Watched an old film the other day with Gregory Peck in it and he was so gorgeous and handsome. Just wow.

Harrison Ford circa 1981

I had a boyfriend early 90's who was the spit of Harrison Ford in those days (he is still very handsome now !) We went into a bank once and the teller began whistling the Raiders of the Lost Ark theme tune - totally off the cuff. I fell about laughing and he was most bemused until I pointed out the resemblance - which must have provoked him subconsciously ! My young niece, who had a crush on him (understandably, plus he was a very funny man) called him Indiana behind his back 😍

Ds (24) said he wants to see some old movies so we're going to watch It Happened One Night and The Maltese Falcon for starters. But now I'm going to have to add Roman Holiday having seen this thread and it's making me pine for Gregory Peck!

I was thinking we haven't been that international so I give you Shashi Kapoor; here In Shakespeare Wallah playing opposite very young Felicity Kendal. Loosely based on the acting life of Kendal's family. Kappor went on to marry Felicity's sister Jennifer in real life:-

He was gorgeous and my second love 😍

I've got to ask - who was the first?

From my English A-level days, may I throw a young John Donne into the mix?

Ooo, he has the gorgeous sensuous lips of Phil Lynott.

As a young teen my friend and I would go all swoony over photos of floppy-haired poet Rupert Brooke. 💓

That reminds me of two other beautiful wartime poets - Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen.

Yes young Richard Attenborough was good looking, also I give you John Mills (with another on the thread, Robert Donat) and David Essex again (as I know he made an appearance earlier, very nice)

I'm going to see David Essex in September, can't wait. I've seen him many times but not for a while
