Who was hotter, Marlon Brando or Paul Newman?

Seems like they’re the go to answers whenever people talk about their Old Hollywood crushes, so who do you believe was the hotter one?

by Anonymousreply 42December 31, 2023 5:31 PM

Brando.

by Anonymousreply 1December 31, 2023 3:42 AM

No contest: Paul Newman.

Absence of Malice, circa 1981, was on TCM earlier this week. Even at 56, Newman was still very doable. Brando was bloated and fat already at that age.

Let's hope the grease fire for trolling dullards such as this OP is hotter than either of the gentleman mentioned.

Paul Newman is the hottest ever.

Brando at his hottest was better looking than Newman at his hottest I cannot unsee what Brando looked like at the end.

At his peak, Brando was heartbreakingly sexy. But he lost his looks early. Paul Newman was good looking even when he was much older.

Paul Newman looked like an actual Greek God.

Brando, in his prime, by a mile.

I think Newman was at his peak beauty as Brick in COAHTR.

For pure sex appeal, however, I prefer Newman's mature, Silver Daddy phase in "The Verdict".

Old Markon no. Young Marlon yes. Why ask OP - I’ll have them both (young) May I vote for young Ruter Hauer OP?

by Anonymousreply 9December 31, 2023 4:47 AM

Rutger

Marlon was obviously hot but he just seemed like such an asshole, that it turns me off from him.

by Anonymousreply 11December 31, 2023 4:58 AM

Paul Newman was a lot more conventionally handsome.

"Hotter," as in "sexier," I'd say Brando in his prime was hotter.

by Anonymousreply 12December 31, 2023 5:27 AM

Brando was hot for about 15 minutes. Paul Newman was always hot.

by Anonymousreply 13December 31, 2023 5:31 AM

Both hot, but Brando is more my style

Brando was HOTTER, Newman was prettier.

Brando. But Newman made better films

by Anonymousreply 16December 31, 2023 7:25 AM

Kinda gets old hearing about how hot Brando and Newman were. People need to show love to some of the other Old Hollywood hotties.

Dana Andrews. But he was a sot. And a nasty one. But he got his act together and became a spokesman for AA .

by Anonymousreply 18December 31, 2023 9:29 AM

Both Paul Newman (Ohio) and Marlon Brando (Nebraska) were from the Midwest.

So were Rock Hudson (Illinois), Robert Wagner (Michigan), and James Dean (Indiana).

R18 Incidentally, I recently got into Dana Andrews.

I stumbled upon BALL OF FIRE on YouTube and watched it because of Miss Barbara Stanwyck, but I ended up falling for him.

I subsequently watched LAURA, STATE FAIR, and THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES and now I'm in love. 😂

I love his wavy, dark hair and handsome, affable face and smiling eyes.

Very much my type.

And he was a Texas boy! 😍

Paul Newman remained a beautiful man into his old age. Brando turned into a bloated wreck.

by Anonymousreply 21December 31, 2023 10:46 AM

Tough one. Depends on your type. Newman was a pretty boy, but Brando was an aloof, egotistical, HOT, mess of a man. Team Brando.

by Anonymousreply 22December 31, 2023 10:56 AM

Brando had the better body in his prime.

by Anonymousreply 23December 31, 2023 11:58 AM

Brando at his peak was truly sublime. Newman looked to me like a gigolo.

R20, I love you! Dana Andrews was hotter than hot, not to mention a world-class acting talent; and, by all accounts, a lovely and decent man who respected his longtime marriage and was much-loved by his family.

by Anonymousreply 26December 31, 2023 12:17 PM

Newman had an impossibly handsome face but he had scrawny arms and legs.

by Anonymousreply 27December 31, 2023 12:21 PM

Newman since he didn't get fat and ugly

by Anonymousreply 28December 31, 2023 12:41 PM

I'd take James Dean over both of them.

by Anonymousreply 29December 31, 2023 12:58 PM

Brando in Streetcar was hotter than Newman in anything.

Didn’t Quincy Jones spill the beans on how Brando and Richard Pryor used to fuck?

by Anonymousreply 32December 31, 2023 1:24 PM

Brando had an ugly voice, Newman's voice was sexy.

Newman and Dean’s attraction to each other was obvious in this audition clip…

Newman was good looking but boring and extremely devoted to his wife. Brando was unhinged, a mess and was likely great in bed. Since I have bad taste—Brando by a long shot. And nobody was ever better looking than Brando in Streetcar.

by Anonymousreply 35December 31, 2023 2:16 PM

That image of Brando is digitally altered. The cock, in the unedited image, is much smaller and not black.

by Anonymousreply 36December 31, 2023 2:40 PM

R34 Newman was so hot and bothered, he was pitting out like crazy. His white shirt is soaked underneath the armpits.

by Anonymousreply 37December 31, 2023 2:53 PM

I’ve never seen another version of the Brando fellatio pic. The only ones I’ve seen are the black cock.

by Anonymousreply 38December 31, 2023 4:13 PM

With outta doubt Brando....untill he became a whale of an actor.

by Anonymousreply 39December 31, 2023 4:15 PM

Brando

by Anonymousreply 40December 31, 2023 4:22 PM

Newman was the dreamy frat boy who’d make out with you at the drive-in.

Brando was the townie who’d fuck your throat behind the Winn-Dixie.
