Montgomery Clift was the most attractive man ever!

No. Not by a long shot.

When very young, but he certainly did not age well even before the wreck

Absolutely! The most beautiful man ever.

Just off the top of my head Guy Madison

Hugh O'Brian

Stephen Boyd

Gregory Peck

Clint Walker

Brandon Routh

Paul Newman

but it's also one of those to each his own type things...If you think he is then he is for you.

Hard disagree

R4 - I'll add John Gavin to that list and a young Gary Cooper was hot AF.

Super handsome but gave off a strangely asexual vibe.

he had resting put out your cigarette on my ass face.

He really was so good looking. He seemed so tragic.

My mother, my aunts and their contemporaries swooned over his looks but Mom said the car accident did horrible damage and that his whole film presence changed.

I thought he looked like the Mitch Mercury puppet from SUPER CAR.

Actually I never thought stills conveyed fully what was hot about him. His voice and his movements were sexy.

R10, him?

Yes r12

Because yours is a subjective assessment. He certainly was beautiful but there are others-

Such a handsome little poppet - fuzzy too. Yum!

R13, what do you think the similarities are?

Neither will date me.

Maybe the prominent eyebrows, r16, or the color overall - light white skin and black hair. I found him attractive enough in A PLACE IN THE SUN and even post-accident, but he wasn't as present.

I don't see it.

Monty was into being a cum dump in sex clubs. In a book his great friend Kevin McCarthy wrote about him he wrote about a time he and Monty were together, I believe it was in New York City. They got separated and Kevin went looking for him. Somehow to traced him to some gay adult establishment and when he got inside he eventually found Monty lying naked on the floor in a room with a group of men standing around him masturbating all over him.

He sounds like fun! He knows how to keep a party going!

Kevin McCarthy was an attractive guy

Very pretty. Not my type at all. His self love was a big turn off as well.

Yes, he was.

R23, why self love?

They really should have done a biopic of him starring Bomer.

They are both stunningly handsome men.

R26, agreed

We never got to see him without the rug.

R28, he didn't wear one

HAAAAA R29. Yeah, he did.

He wasn't Jack Jones hairy but very hairy as well.

Hottest of them all was Alain Delon

The Wrigleyville Cum Dump

For looks alone I don't think anyone can beat Guy Madison.

Tyrone Power may have been the most attractive man in films, but only for a very brief period, maybe 3-5 years at the very most. Thanks to his heavy drinking and chain smoking all day long, and rarely sleeping, he was already aging badly by the time he hit age 30.

Love this image.

Guys like that are a dime a dozen in 2024.

Tyrone Power was also one of the worst movie actors who ever lived, R35.

Another vote for Gary Cooper here. To me, he was in a league of his own. (Maybe Alain Delon was in his league.) An extraordinarily sexy man when young, like you don't see this level of sex appeal just walking down the street. Monty Clift, I see those guys walking around in the world. Gary and Alain were otherworldly.

Fucking racist fags

He was certainly handsome but, as said, many many others. The list could go on and on.

He was very sexualized, but in a femimine catlike way

I hate how we are told about his sex life. I dont know what my neighbours get up to. they could be out dogging every night...or swinging...We have got to stop thinking a varied sexlife with fetishes are somehow illegal or nasty.

Montgomery Clift was younger than Bomer is now when he died.

Yet, Bomer now looks at least 10 years younger than Clift at the time of his death.

It's so interesting to me that people in general looks so much younger and healthier today than they did 50 years ago or even 30 years ago.

Gary Cooper was not only handsome, he was hung like a mule.

Gary Cooper didn't age well, either

A couple of men never mentioned:

George O'Brien

John Payne

Gilbert Roland

R44 Monty was a drinker and a smoker. It got much worse after his car crash in 1956 and he had reconstructive surgery to his face at age 35. He had felt unconquerable until then. Afterwards he was depressed and felt he was disfigured even though the nerve damage was less obvious to others than it was to him.

Clift was a alcoholic long before the crash. New face:

No. James Garner.

R48 If only Montgomery Clift could have seen how Bud Cort's looks and career turned out after HIS car crash and reconstructive facial surgery, maybe he wouldn't have felt so depressed about his own results.

Am I the only one who salivates over Charlie Chaplin? All eras, including Limelight. Even his tramp character, I just it find so sexy.
