No to Mel. He's a racist bigot and he is also short.

Ffs those are not comparable flaws

I don't get the Paul Mescal thing. He's not bad looking but walk down any street in Ireland and every other young man looks exactly like him!

I'm Irish and I totally agree. If he was playing a club hurling match in Limerick you wouldn't look twice at him. He doesn't have anything that sets him apart.
I don't think Gabriel Byrne has been mentioned yet. He was lovely looking.

Agree on both counts.

Don't get me wrong, Paul Mescal is a brilliant actor. But he looks just like half the men his age in any Irish town. Not even a great body or any special charisma to make him stand out.

Gabriel Byrne is a whole other story, as my American friend would say!

Also James Dean, beautiful man.

River Phoenix had a similar look, so striking.

David Ginola

I have met him, he is even better in real life, and very charming.

Michiel Huisman was much more gorgeous as Daario Naharis.

Gotta disagree. It’s that smutty look that Ed Skrein has. Mind you, in the book he was bald with a blue beard IIRC, so both are an improvement 😀

Roland Gift hot hot hot 🔥

I just remembered another beautiful Irish man who isn't getting enough mentions. Colin Farrell. He has a twinke in his eye.

Ioan Gruffud in Hornblower.

Ah you totally would at a GAA match in his county shorts 😍

Absolutely this. When I first saw him I said he looks like my friends brothers in the GAA growing up. All of them collectively. He has a 'look' that is so ordinary to me. When we were young in my town we thought anyone with darker skin was gorgeous, regardless of features. Every Spanish student was a ride. We see beauty in what is different and don't see it in our own.

Dangelo, Jim Morrison, Prince.
Also young Marlon Brando was beautiful. Also agree with previous posters about Paul Newman, just yes!

Oh my god did D'Angelo have a video on MTV in the late 90's??? 😍😍

Euring the World Cup I found myself quite fancying Erling Haaland. He's not conventionally good-looking but his sense of humour, long blond hair and general Viking-ness appealed.

Sadly, he has since cut all his hair off and that's put an end to that as he now looks like a giant toddler!

I actually think he looks way better with the short hair! I never found him attractive tbh but now? Maybe 👀

And Ed Skrein as Daario Naharis in Game of Thrones. He has that twinkle in his eye and a cheeky/dirty grin.

& even the OG
