Is this the most handsome man ever?
Posted by Slotbadger on 12 September 2010 - 6:24pm.
The diversity and sheer quality of those beautiful beazels honoured on BigJimBob's current thread got me thinking of their male counterparts. Whilst I am to all practical purposes pretty much predisposed to women there are fellows who inspire admiration, appreciation and buckletloads of sheer, sick envy. I submit, Massive, my nomination for the most handsome chap in the world (or, at least in 1975).

Bastard, bastard, bastard, bastard, bastard, bastard, bastard...
Terrific actor, philanthropist, thoroughly decent bloke and impossibly handsome.
Bastard.
that's a thread closer
I would say
Oh please don't stop yet
This is a very interesting topic.
How about Marlon Brando in his delectable youth?
I'll see you Paul Newman and Marlon Brando,
and raise you... Robert Redford.
hard to warm to.
I can see that I should like him but it is a struggle. His film festival is a big plus in his account though.
Yep even as he got older
Paul Newman never lost the 'grrr' appeal, never went to seed, beautiful missus ("Why go out for hamburger when you have steak at home?)- the lucky bugger
And purveyor of fine Salad dressing too...
Agree, he's a close second for me.
Well I'd shag him
not that taht's any badge of recommendation.
During Danny Baker's short lived podcast experiment Bowie was my 'if you woke up gay tomorrow, who would be your ideal partner be' of choice.
I think you'll find the answer is...
I had a feeling
you'd post something along those lines (in the absence of a photo of my good self of course *cough*)
Well, you are the most handsome man
who wrote a clever thing about The Beatles today.
Cheque's in the post
Your wish, is my command...
I thought we agreed
never to mention my 20th Century Mexican boxer period...
Sorry Joe.
Now I remember, the first rule of your 20th Century Mexican boxer period is, we don't talk about your 20th Century Mexican boxer period.
Lest we forget
The 20th Century ended in 2000, so that pic of Joe should have a more accurate title, I feel.
Just saying.
Who's that?
I have no idea. He is quite handsome though.
Hm?
If you mean the marvelously besuited gentleman with the dark hair, then that's Don Draper (Mad Men character - the actor John Hamm is much less attractive when being himself). If you mean the other picture, then surely you recognise our very own Joe R?!
seems like an excellent reason to start watching Mad Men
I've never seen it. But now I think I should check it out.
Of course I know what Joe R looks like. He was on fine form at the drinks last week, winning most of his bouts. He only lost one match, and that was to Captain Underpants.
Oooooh yes, Don Draper please...
...but not Jon Hamm, oddly enough.
I'd also nominate Chris Issak and Gabriel Byrne, but can't do photos on this PC.
there's a difference between pretty boy and handsome imho
and I know what you mean about Don Draper (the character) as opposed to Jon Hamm the actor.
Something similar applies to Richard Gere who gave a brilliant performance against type playing an extraordinarily dark role in Internal Affairs - but is generally too pretty otherwise
David Beckham and Brad Pitt are too pretty. And The Light once opined that Alain Delon was just too beautiful. As is Helmut Berger. Just too male model perfect.
I think George Clooney is one of the few who could be be said to be both pretty and handsome - but there is something about his demeanour and his humour which is attractive.
Gabriel Byrne is attractive because he combines a ruggedness and a sort of hurt quality. Similarly Liam Neeson. Must be a Celtic thing with them.
Harrison Ford and Jeff Bridges and Clint Eastwood are good examples too. Rugged but not brutish. Tough yet tender. Like a good leather jacket.
as much as I love Bowie
he's a bit short and skinny. Incredibly stylish, but no.
As a bona fide bloke....
...my immediate enjoyment of this thread is providing more questions than answers.

I can see that..
You've asked yourself the same question twice! ;-)
I was never
confused
Two for the price of one
Here is one of my suggestions with one of the female candidates:
and then two guys called Terry
The Stamp:
The Hill:
For your consideration...
Oh, thank you.
My wife has just seen this picture. I feel rather inadequate now. And will do so forever.
He's also very good with his hands.
My vote would go to...
Marat Safin. He's a devastatingly handsome man. As the picture below illustrates.
Or then there's
Viggo Mortensen. As Aragorn. Obviously.
Wot? No Elvis?

I'm no expert, but...
I am officially
the most handsome man in my house. Although it was a close run thing with the dog.
Meanwhile....
over in rock & roll:
My wife assures me it's,
Beckham
I think it's
Ginola
Can I have another turn?
We've got to have some love for the ER doctors here:
George Clooney:
and Goran Visnjic:
Americans know how to cast these shows. We get bloody Charlie in Casualty.
You seem to have forgotten one...
No, no, that's OK
I'm not greedy, two will do.
The Clooney
Is an extraordinarily handsome man. I interviewed him once for a handful of minutes on a junket, LORDY. *Waves hands around face in manner of middle aged woman going through 'the change'.
Paddy
I hereby declare you handsome by proximity.
I am officially confused...
Those two make me feel completely inadequate...
... I mean honestly, they must just stare at each other all day long going "phwoar!"
YES PLEASE
*goes wibbly at knees*
How did he
go from skinny gawky looking clown to sex symbol - hugely so in the Gallic region? I ask from my seat in the skinny gawky looking clown section.
I just can't see it myself
The truth is...
I loved him back in the skinny gawky looking clown days too (OK, admittedly not so much in mojoworking's photo). And he's got even better with age. Roooooowrrrr.
Mmmm...
I wish a woman would say "Roooooowrrrr" about me.
I'm not a woman
but I think you give great blog
Patrick, I have no idea what you look like
but your writing and personality are entirely Roooooooooowwwwrrrrrrr.
...blushes....
Thank you.
That being so
I look forward to meeting you at the upcoming Word gig Hannah.
*adjusts periwig to a rakish angle*
Oooh!
Excellent. See you then, periwig and all.
When I grow up
Mrs H would quite like me to be...
(Without the hooker related murder, obv)
Surely
...
On so many levels
Agreed Paddy
handsome indeed.
Something mean and moody for a Monday morning?
Here, Aiden Turner is a vampire:
And here he's Rossetti:
Now hang on a minute!
Surely...
Separated at birth?
Obviously some sort of time machine would have to be involved.
The “on it” look possibly better than the “coming off it” look
Shortly after the thin white duke era – Bowie’s Low era look was slightly less appealing (possibly the effects of detox, possibly the “transsitttion” from drugs to booze???).
Its no wonder that he chose an old photo for the cover of low
Evidently
From The Thin White Duke to Mens Casuals at BHS, '77. Oh dear...
i am amazed that this guy hasn't come up yet
Mrs Squeezer has TOLD me to post these.
Those in the massive who have met me in the flesh,so to speak,will no doubt vouch for the fact that I resemble a startling melange of these two handsome gents with a dash of butcher's dog,well quite a lot of butcher's dog really.
Excuse my ignorance but
who is the second of your dopplegangers? (I don't get out/stay in much.)
Not 100% sure
but I think it's Gael Garcia Bernal (I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong)
It is of course the gorgeous
Gael Garcia Bernal. Mmmm...
When in Ancient Rome...
is it just me
Wahey!
Planet!
Hope for all the beardies and geeks
To be honest, a lot of those leave me cold (apart from Paul Newman, of course). I think I'm like a lot of women and find it hard to separate the look from the person, so my votes for best "brains/packaging combo" go to:
and
Good call.
They're both utterly lovely.
You get first dibs and I'll have whichever one you're not having.
We can work up a rota
... unless you're planning to lure them away with your scrummy-looking apple cake (should work with Guy by the looks of it!)
Oooooh good point...
I might be better off with Guy. I do like a man who likes to eat.
And thank you for the apple cake compliment.
I was going to suggest Brad Pitt...
... but he tries too hard, so I'd 'go gay' for Mr. Robert Hepler Lowe...
Literally the prettiest human being I've seen in the flesh
(or at least on stage in London). However, even with Aaron Sorkin putting words into his mouth, he still doesn't measure up to Guy or Jarvis (above)
Bowie....behave!
Year 1966.
Paul on the 'Paperback Writer' shoot, Dylan at the Albert Hall or the triple axis of Mick, Keith and Brian around the time of 'Have You Seen Your Mother?'/'Ruby Tuesday'.
Brian of course died in 69 but within five years, with the honourable exception of Paul, must have been the country air, they all looked awful.
All of that is true
but on the Paperback Writer/Rain promo films (shot in the grounds of Chiswick House, London) Paul is sporting an unsightly broken tooth and fat lip after going over the handlebars of his moped.
He still has the scar on his lip to this day.
Rock stars - ageing well
Stevie Winwood, Brian Ferry and Eric Clapton - still handsome fellows I would say.
And as for Mr Bowie - I saw him on a French TV advert a year or so ago and frankly he looked much better than he did 30 years ago
I've been single too long
I've definitely been single/miserable in last relationship too long, as I fancy a goodly 75% of the men posted on here.
That's not fussy enough, is it?
Yes, but do you
like any of the men in the photographs?
You are NOT Steven C, are you...
You're Frank C
(ps - Careful girls, he's taken!)
Rumbled!
And not in a good way!
Whither George?
All these posts and I´m not even mentioned
I combed my hair just last week, I brush my teeth everyday, can talk about feelings and I´m just awesome in general. Can´t help but feeling hurt.
Obviously, Ola, you're top of the list.
But no-one's mentioned it before because we didn't want you to get too big-headed.
Oh, I see
I knew I could trust you.
My wife asks..
Why no Jonny yet?
Not one of these pretty-boy poncing types. A proper roughty-toughty bloke. Just like me, obviously.
Roughty-toughty?
Immediately after that photo was taken, he was out of action for six weeks with a torn ligament
Yes, but..
..he probably did it whilst trying to tackle an articulated lorry, not tripping over a daisy.
