to think that Helena Bonham Carter is one of the most beautiful women in the world?

[Mintyy]

I mean, she is just bloody gorgeous, isn't she? Stunning.

Looking pretty good here. Kristin Scott Thomas is perhaps more beautiful but it's not a competition.

Those of you who don't think that HBC is beautiful must have amazingly high standards .

I like her, always have. But I seriously dislike the company she keeps.

I think she's beautiful in that dishevelled, batty British aristo way. I can appreciate her looks but she doesn't give me a lady boner................so to speak.

Ah yes PostmanPat, she's gorgeous too.
But it's not her, it's someone older. I'll ask Dh when he gets home on Saturday as it is only because of his crush that I've developed my crush.

Sorry Mintyy for the hijack.

I think Tilda is supremely confident and self assured. I suppose it can come across as 'I love myself'. I see what you mean. Isn't she in a threesome with an older and a younger man? I think I might be a bit jealous of her actually.

Wowooo- Isabelle Adjani?

yes she is lovely and her voice is lovely too esp on radio.

I do like HBC, and think she is quite beautiful.

Haven't got love for Tilda Despite thinking she is a good actress, there's just something unappealing about her IMO. Eva Green has the opposite problem. Beautiful face , awful actress, she is very wooden in PD, Bond and anything else I've seen her in.

Rumour has it ET's relationship with KB was pretty much over when HBC got with KB. But it suits ET to do the spurned woman routine, at least ET has found happiness with GW. This is purely rumour though, so I've no idea how true it is (or isn't).

Hang on, how was it her who 'did the dirty' in the Ken/Em/Helena triangle? HE was the one who cheated! This sort of thing really pisses me off; it's just misogyny. Women as 'home-wreckers' and poor helpless men who just couldn't help shagging them while they were meant to be with someone else.

Back on point, yes, I think she's beautiful and bewitching. Genuinely a bit nuts too (I mean that as a good thing). Read an off-putting post on here once though about her sitting in first class on a flight and occasionally going to visit her kids and the nanny, who were in economy.

HBC is beautiful but along with it she is totally arresting and oozes sex appeal.

Its the Bellatrix/Mrs Lovett thing especially. Absolutely glorious.

Is there a drool emoticon?

Oh yes, forgot to say I don't get the Tilda Swinton love. I find neither her looks nor her acting particularly impressive.

Another one who doesn't get Tilda

I think she (HBC) is refreshingly different and has resisted the requirement to conform and be ultra groomed like just about every other A list actor on the planet. And the shape of her face!

Lolling at the people who think she is "ordinary".

Wowoo, yes, I think Tilda has one partner who stays at home and one (the young pretty one for a guess) who travels around with her.

Good on her, as long as they're all happy!

Every day you learn something on Mumsnet

I had no idea HBC was considered 'beautiful' by anyone (bar her mum, maybe?) I can't believe people think she is so great.

Wow! Good job we are all different. I thought this thread was going to be a joke thread written by HBC when I opened it

Tilda has two children with the playwright John Byrne, but they're not together anymore. She has a younger partner and so does he.

I think the tabloids like to make it sound more decadent than it is.

I think she's beautiful too because she's done stuff and been how she is.

Anyone have a problem with that?

Eva Green is very beautiful but she looks strange and kind of goofy when she smiles (not so many posed pics of her smiling). Looks wise, Rachel Weisz for me - oh to look like that.

I think she is beautiful, I could look at her face all day (in fact, have just been browsing her on Pinterest thanks to this thread). Wish I were as "average" as she is

I don't love her style, but it's hers and it's different and interesting and I appreciate that.

Disappointed about her politics, though, that's news to me.

I agree, always thought she was beautiful and unique. Doesn't need make-up either which is rare

Tulip that looks like animation rather than an actual photo!

D'you think? Maybe it is

I do think she has one of the most beautiful and interesting faces in celebdom, I could have picked any one of hundreds of pics

She is properly beautiful. I think she was the first woman I had a crush on growing up (although I'm pretty straight, I refuse to use the phrase "girl crush", I don't mean to be rude but it's too twee for words) I remember her from A Room With A View, and then reading an interview with her in one of my parents' Sunday supplements, and thinking she was wonderful. She is certainly far from average, whether you think she's stunning or not! I also agree about Tilda Swinton -she has fantastic bone structure, and Eva Green, who might be a rubbish actress but was totally mesmerising in The Dreamers.

My crush would be a French woman that I love so much I'm not sure of her name

Oooh, oooh. Is it Emanuelle Beart? She was v lovely.

Sophie Marceau? Juliette Binoche?

Love French actresses

Findo - I did apologise for the phrase girl crush. Tut.

I'm totally spending the evening with Pinterest......

I too hate the phrase "girl crush" - its just a crush. She's hot. Why the need for the "girl" bit
