Corrrrr, Rob Lowe! In anything, ever (apart from the underage sex tape - no, no, no, no) - yes please!!! Especially The Outsiders (when I was 14, not now) - cos he was just so pretty...

Thanks

Is The Outsiders that nothing-gold-can-stay film? With all the young whippersnappers who are now old whippersnappers? I really fancied one of them but can't remember which one!

Katy, Tyrese Gibson has that effect on me.

DH is for some reason convinced that Michael Fassbender does that to me, but no, he just looks like a sociopath. And a cocky one at that.

Eldritch - this thread has thrown up some amazing feelings towards actors, but 'Michael Fassbender looks like a cocky sociopath' is my thought for the day Grin

Rob Lowe seems to be one of the few exceptions to the rule of 'pretty when younger, strange when older'. I'm talking about men here. I can't think of anyone specific (but I'm sure someone has some good examples) but it seems to be that if a man (actors usually) is 'pretty' when he's young, he DOES NOT age well.

Examples please - or show me otherwise!

KatieScarlett - love Andrew McCarthy but he always, always looks on the verge of tears!

At the end of the day ... we are now a quiche that fancies Tom Cruise. Am sorry but we do.

I fancy him too, but that only happened recently. Didnt get the whole Top Gun thing but Stacy Jaxx and him on Graham Norton does it for me every time! He is cute, charismatic and funny. I am also an aging rock chick so maybe that has something to do with it, was never keen on pretty boys. Shame he has such ishoos!

The love story with RB and AB in RoA was wonderful! Wanted to shoot the two young lovers for being amazingly annoying though, and I though that the journo looked like a young Michelle PerFiefer.

When this thread started, I was mostly on team YABU. Now, I'm obsessed with Tom Cruise. I did not even like Top Gun when I was a kid. I'm just Googling the shit out of him and watching a bunch of his movies.

This thread has changed my life.

Grin

Top Gun did change mine. Blush

When you're watching TG hold the button over the bit where they first snog, after they've had a big carchase and fallout cos Kelly Mc told him off. His wee little face when she tells him she's fallen for him is just, just...well, it just is.

The book version (I am going to have to namechange now people know I have a TG book) is even better because when she tear-arses to the airport to stop him from leaving (has the bloody woman got no pride! shrieks the MNer in me) (whilst the TC lover shrieks "faster Kel, you can get there!") as she leaves, she turns round and says "oh and by the way, if it should ever cross your mind, yes I did love you, and you were worth it".

Not that I've watched TG much, like.

I quite Michael Buble with his sticky out ears and the Spanish one in IL Divo. I did like Tom in Top Gun but after all the strange goings on in his personal life, have gone off him.

Oh ye, had a little crush on Alec Baldwin, but when he got chunkier, went off him a bit.

I might be able to accommodate all of Il Divo at the same time quite frankly. There's nothing quite like men dressed in nice suits standing with their legs apart bellowing in foreign languages.

All of Take That could form an orderly queue outside as well.
