Did James Dean have the most attractive male face of all time?

Paul Newman. He was handsome AF, even as an old man.

So sexy

When Brad Pitt was younger no one could compete.

OP likes James Franco because she thinks he looks like James Dean.

r4 Ok and?

R5, "Ok"?

Oh, dear.

Robert Redford or Paul Newman for me.

r6 Meh, you tried

r6 Learn where to place your punctuation. We're embarrassed for you.

James Dean is one of those people that just comes across as so sexy, even though he doesn't necessarily look overly handsome in still photos - hard to describe

His face was a rumbled bed that someone just fucked in. And his main device was relaxing his mouth into a pout...it was intentional. The guy knew what he was doing.

But (and DL has this thread about twice a month) Alain Delon and Paul Newman have to be 1 and 2, in either order.

R5/R8, meh, you tried a mean-girl reflex and failed.

Again, as you don't know enough to type a comma when attempting direct, address,

Oh, dear.

And R9 is the Krazy Komma Kunt who HAS to stick her fin in. HAS to.

Redford:

OP, since you asked: No, he didn't.

From that era I prefer Robert Mitchum.

(James Dean was too fragile - like you’d come home to find him sobbing in your bathtub.)

James Dean was only 5'7" - and I bet he was a power bottom

Poor r12 " Again, as you don't know enough to type a comma when attempting direct, address, "

Please be sure to keep calling attention to the punctuation issues of others, as you end your sentence with a comma. That was fun. Carry on, poor thing! I genuinely hope you are able to calm down and enjoy a silly thread.

R16 I wanted to be inside him.

I always thought Anthony Perkins was so sexy also - nerdy hot!

No! Far from it.

R5 right 😂. I love a good ok and?

Young Denzel was visually perfect. Just perfect.

r22 Oh lord yes he was

There was something extremely sexy about James Dean, but he was not a particularly attractive male face.

Yes, he was good looking. But, it wasn't his looks that made him sexy.

Was there anything technically wrong with his face?

In your dreams, OP!

This is my favorite pic of him: with eyeglasses and a cat : )

Oh, dear.

Cunt advice.

R3, what about Rob Lowe?

Robert Mitchum always gave me the creeps.

I don't think James Dean was all that attractive, and he was particularly ugly when crying.

Profile

r32 Gorgeous

No, the sexiest actor of all was Alain Delon.

Oh shut the fuck up, TeriGarrfish at R17. No one likes you, no one thinks you’re funny, no one thinks you’re clever. At Datalounge or in life.

I think he was gorgeous and I like shorter guys so the height is perfecto.

Paul Newman really was gorgeous as well. I'd like to think he and James Dean had sex.

He may not have been the greatest actor, but Tab Hunter was my Muse:

r38 Yes he was very sexy as well

James Dean looks like the street trade you could talk into doing a little more than he wanted.

I’m usually not attracted to blond men but yes James Dean was handsome and sexy. There’s something contemporary about his photos even though they were taken in the 1950s.

"of all time"????????

I'm afraid Enkidu was much more attractive, OP.

The human ashtray.

[quote]R42 I'm afraid Enkidu was much more attractive, OP.

Begone, Mesopotamian Farmwife! Back to your foul cooking grate stopped with rancid chickpea mash.

r43 Why "human ashtray?" He looks quite cute in that picture.

Post mortem of his body found multiple old burn scars on his chest. They were puzzled until a boyfriend told them Jimbo was a sub masochist who liked his partners to stub out cigs on his chest. Kinky bitch.

R46, most people say that isn't a photo of Dean.

R47,most still above ground Dean stans have cataracts.

His tombstone should have read:

James Dean

1931-1955

Tramp

Not as tight as I was used to.

OP Did James Dean have the most fugly male face of all time?

fixed for gramps

Which features made him ugly?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Jeffrey Hunter

Anyone think Dean was bi? I think deep down he was gay.

He looks special needs to me, and kind of creepy. Sorry Mr. Dean!

Neurotic little queen was always trying to get below my belt.

R51 Pee Wee without a cause

Newman fucked him bald.

Def gay not bi. Though he may have had sexual experiences with women. A number of gay men have. I have had two. That's not bi. There is a story about a party given for him in Marfa when he was filming Giant. For some reason there were only women. When he realized this he got bored and left.

I have a soft spot in my heart for the young Jeremy Brett. I find him quite beautiful as Freddy in MFL. And a very fine actor. He is so much better than the Freddy in Pascal's film. But very troubled by his homosexuality. Well it was literally criminal when he was growing up. So he married Anna Massey daughter of Raymond and sister of Daniel and that did not go well of course. I highly recommend her autobio. His son is a writer living in I believe CA.

Fag hag Elizabeth Taylor is on record saying he was molested as a kid and was gay. The whole Pier Angeli "romance" was well known bearding. Jimmy chased Brando's cock across Hollywood. His boyfriend Bill Bast would concur.

Jimmy assumes the position for his daddy.

Dennis Hopper said that James Dean was straight.

True, R24. Redford, on the other hand, handsome and totally sexless.

James Dean was sexy as hell, but I think Paul Newman had THE face card. Paul Walker was a close second. Damn, Walker was on sexy blond.

His "acting" was laughable. Early death was a good career move.

Small quibble, and worthy of an "Oh Mary!" but shouldn't it be "since the invention of photography"? What other proof have we? That said, give me this version of Errol Flynn.

No. He would have aged terribly.

He definitely had something but he died at 24..wven then he looked 34 so Im not sure he would have aged well. Jeffrey Hunter was handsome but in that Star Trek pilot he looks middle aged. Rock Hudson was a fine thing. Brando before the weight was pretty perfect. Paul Newman for the win.

I'm surprised that no one mentioned Montgomery Clift

R68 spot on Mary, as you've noted mutiple times Dean bears a striking resemblance to...

R62 That’s not William Bast, that’s Dennis Stock.

IIn this interview Liz said Jimmy hadn’t made up his mind but he was fascinated by women and flirted with her. She also said he was in love with Pier Angeli.

I think he most likely had a preference for men and would’ve leaned more into that preference had he lived longer and would’ve been open about it but he did have relationships with women too like Barbara Glenn and Geraldine Page.

In this interview*

This sounds kind of odd, and I don't remember the source, or even if I'm imagining it, but I once read that Jane Leeves (Daphne on Frasier) said that she wished that James Dean would have lived to old age. Had that happened, it would have stopped all the young Hollywood poseurs of the time trying to imitate or embody him in the 90s or so. It stuck with me as a particularly piquant observation.

Jimmy just luved tits & ass.

I love this screen test with him and Lois Smith, who’s still alive. You know you’re a true icon when your screen tests are more compelling than most actor’s filmographies.

I also recommend watching his television work if you haven’t already.

I love his lips and hair....so sexy.

I remember a photographer said that James Dean's eyes were too close together.

Does anyone agree?

No. It was Jeffrey Hunter, Guy Madison and Harry Belafonte.

OP Of ALL TIME? He didnt even have the most attractive face of 1950s Hollywood.

In OP's photo layout Dean resembles a chihuahua I used to know; cute, while wary.

Some beautiful pictures:

R84, disregard that post above. I put it in the wrong thread

I always found James Dean attractive. But he was not the most attractive face of all time, that's an absurd claim. Also, he died young, so we not got to see him grow older. With the chain smoking, drinking, terrible sleep routine, he would have aged quickly and badly. See Tyrone Power who was the perfect cautionary tale. He died at just age 44 and he looked about age 60.

So handsome

r80 No

I always wondered if Lois Smith slept with Kazan to get that role in Eden. She is very pretty and he was known to sleep with his young actresses. Of course Smith grew up to be one of the great actors. Her performance in Trip to Bountiful was one of the most memorable and moving I have seen on stage or anywhere for that matter.

R67 has never seen East of Eden.

Dean would have probably aged like Dean Stockwell. Handsome well into middle age and then get hit hard by the very old man look. Which happens to all of us but it is especially harsh to men who were once beautiful.

Not a good pic

R92, why?
