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

Kicking off with Det. Brodie in JAWS

John Nettles in his early Bergerac days.

I remember my friend and I saying how Hugh Grant did nothing for us. Then we went to see Bridget Jones. The first time you see Hugh in the film lift doors open and there he is. We both went, yeah, alright then, we definitely would.https://www.google.com/search?q=hugh+grant+bridget+jones+llift+opening+scene&client=firefox-b-lm&sca_esv=b2b0647d6414b5de&channel=entpr&sxsrf=AE3TifPlktAQQ3J2CU1ES7E7ZrbvZrqGBA%3A1762080768194&ei=ADgHadfQC8GkhbIP1pDYiAQ&ved=0ahUKEwjX0IOyptOQAxVBUkEAHVYIFkEQ4dUDCBE&uact=5&oq=hugh+grant+bridget+jones+llift+opening+scene&gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiLGh1Z2ggZ3JhbnQgYnJpZGdldCBqb25lcyBsbGlmdCBvcGVuaW5nIHNjZW5lMgUQABjvBTIIEAAYgAQYogQyCBAAGIAEGKIEMgUQABjvBTIIEAAYgAQYogRIvkpQswNY7ixwAXgAkAEAmAGwAqAB0CCqAQg2LjEzLjYuMbgBA8gBAPgBAZgCDKAC4QvCAggQABjvBRiwA8ICCxAAGIAEGKIEGLADwgIIECEYoAEYwwTCAgoQIRgKGKABGMMEmAMAiAYBkAYFkgcHNy4zLjEuMaAH5VSyBwc2LjMuMS4xuAfWC8IHBjItMTAuMsgHQw&sclient=gws-wiz-serp#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:a88825b5,vid:e0U7uATcaI0,st:0

I used to watch a lot of Western movies with my dad when I was little and always had a thing for this guy but only now appreciate how stunning he was - Gary Cooper.

Yes to Michael Palin ❤️

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

@Snooks1971 Great thread!
Timothy Dalton. When I was a kid he just looked old to me. I chanced upon him on telly the other day in an old movie and was truly shocked by how stunning he was.

Don Warrington. When I see him in Death in Paradise I think back to him in Rising Damp.

A gem for all the Terence Stamp appreciators. And he name checks Gary Cooper quite early on.

Aidan was stunning in Desperately Seeking Susan! Beautiful eyes and smokey voice. But then, I thought so at the time ( I'm more sad about how both he and James Spader have aged tbh, but that's another thread...)

Have you seen his son? Smoking!

@SeaAndStars he was hilarious in Rising Damp, always got the better of Rigsby. He is lovely
