Thought I've give my (very) shallow side an airing on this wet and gloomy Sunday.

Some guys I didnt think had it when they were younger though now think they do :
Sean Bean
Keanu Reeves
Jon Bon Jovi
Matthew McConaughey
Jerome Flynn
Iain Glen

Some guys who've always had it - and still have :
Antonia Banderas
Brad Pitt
John Malcovich
Viggo Mortensen
Daniel Day Lewis
Charles Dance

A honorary couple under 50
Tom Hardy
Andy Whitfield - lead in Spartacus, so very sadly died young

Ho Lee Cow......

Think I'll soon be reverting to my 1970's past time of putting posters up in my bedroom.

The gorgeous Tcheky Karyo from The Missing|

So many names I don’t know ( rushes off to google them)?
Martin Shaw looks pretty good for an older man doesn’t he?
He’s great in the Gently series.
kitty Rufus is all yours!
Yes, George Clooney looks much better with silver hair ( we have him under lock and key in The Argy.)

James Purefoy has always made me weak at the knees. And, of course, Bruce Willis (swoon)

And a fellow Gran from another website recommended this chap the other day - he certainly ticks all the boxes

Nicholas Cage
Tom Hardy

I really like the actor who plays Ray Crosby in Coronation Street. He does play a villain in Corrie, but he’s such a silver fox. Lovely bone structure, teeth, eyes, skin, hair, etc etc. Yes he plays a baddie, but he’s gorgeous!

Greyduster Sun 13-Dec-20 20:17:41

Absolutely Martin Shaw. And although he just sneaks into fifty by three months, Rupert Penry-Jones for his boyish good looks (I’m a cradle snatcher!).

Kate1949 Sun 13-Dec-20 20:16:11

I agree with Martin Shaw, Martin Kemp and David Ginola.
Also Paul McGann.
I can't see it with Rufus Sewell.

Ooh, definitely Rufus Sewell, plus the actor who played Cormoran Strike (can't remember his name)

Tom Burke.

But he isn’t over 50 surely!!!

You're right. My fingers seemed to type his name before I could stop myself (but I realised after I'd posted)

nanaK54 Sun 13-Dec-20 20:09:26

David Essex
Martin Kemp
Bryan Ferry

Georgesgran Sun 13-Dec-20 20:07:22

Ex Newcastle footballer David Ginola still ‘has it’ for me. His middle name is Desire which says it all!

Jaxjacky Sun 13-Dec-20 20:03:27

Marcus Wareing, John Barrowman (yes, I know), Samuel L Jackson, Steve Tyler, Will Smith and Bradley Walsh

Grandmabatty Sun 13-Dec-20 19:58:11

What about George Clooney? I think he's even more gorgeous now he's all silver

BBbevan Sun 13-Dec-20 19:52:19

Brian Ferry

Luckygirl Sun 13-Dec-20 19:40:28

I have just looked up Rufus Sewell......I mean looked up who he is, not..........!

He doesn't do it for me I am afraid. Too smooth; I like 'em rugged.

allsortsofbags Sun 13-Dec-20 19:36:34

James Purefoy seems to have aged very well too :-)

Elusivebutterfly Sun 13-Dec-20 19:34:47

I didn't like Martin Shaw back in the day when in The Professionals but when he started in Judge John Deed, I thought age had improved him!

It’s Robert Lindsey for me.

Ever, everyone knows that Rufus Sewell is mine!!

And David Essex.

Artaylar Sun 13-Dec-20 19:05:03

I've just thought of another one - Yanis Varoufakis ....sheesh

Right I'd better get out of here for that cold shower

Artaylar Sun 13-Dec-20 18:59:42

Alternatively a spot of ironing might do it
