Hear! Hear! I couldn't agree more.
I still think Gregory Peck was/is the most handsome of all. We're watching TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD in grade 9 English. I made a comment about how handsome he was and the whole class went up in arms. Gasp! They thought he was boring and ugly. What is their problem?
Happy Thanksgiving!
mmm colin firth.
hehehe.
i know what you mean, i look at those magazines and i'm like... err... what do you people SEE in him?
and i do sorta like mcdreamy but burke, yes, definitely good there.
hehehe.
I would have voted for people like Hugh Laurie or Kiefer Sutherland. All man. YUM.
How about the classic Cary Grant? And my favorite....Pierce Brosnan?
You're right, these newbies got nothin' on the, um.....old guys.
ooops...you mentioned Cary Grant. Hey, it's early here and it's Thanksgiving and I haven't had my caffeine yet....
My list of manly men:
Kiefer Sutherland
Will Smith - gentleman thru & thru
Denzel Washington
Clive Owens
and perhaps my all time favorite, because I'm slightly over-hyper about the Gladiator - Russell Crowe
There's a list for you for your Thanksgiving, dear Kristin, sorry I couldn't provide face shots.
Altho - if I'm making a really truthful list, I put down my Daddy and my Hubby. :) - but that list would be mine and mine only! :) :) :)
ROFLOL! GO get 'em Kristin! Suzanne has it - Pierce Brosnin. Swoon! But one of the greats for me was Clarke Gable. Scarlet, get outta my way. :o)
Katy, you have your husband! Give me Kiefer and Hugh!
Hugh looks really funny in anything without his scruff, I'll grant you that. But oh, as Dr. House...
Suzanne, did you mention Pierce Brosnan? (Swoon.) I loved him best in the role of Remington Steele, the old tv series. Three more to add to my short list of best-looking actors with TALENT in Hollywood: (1) Cary Grant in TO CATCH A THIEF, (2) Colin Firth in THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST, and (3) Sidney Poitier in A RAISIN IN THE SUN. Sidney P.'s in the double-swoon category. Thanks for mentioning Cary G. and Colin F., Kristin!
Hey what about Donny Osmond? Come on, y'all.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Rachel
I have to agree with you. I love the older fellas. Sean Connery and Clint Eastwood included. (Although Clint needs his mouth washed out with soap sometimes.) I like Will Smith and Johnny Depp too (what woman with a pulse doesn't?). There is one new fella I like and that's Orlando Bloom.
I also concur about the lines of gender being blurred to the point that our men don't know what's expected of them. I caught my young neice reciting boy-slamming verses at her brother and I called her card on it. I told her verses in the Bible that explained a man's place.
When I watch tv with my boys, we often go over things that are misrepresented.
I hope your princess in waiting can find a prince charming worthy of her. (Better than the sexiest men alive, of course.) :D
Oh, I haven't commented in a while and I LOVE the new look of the blog!
Oh I so relate, Kristin! I write chick-lit and it's getting tougher and tougher to find good hunks to compare my heroes too--LOL. Some of the new guys are bony little wisps!
Oh and Rachel--I still have purple, signed Donny Osmond socks! No, I'm not lyin'! lol
It's hard for me to believe no one has mentioned Kurt Russell!
I have loved him since I was in third grade (my husband was well aware of that fact when he married me). There's an episode in Hot Flashes & Cold Cream where Maggie refers to coming to blows with Lily for smearing banana on her picture of Kurt Russell. That happened to me. I gave the girl a bloddy nose, by the way. Shocks you to the core, no doubt, but I had a dark side back then . . . .
I FORGOT SOMEONE!
David Boreanaz.
Oh, my goodness. I've never watched Buffy or Angel, but seeing him as Seeley Booth in Bones is just...uh, hot. I love the dark, brooding look with the strong face. I listened to one interview with him and was disappointed...he seems kind of dumb and his amount of cursing made me blink! And I go to an extremely liberal university.
OH! And Wentworth Miller is beautiful, too. YUM.
I watch FOX dramas :) hehehe
I guess it's because I like the story of the characters that they play. Wentworth's character was an engineer before he imprisonated himself (uh, whatever), so the whole lifetyle of being in prison and on the run is completely a stretch for him and he's had to adapt.
And David Boreanaz is completely ungirly, especially when he is kicking someone's butt on Bones. Again, I've never seen Buffy or Angel so I have no idea what he was like on those series.
I'm just the type of person that changes opinion of looks when I get to know the personality. In this case, the personality of characters that they play.
I'm More of a "Anderson Cooper" kind of girl. Handsome , Smart, brave.ahhh..
I couldn't agree more, Kristin! What's up with all the girly men?
I would love to go back to the suave Cary Grant days. I have a hard time picturing Cary Grant beating up a burly brute to defend his woman, but if Michael Vartan can do it in Alias I guess C.G. could too. Have you seen An Affair To Remember? The first kiss between C.G. and Deborah Kerr isn't even visible but it's the most romantic ever! A man who is manly, respectful and protective can't be beat. Brad Pitt... whatever.
Tom Selleck, anyone? Dimples. Need I say more.
Ah,that is so cool Kristin.
I love a smart man!.
Anna Marie.
