Handsome men.

As an elderly person, I think Cary Grant, Robert Mitchum, and Gregory Peck would be described as handsome, but can't get enthusiastic about any of today's " stars".
Brad Pitt does nothing for me, ditto Johnny Depp .
Thoughts?

Jon Bon J o v I is maturing in a very handsome way. I had to spell it like that as the tablet keeps changing his last name to 'moving'.

Apart from wb wink
I enjoy looking at Mr Cluney, Mark Harmon and yes Johnny Depp

Linsco56 Sun 25-Sept-16 19:08:37

Eric Bana, Henry Cavill and a young Steve McQueen.

DH doesn't look like any of them! ☹️

Hmmn, Harrison Ford ( years ago, about the Star Wars time) George Clooney ( also a few years ago)Tom Hiddleston, Rufus Sewell ( also a few years ago......you can see the theme here!)

I've just remembered Rupert Graves. Yes to him. I have a type; dark, with dark eyes, and a roundish face ikwim. wink. Kind of baby-faced.

BBbevan Sun 25-Sept-16 19:21:37

Bryan Ferry?

Alima Sun 25-Sept-16 19:28:37

Wobble - phwoar!
Also the chap who played Andy in Enders. Very easy on the eye.

Then:

Richard Burton - handsome as hell.

Now:

Poldark (wouldn't kick that one out of bed in a hurry)

kittylester Sun 25-Sept-16 20:27:00

I agree with Monica - not that keen on handsome but attractive characterful faces.

Poldark, Lord M, for now!

harrigran Sun 25-Sept-16 20:33:26

Not over keen on modern film stars, Steve Mcqueen was a bit of alright. Wobblybits is probably more my type grin

TriciaF Sun 25-Sept-16 20:51:27

And mine - nice smile, wb

Wobblybits Sun 25-Sept-16 21:02:22

Ok let's not go overboard, my ego won't stand the shock grin

Thingmajig Sun 25-Sept-16 21:12:15

I've always been a bit partial to Mr Gere and he only gets better with age! smile

stillaliveandkicking Sun 25-Sept-16 21:14:09

Totally agree Thing... Mr Gere is very handsome.

NotTooOld Sun 25-Sept-16 21:56:53

I don't think I go for conventionally handsome. Mark Rylance is short but very attractive - it's the eyes, I think. Johnny Depp as the pirate was yummy but not recently. Agree about Bryan Ferry (whatever was Jerry Hall thinking of?) Young George Harrison although probably moody. Prince Harry, yes, quite dashing. Pasha off Strictly, yes, young Terence Stamp - yes (eyes again). DH has the eyes, too. Not Mr Gere, he's too smooth. -Quite fancy Michael Portillo-

NotTooOld Sun 25-Sept-16 21:57:38

Why didn't Michael Portillo get crossed out? confused

SueDonim Sun 25-Sept-16 22:14:37

I've got Leonard Cohen's Chelsea Hotel as an ear worm now. 'You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception.' grin

Interesting that no one here has mentioned Benedict Cumberbatch as their dream boat, when he seems v popular with the youngsters. He doesn't do it for me, either, I must say.

Johnny Depp I like though he needs to give himself a talking to before I go off him. Rufus Sewell I've adored for years. Matthew Maconaghy is easy on the eye as well and Tom Hiddleston. I loved Marlon Brando and Paul Newman, too.

Brad Pitt does nothing for me, nor Matt Damon. I can't even tell them apart! grin

gillybob Sun 25-Sept-16 22:19:13

Omg I forgot Monty Don TriciaF his voice is so gorgeous . I said to DH on Friday night that I would sleep very well if he ( monty not DH) talked me to sleep. NTS it didn't go down too well .

Ana Sun 25-Sept-16 22:22:55

Benedict Cumberbatch always looks ill to me. Not attractive at all, although he does have a pleasant voice.

NotTooOld Sun 25-Sept-16 22:26:22

Monty Don is quite handsome but because I know he suffers from depression I am put off. Am I heartless?

Rosieroe Sun 25-Sept-16 22:59:07

Jason Momoa (Khal Drogo in Game of Thrones).

Envious Sun 25-Sept-16 23:00:44

Paul Newman,Idris Elba,John F. Kennedy Jr.

merlotgran Sun 25-Sept-16 23:07:13

I honestly can't find anything the least bit attractive about Benedict Cumberbatch.

Paul Newman in Exodus had my teenage heart a flutter!
