Heartthrobs and Turn-offs

Good idea devongirl then we would be accused of being sexist or worse.

paddyann you have the same taste as me exactly ! I agree about the Kilt too .

Maybe we need a 2018 GN calendar!

In
Rufus Sewell ( in Zen )
Ryan Gosling
Tom Hiddleston

Out
Aidan in Corrie ( hearthrob ? HIM ? )

trisher ! Don't know whether to or .

Maybe we should ask GNHQ for a Top Ten Men GNers would like to ...... Looks like Clooney would get in and probably Rufus Sewell.

When I was young; Michael Rennie and Jeff Chandler were my heart throbs, and Victor Mature and Elvis were the turn offs.

Nowadays I go along with the choices of most of you...Idris, George, Rufus, Sean, although not Aiden. Turn off has always had Mick Jagger top of the list and the likes of Ricky Tomlinson, Johnny Vegas and Piers Morgan coming up behind him.

I misread yours Annie and thought you put Barry Humphreys .

On

Elvis
Levison Woods
Prof Brian Cox
Idris Elba
(I prefer slim men like my DH)

Off

Jonathan Ross
Russell Brand

Can't agree with Mary about Daniel Craig. Sex on legs imo

What fun!

Turn-ons
Rufus Sewell
Aneurin Barnard
Chiwetel Ejiofor

Offs
Aidan Turner
Daniel Craig
David Tennant (too up himself)

I might come back for more of each!

Rufus Sewell,ditto ditto ditto ditto ditto dittoetc etc etc etc

Turn offs ?
Haven't given it a thought.

Gérard Butler
Morgan Freeman
Jason Momoa
John Thaw

Turn off.......
Ryan Gosling!

Liam Neeson
Alan Rickman (never throught of him as a bit of rough!)
Ray Winstone
Idris Elba

All very strong males...mmmm!

Agree with Missadventure about Idris Elba, lovely. Also Laurence Fishburn. Cant take my eyes of Jeff Hordley in Emmerdale either.
Turn off David Beckham.

What wonderful, wonderful posts.
I am glad that we all have someone to love/lust after.
I have loved reading the lists.
Interesting that Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross hit the turn off list frequently. (Behaviour ...Personality ? )

Lucky you DanniRae, my OH was the spit of Robert Wagner in his younger days.
There are so many men who are/were heart throbs
Ty Hardin - Bronco
Clint Walker - Cheyenne Bodie
James Arness- Gunsmoke
Gary Cooper - High Noon
I was bought up on westerns and war films.

kittylester Alan Rickman when he was playing a villain was definitely my imaginery 'bit of rough' in a naughty way you understand!

As a teenager Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, Paul Newman.
Now, Pierce Brosnan, Liam Neeson and Denzel Washington.
Turn offs : anyone arrogant i.e. Jeremy Clarkson, several MP's and that John McCirrick ( spelling ??) used to make me feel physically sick !!

In my teens and watching old films on tele I really drooled over Robert Mitchum. That walk, that cleft chin.
In my mid years I liked Tom Berenger - sigh.
Now I like to look at Russell Crowe in Gladiator mode. What a hunk.
Because of his behaviour I can't take to Russell Brand - closely followed by Jonathan Ross.

HEARTTHROBS- it's not just about looks but personality and beliefs
*Patrick Swayze- I was lucky enough to meet him several times and he was a really nice guy but unfortunately reeked of tobacco!
*Richard Gere- attractive and a Buddhist
*Jacob Rees-Mogg...sorry everyone, for his honesty and intelligence and I find his quirkiness attractive

TURN OFFs
*George Clooney-too smarmy and a lefty, likewise Benedict Cumberbatch
*Michael Caine- boring voice but he is a Brexiteer so maybe I should reconsider!
*Mick Jagger- he's looked like an old man even when he was young
* Johnny Depp- I used to fancy him but he looks like a washed up old druggie now

Grandmasue - Colin Firth -' just out of the lake'! Ha ha, yes, OBVIOUSLY!

Perhaps we should have a 'heartthrob' (lust?) icon??? then again, perhaps not ...

Ooo
In the past
Robert Redford
Paul Jones
David Essex

Now
Tom Burke
Lord Melbourne in Victoria
Robert Redford

Turn-off Johnny Depp

So many reading this thread! Don't know if anyone has mentioned him yet, but Adrian Dunbar (line of duty)!

There are quite a few gay chappies in the heartthrob lists there. (Just saying)

I wish I hadn't posted so early - lots of names have come up that I could have included! Ciaran Hinds is an interesting one. Would feel totally feminine and protected in his presence.

Andrew Lincoln, too - wasn't he in "Love Actually" the one who was secretly in love with Keira Knightley?

Ons:
Aiden Turner (and I'd love him just for his voice even if he didn't look so divine)
Adrian Lester
Hugh Laurie

Off:
Alan Carr

Turn ons
Elvis ( 1950s)
Lord M, again
James Nesbitt, so twinkly

Loads more but sticking to rules.

Turn offs
Paul Hollywood, yes me too.
