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.

Erm..no. Never has been to me. But he’s had lots of beautiful ladies so he must have something! Maybe fame and money?

TanaMa Thu 18-Aug-22 19:15:17

Don't think he is handsome but, having had multiple wives, he must certainly have something!! Now uf you had asked about David Essex then definitely handsome and sexy!!

Dianehillbilly1957 Thu 18-Aug-22 19:37:04

I get you, I could never decide, he's definitely not handsome but there's something about him!

Maggiemaybe Thu 18-Aug-22 20:20:35

They look like a very happy family in those holiday photos. smile

SiobhanSharpe Thu 18-Aug-22 20:25:34

Attractive in a craggy way and looks good for his age. Mind you, with his money he should be!

jerseygirl Thu 18-Aug-22 20:31:31

I think he looks better as he gets older

No way, no sex appeal what soever, far from good looking and altogether not my cup of tea. I think you get the message, do not like him at all.

win Thu 18-Aug-22 21:30:09

I have just looked at the photo I like him even less now, what does he look like. If he was a lady you would say mutton dressed as lamb, nothing sexy whatsoever about him in my view, and good looking he is not. he. he sorry you did ask

Love his music but don't rate him as good looking. Bit of a rough diamond not my type

Kryptonite Fri 19-Aug-22 08:39:18

No, but he makes up for it by surrounding himself with beautiful blonde women.

essjay Fri 19-Aug-22 09:09:20

no and am afraid i dont think much of his singing either. sorry to all of you who are fans

I think he had a certain cheeky appeal in his younger days but not conventionally handsome, a bit like Ringo Starr, I always liked him though.

I saw Rod live some years ago and he put on a great performance. He looked quite small up on stage, but then he is very skinny. I think he has been lucky to keep all of his hair which has been his trade mark.

Charisma, charm, wit and intelligence outweigh conventional movie star looks any day. Beauty is ephemeral but the qualities I describe will endure all through a persons life. Rod has all of these qualities in abundance.

I like his voice, yes it's gritty and not smooth like the traditional crooners such as Bing Crosby,Matt Monroe etc but it has authenticity and realism. It suits the type of music. Rock music is meant to be real and gritty, even rock ballads benefit from some grit.

Some great songs too....over a long and illustrious career. He's now 77 I believe, healthy and in good nick and surrounded by the love and affection of his family.

He's obviously doing something right.

He's healthy now after overcoming prostate cancer.

DerbyshireLass Fri 19-Aug-22 11:00:44

Yes, it seems he's doing well now. Hopefully, by being so open and frank about it, it might help other men to seek medical help if they show signs of prostrate trouble.

Penelopebee Fri 19-Aug-22 19:33:03

Not for me. I had a bf when I was a teenager that was obsessed with having his hair like his. Bf was so much better looking .
I'm a Jon bon Jovi girl myself ❣️

Dressagediva123 Sat 20-Aug-22 08:33:19

Not in my opinion- looks like an old woman ?

Speldnan Sat 20-Aug-22 10:07:44

Not in my opinion. I used to like Steve Marriott in the Small Faces when I was a teenager but never him.

It's funny, back in the '70s I really didn't see it. But age has shown his personality and character - as others have said here that combination of mischievousness with the 'genuinely good bloke' aura can be much more potent than conventional good looks. Very manly without having to prove it. So, definitely attractive in that funny way that can be better than being good looking!
Adam Ant in the '80s ... oh my goodness. Ian Dury could look quite attractive sometimes. Bryan Ferry's almost too good looking, if that makes sense. There's something almost unreal about a chap being that ridiculously gorgeous! Heaven on the eyes and ears though. And though Richard Harris was much more famous for acting, I'll include him here on the strength of the Jimmy Webb songs and for being seriously attractive.

No. Yuk

CatsCatsCats Sun 21-Aug-22 09:59:49

Ugh, no, not at all.

henetha Sun 21-Aug-22 10:27:03

I wonder if Rod's reading this? Penny might be on GN, who knows.

Chestnut Sun 21-Aug-22 15:55:37

henetha yes the people we comment on could easily see these posts. I think people are very cruel and unthinking in their comments sometimes. Describing him as 'disgusting' instead of just answering politely is out of order.

Ps I do like Rod.

He must have some appeal, Penny thinks so anyway.

So, Penny, what first attracted you to famous, millionaire Rod?

Probably the same thing that attracted Carrie to Borris . Only in that instance it was fame and Power.

snowberry ? That was funny, wasn't it!

But I think she does love him. I expect they have their ups and downs but are still together after 20 years.

Paul and Debbie seemed devoted too.
