What woman and man would you describe as truly beautiful?

[alfiesbabe]

And who would you describe as pretty? We were chatting about this at work today and I'm interested to see what everyone else thinks. My nominations are Brad Pitt and Cheryl Cole for 'pretty' and Jonny Depp and Penelope Cruz for beautiful. We also got onto the subject of supposedly pretty people who we think aren't - I'd put Victoria beckham in this category - she's vile!!

grr can't type today Mc Dreamy.

Helena Bonham Carter
KT Tunstall
Juliette Lewis

Antonio Banderas
Benincio Del Toro
John Barrowman

i can't think of many men over 25 that i'd describe as beautiful

That Olivier bloke who two-timed Kylie is absolutely gorgeous..what is his name ?? Also Brad Pitt in Thelma and Louise.

Beautiful women-Christy Turlington, Angelina of course.

John Barrowman.

[swoons and fails to recover enough to think of female equivalent]

brad pitt is beautiful

natalie portman is beautiful

David Essex was beautiful when he was young.

John Barrowman is gorgeous and scrummy and enchanting - but I don't think he's either beautiful or pretty. Just lovely!

David Tennant is pretty.

Agree Johnny Depp and Ralph Fiennes. Would be interesting to try and dissect exactly why we almost unanamously agree on JD, he must have a very 'universal' form of beauty.

as for women, I think 60's folk singer Sandy Denny was truly beautiful inside and out. and her voice was as beautiful as the rest of her. plus, she was womanly as opposed to scrawny. profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=69943690

Johnny Depp definitely!

JOSEPH fiennes, i mean, not Ralph!

I saw Tilda Swinton in a bar once and she was so beautiful - sort of luminous. Also Cate Blanchett and Angelina Jolie.

The ones I don't 'get' are Chloe Sevigny and SJP.

I don't think Brad Pitt is aging particularly well, though I saw a pic of him with a new haircut and he did look quite tasty.

Yes, Brad Pitt gets better with age. Rather like a fine cheese...
