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?

Agree about Rufus Sewell. Such intelligent eyes. Most handsome men I know are my husband, son, 3 SiLs and two gorgeous GSs. Intelligence, kindness and humour more important for me and, if good looks go with, perfect; if not, so what? Jean Dujardin (The Artist)not bad, either! No tatoos required.

Sorry - didn't mean to post twice. Another senior moment!

Does anyone remember a tv series called Wells Fargo? One of the actors was Dale Robertson. My eldest sister emigrated to the US when she was 21 and I was 10. Apparently I told her she should find Dale Robertson and marry him. Well she never met him until - would you believe it - I went to visit her when I was 21. By that time she was living in Texas and low and behold one evening we went to a restaurant and who should be there but this rather handsome older man - none other than Dale himself. We introduced ourselves and she told him what I'd said when she left home. Shame but he was already taken. A real gentleman though.

I'd settle for Richard Gere!

Lawrence Dallaglio (rugby) Aiden Turner & Johnny Depp.

Petra, you lucky lady.

I meant to add, but taller

I agree with Ray Winstone. I would, wouldn't i, my OH is a Ray Winstone lookalike.

Rapunzel100 Mon 26-Sept-16 17:22:26

I'd settle for Richard Gere!

Another vote for Pierce Brosnan here. And Sean Bean especially as Sharpe - yummy ! Oh and my guilty secret ?? Ray Winstone.

Oh for God's sake, Wobblybits. You are the hottest poster on Gransnet and the sight of your posts sends me all peculiar.

Mark Harmon, Idris Elba and Andy Sturgeon.

wiccibat Mon 26-Sept-16 17:12:35

Donny Osmond, Antonio Banderas, Bruce Dickinson, Marco Hietala, Sidney Potier, Brendan Fraser & Jack Black. They can all come round for tea!

clareken Mon 26-Sept-16 17:10:52

George Clooney yes, I agree about Rock Hudson and Howard Keel (maybe I also wanted to be Doris Day) and on that note James Garner. Pierce Brosnan yum, but Daniel Craig def no.

Yul Brynner and Rufus Sewell - sex on legs!!!

charliebb Mon 26-Sept-16 17:04:33

Month Don for me, good looking, intelligent, well spoken and charming, he has it all!

Lindajoy Mon 26-Sept-16 17:02:43

Aidan Turner or David Gandy for me!

bobbydog24 Mon 26-Sept-16 16:53:58

I think Yannick Bisson (inspector Murdock) and Michael Weatherley (NCIS) are handsome and very likeable. What my dad used to call real men. Johnny Depp, Tom Hiddleston, too puny and tormented. I don't know what all fuss is about David Beckham either.

Spangles1963 Mon 26-Sept-16 16:41:21

Nearly forgot,Rufus Sewell is lovely too.

Spangles1963 Mon 26-Sept-16 16:40:12

None of the so called 'Hollywood Heart throbs' do it for me. But I do think Sean Pertwee is quite tasty.

If I was a teenager today, my ideal man would be the very handsome (imo) Chai Romruen. He is the star of an Australian TV show, Mako Mermaids. Introduced to me by my granddaughter.
Johnny Depp is the man for me at present, but my husband comes a close second.?

Tegan Mon 26-Sept-16 16:23:45

I forgot about Sam Neill.

BlueBelle Mon 26-Sept-16 16:11:04

Old days Elvis, Yul(drool)Brynner, Sidney Poitier, Marlon Brando
Later Steve McQueen, Paul Newman, David Essex, Morgan Freeman
Now Idris Elba, I find Paul Martin of Flog it very lovely, Lemn Sissay

I've long had a thing for Bryan Brown. Remember him in The Thornbird? Richard Chamberlain was just too perfect in the looks department, but Bryan Brown - ahhh.
What about Art Malik too. He was in The Jewel in the Crown and is now in Cold Feet. Still very attractive. He has also been in a delightful film called Dean Spanley - with Bryan Brown. Oh my!

Peaseblossom Mon 26-Sept-16 15:26:01

Jeff Goldblum when younger maybe. Xavier Bardem and Ricardo Darin definitely not. I think they're ugly. I've always been keen on Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp.
