Brian Molko, although he's younger than me, not so much from my youth.

I'd probably give Bob Weir from the Grateful Dead a run out too, he's 71 now but I'd just see the young free spirit in him.

Jeff Goldblum

Tom Delonge from Blink182 😍

FrauFlamingo · 23/08/2019 15:14

Ooh yes Daniel Day Lewis.

Also Jean-Marc Barr (French actor) and Ian McCulloch

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 23/08/2019 15:19

sister how could I forget Nuno Bettancourt, what a beautiful specimen.

Ooh and Hugh Grant. And Colin Filth (as he's known in our house due to how filthy I reckon he is in bed)

DarlingNikita · 23/08/2019 15:19

I'd rather have Damon Albarn now than in the 90s TBH. Back then I was an Alex James girl but I've gone off him, the Cameron-befriending tit.

Jeff Goldblum always.
John McEnroe. Silver fox and SUCH a witty and brilliant commentator.
Chris Packham, a formative crush in the Realyl Wild Show days who just looks better and better.
All-time crush since 2000 is Paul Bettany though.

These have been mentioned already but Marti Pellow and Kiefer Sutherland, also James Marsters (Spike from Buffy).

Sean Connery I didn't like in James Bond but when he got older I thought he was gorgeous.

@Pericombobulations Dave Gahan is definitely one who got better looking with age. He was so awkward looking in the early 80's. I've never fancied him particularly but he is a god in my house.

99problemsandjust1appt · 23/08/2019 16:47

Taylor Hanson loved him then love him now but he has got MUCH better with age

dayswithaY · 23/08/2019 16:53

John Cusack
Used to be Mickey Rourke but not now - have you seen him lately?

salsmum · 23/08/2019 16:56

Paul Michael glasier ( starsky)
David Cassidy ( if he was still alive)
Elvis ( as above)
Michael Landon (same as above too)

ThatCurlyGirl · 23/08/2019 16:56

Oh god yes army photo young Elvis 😍

sweeneytoddsrazor · 23/08/2019 16:57

Jon Bon Jovi
Sean Bean (especially if he was wearing his Sharpe uniform)
Bruce Willis
Tom Jones now but not when he was younger

JacquettaW · 23/08/2019 17:12

@Nanny0gg I'm only early 30s and I'd do David Essex!

I also second Brian Molko
Nicholas Lea (Alex Krycek in the X Files)
Colin Farrell
Number one fantasy man Johnny Depp!

JacquettaW · 23/08/2019 17:15

Oh I forgot Lee Ryan from Blue!
