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.

No he's not and never was good looking. Now he's just a sad, old man who is scared of being old.

I don’t think he’s sad, he’s always looks full of the joys of spring to be fair! Nothing wrong in trying to hang on to your youth if it makes you happy. Better that than the pipe and slippers, surely?

I used to be crazy about him but it may have been more form his choice of songs. I'm glad to hear that he's a nice bloke; I always had a suspicion that he was rather full of himself (goes with the job I suppose).

Maggie Mae, Waltzing Matilda, and so many more lovely songs. I think "Every beat of my heart" should be the national anthem. It makes me well up every time I hear it. In fact, I'm getting a bit emotional even thinking about it. Probably expat blues.

Seagull carry me, over land and sea
To my own folk, that's where I want to be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home

And we'll drink a toast
To the blood red rose
Cheer a while the Emerald Isle
And to the northern lights
And the swirling pipes
How they make a grown man cry

No, he never was and never will be but he can bash out a good song so that's good enough for me.

Iam64 Tue 16-Aug-22 08:20:27

No and my impression is he isn’t a particularly nice man

Sings a good ballad though

BlueBalou Tue 16-Aug-22 07:43:55

He has that je ne sais quoi, I think he oozes charisma and seems to be a genuinely nice guy.
I love his songs, always have ?

shysal Tue 16-Aug-22 07:41:01

A 'NO' from me too! I do like his songs though.

Clawdy Tue 16-Aug-22 07:38:56

Never found him remotely attractive, and he always seemed rather full of himself and annoying.

nanna8 Tue 16-Aug-22 06:54:55

I liked his voice but not his looks. I always thought he looked a bit ratty. Different people are attracted to different people and I suppose that is what makes the world go round! I used to like Warren Beatty, thought he was gorgeous back in the day.

Men in general don’t need to be good looking, it’s all about the personality that suits “you”. Celebrities if they have a special skill or gift, like Rod Stewart or McCartney or Jagger still command audiences of thousands wether he is good looking or not

Chestnut Mon 15-Aug-22 23:51:07

I agree with the general consensus, attractive but not conventionally good looking. He definitely has a certain something. Never liked his voice but enjoy watching him perform.

Kim19 Mon 15-Aug-22 23:20:55

He certainly never did it for me

Elrel Mon 15-Aug-22 23:15:43

His voice is sexy but I think I would have to see him live to decide whether he appeals to me.
One singer who impressed me as sexy in every way was Leonard Cohen. He didn't always treat women well however. I’m glad he and Marianne retained a close friendship until the ends of their lives.

Shinamae Mon 15-Aug-22 22:58:39

I have always been very attracted to Rod Stewart but then I’m also very attracted to Ronnie Wood although I don’t think he’s aging quite so well as Rod..?

BigBertha1 Mon 15-Aug-22 22:47:06

No and he can't sing or dance either. He fooled lots of people into thinking he can though. His bank manager loved him.

SuzieHi Mon 15-Aug-22 22:43:00

No, but he’s got a glint in his eye and a personality that shines through. He puts on a good show and has the chat. That makes him attractive.

Allsorts Mon 15-Aug-22 22:39:15

I did not think Rod was ever sexy or good looking, I could never see the attraction apart from the fame or money, which I wasn't interested in. Now David Essex was, way back.

Elizabeth27 Mon 15-Aug-22 22:25:17

I think it is his personality that makes him attractive.

If he was just a bloke on the street that you didn’t know then no, I do not think he was good looking.

Lexisgranny Mon 15-Aug-22 22:18:33

No!

Dizza25 Mon 15-Aug-22 22:18:26

I don’t think he’s sexy!!!!

Nannagarra Mon 15-Aug-22 22:17:50

Two bottles Sago? My friends suggest a paper bag over the head in such circumstances but I much prefer your suggestion.

Bryan Ferry. Now you’re talking, Grannybags.

Curlywhirly Mon 15-Aug-22 22:10:57

Not handsome, but certainly had a rugged charm.

SpringyChicken Mon 15-Aug-22 21:55:37

Casdon

Well - he’s a lot better looking than Barry Manilow, and a lot worse looking than Bryan Ferry - so somewhere in the middle I’d say?

Reminds me of that old joke

Q How do you make Barry Manilow's nose a foot long?

A Fold it in half.
grin

henetha Mon 15-Aug-22 21:38:50

Not classically handsome maybe, but he has a certain appeal and suits his looks. I loved his voice for many years. He's my 4th favourite singer.

Callistemon21 Mon 15-Aug-22 21:28:47

Ps I do like Rod.

He must have some appeal, Penny thinks so anyway.
