To not find George Clooney attractive

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

When I saw George & Amal Clooney arrive at the royal wedding I didn't immediately recognise who they were and my first thought was...'wow, that old mans punching above his weight' and then I recognised them Shock

I used to love GC back around his ER days but he has aged a lot and looks much older than 57. What’s made him seem much less attractive is how smug and holier than thou he comes across. It’s like he has decided to become Hollyweirds conscience and pops up to give a presidential interview. There doesn’t seem to be a cause he won’t jump on the bandwagon of. There are so many people contributing to causes they feel strongly about, quietly and privately. He doesn’t appear to be one of them. Before Amal he had all these shitty 2 year contracts with waitresses, wrestlers. Soooo cringey. And now he’s with Amal the pair of them have morphed into social climbers, armchair socialists and super smugs. Not attractive one bit. Rant over.

findingmyfeet I think JD thinks he is Keith Richards 😆

Brad 'hamster cheeks' Pitt

Haha, I've always said that too, other people just don't seem to see it.

shinycat · 03/06/2018 12:41

'Cut price Carey grant!' hahahha! Grin

Clooney does nothing for me tbh. I agree with @lljkk, that Leo DiCaprio and David Beckham are 2 very attractive middle aged male celebrities. Also Johnny Depp still gets me; he is V.V. hot IMO! Grin

Brad Pitt is still OK IMO, but looks a bit rough sometimes (like puffy eyed and tired) Same with Leo. Looks stunning in some some shots, (when he is scrubbed up,) and is handsome, but he looks a bit tired and 'scruffy' in others. Beckham NEVER looks bad though - hubba hubba. Grin

I think Tom Cruise is cute actually and Keanu Reeves, but don't fancy them at all IYSWIM.

Tell you who IS yummy - Chris Pine from Star Trek. Grrrrrr Grin And also Chris Evans (not the ginger twat, the American actor) AND the Hemsworth brothers (Liam and Chris...)

See attached ^ 1 is Chris Pine, 2 is Chris Evans... And pic 3 is Liam and Chris Hemsworth. (There are a lot of fit Chris's aren't there?!) Shock

I think you can see my type Grin

He has a nice smile, but he's very sensible looking so I don't think he is sexually attractive at all.

RoseWhiteTips · 03/06/2018 12:44

I don’t get it either. He leaves me cold as does his ‘oh so very convenient’ wife. It is alleged he bats for the other team.

RoseWhiteTips · 03/06/2018 12:45

Jonny Deppy does not look terribly hot in recent photos.

MargotLovedTom1 · 03/06/2018 15:56

Ugh, David Beckham looks like he should be working the Waltzer these days, and Brad Pitt has always been too simian for my taste. George is OK but Hugh Jackman wipes the floor with the lot of them. And yes, I've heard the rumours about him too. I don't care!

RoseWhiteTips · 03/06/2018 16:02

Working the Waltzer!? Excellent observation. He certainly does.

RoseWhiteTips · 03/06/2018 16:04

Anyone mentioned Tom Hardy, yet?! Lol

JustDanceAddict · 03/06/2018 16:05

Me too. Yes, he’s a handsome older man but he’s never done anything for me. Back in the ER days I preferred Noah Wyle.

I've never seen the attraction in George Clooney. I mean, he's not hideously ugly, but just not my type. But then I don't think I'm his type either.

Chris Evans though. (Captain America, not the other one) OMG, yes, yes, yes. And Robert Downey Jr too, he's definitely got better with age.

Thank you @shinycat for the Chris (and a Liam) pictures. They are all lovely, but Evans is definitely my one true love. He'll know when he meets me, I'm sure. Wink

popcorneveryminute · 03/06/2018 16:27

YANBU

I've never got it, even in his early ER days...I was always much more attracted to Carter!

ElenOfTheWays · 03/06/2018 16:37

Ooooh. HOW could I forget Hugh Jackman?
Naughty step for me.

WilyMinx · 03/06/2018 16:42

I don't neither, but I thought he looked old already when I first became aware of him. I did find Brad Pitt, Keanu Reeves and Leo DiCaprio hot at various points of their career but never GC.

I think Keanu has aged the best.

Raffles1981 · 03/06/2018 16:43

I'm going to put my bitch hat on here - puts on tin hat - I find the Hemsworth brothers attractive. But his love for Miley "I speak like a 50 a day woman" Cyrus has put me off him. I don't get the attraction.

lifechangesforever · 03/06/2018 16:43

YABVVU! I'm 29 and I think he's lovelyyyyyy.

Raffles1981 · 03/06/2018 16:44

Forgot to say Liam Blush

findingmyfeet12 · 03/06/2018 16:46

I really don't get the Hemsworth brothers' attraction. I don't find Channing Tatum attractive either. They seem a bit too clean cut.

Someone mentioned Michael Fassbender - much more my cup of tea.

If we're talking older men I do have a thing for Bill Nighy Blush

SevenStones · 03/06/2018 16:51

Me neither OP. Back in the day, I didn't understand the fuss about Richard Gere, either!

AdidasGirl · 03/06/2018 16:54

I've never understood the fascination with him either. Doesn't do anything for me.

e1y1 · 03/06/2018 16:59

My DF looks just like him, so no.
