Cat Stevens,my husband looked just like him,my OH has aged better though..lol

The guy who plays Rick in Holby he has a wonderful face and a beautiful smile

the lovely Sam Heughan from Outlander ...well who doesn't like a man in a kilt

other than that I rarely notice what men look like and usually just their face or smile ,my friend swoons over rugby players thighs ...I think thats hilarious

I was thinking recently about my favourite heart-throbs over the decades.
Also which actors/celebrities actually turned me off !
My heartthrobs are :
George Clooney (just think of the Nespresso ad!)
Aidan Turner (imagine Poldark)
Tom Hiddleston (remember The Night Manager)

My absolute turn off would be ... Arnold Swarznegger
So come on GN's ....three hearthrobs and one turn off.
