Hell no.

Never thought he was that attractive.

Brainwashed · 14/12/2021 12:32

I am really enjoying all the George Harrison love here😍
Definitely the best Beatle though I did have a John phase when I first got into them in the 80s

I had never thought much about Paul McCartney looks-wise because he was just Paul McCartney. He's a regular looking guy with extraordinary talent and I really admire that.

And then I saw the "Get Back" documentary...

Holy cow!
It was rather uncomfortable for me to just be watching him and thinking he was "a bit of alright", so to speak. Okay, I found him absolutely gorgeous!

To quote, "I've Got a Feeling" from the "Let it Be" sessions, these words summed up my feelings for PM:

"All these years I've been wandering around
Wondering how come nobody told me
All that I was looking for was somebody
Who looked like you"

No, not even in the top 1000.

AndARiverBeneathYourFeet · 14/12/2021 12:37

Paul has a sweet face and is very handsome in animation (am biased as my brother looks a bit like him, it's been pointed out to him twice by total strangers).

Marc Bolan was technically active in '69 right? Yum.

ArseInTheCoOpWindow · 14/12/2021 12:39

Elvis was the best looking star of all time.

I don’t like The Beatles. Drippy and wet.

Clawdy · 14/12/2021 12:40

Paul was gorgeous. I've loved him for most of my life!

Sparklingbrook · 14/12/2021 12:41

I don't see the Elvis attraction at all. He was very before my time but looking back at pictures he really doesn't do anything for me. My Mum even said she didn't see all the fuss. Grin

bluebell34567 · 14/12/2021 12:43

i dont like him.

bluebell34567 · 14/12/2021 12:44

and not sure about his talent.

[quote PaulForeverYokoNever]For context (as 1969 was not baby face Paul era):

He's always been baby faced. A beard doesn't change that.

I second that yum.

Angrymum22 · 14/12/2021 12:49

No I thought he came across as a bit of a prick in the recent documentary.
I was always a John fan.

Glad it’s not just me! I don’t find him good looking at all!
Sparklingbrook · 14/12/2021 12:55

Thank you @TheFreaksShallInheritTheEarth, phew! I find him slightly creepy.

FedUpAtHomeTroels · 14/12/2021 12:56

Hell No, he looked like a Bassett hound.

I second that yum.

Marc Bolan was the poster on my wall when I was 12. Nice.

I don't think Lindsay Buckham has been mentioned, has he?

He was so gorgeous when he was younger.

DontKnowWhatToThink7 · 14/12/2021 12:57

*Buckingham

magicstar1 · 14/12/2021 12:59

@MrsTerryPratchett I was going to post the same pic. That photo is just perfection!

Nobody has come close to him before or since, and in 68 he was stunning too.

As for Paul McCartney, I could never call him good looking at all.

Definitely Jim Morrison. He was a beautiful looking man, especially on stage in his leather trousers!

This makes me question myself, I'm 34 years old for gods sake. So cute though.

Is that George Harrison? I'm getting Nosferatu vibes from that photo.

DDMAC · 14/12/2021 13:09

EW, no definitely not
