Did UK ever had so handsome prime minister?

First I'm not British, so probably not my place to write about this, but I like reading about your history and politics.

I can not name every UK prime minister in the last 100 years, but looking at their pictures I can not remember any other that was so handsome as Rishi Sunak.

His policies aside, he is physically just my type.

Anybody else thinks he is lovely to look at even if you do not agree with his opinions.

#NeverFuckATory - whether they look like Putin or George Clooney.

He looks like a bo selecta character or a caricature

musingsinmidlife · 25/10/2022 16:26

Ha! I was coming to say he looks exactly like a Mr. Potato head. Glad to see others feel the same. As though someone stuck eyes, ears, a nose, and mouth on a face. He is a sum of parts! HIs ears, eyes and nose are all very high up on a long face. I do not find him attractive at all.

I did a google image search and there are a handful of images where from the angle the picture was taken, he looks more attractive but most of them...definitely not!

Is it because he's the youngest PM for 200 years (or something like that)?

25 years!

@ArabellaScott
Happy to oblige - was tempted by some of the cartoons, but that seemed unfair in the circumstances/context. Didn’t check if his opponent was a wee child he concussed on returning their serve; but I think battering children while for some reason participating in sports sessions for them is an, er, achievement, unique to Johnson.

Dishy Rishi 😉

AuntieDickhead · 25/10/2022 16:32

Stanley Baldwin looked quite lovely to me.

Crankley · 25/10/2022 16:33

It's unfortunate his principles don't match his so called looks. I would prefer the former to the latter.

John Prescott, David Blunkett? You'd have loved Frederick North then.

Penny Mordaunt is far prettier (a bit like a young Catherine Deneuve) but what she'd have been like as PM who can say. I wouldn't trust any of this present lot further than I could throw them.

I knew her many years ago and I was not aware that she was widely considered pretty. However, she was constantly encircled by a bunch of Tory boys (a bit like Lady Gaga at an awards ceremony) so I guess that may have been an indication. I also never realized that her (now ex) husband was even in a relationship with her. He never appeared to receive any more attention or affection from her than all of the others. She was definitely a 'clear-your-plate' girl. When she made the comment about enjoying pie and mash in her latest campaign video, I believe that she was being absolutely honest. She always loved a hearty meal.

Mentalpiece · 25/10/2022 16:34

No. His ears look like they could pick up the BBC world service.
He's got a sly look about him.

OrangeCinnamonLatte · 25/10/2022 16:35

I've always thought David Lloyd George seemed to have a lovely twinkle to his eye. This might only be because I'm rather amenable to Dan Snow's twinkly eyes and they are related. 😍you can see the resemblance ? Perhaps I'm projecting.

Dishy Rishi a bit short for me but still quite handsome in his way.

Lesserspottedmama · 25/10/2022 16:37

Blimey, Anthony Eden’s second wife only died last year / at 101.

Will get out of Wikipedia black hole now.

Yes Boris is ghastly but I suspect he is just one of those men who for some undefinable reason is compelling when you are around him in person.

Woolwichgirl · 25/10/2022 16:41

Escaped from playground comment got me lmao😂

OrangeCinnamonLatte · 25/10/2022 16:42

Wikipedia black hole has inadvertently led me to photos of Justin Trudeau's backside 😯

Lesserspottedmama · 25/10/2022 16:43

People saying about young Boris… he and his younger brother look horrendously sinister and arrogant in their Bullingdon Club photos.

Penny Mordaunt has a lovely face and an attractive voice
Angela Rayner doesn't, screeches is botoxed to buggery and has ridiculous hair extensions.

Nick Clegg had echoes of Colin Firth.

I am confused and upset.

Not totally relevant but the other day I was in the same pub as Mr Firth at lunchtime and the same pub as Mr Clegg in the evening (different pub) - spooky...

Yes I’ve always thought she looks very similar to Catherine Deneuve (who was beautiful!)

This, too, has been suggested before ...

In what fantastical world is Boris considered handsome?

in parallel universe for sure....
Not definately in my ...

I read that as 'compelling when you are around him in prison'.

Which would lead me to reassess entirely.

Yesthatismychildsigh · 25/10/2022 16:50

He has a rat like face. Not good looking at all.

LMBoston · 25/10/2022 16:51

I once had a (brief) fantasy about a spit roast with Cameron and Clegg. It was around the rose garden time, the weather was nice and there was something in the air… that’s my excuse anyway.

CPL593H · 25/10/2022 16:51

I remembered what Francois Mitterand famously said of Thatcher

"The eyes of Caligula and the mouth of Marilyn Monroe"

I can't imagine it bothered her much Grin

Agree re Penny Mordaunt looking like Catherine Deneuve, always thought so but the comparison above is spooky! Both very beautiful, IMO.
