Robert Redford without a doubt. Although Paul Newman runs a close second. ❤️

Harrison Ford in 1982

Oh he was beautiful!
I also think Oliver Reed was incredibly handsome back in the day too.

Oliver Reed. He was very handsome in his hayday.

Patrick Swayze. He was the perfect mixture of masculine and feminine.

Edited to be greedy and add Gerard Butler in there too.

Great selection so far. Young Brendan Fraser is always a winner, but I've a soft spot for younger Tom Hiddleston before all the Taylor Swift rigmarole. Cheekbones for days!

AND he was faithful. Unlike my choice 🙄.

Not to his first wife!

NO man beats James Norton IMO. He is gorgeous. 😍

Absolutely agree , he is just gorgeous and a phenomenal actor . Like him especially as bad boy Tommy Lee Royce in Happy valley

Anyway the answer is still Paul Newman !

Agreed! So beautiful. And I thought my first boyfriend 45 years ago looked like him!

FunTimesInTheRain · 30/08/2026 08:28

I can’t believe that not one person (unless I missed it) has mentioned Paul Rudd!
I wouldn’t have had him down as an unusual choice.

YourZingyJadeTraybake · 30/08/2026 08:31

Claes bang

Too many to choose from. His eyes, sultry look and smile made Paul Newman a hit and of course he was faithful to the end.
Where's Sean Connery on the list?

Nothing sexier than a bit of religious guilt.

It's because 1) he looks like a nice, normal person, someone you could actually know (and secretly fancy) and 2) he trudges instead of walking.

I don't for one minute condone his psychopathy and the amount of suffering he caused to millions of people, so please don't think that I'm talking 'inner beauty' here. However has anyone ever seen a photo of the young Joseph Stalin? He is very good looking.

sugarandcyanide · 30/08/2026 08:47

Lucien Laviscount. He wears some utterly ridiculous clothes though.

Just adding my vote for James Norton here. Not only is he gorgeous but he also seems kind and intelligent which is what does it for me.

Wiseplumnet · 30/08/2026 08:51

DonaldJohnTrump · 29/08/2026 20:36

No contest. I'm the bigly bestest.

That should come with a 'trigger warning!'😆

❤️

Fuck!! Yesss 😋😋

Waitingfordoggo · 30/08/2026 08:53

YANBU. Some of the others suggested are also appealing to varying degrees but I do think PN wins. He was just classically, conventionally handsome.
