Men at their Most Beautiful

I did not like Heath Ledger in his role as “Joker”.

Birthday boy (40) Julian Morris

Cesar Romero Glamor Shot

Brendan

I never understood Gisele’s appeal.

Robert Taylor

I’ll bet Gisele and Heath would’ve made beautiful babies!

Gary Cooper.

Enrique Rivero

Fyvush Finkel

So...lanky, r8.

Fred Williamson.

Lee Canalito

Larry

Jason Priestley.

Was Gary Cooper gay? He looks flaming in R8's pic.

This guy.

Tony Danza.

Toshiro Mifune.

Hot Stalin

Paul Newman.

George Maharis

Al Pacino.

Needs no introduction dude.

Timothy Dalton.

Tristan.

Gone Gone

Es Harris.

STOP OP.

Randy

Buster Crabbe.

Johnny

Stop what, r29?

This was about 25 years ago.....

Ramon Novarro

Someone is posting movie stars from 1925- Was the poster born in the 1890's?

Robert Conrad

Perry King in “The Wild Party”

I'd forgotten him looking that good in it, r38. But I don't remember much of it at all.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers.

R38- I think he looks even better here in the January 1985 TV Guide.

Steve Rally

R40- I NEVER found him beautiful or even in anyway attractive.

In that photo he looks as QUEER as a 13 dollar bill.

Heath Ledger's looks were overrated, IMO.

Ken Olin

[quote] Was Gary Cooper gay?

That's a big fat NO. He was quite the ladie's man. Being married didn't put a dent in his womanizing. Poor Patricia Neal had an affair with him; she thought he would leave his wife and marry her, but he didn't. He stayed married to Veronica "Rocky" Cooper until death did them part.

Tammy

I mean, Tammy.

Johnny Depp

Ryan Philippe in 54

Take away from r43 - men who look gay can't be beautiful.

KILL YOURSELF NOW, would you? Thanks doll.

Cary

R51 👍

R20, I picked a guy up off Christopher St. that looked just like a young Stalin, unnervingly so.

Got him home and his feet were so beat up and dirty it was a boner killer.

Ghastly, R54, simply ghastly. But that was 40 years ago. Pity the trauma put you out of the game so long.

Gilbert Roland

Joseph Gordon Levitt. Inception.

Tom Hardy. Also Inception.

Harry Bellafonte.

How about some music?

Twofer.

Guy Madison and Robert Mitchum.

R49 something about young Johnny Depp in your picture that reminds me of Austin Butler. I don't think Butler is as good looking, but the resemblance is there.

Jon Bernthal.

I like his rough looks better than the beautiful ones, though.

Chang Chen - Dark Cloud from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

CHristopher Atkins.

Ricardo Montalban.

Ricardo Montalban - this time the beefcake version with a winning smile.

I watched "Flesh" (1968) last week, for the first time in ages. I'd forgotten just how beautiful Joe Dallesandro was in it.

Sean Connery was more sexy, but could also be beautiful-adjacent, even in terrycloth.

Leslie Cheung and Tony Leung - Happy Together.

Avan Jogia

Buster Crabbe was indeed one of the all-time beauties, but I don't think that's a great pic of him. I like this one better, even though it doesn't show his magnificent body.

Paul Walker

R66- He looks really good in that photo, far better than he looked hawking the leather interiors of Chrysler Cordobas or as the character on Fantasy Island 🏝.

River Phoenix never lived long enough to see his beauty diminished.

Did you pick a nose yet, OP?

Viggo Mortensen.

Another Gilbert Roland to add to r56.

Wesley Snipes.

Tyrone Power was perhaps the most beautiful male when he started in films in the mid 1930s. When died at age 44 of heart attack, the result of heavy drinking an chain smoking, he looked over 60.

Josh Bernstein's feet

Oopsie

Ale. Baldwin.

Jeremy

Maxwell Caufield

Parker Stevenson

Ted Danson was gorgeous in Creepshow.

Tony Curtis

Mel Gibson.

Mel Gibson was definitely the most handsome man until some unknown force turned him into an ogre.

Pretty is as pretty does, r90.

If twinks are admitted…

Don Grady.

Don Johnson at the outset of his career.

After that he seemed kind of oily and artificial.

Rick(y) Nelson

John Schneider.

Nicholas Clay from Evil Under the Sun.

Obligatory ass shot of NC in the beloved black swimsuit.

^ What a gorgeous ass too.

Matt Dillon. He has multiple stages of male beauty.

Michael York looked beautiful on Jacqueline Bisset’s arm in Murder on the Orient Express.

Nicholas Clay was gorgeous

Jorge Rivero

Jimmy Smits.

Some men were born to wear a suit.

Jimmy Smits: one of the few actors I like less than Ben Affleck.

[quote] Some men were born to wear a suit.

And so it is.

Burt Lancaster in 1946 at the beginning of his career.

In OPs Pic Heath looks like Austin Butler before Ausitn had his nose job and Gizzy looks meh before her surgeries.

[quote] In OPs Pic Heath looks like Austin Butler

How are they similar?

Alas, poor Jorge...

They had faces then, r106.

Yul Brynner.

Master of the fuck stare.

Andrés García. He morphed into an astonishingly fuckable telenovela daddy.

Stewart Granger and James Mason.

A young Sean Connery when he was still posing (letting old men suck him off for money) for a living.

Andrés García from r112. The novela years. Masculine mature reframing.

Devin Franco

R49 Wow. I've never seen that picture before. His face truly was a thing of beauty.

Ben Barnes

Bea Arthur

John Stamos

oops

I adore Mandingo-era Perry King.

So far, I haven't seen:

VAN WILLIAMS

ERROL FLYNN (pre-1940)

KENT McCORD

JEFFREY HUNTER

THOMAS JANE

LEX BARKER

STEVE COCHRAN

JEFF CHANDLER

FRANCO NERO

FRANK CONVERSE

CLINT WALKER

GARDNER McKAY

Tom Daley

^ then get busy

you lazy whore!

I was just about to post Franco, r123...

Chris Evans

Redford and Newman

R94, IMO, Rickey Nelson got better when he got older and let his hair grow out

Poor Rick

He did get hotter but his cocaine addiction was growing too.

Cary Elwes, but it didn’t last long.

^ Cary had the very definition of beautiful DSLs - Dick Sucking Lips

So many luscious men.

William Shatner was a very handsome man when younger.

Terence Stamp.

Bill Conrad

it's the best I could find

^ if you have a taste for young suckling pig

Clive Owen.

Where's Montgomery Clift and tyrone Power? Huh?

Michael Bergin

^ Why are you unable to post - you lazy cunt!

[quote] Where's Montgomery Clift and tyrone Power?

What's wire hangers doing in this closet when I told you: no wire hangers ever?!

Young Pedro Almodovar.

Federico Garcia Lorca

Ty was Bi. Had a torrid affair with Judy Garland.

R57 Why Joseph 14 years ago? He still hasn't hit puberty NOW

a tennis two-fer

clint Eastwood

oops

Wow, Clint Eastwood looked really different.

LOL R149

Maybe this is what you had in mind, R148

[quote]I adore Mandingo-era Perry King.

While we're on that subject, I adore Mandingo-era Ken Norton

Antonio Banderas

More shirtless Clint Eastwood

Mel Gibson when filming "The Bounty"

While Antonio Banderas has not aged nearly as badly as some, like Cary Elwes. James Spader and Brendan Fraser, he's totally lost his sex appeal, IMHO.

[quote]While Antonio Banderas has not aged nearly as badly as some, like Cary Elwes. James Spader and Brendan Fraser, he's totally lost his sex appeal, IMHO.

Based on what, R157? His role in PUSS IN BOOTS? I know someone who saw him in COMPANY in Madrid, and he said he's still got plenty of sex appeal.

You know who....

He was so nubile in Hawaiian Eye...

Steven Bauer. Scarface era.

Imagine being the recipient of this stare.

Yeah, Steven Bauer was breathtakingly beautiful.

John Terlesky

I'm finding Bob Conrad's short chubby yet muscular legs extremely erotic!

He shows more flesh on Hawaiian Eye than he did on Wild West, r165.

I met Heath Ledger at a film premier. He wasnt dressed up and had his hair cut very tight. He was short and absolutely nothing to look at. We had chatted before a friend said to me, hes somebody isnt he? I honestly thought he was a runner or someones assistant. He was very friendly, slightly hyper, and i spoke to him after the film too. He was in a grey sweatshirt and trainers and i was sure he was maybe a cameramans assistant from one of the multi tv stations present. He was so nice, chatty and totally down to earth so i found that attractive but the height made him Cute if anything.

Damn. I only know John Terlesky from a TV movie in which he played a rapist, and he was hot as hell in that. Gonna have to check out THE NAKED CAGE, whatever that is :-)

r166, I'm old enough to have seen and "enjoyed" Conrad on Hawaiian Eye in its first run but I don't remember the shortness, chubbiness and hairiness of his legs being as exposed as they are in some of these PR photos. Anyway, I love them!

Do you remember the times he sang, r169? He was just cooler than cool...or at least he sang like he thought he was.

Here, for you ancient queens, Thespis.

I can't say I ever remembered Conrad singing publicly but I sure enjoyed that interview with Dick Clark you posted. Thank you, r170.

Otis Young. from the late sixties series The Outcasts with Don Murray.

He had a bit of a recording career, r172, and he sang on at least one episode of Hawaiian Eye.

Patrick Warburton

The first time I saw him he was a stunningly gorgeous & built hunk while starring as the hero in a 1980's era steamy, Caribbean potboiler flick.

After that, he next turned up to my eyes in a reoccurring role on Seinfeld by which time he looked sloppy.

Oh, what a loss!

This guy⬇️⬇️⬇️

OMG, r175, who knew he used to be an ingenue?

The older, thicker, furrier Patrick Warburton is sexier, though.

Sometimes beauty is sacrificed for carnality.

I prefer the latter, every fucking time.

R167 Heath Ledger was 6'1". Unless you compare him to basketball players, how was he considered short?

Beau oui, comme Bowie

Paul Lynde

^ OMG, he looks exactly like my Aunt Angela!

R167 Fail. Met him several times. We saw eye to eye and I'm 6'.0.

Did your Aunt Angela get married in satin, r182?

[quote]Did your Aunt Angela get married in satin

Yes, several times as a matter of fact.

Gyllenhaal is 6 ft even so R167 is obviously on fantasy island.

Ricky Martin.

Heath Ledger would have been 44yo this year.

La Bomer

^^^

R103, looks like he is morphing into Jim Belushi now.

Ken Wahl

Heath was a cute surfer dude

Gyllenhaal 6ft? I don't believe it.

Time for some serious journalism.

Marvin Gaye.

And that's in shoes, maybe with lifts. I'd say Jake is 5'9. That is how tall he looks in pap shots.

Jared Leto

and his face isn't even his biggest asset

Joey Stefano

Marvin Gaye was beautiful, those eyes.

You need to tap the image to see the full splendor of Gary Sandy’s beauty.

Rock Hudson.

Gary Sandy was indeed sexy but don’t really consider him quite beautiful.

The beauty lies below the belt buckle.

Ramón Novarro.

More Ramon Novarro!

Armand Assante

Andy Garcia

Omar Sharif and Peter O'Toole

Kevin Zegers

Not a major actor but he was beautiful when younger.

Henry Cavill

Remember: all actors lie about their height. Actually, almost men, actor or not, do.

In fact, they lie about anything they can measure.

Agreed on Kevin Zegers. I'm glad someone remembered him.

Stephen Moyer and Alexander Skarsgard

I disagree with Steve McQueen, Pharrell Williams, Bradley Cooper and Ryan Gosling. They look fine but they're not especially handsome.

Handsome and beautiful and hot are not synonyms.

Who hits the trifecta?

Men lie about their height, r213, women lie about their weight.

I would say that the faces of Bradley Cooper and Ryan Gosling, for example, are not conventionally handsome or beautiful, but both men are still terrifically hot and sexy overall. I'm not familiar enough with Pharrell Williams to comment on him, and Steve McQueen never did a thing for me as a sex symbol.

Steve McQueen always seemed like he stunk of whiskey and cigarettes.

For R207

R218 9 inches cut..

Rick Springfield had a good run as a pretty boy.

For one brief shining moment he was beautiful.

Silent film star Nils Asther was as dandy as they come.

He looks striking. Beautiful occasionally.

Beauty is in the eye of the cinematographer.

Dylan Rieder

Kurt Cobain

R225 Leonard Pinth-Garnell he looks striking . Beautiful occasionally.

Joan Crawford in a foul mood because Nils Asther’s eyebrows are dominating hers.

[quote]How did he get to wear the fur?

She got to wear the LL dress.

Perry King looks fantastic still, at the ripe old age of 74.

For me the most gorgeous men in film and TV all appeared between 1945 and 1965. I guess it was really about the styling, attitude, clothes, hairstyles, degree of muscle, etc. But then, I'm a baby boomer, so perhaps it was all about my impressions as a child.

For example, nothing could be a more sexually charged image for me than John Gavin, shirtless, in his dark dress pants with a leather belt, in Psycho. He didn't even need Technicolor. Forgive me for not providing a link. Remember, I'm a baby boomer.

I said Stewart Granger and James Mason, and I mean Stewart Granger and James Mason.

Fred Williamson was so handsome.

Heath was prettier than Gisele, wasn’t he?

Luscious

[quote]Luscious

Everywhere *except* the crotch.

Heath was never "pretty"

He was prettier than he is now.

Is this what you're thinking of, R233.

Exactly r238.

And yet, still prettier than Gisele…

Richard Chamberlain

Montgomery Clift

Francis Lederer

JFK Jr

I agree about Richard Chamberlain, but I would say there are far better pix of him than that one. Though, of course, that partly depends on one's personal preferences in terms of age, styling, etc.

Tab Hunter

JFK Jr had a good body but I never liked his face. Maybe just me.

His face could be a little rough-looking, but also cut, like this.

The whole package made me wet.

Probably one of the most beautiful men to ever walk the Earth: Guy Madison.

More Francis Lederer.

I just saw him opposite Mary Astor in Midnight. Debonair!

The bad Don Ameche and Claudette Colbert in the leads. I was sure at how handsome Ameche was.

You are seriously posting photos of men born in the 1800s. Dear lord in heaven.

Heath Ledger looks like Andy Gibb in OP's photo.

Justin T

Who are the gays clutching their pearls at old-time photos?

David

Ken Olandt

R3 Best cocksucker in Hollywood according to the gossipmongers.

David Chokachi

Antony Hamilton (RIP)

Athlete and actor Woody Strode.

Ivor Novello

R23 Mason liked to hang his lip on a stiff one, didn't he?

What difference does it make what year they were born?

Is David Chokachi any more available to you than Franicis Lederer, r252?

More Francis Lederer - by command!

That guy at R136 looks like an overfilled Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade balloon.

EVERYBODY RUN, HE'S ABOUT TO BLOW!!!

This is the longest a thread like this has ever gone without Jon-Erik Hexum.

William Conrad takes precedence.

Kelly Slater entered middle age, went bald, and got more beautiful.

R248 It's just you.

R267 Correcting a mortal sin.

How fucking old are you kweens?

Do you need some attention, r271? Is that what you need?

[quote]Is David Chokachi any more available to you than Franicis Lederer, [R252]?

Excellent question. Some people here are so goddamned annoying, childish, and stupid.

Your Mr. Gardner McKay...

Gardner McKay was gorgeous

I was looking for a different photo of Matt LeBlanc, it was a vintage style portrait I saw in an ad in Movieline, but this will do.

Efrem

Matt LeBlanc on the cover of Spartacus gay travel guide.

Maybe I’m in a bit of chubby chaser phase right now, but I’m back in the mindset I get every few years where I’m shocked at just how hot young Orson Welles was. Plus that voice and that brain!

r9, who is that? he's hot

R280 apparently cannot read Spanish.

Rufus Sewell.

R30 Can you imagine jaws dropping as Randolph Scott and Cary Grant walked into a room together? Talk about a dream team. I'd have loved to witness that spectacle.

Richard Chamberlain was at his best looking in The Thornbirds.

Almonzo Wilder aka ‘Manly’

@ R267

They didn't call him 'Big Bill' for nothing!

Actually I don't know what you consider tall, but even though I never met Heath. I saw him at the Toronto Film Festival. He was tall. About 6'2"

January 22nd is the date he died.

Colin Farrell.

This or his sextape.

He was also very hot as a vampire in Fright Night.

Colin Farrell answers the upthread trifecta: he’s beautiful, handsome, and sexy.

Drunks are never sexy

Farrell was also stunningly hot in Joel Schumacher's Viet Nam era flick called Tigerland.

It contained a steamy shower scene.

R280 - Enrique Rivero was a very enigmatic actor in the '20s and '30s, mainly in France and Sweden (where he was known as the Swedish Valentino). He's most famous for the lead role in Jean Cocteau's "Blood of a Poet" (1930), one of my favorite films. He was apparently in trouble with the law a few times and the scar on his back so noticeable in Cocteau's film was said to have been the result of being shot by a jealous husband. He was actually from Chile and retired and died there.

Timothy Olyphant

^ what a goober!

Brendan Fraser circa 1997

Steven Bauer in high school - 1973.

Steven Bauer in high school - 1974. He continued to get better looking as he got older.

I'm really concerned by the way some of you define "beautiful"

None of those pics are Olyphant are very good, nor is the second pic of Bauer that was posted, PLUS they were VERY young when those pics were taken. But both men are beautiful, except maybe in the eyes of blind people like R298.

^ You admitted that the pix aren't very good...then you accuse the poster of being bling?

R300, because it's SO EASY to find far better pics of both Bauer and Olyphant. There's at least one great pic of Bauer earlier in the thread, and here's Olyphant. Now shut up.

R7 Yes!

Colin Farrell looked better when he grew up and put some weight on.

[quote]I'm really concerned by the way some of you define "beautiful"

For a true paean to DL bad taste in men, do not miss the "I bet you have never seen a better-looking and hotter guy than this!" thread.

To me, Tim Olyphant gets better looking with each passing year. I’m loving the touch of grey/white he’s gotten.

Clooney.

George Clooney has classic movie star looks. Very few of those left.

George Clooney reminds me of Cary Grant. Yes, his look is a throwback. Even his voice is deep. There's barely any leading man left who look and sound masculine. And yes gay man can be masculine.

Chrissy Metz reminds me of three Rosemary Clooneys and Jabba the Hutt.

Tim Olyphant has gotten weird and sketchy but undoubtedly more handsome.

What does Chrissy Metz have to do with a thread on beautiful men?

That is a beautiful photo, R305. Thanks.

[Quote]You are seriously posting photos of men born in the 1800s. Dear lord in heaven.

and there are several photos of Heath and JFK Jr who are about as available as men born in the 1800s. The thread didn't post a timeline R252.

R249 He does nothing for me.

Hey Methuselah at r313, it has nothing to do with availability, just not being trapped in the ancient past.

R315, you are more tiresome than an entire bottle of Ambien. Piss off.

You're very limited, r315. Were you home schooled?

Tim Daly

William Zabka looked so angelic when young.

R318 Tim Daley never really made an impression on my until I saw him in person, he was super good looking.

*Or Daly

[R320] He was exceptionally handsome, in my opinion. Where did you see him?

R322 Williamstown Theatre Festival. He was there to see David Schramm (from Wings) in a play. He was hanging out on the lawn with his wife and kids.

[Quote]Tyrone Power was perhaps the most beautiful male when he started in films in the mid 1930s. When died at age 44 of heart attack, the result of heavy drinking an chain smoking, he looked over 60.

Here's Tyrone at age 41 and he's still a handsome masculine man He appears around 17:30

R324 I thought he had a hereditary heart ailment.

R269 I guess so. He does nothing for me. I guess he looks like Jackie? JFK Sr. was much better looking.

[Quote] I thought he had a hereditary heart ailment.

Tyrone Power was as many were back in the day a heavy smoker and died in Spain when he suffered a heart in attack in1958 while filming a scene with George Sanders. His father died of a heart attack at age 62 and his mother lived to be 77 and died in 1959 a year after her son died.

[R323] Thanks!

R327 Wikipedia and other sources said he probably had a hereditary heart ailment. Even heavy smokers don't usually die at 44 of heart attacks.

Thyago Alves the most lindo real estate agent in Brazil.

[Quote] Wikipedia and other sources said he probably had a hereditary heart ailment. Even heavy smokers don't usually die at 44 of heart attacks.

Nothing like Wikipedia for specificity and absolute certainty.

R329 Younger guys are smoking—and vaping—more. Sure, overall smoking rates have fallen, especially among the over-65 crowd, who have finally gotten around to kicking the habit. But among 25- to 44-year-olds, there are still a whole lot of smokers—twice as many as in the older demographic—and they have the cardiovascular health to show for it.

It takes only one cigarette a day to boost a man’s risk of coronary artery disease by nearly 50 percent, according to a recent BMJ study. And people who think they can avoid that risk by vaping or Juuling are fooling themselves. E-cig users push their heart-disease risk 40 percent higher than that of nonusers; stroke risk jumps 71 percent.

Tyrone Power was one of Judy Garland's gay/bi boyfriends. He seduced her and of course their affair didn't last. But Gerald Clarke, the author of "Get Happy" , desbribes it as the grandest of love affairs, very serious indeed. He claims Judy had to abort Power's baby because marriage was just on feasible for either of them at the time. It's said that Judy sent Power swoony love letters while he was off in the Marines ; he would read them to his buddies. She found out about that and ended the affair. But in Gerald Clarke's hilariously worshipful biography of Judy (he paints her a a blameless victim doomed to drug addcition by Louis B. Mayer and her evil incarnate mother) he insists that Power did NOT read her love letters to his buddies and that Power was crushed by the breakup. Clarke insists that Judy still "occupied his dreams" and that when he saw "Meet Me In St. Louis" at a military outpost theater he was in 'delicious agony" at the "full vibrancy of the warmth and fire in her brandy brown eyes", reminding him of "all that he had given up." Clarke goes on to say that Power wrote a friend and moaned these 'drenched with longing' words; "My God, but she never looked more beautiful." Actually the one who seems "drenched with loinging" is that big ol' Judy quuen Clarke. I've read several bios of Juidy Garland and none of them trumped up her brief alliance with Tyrone Power the way he does.

IN teresting that such heavy smokers as Bette Davis, John Wayne and Joan Crawford didn't die of heart attacks in the 40s then.

in the same way it's interesting that such heavy drinkers and drug users like Johnny Depp and Keith Richards are still alive while Judy Garland died at 47.

Beautiful Stephen Boyd was a heavy smoke and died of a massive heart attack in 1977 at the age of 45 while playing golf

^smoker

George Burns (not beautiful) lived to be 100. He smoked cigars all the time. I gather he had his fair share of drinks, too.

R338 is an urgent plea for this thread to get back on track.

Marlboro Light fan Luke Perry suffered a stroke and died at age 52

Syd Barrett, crazy diamond for sophisticated queens.

This thread is outstanding proof that men are the fairer sex. Problem is, straight men don't moisturize and take care of themselves the way women do. Time is a cruel mistress, but we'll always have the photos. Siempre viva!

It's funny there are straight men who even think men are more beautiful and age better than women. But their dicks don't respond to males. Men worship muscular and athletic handsome men. The idea of women being more beautiful wasn't even commonplace until more recent times and women consistently perpetuate the idea that they are the fairer sex. A beautiful woman (without makeup, long hair and jewelry) in ancient times was rather treated like an extraordinary rarity and blessing from the gods.

Hey, r343, let us know when the shuttle lands.

My aunt smokes and is 90. Outlived my mom who didn't smoke.

[quote]It's funny there are straight men who even think men are more beautiful and age better than women. But their dicks don't respond to males.

Jon-Eric Hexum

Helmut Berger ("Dorian Gray" - 1970)

Brando...

R347 It must have been tough on your mother, not having any children.

Pierce Brosnan, Remington Steele era.

Gerard Depardieu. The actor who most quickly went from hot to not.

Indeed... Depardieu's morph over time has been incredible to see! Or should I say, "incredibly tragic to see"?

i know vaping is very bad, a friend of mine is always coughing and miss work due to cough/lung issues

R333 I was just watching The Razor's Edge. Tyrone Power is such a stiff! Gene Tierney is ravishing, but the hair stylist for the film gave her one of the weirdest hairdos I've ever seen. It's hard to see Judy giving herself forever to someone as second-rate as Power.

Youth is not wasted on the young if they never grow old.

Alain Delon.

More Jon-Erik.

Charlie Hunnam headlining The Monster-Mania autograph show March 10-12 in Cherry Hill New Jersey.

Had to briefly mention this: For the next "Cover Up" TV episode after Jon-Erik Hexum's death (a memorial tribute), they actually mis-spelled his name TWICE ("John"). And co-star Jennifer O'Neill has been married NINE times!

Thanks, R362. That is unfortunate. And there are actually THREE errors in the spelling of his name in the crawl at the end of the final scene, because they spelled it John Eric Hexum, adding an "h" to the first name, spelling Eric with a "c" instead of a "k," and also leaving out the hyphen.

R363, you're right. How did they do such an idiotic thing, especially when they got his spelling correct in the first 6 episodes - the main titles? They must've really been shaken up. All 20 episodes are on YouTube (I did not care for his replacement Antony Hamilton).

R365, I have no idea how that happened. I guess the crawl and the memorial card at the end were a rush job, and maybe they left the actual typing to some intern. Whatever the reason, it's unfortunate.

Also interesting how the camera doesn't show us Anthony Hamilton's face as he's delivering the tragic news. I wonder if that was because his acting wasn't up to snuff for that moment?

Robert Wagner, 22 here, turning 93 today!

^Pardon me, it was Feb. 10 when he turned 93.

damn, he looked like matt damon in R369

Wow, it took 351 comments before any mention of Marlon Brando, yet some queens on here think Timothee is the second coming...

Back when he wasn't acting like a twat on social media.

I think there's only about two demented kweens here who think Tim O'Tay is in any way hawt.

R374 Yessir. DL's shitty moderation and anonymity is why trolls prosper on this site. And it's impossible to block people as well for some reason.

R375, what do you mean when you say it's impossible to block people?

You can block people. You can't block threads.

Oh, thanks, R377. What's the point of blocking an entire thread when you can just ignore it? And if you have responded in a thread and then later decide you want to ignore it and don't want to keep getting notifications when people post in it, you can just click on the "eye" icon to turn off notifications. So you can "block" it in that way.

[quote] What's the point of blocking an entire thread when you can just ignore it?

Yeah, that works maybe 25% of the time.

More Peck in dreamy mode.

R376 The blocking doesn't always work long-term. There's accounts I blocked but ended up unblocked eventually. And then there's some people who just can't seem to be blocked for whatever reason. And also even if you manage to block, people can just easily make another account. Which our resident trolls do. Overall, the site is extremely buggy and may benefit if they create sections for threads like politics, pop stans, gay porn, frau topics, etc should be categorized. And instead of downvoting, trolls who repeatedly break forum rules should just be banned after three strikes.

Dylan McDermott was such a beautiful DILF in American Horror Story. I can't believe he was nearly 50.

Ah, yes :-) Here's another breathtaking photo of Franco.

And another, this one from CAMELOT

Jon-Erik again, because one can't get enough of him: perfect face, eyes, voice, hair, physique, natural hairiness. Here he's wearing the classic Members Only jacket. Do you think they can exhume the body, extract the DNA, and 20 years hence we can have a new star of TV/Film/Theatre without that ghastly accident? It worked in Alien³.

R405, I agree that, on top of everything else you noted, Jon-Erik Hexum's incredibly sexy voice helped make him a devastatingly attractive man.

Harry Hamlin, 1982

That photo title at R407 is screwed up. It's Michael Ontkean's character in the movie who's a doctor. Harry Hamlin's character is a novelist.

Marlon Brando in A Streetcar Named Desire

As handsome as Harry Hamlin is, Michael Ontkean may be more beautiful.

I was a big fan of Dylan McDermott and was disappointed seeing him in person, first in a play about 12 years ago, and then in a hardware store in NY about 10 years ago. Somehow the camera makes him a lot sexier. And his hair and scruff have an odd reddish tone which doesn't flatter his olive skin.

Those 3 pics of Franco Nero - to swoon over!

You’re correct, R408. I should have noticed that.

Franklin Pierce aka ‘Handsome Frank’, 14th POTUS.

I just watched In Close Range fir the first time in decades, and Sean Penn is just stunning in the movie.

Oliver Reed

David McCallum

Randolph (Randy) Mantooth

Christopher Reeves

The only reason to watch Poison Ivy 2.

Chris Reeves was only sexy sans the wheelchair.

It’s Reeve without the s, gays.

R421, lobbing in a French word doesn’t make your post any less inane.

It is a given that Chris Reeves was insanely hot before the wheelchair.

Thanks to the members who reminded us of the often sad-appearing (haunting) beauty of Oliver Reed as seen here a few posts ago and also for posting a photo of Sean Penn when he was at his prime of youth! I had no idea that Penn ever looked that good!

And of course earlier on there were multiple shots posted of Franco Nero from his own "prime"! It's easy to see why Vanessa Redgrave fell for him back then as they filmed Camelot! FYI: They married several years ago in their elder years and I sincerely wish them happiness together!

One of the more recent offerings by Redgrave that I caught was a 2-part Brit movie called '"Man in an Orange Shirt" that starred the stunningly hot Oliver Jackson-Cohen & also the sexy Julian Morris.

Steve Reeves did choose to go for the “S,” and it stands for “Stunning!”

Shawn Penn looks terrible these days. Being married to Vadge will do that.

And, speaking of looking terrible, I suggest that "Vadge being Vadge & with herself, has also done it to herself!

I'm sorry, Heath was ok, not some incredibly handsome guy. He looked like a young Barney Ruble

[quote]My aunt smokes and is 90. Outlived my mom who didn't smoke.

You do know what anecdotal evidence is, right? If not, look it up. The fact that your aunt had the good luck to live to 90 while smoking doesn't prove anything. I'll bet she would have been healthier at 90 if she hadn't smoked at all. For scientific studies to be meaningful, you have to study a large number of people, not rely on anecdotes about smokers who lived to a ripe old age. There is no question smoking is harmful to your health. Many of the socialites Truman Capote liked to hang out with died in their sixties after decades of smoking. Ask a chronic smoker with emphysema if they're happy with the choices they've made in their life.

Michael York, R100? Really? I've never thought of him as handsome.

The subject of the thread doesn't necessarily suggest that they ARE all beautiful. Just referring to when they were at their most beautiful. For most people, they peak around 22 and it's downhill from there.

I've heard more than one person complain about Christopher Reeve's difficult, unpleasant personality on film sets. That would take away from his good looks. Not sure what the problem was. Maybe fame went to his head.

Robert Redford and some dame

Sean Bean

Jude Law

Pictures don't do him justice. When I first saw "The Talented Mr. Ripley", I was stunned at how beautiful he was.

[quote]I've heard more than one person complain about Christopher Reeve's difficult, unpleasant personality on film sets.

I've always heard and read quite the opposite.

R435. I think that's because Jude Law's physical beauty, though considerable, was not the major asset that made him so attractive. It was largely his voice, his manner, his body language, a general sexiness about his personality.

Your sources are suspect, R436. I heard an interview from someone who directed him. He said he was sorry that Reeve had had the accident and was paralyzed but he was a truly miserable person to work with.

R436 I have read lots of good things about Chris Reeves as well. That he was always a sweetheart and advocated for others if they were mistreated. I could believe that he became a cunt after the accident though.

Great point, R437.

Agree about Jude Law. He was an incredible beauty for a brief period.

People, please. His name was Christopher Reeve. Not to be confused with George Reeves (who had previously played Superman) or Steve Reeves. This shouldn't be so difficult.

This was before the accident, R439. Maybe there's more to the story. Maybe his career was in decline at the time and he felt he was too good for the movie and the director and he wasn't shy about letting his unhappiness show.

R443 That is a possibility. I think I read that he turned down a ton of huge roles over the years because he thought they were beneath him. Maybe he had a huge ego that eventually stopped his career from moving forward. Then the offers stopped and he was left with crap.

R444, if you look at Christopher Reeve's career, your theory doesn't stand up. I don't think he turned down roles because he thought they were "beneath him," but because he felt they weren't interesting for whatever reasons. At the height of his fame, he played a gay man in DEATHTRAP and a pedophile child kidnapper in a TV movie called BUMP IN THE NIGHT. Also, his role in REMAINS OF THE DAY was a fairly small one, but that was a prestige project. I think he chose his roles based on the characters and/or projects that he found interesting and/or challenging.

Aside from Superman, he is not known for any other roles. So he was a huge failure. That had to hurt.

R446, the role of Superman has tended to overshadow all other roles for any actor who played that character, for reasons that should be obvious. That said, Reeve had a fine career on film and onstage outside of Superman, as anyone with any real knowledge of film and theater knows.

[Quote] That said, Reeve had a fine career on film and onstage outside of Superman, as anyone with any real knowledge of film and theater knows.

That said fewer people see a Broadway show during its run than see an episode of any popular TV show or film. Outside of Superman what films was Reeve in that were popular or well-known except perhaps the romantic drama Somewhere in Time? And did Reeve appear on Broadway after the success of Superman?

I saw Remains of the Day and forgot he was in it. He didn't have much presence on film. He was basically window dressing. I saw Street Smart which is a good film, but I remember Morgan Freeman and Kathy Baker.

And who saw or remembers the remake of The Village of the Damned, Death Trap, Noises Off, The Bostonians and Monsignor?

Chris Reeves career amounted to nothing in the end but he had a great ass before the wheelchair. At least he could actually act and was great with Margot Kidder.

Kriss Rieves

[Quote] the role of Superman has tended to overshadow all other roles for any actor who played that character, for reasons that should be obvious.

They don't call it the Superman curse for nothing.

R448, "The Bostonians" was well received, and it was another prestige project. Christopher Reeve had a very respectable career, especially for someone afflicted with the Superman curse. And I assume he would have continued to have a respectable career if not for the accident.

[Quote]"The Bostonians" was well received, and it was another prestige project. Christopher Reeve had a very respectable career, especially for someone afflicted with the Superman curse. And I assume he would have continued to have a respectable career if not for the accident.

After that prestige project The Bostonians he did films Switching Channels, Morning Glory and a lot of TV films: Bump in the Night, The Rose and the Jackal, Death Dreams . . .and appeared on TV shows like Frasier and Tales from the Crypt. His career stalled years before the accident.

I think the only films beyond SuperMan he might be remembered for are Somewhere in Time and Mousetrap.

^ Deathtrap (1982) not Mousetrap R454 which like Noises Off (1992) did not transfer well to film nor do well at the BO.

Radiant ragazzi.

[quote]And who saw or remembers the remake of The Village of the Damned, Death Trap, Noises Off, The Bostonians and Monsignor?

Just because YOU didn't see or don't remember them doesn't mean you should speak for everyone. I'm sure THE BOSTONIANS in particular is well remembered by a lot of people.

They look like twins in, OP's photo.

R457 No it ain't, fuckhead. No one gave a shit for Chris Reeves, regardless of your trolling.

R459, do you keep misspelling his name to show your disrespect for him, or because you're a congenital idiot with a language disability? Or both?

99% of all "actors" that go to H'wood fail. Chris Reeves was one of those failed "actors". So what? Life goes on.

We seem to have largely veered away from the thread topic and gone down a rabbit hole..

Exactly. Chris Reeves had his 15 minutes in the 70s with the first two Supes films. After that it was over. The world got over him.

Not atypical for DL R462. Why not carry on and add something you think would be appropriate.

and now to get back to Chris Reeve I never heard any or knew anyone who saw The Bostonians have you R457 ? The Remains of the Day is an excellent film, but I'd forgotten he was even in it. Most people even those with knowledge of film and theater associate him the Superman films and the horse-riding accident.

Tom Cruise

Gisele really looks homely next to Heath.

Young Harry Belafonte…cream

[Quote] Gisele really looks homely next to Heath.

Neither one is particularly good looking in the OPs pic

I was just watching The Razor's Edge. Tyrone Power is such a stiff! Gene Tierney is ravishing, but the hair stylist for the film gave her one of the weirdest hairdos I've ever seen.

R357 Her hairstyles were true to the periods in which the film was set. Post WWI (1918) to the mid-1930s.

Innocent…

Who is that at R471?

R472 DL fave Brenton “is he or ain’t he” Thwaites.

Rob Lowe -Outsiders

Gary Cooper.

This fellow from a 1963 yearbook.

R476 - Is that Don Grady from “My three sons”? Very hot. He’s got Paul Walker vibe

R477, that person bears only a faint resemblance to Don Grady.

358 replies before you got to R359 Alain Delon, the most beautiful actor who ever lived. You guys must have your taste up your ass....oh wait...

Giselle has a big anorexic head.

R431 disagree that for most people their peak is 22. I would rather say that it is late 20s, even 30 for some.

22 still lack some expression and style. Yes they are beautiful, but they mostly lack something.

27, 28 is the magic number in most cases.

Nope. Most people will never be hotter than they are at 22. Except in Hollywood where they try and buy their youth until they are 70 like Vadge.

I think beauty peaks differently in different people. I've known a couple of guys who you could seriously categorize as beautiful in their late teens and their looks were already noticeably diminished by the time they left college. A few others didn't look their best until perhaps after age 30. I'm seeing it as a combination of genetics and lifestyle.

True. Obv for the last 300 years smoking, add drinking and being in the sun all day aged people like fucking hell. Even back in the 1970s the girls especially looked 20 years older than they actually were. Now, when most Americans and Canadians are 70 to 80% grossly obese or humongously, galactically obese like Christina Metz, people are absolutely grotesque.

[quote] Most people will never be hotter than they are at 22.

Paul Newman was fugly in his early days. He had to grow into his looks.

I've often wondered if you asked old men what age they would like to return to (if they could), what age would that be. I mean, when you were at your best. Most would probably say early 20s, maybe? Or late teens when you could cum the best. Some people in their thirties, when they had completed all their education (including life education). I don't suppose anyone would choose 40 or later.

Divine would have chosen to be 40 when he was 400 pounds.

Or, R485, maybe that was just a terrible photo of Paul Newman. That can happen at any age.

In like Flynn.

Brandon Flynn during that first season of 13 Reasons Why was like pure manic pixie gay dream boy, just stunning.

Antonio Cipriano is just stunning in this video exuding charm and charisma off the charts, especially when he does that key-change break a third of the way in.

Jim Morrison

[quote] But isn't her personality pretty much intact?

No, this new version makes her much more warm and fuzzy and comforting. Death was never like that. When Rainie Blackwell, the "Element Girl" who wanted to kill herself encounters Death she assumes she is there to end her life: "Blessed, merciful death...you're come to make it all stop." And she tells her no, she didn't come for her, she came for a woman upstairs and heard Rainie crying and and came to investigate. She listens to Rainie but is not what you'd call sympathetic. She tells her "I'm not blessed or merciful, I'm just me. I've got a job to do and I do it." She suggests Rainie to ask the Sun God Ra to release her from her tormented existence, which he does by killing her. She's reduced to a pile of crumbling ash. Looking at the remains of Urania Blackwell Death says "Have fun, Rainie. Better luck next time." No, death is NOT warm and fuzzy. Not at all.

R498 Ick. Jim Morrison was never beautiful. He looked like he smelled like shit and probably did. He is loathsome.

R479, that's because a lot of people don't know who that is.

I thought Morrison was beautiful, but did he ever take off those leather pants? Did he have more than one pair?

Those pants would follow Morrison around his house…😂😂😂

Baby-faced Matt Lanter

Young Ian Somerhalder was dreamy. 🥰

Ian was his most beautiful as the Gay boy in Rules of Attraction dancing in white Calvin boxer briefs in a hotel room with another boy.

R503 I think he was equally gorgeous in all the modeling photos he did around that era, but *yes.* I bought the DVD of that movie and I watched 💦 that specific scene many dozens of times...but never actually watched the entire movie. I have no idea if the movie is any good or not.

This was during my early 20s when my whole waking life was led by my erect penis.

R167, Heath Ledger was 6'1". If you thought he was short, you were mistaken.

I don't fund Heath Ledger to be a turn on at all for some reason, but I do think he had a striking face. The mane helped with the impression, but he was very leonine looking.

Axel Auriant

Maxence Danet-Fauvel

Jack Davenport

Richard Grieco in the 90s....

Joey Lawrence in the 90s...

R506-R512 meh!

Agree with R513. And especially Jack Davenport? He's so bland he actually does look like a Davenport.

Some who have commanded my attention throughout my life...
