I honestly don’t get the fuss about him!
Just looks like someone’s ordinary grandad to me, I’m expecting a lot of strong disagreementsGrin

i remember him from being Jackie's boyfriend in Roseanne.

I am ancient though.

Ooh, I can swoon over BP but GC is smarmy. Fine if you like that.

LARLARLAND · 03/06/2018 10:59

I find him a bit silly to be honest.

JohnnyMcGrathSaysFuckOff · 03/06/2018 11:02

For some reason " Brad Pitt is manky too" made me cackle like a witch

Rudgie47 · 03/06/2018 11:04

I always thought he was gay.
Hes an old man now, must be in his late 60s/early 70s.

Seems a nice enough man, but as for looks very much the generic American actor type, never know how they can tell them apart tbh. British actors so much more interesting.

StableGenius · 03/06/2018 11:11

I can see that he's very good looking but he's never done anything for me either. I prefer an 'interesting' face.

JeremyWadesTackle · 03/06/2018 11:12

Yeah, its the same with Pierce Brosnan, I can see they are very good looking men but there is something about them, I just cannot find them fanciable.

SmilingButClueless · 03/06/2018 11:14

There’s a certain type of actor - and I’d include both George Clooney and Pierce Brosnan in this - who just remind me of a director’s vision of a grown-up Ken doll.

MargotLovedTom1 · 03/06/2018 11:15

Rudgie - he's 57.

Right, Smiling. Just too regular, unchallenging - ‘pretty’ if you like. Not my taste.

SoapOnARoap · 03/06/2018 11:17

I’m sure he speaks highly of you Smile

Rudgie47 · 03/06/2018 11:18

Looks old for 57, I hope I dont have a full face beard at that age-never a good look for a woman.

LilMadAgain · 03/06/2018 11:18

vampirethriller you beat me to it, is it the neck tattoo he has in the film? Phwoar.

iklboo · 03/06/2018 11:18

No, not for me either. I always preferred Dr Greene in ER (but I'm weird). He seems a nice enough bloke though.

JeremyWadesTackle · 03/06/2018 11:19

Yes smiling, maybe too perfect?

KittenBeast · 03/06/2018 11:19

I think he's very attractive, I've always favoured much older men. I have never met a normal grandad who looked like George Clooney. That would be some find.

JeremyWadesTackle · 03/06/2018 11:21

I prefer the more rugged, lived in look, as per my username! Grin

Trooperslane2 · 03/06/2018 11:21

YANBU

But he is very handsome, classically beautiful and his eyes are stunning.

I absolutely

RedDwarves · 03/06/2018 11:21

I don't find him attractive either.

Brad Pitt has not aged well, but was at least attractive when he was younger.

Really glad you lot don't see the appeal, it means the queue will be shorter.

Sprinklesinmyelbow · 03/06/2018 11:22

He’s smouldering

This. Which is possibly a bit hard on GC who seems to be a principled and decent man.

But this single-mindedness of casting directors is infuriating.

And you can include Harrison Ford in the grown-up Ken category as well.

RedDwarves · 03/06/2018 11:25

An additional one who has not aged well: Leonardo DiCaprio.

He's so meh.
