My Instagram just threw up a photo of Kate Moss and Johnny Depp from the 90s and it reminded just amazing they looked together (I think it reality it was a very different story). I then went down a bit of a rabbit hole and remembered Linda Evangelista and Kyle McLachlan and they were equally as gorgeous.

Anyone else?

Obvs this is lighthearted and just something to while away the last few hours of Friday afternoon.

Liz Taylor and Richard Burton

Do you honestly think they were gorgeous? All the pics I've seen show them looking haggard and older than their years from booze etc.

I think they were both past their peak beauty when they got together, and yes, the boozing didn’t help.

IMHO Richard Burton was never good looking. Liz, on the other hand, was gorgeous most of her life (when she was well/sober).

Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz

Both good looking, but, to me at least, looks too much like a hot dad with his daughter. 🤷‍♀️

MarmiteyCrumpets · 16/05/2025 21:27

Cary Grant and Randolph Scott

Isn’t the age difference between them just 2 years?

Dita73 · 16/05/2025 21:33

Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman

yes! He doesn't age well. 😧
And she is exceptionally youthful looking.

Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart

Pembrokecrier · 16/05/2025 21:42

It can only be Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman. No one else comes close

Clark Gable and Carole Lombard-he never found anyone like her after her death.

Laurence Olivier and Vivienne Leigh.

Michael and Paula-tragic for both but they sizzled.

More up to date, Callum Turner and Dua Lipa!

I've just thought of another one ... Monica Belluci and Vincent Cassell.

Jack Nicholson and Anjelica Houston

Richard Burton and Liz! Charismatic man with that resonant voice and such sexy articulation, and the unpredictable wild Liz. Unbeatable duo.

Helena Christensen and Michael Hutchence
Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder
Sophia Vergara and Joe Manganiello

Meghan and Harry. Both are beautiful and each other's ride or die

Edited

Personally I don't feel they're a good match & I predict a divorce in the next 10 years. Plus I'd hardly say he's 'beautiful'!!

I third this couple: Michael Hutchence and Helena Christensen

Definitely. I was well jell of Helena, & Kylie before her. He was literally sex on legs around that time. Though I'd have been far too scared to go to bed with him as he was apparently wild in all.areas of his life!
