Is Rod Stewart good looking?

When he was younger I mean.
Although I’m sure some people still think he’s sexy grin

I can never make my mind up about him.

Absolutely NOT.

SparklyGrandma Thu 18-Aug-22 11:24:15

No. He needs to change his hairstyle.

Also, I’ve heard that he is allegedly horrifically mean. Not an attractive trait.

When younger, loved some of his music. First Cut Is The Deepest?

Sad to be commenting on how "good looking" ANYONE is!! Its all personal taste-we all have different ideas of appeal, but I wouldn't like to be graded on "goodlookingness"!! And if this was a female celeb there would be outrage!

I don’t think he did himself any favours singing in the concert he sounded awful, I think these ageing singers should know when it’s time to give up before making fools of themselves not just Rod there are a lot more I could mention and I think fans would prefer to remember them sounding better

Lesley60 Thu 18-Aug-22 11:18:48

Omg no in my opinion he has never been nice looking

At the Jubilee he has just recovered from Covid but performed as he didn't want to let people down. I didn't think he gave a bad performance. He said they insisted he sang Sweet Caroline I think it was. People were grumbling that he didn't do one of his own songs.

He was never really my type, but I’ve seen him twice in recent years and he came over as a great showman and a genuinely nice bloke. Not sad at all, though old in the scheme of things, yes of course (and aren’t we all?). He even allowed fans to get on the stage while he was performing to have photos taken with him. And whatever his past love life, his love of and pride in his family just shone through.

I was sorry to hear he performed badly at the Jubilee recently, though I didn’t see it myself.

I mean, I can guess. But I have re-read the OP, was it meant to be a 'fun' question Kandinsky?

Fleurpepper Wed 17-Aug-22 08:31:45

what's a 'fun sponge?

The fun sponges are certainly out on this thread.
Those exempt know who you are ?

I saw Long John Baldry, Rod Stewart and Elton John all performing together in Derby in 1967/8. I didn't really realise how iconic they all were.

I saw Long John Baldry with Rod Stewart in the 1960s (didn't notice Rod at all) but didn't see Elton John until a few years ago. Or perhaps I didn't notice him either!

Not good looking in my book but I can imagine he was a "charmer" ...Now Elvis ,he was certainly good looking !

Honestly? Never 'got' Elvis either!

Yes he started life as a busker I think.

At Twickenham Station where Long John Baldry discovered him.

Ooh la la
He wears it well
Have I told him lately that I love him
Do I think he’s sexy
Forever young
Some guys have all the luck
I don’t want to talk about it
Tonight’s the night

Not good looking but attractive, great songs and a certain sex appeal imo

On one occasion when my sisters went to see Rod, Long John Baldry was the support. The fans were chanting 'We want Rod' throughout his performance. They said it was very sad as I believe John discovered Rod busking at a railway station.

Same here, Callistemon, probably at The Marquee Club in London, back in the day!

Thank goodness someone else on here agrees!
Long John Baldry was Elton John's inspiration too.

Grandma70s Tue 16-Aug-22 15:39:15

I know the name but I had to Google to see what he looks like. The answer is definitely NO.

Pammie1 Tue 16-Aug-22 15:27:15

I don’t think he’s traditionally good looking but I do think he’s attractive - he’s charming and likeable. It’s about his dress sense and the way he carries himself too.

Calendargirl Tue 16-Aug-22 15:19:41

David Bowie looked so much better after having his teeth fixed.

Washerwoman Tue 16-Aug-22 15:16:44

Not good looking in a conventional way but then overly handsome men aren't always the most attractive all round.I like personality and a sense of humour and think Rod has that.I enjoyed his autobiography far more than I expected and think the way he so obviously close to all his children speaks volumes.
