Cartoon Tarzan did it for me. But no one beat Fox Robin Hood, obviously.

It was Ren from Pirates of Darkwater, and Prince Valiant for me!

Arg, wish I'd not found this! It's too easy to keep scrolling.
Has Harry Belafonte come into it? So many images where he looks lovely and cheeky in the eye (right to his older years).
Strangely, I think he was also my Grandmother's pin-up, though she passed away a good while before I was born.

A (male) friend of mine sent me this one of Harrison Ford, commenting "I think I just turned gay" 😁

Glad to oblige!

@Needhelp101

Even though he's twenty years older than me, I still would.

@Blahdymcblahdyface oh yes, Mark and Jason were my first crushes! I was totally obsessed with Battle of the Planets 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

@Ormally he was an absolutely beautiful man, inside and out. And Jump in the Line must be one of the most joyful songs ever!

Ormally · 10/08/2024 10:53

@littleburn, I can believe that - just find everything about him very naturally sexy!

Stringagal · 18/08/2024 11:04

Pretty sure he’s been mentioned in this thread, but Alain Delon has died. RIP, handsome!

OMG - Alain Delon, those eyes - just mesmerising. ❤️

littleburn · 18/08/2024 12:05

@Stringagal he came up several times! Just came back on here to see if his passing was mentioned. So beautiful ❤️

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:-

Edited

Oh lovely film and lovely actor - I had a picture of him stuck to my homework diary at school 🥰

GreenShady · 18/08/2024 12:43

@Stringagal oh that's sad 😢

Didn't realise that's why this thread had been added to - I've just been enjoying it for the first time.

I'd like to make a contribution: Steve McQueen again,young Sting and another one of Shashi Kapoor

Indeed. Beautiful to the end. He was one of that cohort of stunning male actors of the sixties, Tom Courtney, Albert Finney, Peter O Toole, Oliver Reed etc , but the only one who stayed stunning to the end. Cheekbones will triumph!

RIP Zog.
