Who do you think of as charismatic ?

Carol Klein.
Joanna Lumley.
Richard Burton.
Henry Cole of The World's Greatest Motorcyle Journeys. I could watch him again and again.
The man who works in my local library.
Joan Collins.

Judy Dench for sure but Ellen DeGeneres surely not

@ Annaram1
There were plenty of upper class english people who thought Hitler was great.
I've got an obsession with WW2 as well.

Yes, Richard Burton

And also Eddie Butler, rugby commentator.

Siobhan Finneran

Ruth Davidson
Joanna Lumley
Terry Wogan

I remember I met Karl Howman an actor I liked from Brush Strokes. He did say he would bring a signed photo next time he was in the gym I worked. That never happened in fact he didn't like to talking to anyone. Zero charisma.
Another dream came true when I got to see Diana Ross in concert only for her to cut her set short because someone was filming her

John Nettles
Sir John Mills
Katie Boyle
Nigel Havers

Terry Wogan for me as well.
I agree about Princess Diana, although I didn't particularly like her she was definitely charismatic.

Rufus Sewell when he was playing Lord M in Victoria.

I couldn't take my eyes off him

I think charisma is something you have to experience first hand. I don't think you can 'feel' someone's charisma through television, for example. Live theatre maybe.

Freddie Mercury

Grace Dent

Greta Garbo. Riveting in films, though of course I never met her.

Someone I did meet - Rudolf Nureyev. Charismatic on or offstage.

Sophia Loren

Marilyn Monroe

Judy Garland

Eartha Kitt

Michael Palin

Yanis Varoufakis

Winnie Ewing

Barack Obama

Cary Grant

Marilyn Monroe

I agree with pretty well everyone on Nortsat's list, and would add Michelle Obama. I met Princess Di once...very sad, not remotely charismatic, imo.

How many more times.
Diana, Princess of Wales, NOT Princess Diana.
She never was and never would be.

Jude Kelly. Jenny Murray.

Eazybee, what difference does it make?
And who gives a damn anyway?

Kitty
Is there not a thread where you don't mention the beautiful man ?
No ones mentioned the love of my life: Steve McQueen.
Having said that, I always had a feeling that he'd be as dull as dishwater in real life. ?

Princess Diana

Elvis.
