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

Kicking off with Det. Brodie in JAWS

@Arlanymor yes the ferry is still operational between sandbanks and Studland, a man drove his Bentley into the sea from the haven hotel a few weeks ago (not deliberate) not sure what it’s called though. I have colleagues that live in swanage but they don’t use it as it’s quite pricey now. It gets taken off for quite a few weeks off season for maintenance.

ETA your memory is superb, I have just looked it up it’s called The Bramble Bush Bay

I impressed myself with that partial memory! That would have been 2009 I think... good to hear it is still going, despite the cost.

Sam Elliott in roadhouse. In 1989 I just thought he looked so old. Now I look at him then - now - and think bloody hell he was gorgeous

Hugh Grant
In 4 Weddings and a Funeral and in Notting Hill he's a bumbling upper class twit.
In Love Actually ( the dance bit ) he's as hot AF

DD and I are going to see it at the cinema , Hugh Grant on the big screen <phwoar >

Yes to Tom Selleck. Also Timothy Dalton.

Sam Elliot was always gorgeous. Same with previously mentioned Paul Newman and Robert Redford.

Rock Hudson.

Back in the day I thought him and Doris Day, a bit insipid.

I have had a thing for Anthony Quinn since I was about 6 ! Ever since I saw "a High Wind in Jamaica" but so many of the film stars of those days were really handsome. James Mason, Cary Grant, Audie Murphy, Howard Keel to name a few.

Who else shall we add to the list? Or shall we just share those three…

My DD adores Hugh Grant (favourite film - Notting Hill). We saw a photo of him in the NPG taken just before he hit the big time in Four Weddings. My god, he was totally beautiful - still does nothing for me, though

Adds 'The Big Easy' to my watch list...

Frank sinatra, Elvis, Cary Grant...

Young Dave Allen. Oh my.

Billy Burke…. he’s best friends with Jeffrey dean morgan so that’s a great combo 🫠

Didn't really appreciate either Aidan Quinn or William Petersen when I was younger

I was just about to say Aidan Quinn ❤️

When i first began watching Supernatural 20 years ago I thought the brothers were pretty hot. Am doing a rewatch and now realise Jeffrey Dean Morgan as their dad was the fittest one in it 😁

James Mason: that voice! All that and a bit more. In a league of its own.

Plus those dark, almost sullen, brooding good looks.

The man was (genuinely) unique. Looked better than Stewart Granger in Regency clothes in all those Gainsborough films.

I read a biography about him and he was actually a bit of an odd bod - nothing nasty - but I would have happily accepted that.

Jon Bon Jovi was in a few movies and he was surprising good in them. Plus looked stunning.

Back in the day, I was a young teen and the conversation was whether it was Starsky or Hutch. I fancied Starsky, Soul was Hutch

Terence Stamp was off the chart handsome. Jesus, those eyes!

OMG yes - a thousand times yes to this. When he tells her that her luck is about to change 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I watched Alien for the 20th time yesterday and realised Tom Skerrit (Captain Dallas) was rather delicious.

Totally agree.

Not an actor but Prince William. I was a bit young to be a fan when he had teenage girls/young women swooning after him and never really noticed it but looking back he was so gorgeous when he was young.

Harrison Ford, Viggo Mortensen 👌
