TV or Film actors you watched whilst young then realise now they are quite hot (back then)

[Snooks1971]

Kicking off with Det. Brodie in JAWS

Mine too - I never get tired of it, it's such a masterpiece. 💖

Agree. I love the scene when he and Maria dance on the terrace. The electricity crackles.

Robin Ellis in the 1970s Poldark adaptation.
He pops up in a hanging judge cameo in the recent remake too

Anthony Stewart Head as Giles in Buffy the vampire slayer!

Triton

I recently rewatched Godfather Part II and had forgotten that Al Pacino was absolutely smokin' as a youngster.

He was stunning

George clooney in Roseanne and young Richard Gere.

Also Jared Leto in my so called life

Oh and Oliver Reed when you rewatch Oliver! (ironically!)

Thought he was a horrible man back then - and how dare you kick a dog! But rewatching with my old lady eyes... oh my!

Still not ok with the dog situation but those big blues are mesmerising. (And hopefully dog was fully trained and acting and not remotely in any danger!)

Robert Redford, David Soul and Anthony Andrews. I DEFINITELY have a type!

@Arlanymor it IS a Masterpiece, I still have the VHS Version I can’t bear to part with it, I love everything about it ❤️ the opening sequence and music is just perfect.
you should come to Dorset, the filming locations have not changed at all

I’m just here to put up a picture of James Mason.

@NomNomNominativeDeterminism he also had a beautiful voice and accent

Irene Bedard for me, probably my gay awakening now I look back.

@firstofallimadelight Richard Gere always looked like a Guinea Pig to me 🤣

I could not agree with you more - utter perfection! I definitely should find my way to Dorset - haven't been since I was 18 and my mum took me on a weekend away for my birthday because Thomas Hardy is my absolute favourite. I'm 47 next year - so it's been a while! How lovely that you live in Hardy country! 💚

Me too!

@Arlanymor not exactly as I am in Poole but West Dorset about 40 minutes away, I’ve just remembered that genius scene on Weymouth beach where Bathsheba is having an emotional conversation with Troy and yet the viewer never gets to hear it. Just brilliant really. They filmed it well, leaving out modern buildings but the Victorian railings on the promenade and the seating are all still there.
you should definitely come on a FFTMC ‘Tour’
I also adore the scene where Bathsheba is throwing the grain in the air in slow motion.
I need to watch it again ❤️

@Arlanymor I mean it is bad about the poor dog, but anything we should say about poor Nancy?

You need to watch him in ‘The Big Easy’ then!

How brilliant to be so close and Poole is lovely - is there stlll that chainlink ferry? Probably dates me a bit, but I went to a Christmas party in Sandbanks once and caught the ferry. Was it called Bramble Bush or am I making that up?!

Oh you've brought back so many memories! The storm scene stands out for me - the weather being an extra character! But the grain scene too - where she spots that she is being sold a subpar product - amazing. You've given me some holiday inspiration for 2026!

I need to watch again too. 💜

Definitely this (if you mean Charlie)!. I was always team Edward as a kid and watched it recently and realised the dad was the fittest!

I was speaking as my 10 year old self watching at the time, who wanted to be a vet, and poor old Bullseye stood out to me. But yes of course, I agree, awful.
