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.

Colin Firth
Monty Don
Rick Stein
Bill Nighy

Honorary under 50 - Bradley Cooper

Nigel Havers in a posh sort of way.

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

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.)

The gorgeous Tcheky Karyo from The Missing|

Glorybee Sun 13-Dec-20 21:07:25

Charles Dance.

Oh my word how did I forget Marti Pellow

Kate1949 Sun 13-Dec-20 21:09:13

Oh yes Marty Pellow is cute.

It’s a bit of a strange one but I find Hugh Grant more attractive now he’s older.
I know - he can be brusque and arrogant, but there’s a twinkle in his eye that I like.

lemongrove Sun 13-Dec-20 21:20:50

I agree Puzzler he has aged very well indeed and doesn’t look at all smooth and plasticky with ultra bleached teeth like a few actors.He has also matured well as an actor.

Peter Barlow , Corrie

Greyduster Sun 13-Dec-20 21:23:29

Robson Green.

lemongrove Sun 13-Dec-20 21:23:37

In fact, thinking about it, the actors who look the best ( both men and women) are those who have had minimal ‘work’ done on their faces.
Hugh Grant looked good in the recent tv series, whereas Nichole Kidman looked rather weird.

Puzzler61 Sun 13-Dec-20 21:24:45

I was surprised how good he was in the recent film “Paddington 2”. It was a very different character part to most things I’ve seen him in (he played a baddie).

Ian McShane, those eyes,

lemongrove Sun 13-Dec-20 21:33:25

Lovejoy?

TrendyNannie6 Sun 13-Dec-20 21:42:52

Dolph Lungren, David Ginola, The Rock

Elusivebutterfly Sun 13-Dec-20 21:45:37

Blossoming - I preferred Ian McShane when he was young.

joannapiano Sun 13-Dec-20 21:46:14

I had a strange crush on Eric Morecambe for a while. I always did like a man who makes me laugh. (As DH does.)
Otherwise Brad Pitt every time.

TrendyNannie6 Sun 13-Dec-20 21:48:13

Oh dear the rock is only 48 sorry Dwayne, Bruce the boss springsteen

Blossoming Sun 13-Dec-20 21:50:46

I have never found George Clooney attractive.

Jaffacake2 Sun 13-Dec-20 21:51:35

Cat Stevens still has twinkling eyes !

Blossoming Sun 13-Dec-20 21:56:08

Lemongrove Deadwood

honeyrose Sun 13-Dec-20 22:19:22

Yes Storynanny - Peter Barlow! Didn’t realise how good looking he was until recently, even though i’ve watched Corrie for ever. I think he’s got better with age.

Bixiboo Sun 13-Dec-20 22:22:22

Yanis Varoufakis definitely Artaylar, saw him on Question Time 2 or 3 months ago and he’s still got it for me!!
