biglipslittleblips · 09/10/2024 11:40

I mean they are literally the same man

Yes he is cute on there.

Ugh. No. Wouldn't be my cup of tea.

Of course not.

Paul Newman was.

This is correct.

@biscuitandcake glad I'm not the only person to appreciate a forearm! 😁

Jeff Bridges in his younger days. Although still lovely.
