Robert Redford, George Clooney, Brad Pitt,........and really can't think of to many other sexy male actors.

[a kennedy]

Help me out. And George is way above the others…..JMHO.

[BOSSHOG]

1. Two Cents from an old guy

My favorite actor and one handsome gent, Paul Newman.

[Mz Pip]

4. Cary Grant

Sean Connery

[a kennedy]

14. Oh my, Cary Grant for sure, Sean Connery??? Ah not so much.

[a kennedy]

11. Yup, yup.......

[greatauntoftriplets]

2. Daniel Day-Lewis.

Aidan Turner.

[a kennedy]

15. Hmmmmm, nah, not so much for moi.

[3catwoman3]

88. Aidan Turner, yes indeed. The love scenes between Ross Poldark and Demelza...

...were hot, hot, hot in a subtle and delicate way. Mmmm, mmmm, mmmmmmmmmm!

[greatauntoftriplets]

100. They made a gorgeous couple.

Eleanor Tomlinson will be in the new Forsyte PBS series. I'll be glad to see her in a different role.

[hlthe2b]

3. Paul Newman!!!!!

[dem4decades]

53. That's the one i was thinking of.

[Ocelot II]

5. Those guys are old (in one case, dead). There are a lot of sexy young ones.

And I say that as an old person myself. But I can't talk about the sexy young actors because that would make me look like too much of a cougar. Or in my case, a saber-toothed tiger.

[FalloutShelter]

6. Harrison Ford

[a kennedy]

17. Ahhhhhh, not for me......

[FalloutShelter]

36. LOL

[mountain grammy]

59. Love him as an old man

That half smile. Of his…

[unblock]

7. Gilbert Gottfried. The man just oozed sex appeal.

[ret5hd]

8. man oh man...

if any guy could make me go gay…just sayin’.

[a kennedy]

18. 😂 🤣 😂 NOT

[True Dough]

50. He was a hunk and he was gifted

with such a silky voice!

RIP!

[Ilikepurple]

85. That voice! The Velvet Frog. Nt

[True Dough]

108. Nice one!

Can't you just hear him now?

[ellaydubya]

9. Robert Mitchum

[a kennedy]

19. Sorry, not for moi.

[leftieNanner]

10. Austin Butler

And I would also add Adam Driver - in a less traditional way

[a kennedy]

20. Ahhhh, nope, not either one, and again JMHO.

[leftieNanner]

25. I had a major teen crush

On David McCallum.

[3catwoman3]

90. Oh, yes!

[Scrivener7]

13. Denzel.

[a kennedy]

21. Now you're talking......

[FalloutShelter]

38. Oh my...

How could I forget Denzel?

[Scrivener7]

49. And now that he's aging, he's going the route of Robert Redford. With the freedom

from being a young sex symbol box office giant, he's now a guy that makes movies that are guaranteed to be high quality with a good story. They may not be popular, but when you watch one, you know it's going to be good.

[bamagal62]

16. James Dean

[a kennedy]

23. Oh my not for me, loved his spirit tho.....but not handsome in my book.

[Botany]

22. Tommy Flanagan. Yah that's the ticket.

[a kennedy]

24. Now you're just being silly eh??? 🤣 😂 🤣

[wcmagumba]

26. Charles Bronson and Tom Laughlin come to mind...

[a kennedy]

33. Nah......they just are't doing it for moi. Sorry.

[wcmagumba]

43. You're very hard to please, you must have married well...

[a kennedy]

44. Ha ha, I did........single now tho.....my sexy man passed away a year ago May.

[wcmagumba]

47. Sorry for your loss...

[a kennedy]

52. Thank you.......still can't believe it.

Miss him soooooooo much.

[wcmagumba]

57. You got me crying now, hang in there.

[SamKnause]

144. 2 of my favorites from years past.

[The Blue Flower]

27. Clint Walker

The most beautiful male specimen ever to appear on screen, both large and small.

[a kennedy]

35. Hmmmmmmmm, ok, a tad may-be.....a tad.

[SamKnause]

145. My mother is 101 and Clint has always been her favorite.

[viva la]

28. There are all those guys named Chris--

And the others named Ryan.

[a kennedy]

37. Nope, and nope.

[Raven123]

29. Tom Cruise

[Ocelot II]

30. He was sort of good-looking in his younger days but now he's too creepy to be sexy.

[3catwoman3]

91. Damn right about the creepy part.

[a kennedy]

39. Oh heavens.......no.....not in my mind.

[MIButterfly]

102. I used to love Tom Cruise. That smile!

Then he made that movie "Magnolia." I hated that movie and I hated his character, so much so that I started disliking him. Then he went all nutty with that Scientology stuff and he completely lost me.

But to each his own. You like who you like. It's all good.

[Big Blue Marble]

31. Aidan Turner as Ross Poldark

is one of the sexiest men ever.

Yul Brynner in Ramesses II in the Ten Commandments and in The King and I.

[a kennedy]

40. and so sorry, Mr. Brynner?? No, and will look further into Turner and Poldark.

[3catwoman3]

93. "...will look further into Turner and Poldark."

Better get yourself a fan.

[a kennedy]

97. Gonna.... 🤣 😂 🤣

[Scrivener7]

45. OMG! I think the episodes are rated on IMDB based on whether he took his shirt off.

[3catwoman3]

92. I commented in someone else's post that the love scenes between Ross and Demelza...

...were hot, hot, hot in their subtleness.

[Tetrachloride]

32. Jeffrey Hunter, Anson Mount, The Fonz,

Dhainush ( spelling?), Gregory Peck, Dean Martin, William Holden.

[a kennedy]

41. No, no, no, no, no, no, and no.

and this is only my opinion.

[Tetrachloride]

96. George Kennedy.

and his cigar

[a kennedy]

98. Now this is just silly......

[Ritabert]

34. The sexiest actor to me was Eddie Cahill from "CSI NY"

Irish descent with black hair and blue eyes.

[a kennedy]

42. Now you're talking Irish......☘️ Gonna have to check him out. 😀

[Ritabert]

51. He's hot and seriously married which is even better.

[Raven123]

[hlthe2b]

58. Yes... Great smile and I adored him in "Somewhere in Time"

[Big Blue Marble]

77. Me too!

That was one of the best romantic movies ever.

[CrispyQ]

132. Omg, that movie drives me crazy!!

She gives him the watch which he gave her. Who made the frickin' watch?

[Big Blue Marble]

137. Yes the watch is like looking in the mirror that reflects another mirror and on to infinity.

It is the penny that got me. All is lost for the penny.

[JenniferJuniper]

54. John Garfield

[a kennedy]

60. Seriously?? May-be in his younger day......*nudge, nudge*

[kerouac2]

55. Connery, Sean Connery

007

[a kennedy]

62. As I said earlier, nah, he's a good looker, but IMO, not in the Redford, Clooney, or Pitt, circle.

[kerouac2]

109. If you hear odd noises at night

It may be my mom haunting you for saying that

[Enter stage left]

56. Matt Damon!

[a kennedy]

63. Shut up......ok, ok, I'll add him.....in a kind quirky sexy kinda way.

[Croney]

61. Ralph Waite.

(I'm old.) I don't find George Clooney attractive.

[a kennedy]

66. NO to Ralph, and ya don't find George attractive??? Well, that's it for our connection.

We’ll just be pals then for being here on DU eh???

[Shermann]

64. Behind Paul Newman and Cary Grant, AI predicts you would like Leonardo DiCaprio based on your preferences. nt

[a kennedy]

68. Ack!!!!!! DiCaprio??? Seriously???

Fawk AI eh???

[Dave Bowman]

65. Rob Schneider!

[a kennedy]

69. Ya?? Ya better hide baby.

[Dave Bowman]

71. 🙂

[DuranDuranDUme]

67. Sam Elliott !!!

[a kennedy]

70. Ok, should have mentioned him.......in a raw way I guess. But yah, he's right up there.......and thanks.

[3catwoman3]

94. Oh, yes!

[MuseRider]

73. You beat me to that choice.

He has some sort of cowboy pull on me. Good choice!

[a kennedy]

74. He is pretty cool.....and in a sense sexy......so ok.

[MuseRider]

72. For older

Sam Elliott **That voice

Aidan Quinn**Those incredible blue eyes and that smile

[a kennedy]

75. And his new white mustache!!!!!!

Gonna have to look up Aidan Quinn.

[MuseRider]

76. Or maybe Chris Cooper?

[a kennedy]

80. So sorry, do not know this one......I will check on him.

[radical noodle]

79. Derek Morgan

Way too young for me, but yummy. Best known for his role in Criminal Minds, but has also been in movies.

[a kennedy]

81. Ok, don't know the name will check and see if he will fit in my collection.

[radical noodle]

83. Hope he's a good addition

but if not, he's still in mine.

[Hamlette]

82. Idris Elba and Matthew Goode.

[a kennedy]

84. Whew, Idris......yummmmm. Ok, right, forgot him. Ah, Goode??? Gonna have to check him out.

[3catwoman3]

86. Gregory Peck.

[Ocelot II]

87. Definitely!

[3catwoman3]

95. He is part of the reason our older son is named Gregory.

[a kennedy]

99. Well.......ok, I could say that he is a sexy main man.......

[JustAnotherGen]

89. Redford, Poitier, Newman, and Grant

Clooney and Pitt? Not my thing.

4 more more under the radar,:

Two babies: Sam Heughan and James Norton

Three Peers - Iris Elba, John Cho and . . .

Zahn McClarnon aka Big

[a kennedy]

101. Nah.....very attractive but in my hamper of sexy men?? No.

[JustAnotherGen]

111. The heart wants what the heart wants!

My husband has the strong jaw low bridge look - I love that.

[Jack Valentino]

103. And back in their day, Errol Flynn, Clark Gable, Humphrey Bogart, and

before sound movies, Rudolph Valentino!

[a kennedy]

104. Nope, nope, and nope........sorry. For some reason I'm old too, but these men.....just not doing it for moi.

[blm]

126. Hyun Bin, Paul Newman, Harry Belafonte, Gregory Peck

https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftse1.mm.bing.net%2Fth%2Fid%2FOIP.xpN3r3wvzM4UV_0rDMSNkwHaE4%3Fpid%3DApi&f=1&ipt=dc26893a9e0f2c7feed0b6b40a0ad98eb1d8fcb31b109423f959a979a8f23732&ipo=images

[WheelWalker]

105. Sean Connery. There's more to "sexy" than eye candy alone. Got to have "the voice".

It's not what you say, but how you say it.

[a kennedy]

133. Ok, agree.....voice is in the sexy category.....so ok.

[Dear_Prudence]

106. Colin Firth.

back in the day...

[Scrivener7]

146. Pride and Prejudice. Yep. He'll do.

[Diamond_Dog]

107. Anyone mention Pedro Pascal yet?

Some good selections already mentioned ….. a Kennedy I think from reading through the comments you and I have the same taste,

[a kennedy]

135. Hey, hey, I think so too.....and on to Pedro Pascal....yup, he's right up there.

[SheilaAnn]

110. Anson Mount..."Hell on Wheels." Beautiful eyes and I beli8ve the Chinese actress, last name Trang, is his wife IRL.

Both fine actors.

[hlthe2b]

112. I agree with Anson Mount in Hell on Wheels. He was terrific and very good looking to boot!

I am not much of a Sci-Fi fan, so I didn't watch him in Star Trek spin-off. I could never understand why Hell on Wheels was not more popular than it was when first aired on AMC...

[SheilaAnn]

113. Me neither, I was absolutely addicted to it and WOW, who knew Common was such a great actor. AMC shows it once in a

while and I do look for the re-runs.

[hlthe2b]

114. Yes. Common really was a big surprise with his performances. I read about his attempt to learn to ride...

Quite the ordeal, I guess. LOL

[SheilaAnn]

115. I don't watch award shows but do hope he received something for that performance along with many of the others.

[a kennedy]

123. What movie was he in with Keanu Reeves??? Oh right the John Wick movies......Common was in one and did

an outstanding acting job. So, ok, he is in the sexy category but a tad further down the list of my sexy men. but a dang good actor.

[LessAspin]

116. Glen Powell

Sort of kidding with this one. They seem to be trying to make him a leading man in Hollywood but Glen seems kind of goofy looking. To me at least.

The only reason I thought of Glen Powell was that his remake of Twisters came up in another thread 🧵

[a kennedy]

119. Sorry, nope.

[a kennedy]

120. Ah, not in my book. Sorry.

[QueerDuck]

121. Okay. Well... Never mind then.

I thought this was supposed to be fun. Not a judged contest.

[a kennedy]

122. Hey, sorry......it was in fun but kinda serious too.

[QueerDuck]

124. Whatever... enjoy your fun/serious thread

without me... and I'll look elsewhere for fun chit chat about handsome Hollywood leading men (without abrupt judgement or mystery rules)

[a kennedy]

125. Please relax......and, ok, ok, it WAS all in fun, damn.

[CrispyQ]

127. Timothy Olyphant.

Omg, I just checked a current pic & he's totally silver! Still sexy!! I obviously haven't seen him in something in a long time.

[a kennedy]

130. So sorry, silver in my book doesn't make him sexy......and it is just my opinion.

[BlueKota]

128. For me its the Irishman like Pierce Brosnan and Colin O'Donoghue.

I think it must be genetic. As my Mom, my paternal grandmother, and my paternal great grandmother all married Irish or part Irish guys with black hair and blue eyes. 🇨🇮🤣

[ultralite001]

131. Bill Nighy...

Just because...

[a kennedy]

136. Now, NO WAY IS THIS MAN SEXY!!!!! Yikes.....

Just saying he’s not sexy in any of my books.

[snowybirdie]

134. Many many years ago

I met George's father, Nick. Hubba, hubba. Apple doesn't fall far from the tree .

[woodsprite]

138. Yul Brynner and Edward Mulhare. nt

[a kennedy]

140. Sorry, but no, and no.

[mwmisses4289]

139. Pierce Brosnan.

[a kennedy]

141. Seriously?? Ah, he's a nope in my book, but it is JMHO.

[mwmisses4289]

142. Yup, seriously.

Also Morgan Freeman, Colin Ferguson and Will Smith.

[a kennedy]

143. Ok, now you're kinda reaching.....Love Morgan Freeman, BUT not sexy in my book.....

and Colin Ferguson?? Nope, and Will Smith….again love his acting, but sexy?? for moi??? Ah nope.

[mwmisses4289]

147. We all have different tastes, thank goodness.

[a kennedy]

148. AND OMG FORGOT Matthew McConaughey!!!!!

A tad below my original men, but pretty dang close.
