I know what you mean.
Edward Olmos ... I know he's a goofball, but RRRRRRRRR!

With his role as Achilles - 'the handsomest man in Greece' - Brad Pitt has confirmed his position as one of the handsomest men ever to grace the silver screen.
Not only has his starring role in Troy transported Pitt into the superleague of Hollywood earners, but this epic showcasing of his legendary looks has driven him up to an impressive 5th position on the list of the most handsome men in Hollywood history.
Here is the list in full. Under each star is the film in which he was at his most handsome...
THE TOP TEN MOST HANDSOME MEN IN SCREEN HISTORY
1. Anthony Perkins
Best in: Fear Strikes Out (1956)
Almost too handsome to look at, Perkins is how the devil would look if he took human form. Suave beyond measure, Perkins could carry off knitwear better than anyone.
2. Gergory Peck
Best in: Roman Holiday (1953)
Quite extraordinarily good looking: tall and noble as a mighty oak, dark as night but strangely comforting. As god-like as Perkins is devilish.
3. Pierce Brosnan
Best in: The Thomas Crown Affair (1999)
The half-smiles, the naughty eyes: he looks like he’s been chiselled out of sex. Brosan is as handsome as David Niven should have been.
4. Cary Grant
Best in: The Philadelphia Story (1940)
With Grant, it’s all about poise. So at ease with his extraordinary looks that he can even make you forget how handsome he is (most famously in Bringing Up Baby).
5. Brad Pitt
Best in: Troy (2004)
Perfect torso, perfect face and perfect hair meet in an explosion of beauty. No longer can anyone argue that his arms are too thin for him to be regarded as truly handsome.
6. Richard Barthelmess
Best in: The Patent Leather Kid (1927)
Broody, but clean cut. His eyes were infinite pools of longing. No one before or since could take a zoom like Barthelmess.
7. Johnny Depp
Best in: The Ninth Gate (1999)
The best hair since Peck. Mercilessly well-defined, Depp’s features are so sharp they could cut the screen.
8. Paul Newman
Best in: Cool Hand Luke (1967)
Adonis on the chain gang. Does with filthy, torn denim what Brosnan can do with a $10,000 suit.
9. Ronald Colman
Best in: Raffles (1930)
The gentleman hero with the best moustache in Hollywood and a devastating, come-to-bed chin. The Mills & Boon anti-hero par excellence.
10. Roger Moore
Best in: Live and Let Die (1973)
Steely but debonair. A truly magnificent forehead.
I like him, too. He's very funny as well.
I know what you mean.
Edward Olmos ... I know he's a goofball, but RRRRRRRRR!
So a clean cut guy in a suit and a tie scares the bejeebers out of me....HOWEVER...
I expect he can be primal (from the number of google hits mentioning nude photos ...)
Where'd you get my driver's license photo?
There's someone for everyone ... I think a gorgeous man looks even better in a $2,000 suit :-).
LOL!
I got a new shower, wanna come over? ;) ;) ;)
Wow, that's an old picture :-).
(And speaking of what males are wearing ... I'm getting reports about some unfortunate diaper contents. Back to Real Life ...)
I have reasons to hate suits (not that I occaisionally don't like them) but its a quick turn off in a picture (I know, weird).
Sam's "starting to get a little more grey" stage was my favorite!
Many of these are so old I wouldn't recognize them.
Not on the list that should be considered:
Matthew McConaughey!
Johnny Depp? Good actor, but his weird roles make him more of a character than a sex symbol.
See post 65....but hold on to your chair.
Not weird ... just different. I feel the same way about nudity, after all these years of diaper-changing. (I was just explaining to one of my girls that if she marries wisely, she'll be able to pay someone to change diapers for her!)
Isn't he somethin!?
I thought he was the best lookin' in "A Time To Kill"
Hairy back.
Now, you are just showing off your new plumbing!
;-)
Just hopin' he'll show off ....
OoopS!
Really? That's disappointing.
