Who is the most handsome man of all time

Since Alain Delon died many people are repeating that he was the most beautiful man they have ever seen.

Older generation use to use his name as the symbol of male beauty, as ours did with Brad Pitt.

What do you say, who is (was) the most handsome man in the world according to you?

OP - there is difference between a "beautiful man" and a "handsome man".

When I was young in the 70s and there was a Tyrone Power movie on the television, my grandmother would say"He was so beautiful!"

People will nominate a pretty boy or pretty man who is also handsome as *the most beautiful". Delon. Power. Pitt.

But "the most handsome man" for the general public is sometimes a very handsome man who is also very masculine and not pretty. Sometimes all it takes is age - the age will knock the pretty off a beautiful man's face and he becomes handsome.

JFK Jr is a great example of a really handsome man who was never a pretty man. Even young, he was strikingly handsome and masculine.

Of all time is an impossible task.

But for me, Tom Cruise ticked all of my boxes physically. He was a certifiable hottie in my book. Today, I’m still a loyal viewer of his movies because he’s remains handsome and a great action star.

Gregory Peck was a beautiful young man who aged into a very handsome man. I would say Brando always had masculine handsomeness in front of his early prettiness. Pity it all went to hell for that man.

I met a man, a fellow passenger, on an ocean cruise a few years back. He was intensely beautiful, so much so that he took my breath away. I found it difficult to speak when around him. I had dinner a couple of evenings with he and the (hate to admit, very nice) wife. I'd never seen, and to this day, still have not seen a more beautiful figural form, head and face in my life. He was a cross between Alain Delon, Raoul Bova and Cary Grant. Sounds odd, I know. This was a family holiday on our part. I let my sister in on the fact that I was so in awe of his beauty that I found it difficult to even so much as speak in his presence. My sister ratted me out on this to both he and the wife. I was so embarrassed I must have turned a deep red-purple. I could not face them again. Thanks Sis. I wonder about him. Where he is, how he looks now, is he still married. They had an aversion to social media and lived on a small island off the Pacific coast of Panama. Paul. Come find me.

I have been a college prof for 30 years R77 so I meet fresh new young stunners every September. But there was one who was a cut above 10, somehow. Total package. Everyone was in awe. He was a few years older, so in his mid 20s, and a tall blond man from the Swiss mountains, and a fighter pilot, to boot.

I'm an old pro at looking through the hottness to see the young person who needs to learn. After the first day, you just turn off those receptors so everyone can get on with business. But I never managed not to notice that guys looks.

Anthony Lane article: Can a Film Star Be Too Good-Looking? Alain Delon and the problem of beauty.

In truth, his skills are fairly restricted. Fine actor though he is, no jury would convict him of being a great one.

What is it about this particular actor, then, that marks him out and favors him with that uncanny, self-enclosing remoteness that we associate with stardom, even at its most gregarious? It was not his voice, for sure; when he is dubbed into Italian for Visconti and Antonioni, there isn’t much of a letdown. If we watch him greedily, asking for more, it is for a reason so obvious, and so elemental, that stating it plainly seems almost indecent, but here goes. Alain Delon, in his prime, was the most beautiful man in the history of the movies.
