- Bradley Cooper
- Anything named "Jonas"
- Johnny Depp, a trillion times over
- For some reason straight guys are in love with Brad Pitt.
- Brad Pitt,%0D\
Keanu Reeves,%0D\
Tom Cruise (once upon a time, he was considered a heart throb),%0D\
George Clooney,%0D\
Ryan Reynolds,%0D\
%0D\
%0D\
To name a few.
- Justin Beiber.
- I can completely understand why Jon Hamm is considered a sex symbol. He possesses classic Hollywood good looks which are pretty rare these days. Think Cary Grant. George Clooney was (or, perhaps, still is) in that category.
- I understand why these men are heartthrobs perfectly.\
\
Ryan Reynolds is funny and good in romantic comedies and has a perfect body. He''s also quite handsome.\
\
Asshole or not, Tom Cruise has a body of death. He is also very handsome. The same is true of Bradley Cooper, who is exceptionally handsome and has a great body.\
\
Brad Pitt was once very handsome and once had an amazing body.\
\
Taylor Lautner also has an amazing body.\
\
Jon Hamm has an incredibly handsome face. So does Robert Pattinson. They are both brooding types.\
\
Justin Bieber is completely presexual and thus nonthreatening to preteen girls. So was Zac Efron once, but now he''s hunky and attractive to older girls.\
\
This all seems pretty straightforward to me. In all these cases except Bieber''s, the men are either exceptionally handsome or they have great bodies, or both. What more do you expect?
- I don''t get how anyone doesn''t get how incredibly handsome Jon Hamm is. Like George Clooney ten years ago, he reminds me of a classic Hollywood star: Cary Grant, Gregory Peck, William Holden. Bradley Cooper, on the other hand, looks like a fox -- an actual fox. With his beady little eyes, sharp nose, and thin, thin lips, he was born to define the word "vulpine." How in the world can anyone think of him as sexy?
- Sorry, I don''t ''get'' John Hamm. I certainly don''t think he''s ugly, but his features are nothing special. He''s quite average.
- I don''t get the John Hamm love, either. He''s plain.
- I don''t get Justin Timberlake at all. He''s hideous.
- Andre The Giant
- I totally get John Hamm in the context of his character on "Mad Men." He''s like the Fonz on "Happy Days."\
\
The appeal of Clooney, though has always eluded me, regardless of what character he''s played. He''s blandly handsome, I suppose, but there''s an underlying smarminess and self-regard that cancels out the sexy.
- I have never figured out the appeal of Brad Pitt.
- Clooney is simian.
- Brad Pitt is hot. \
\
Is this guy more your type, r15:
http://www.uncoached.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/iyfw_fat-guy.jpg
- What is so special about Brad Pitt? What is his appeal? \
\
How did he become an A-list star and others did not?
- The Justin Bieber thing alludes me. I know teen girls like nonthreatening guys, but he''s a midget with lesbian face. I wonder about the girls who like him. Are they latent bisexuals/lesbians?
- Because he(''s beautiful and sexy and charming and can actually act and) made friends with the right people.
- Kellan Lutz is another one. Horrifying face.
- Bieber is suppossed to be 16/17, but he looks like he never went through puberty. I wonder if he has a testosterone deficiency and/or excessive estrogen.
- I don''t get the ones who look like they smell bad (Pitt, Depp, etc.).
- Bieber is actually Linda Hunt after extensive plastic surgery.
- Robert Pattinson has a flat face, crooked nose and fucked up eyebrows. Plus he looks unwashed and smells bad. The girls only like him because he''s Edward Cullen. Even the ugliest guy in the world were cast in that role, the girls would fall all over themselves.\
\
Lautner has a good body but he''s short and his face is all kinds of bad. Like some kind of smushed up dog.
- They''re both hot, r23. Men are hot when they''re messy. Mannequins and robots are not sexy to most of us.
- Pattinson is ok. Lautner is butt ass ugly.
- There have been many accounts that Depp, Pitt, Pattinson actually smell. Of BO. That''s not attractive.
- Some BO actually is attractive. Not people who smell like lunch meat, but sexy man BO is delicious.
- Leonardo DiCaprio-- that oversized head with its scrunched up rodent-like features, combined with that adenoidal pubescent voice...\
\
Other than that.. Superhot!
- "I don''t get the John Hamm love, either. He''s plain."\
\
Bitch if more "plain" men looked like the Hamm Sandwich I''d be really happy.
- Pattison has his work cut out for him post-Twilight. If his first few movies aren''t successes he''s done for as a leading man. Those dumb vampire movies are certainly a mixed blessing. Kristen Stewart''s non Twilight work is DOA.
- I had no idea Brad had a nose job or that his hair was ginger.

- You have bad taste, r31.
- Pattinson looked gorgeous in the Harry Potter movie(s). But those are hugely budgeted films that use a lot of special effects--not the least of which make their young stars appear more attractive.%0D\
%0D\
I''ve never seen the Mormon vampire movies, since I''m not a fat Mormon teenager, but Pattinson doesn''t fair nearly as well in entertainment news coverage, where the special effects are minimal.%0D\
%0D\
Ryan Reynolds and Taylor Lautner both have extremely fit bodies. It''s not always about "non-threatening males" with teenage girls. Although you can argue that they give off a gay vibe and are "non-threatening" in that way. It''s like having your sex and fucking it too.
- Ryan Reynolds looks like he has Down Syndrome.
- Brad Pitt in A River Runs Through It was the single hottest actor I have ever seen. And he is SO not my type. Jon Hamm IS my type and I think he is drop dead gorgeous.

- Jake Gyllenhaal is straight up fug.
- I love Jon Hamm, but I''d love him more if he were taller and had fuller lips. There''s something very "Keanu Reeves if he weren''t Hapa" about him... it''s odd, but I kinda dig it.\
\
Ryan Reynolds and Kellan Lutz can fall off the planet for all I care.
- George Clooney from, say, 10-15 years ago was very handsome but he looked so much like my father who was anything but a nice person that it killed any attraction I may have felt towards him.
- Ratfaced Bradley Cooper. That will NOT age well.
- OP, I agree with your list EXCEPT for Jon Hamm, who I happen to find the sexiest, dreamiest heart-throbbiest of heartthrobs around.
- Bea Arthur
- Robert Pattinson has stated that he doesn''t know how to use a washing machine, so he buys underwear, wears the same pair for a few days, and then throws ''em away. Filthy drawers could account for much of his odor. He also steals most of his underwear from his movie sets.

That is absolutely disgusting.
- Tom Cruise never had a "body of death." He worked it out to its maximum potential, but it was never particularly attractive. Short, stocky, hairless and weird nipple placement.\
\
Hugh Jackman had, and has, a "body of death."
- Johnny Depp\
\
Brad Pitt\
\
All of the kids (Taylor, Rob, Justin Beeber, Jonas bros, etc)
- I got the Brad Pitt thing when he was young. He was HOT in Thelma and Louise and beautiful in A River Runs Through It and Legends of the Fall. But his looks really ran out around 1994 or so and now he looks like a scraggly old man.
- Ryan Reynolds.
- R46, you think Jon Hamm is UGLY? Man, you''re in serious need of some glasses. Or taste.
- Here''s one for the other old trolls: Anthony Geary. Luke Spencer was the man of ''every'' woman''s dreams - except he looked like Richard Simmons on a bad day.\
\
I never understood that one.
i win (if you know who he is/was)
- R46, since when is Ryan Reynolds closeted?
- Brad Pitt, he looks like a horse.
- Will Smith is hot but not my type, Tom Cruise & Brad Pitt are.
- Go get ''em, girls! Get out your nails, ladies! Rip this list to SHREADS, gurleenas!

Cuntessa Cornholia le Fond, Arbiter of Male Hotness!
- Brad Pitt is handsome. No one with eyes could dispute that. But he is and has always been bland, bland, bland. Like Robert Redford. There is just something "anemic" about his looks. "Too" perfect or something. Totally not sexy. He was a specimen around the time of Thelma and Louise, to be sure. Never did a thing for me. Ever.%0D\
%0D\
Taylor Lautner looks like a pig. Literally.%0D\
%0D\
Jon Hamm is sexy in the Mad Men role but not "gorgeous" otherwise. And he has a doughy, out of shape body.%0D\
%0D\
Robert Pattinson is DISGUSTING. I imagine he has skidmarks in his underwear. Seriously.
- Robert Redford turned down River Phoenix and instead cast Brad Pitt in A River Run through it because he looks just like him. Ego much?
- Anthony Geary might not have been handsome in any sense, but he did have sex appeal.\
\
I don''t get the appeal of Jake G.
- Another oldie: William Hurt. I never got that one.
- "For some reason straight guys are in love with Brad Pitt."\
\
Why is that?\
\
Also, I''m surprised no one has mentioned Matt Damon.
- I never understood Jude Law
- R63, watch "The Talented Mr. Ripley."

- More, please?
- I can somewhat see Tom Cruise as a heartthrob.\
\
What I can''t for the life of me understand is why anyone thinks he can act.
- I echo those who said George Clooney. Don''t see the appeal.
- Josh Duhamel. Dont get it.\
\
Most "heartthrob" professional athletes, Tom Brady, Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez...their hotness is a complete fabrication of the media.\
\
All average looking.
- Wow, I don''t think Tom Brady is "average looking" at all. Very handsome. \
\
Robert Pattison, Gerard Butler, and Antonio Banderas spring to mind. I''m sure I''ll think of others.
- [quote]Jon Hamm is sexy in the Mad Men role but not "gorgeous" otherwise. And he has a doughy, out of shape body.%0D\
%0D\
This is true I''m afraid. Jon Hamm has a beautiful face but his body is just meh. It''s clear he''s not a gym rat (which, oddly enough, I still find appealing).%0D\
%0D\
Looks good in his suits, though.
- George Clooney and Ryan Reynolds. I just don''t get the appeal.
- Jon Hamm has sort of a DILF thing going on. He looks like one of those hot dads you see at the mall stuck with a bunch of whining kids and a nagging wife. You know the kind, you lock eyes with them and they have this look like they''d love for you to follow them to the bathroom and suck them off because lord knows his wife won''t. It''d be his only escape from his mundane 9-5 life outside of golfing with the other DILFs from the block.
That''s a Mad Men episode waiting to happen.
- "Jon Hamm is sexy in the Mad Men role but not "gorgeous" otherwise. And he has a doughy, out of shape body."%0D\
%0D\
Which is totally appropriate to the period. Professional men of that era may have exercised a little, but too much working out cut into their smoking and drinking time. %0D\
%0D\
As for George Clooney... he is photogenic, at least in close shots. When the camera zooms in, he looks masculine, handsome, and charismatic. When the camera shows his whole body, he looks like a little man with a big head, and no muscles.
- How do you not get Ryan Reynolds?!? He''s fucking hot to death. AND funny!%0D\
%0D
- A few other oldies I never got:%0D\
%0D\
John Travolta - always just plain goofy looking and the characters he played were always a little dimwitted%0D\
%0D\
Shaun Cassidy - somewhat chinless%0D\
%0D\
David Cassidy - really average%0D\
%0D\
Leif Garrett - rodentlike fug
- He''s not a famous actor but I really never get why everyone thinks Halle Berry''s ex Gabriel Aubry(sp?) is so hot. I''ve seen plenty of pictures of him and though I find him attractive, he just seems to be one of these guys that people automatically label as "gorgeous!" and "beautiful!" even though I see 10 times better-looking guys just walking the streets of NYC every day.%0D\
%0D\
But whatever.
You may now return to your regularly-scheduled programming
- Dirty and unattractive Johnny Depp. Never understood his appeal.
- Darren Criss (Blaine, Glee). Extremely average to me. Never found him hot in the least.
- Though I appreciated Johnny Depp''s acting, I was never much of a fan of his sex appeal until I rewatched Chocolat. He is very sexy and handsome to me now.
- Matt Damon--great actor but I''ve been trying to figure out his so-called sex appeal for the past fifteen years or so. Don''t get it...ass and all.\
\
Johnny Depp--again..great actor. To me there''s *zero* sex appeal. His wife, Vanessa Paradis, is wayyy hotter.\
\
Robert Pattison--again--don''t get it. ot even his nude gay scenes in that movie were remotely interesting. Don''t know if it''s the twink/Twihard thing surrounding him, but I don''t get the sexbomb status.
- Going back some generations, I never got the appeal of Tom Cruies, Tom Sellick, Burt Reynolds or Elvis Presley.
- Matt Damon like Robert Redford are not good looking.
- cross-eyed Ryan Reynolds
- Leonardo DiCaprio\
\
Adrien Brody
Bonnie Prince Charlie
- I don''t think Adrien Brody is considered a heartthrob, per se, but I do find him incredibly sexy. I think it''s the nose. Plus, he has such great style.
- I can''t get past Lautner''s jacked up snout.\
\
\
\
(shudder)
- Glad I''m not the only one who fails to see the appeal of Matt Damon, bubble-butt or no.
- Jake Gyllenhall (sp?)%0D\
%0D\
He can''t act.%0D\
%0D\
He looks like he''s a D+ student.%0D\
%0D\
He was awful in BBM.%0D\
%0D
- Nothing astounds me more than Justin Bieber.
- Justin Bieber gets more child like the older he gets. It''s bizarre.\
\
Jake Gyllenhaal''s face reminds me of a neanderthal. He has a good body though.\
\
Taylor Lautner has the face of a pig and the voice of a little girl. And he''s short.\
\
Robert Pattinson has a flat, unremarkable face, and there''s certain times I think he has downs syndrome. He also has a pasty, flabby body and doesn''t bathe.\
\
Kellan Lutz has tard face\
\
Zac Efron looks greasy and his eyes are always squinting.\
\
Jon Hamm does nothing for me looks wise, but I think he''s talented.\
\
George Clooney: I don''t get the appeal and he''s always smug smug smug.\
\
Brad Pitt hasn''t been hot for at least 10 years.
- [quote]George Clooney: I don''t get the appeal and he''s always smug smug smug%0D\
%0D\
I''ve never found George Clooney attractive at all, but that''s just my opinion.
- Agree with OP''s list except for Jon Hamm. JH has classic looks and body which would make him believable as a gun slinger in the wild west, a former soldier from one of the great wars or a me generation Wall street broker from the 1980''s. His bod isn''t roided or gym rat which is a good choice for an actor since it doesn''t limit him to a particular ''historical period''. He also gives off a very masculine vibe. I''m not even into men but I can see his appeal to straight women. Something very male and ''all man'' about him.%0D\
%0D\
Brad Pitt has a rat face. Remember seeing him in person before all the microdermabrasion and procedures and the acne scars were hideous. He''s bland and even more boring now since he lost his youthful body.

How can anyone be so stunningly beautiful, but at the same time be SO stunningly devoid of talent (of any sort) is beyond me.\

- I never ''got'' the attractiveness of Brad Pitt. An insipid-looking guy with chipmunk cheeks that can''t really act. Not manly at all. And I''m a straight gal.
- I don''t know who half these people are.
Now, Lee Tracy was THE HOTNESS!
- I love guys like Josh Lucas and Patrick Wilson. To me, they ooze sexuality.
- bump
- Kevin James. I just have never gotten the appeal.
- Even in his prime, Brad looked like the nice kid working in the corner gas station.
- In his prime, Brad Pitt looked the nice kid at the corner gas station who I would give my left nut to suck off.
- R19, I think most of them are just young. They're 13 years old and he looks 13 years old. Lesbians don't consider him "a heartthrob" but do constantly joke about him being a lesbian icon (see: Lesbians Who Look Like Justin Bieber).
I kind of get who most of them end up considered heartthrobs if I think about it. There are only a few I get in the sense of seeing something attractive in them. Johnny Depp and Keanu Reeves I think have good looking faces and have had a few interesting characters, that is attractive. Robert Pattinson is considered a heartthrob because he played Edward Cullen but I've seen him in interviews and I think he's charming in an awkward, geeky, adorable way (not necessarily sexy).
- David Beckham. He's okay and all, but I have seen MUCH hotter.
- George Clooney
George%20Clooney
- Did OP really put Taylor "a purse is falling out of my mouth, Renesemee" alongside Brad Pitt?
- Eddie Redmayne
- Out of left field, but I've known several women who claim Prince (yes, Purple Rain Prince) as a hot, gorgeous sex symbol. Yuck, yuck. I've never met any gay man that feels the same. Can any women educate me on why they would be attracted to that ugly little man?
- R114, I am a gay man, and as I've written here before, I was deeply sexually attracted to Prince. I'm the only gay man I know who has been attracted to him. He's also the only black man to whom I've ever been attracted. I like very feminine men, and he had an extremely feminine beauty and curvaceous, sexy feminine body. He was also very sexy in movement. Pity he had to become a Jehovah's Witness and got away from his "nasty" music and persona.
- R115 = Jamie Foxx
- With a cock as big as Jon Hamm's, he doesn't have to be super pretty. That being said, he is a handsome man.

I find Taylor Lautner very attractive, though - can't really explain that one.
- Straight girl here and Hamm is super sexy.
