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?

Aaron Paiulof Breaking Bad
Adrian Lester
Rory Kinnear

In their prime Paul Newman Steve McQueen

Aaron Paul!
In the States and clearly my jet lag has taken over!

I rather liked Sanjeev Bhaskar (Indian Doctor series) and Rufus Sewell as Lord M of course.

SueDonim Mon 26-Sept-16 20:18:45

How could I forget Alan Rickman??? I met him once and his personality was electrifying. I could barely utter a word in response to him I was so overcome despite being a 40-something married mum of four! grin

Any/all of the Musketeers would suit me fine, too.

Rufus Sewell is lovely, and, oh, how I envy his cheekbones!

I think the most attractive men are the ones who can make me laugh (that's with them, not at them!)

Although, I'm 82, I've been told, I'm still a handsome man.

I've fancied Rufus Sewell for years, he was wonderful in the Zen series.

Do try the books by Michael Dibdin they are brilliant.

Currently George Clooney and John Hamm from Mad Men. In the 60s definitely Terence Stamp

In young days it was Cliff Richard, Paul McCartney, Scott Walker. These days David Essex definitely still has 'it', as does Shaggy (the singer not from Scrooby Do lol). Also happy to watch Aided Turner, James Nisbet, Rav Wilding and Giovanni from Strictly. Was never that into films or film stars and still not.

David Beckham without the tattoos

Brad and Johnny Depp do nothing for me either. I like Piers Brosnan Richard Gere

As a teenager I loved Errol Flynn and Tyrone Power, David Niven. Then it was and still is Cary Grant and Gregory Peck. Aiden Turner does nothing for me.

Ladeez, Check out The Irish Farmers book & calendar ( Amazon) images also on Irish Post web site and let me know what you think.

I find it is men's bottoms that appeal to me - not the naked kind! those which are closely covered in whatever, and a little tight!
It's o.k. though, because I am at an age when I can say that. (I hope!)

shock

montymops Tue 27-Sept-16 11:21:43

Mark Rylance definitely - also Philip Glenister, Russell Crowe and Hugh Jackman - don't like the smoothies much - although Colin Firth is good.

montymops Tue 27-Sept-16 11:23:41

Just seen someone likes Cliff Richard - I suppose a lot of people do - but has no sex appeal whatsoever!

JackyB Tue 27-Sept-16 11:54:58

It looks as though no one has mentioned Bruce Willis yet. So I have him to myself. Yay!
