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?

Errol Flynn was my first crush (many years ago!). Then Paul Newman, Gregory Peck (especially in Roman Holiday - my most favourite film of all time). Also there was something about Alan Rickman which was really attractive and what a wonderful actor. Now it is Aidan Turner - so very handsome.

Cillian Murphy from Peaky Blinders, those eyes!

rubylady - I posted my favourite female on another post recently. Catherine Russell - Serena Campbell in 'Holby City'. I've always had a 'thing' for Julie Andrews as well.

...and his dogs are fabulous too.

Oh Monty Donn's dogs are so lovely - if he has them with him in his garden I don't take any notice of him because I am watching the dog(s).

Cary Grant was so suave and so handsome...My daughter and I are both smitten by his ageless charm.

When I was young, it was Elvis and Steve McQueen.

Now, Aiden Turner, Tom Hiddleston...Oh but, above all, the incomparable Benedict Cumberbatch. Not conventionally handsome but strangely beautiful, with such lovely eyes and that incredibly sexy voice! I'm afraid that I'm an elderly Cumberbitch.

Peter Egan loved him in Ever Decreasing Circles and still handsome.
Rufus Sewell as Lord M, Colin Firth, Peter Firth too.
Sportsmen: John Newcombe, Bjorn Borg, James Hunt, Jean-Pierre Rives, Rafa Nadal
Think they were/are nice people too, so many good lookers aren't. As my mother used to say - the chocolates are rarely as good as the box!
