His mother is Irish and he was born on a military base in Northern Ireland. He's not handsome but he has a rugged, pleasant face and he is all man;) Peter O'Toole. Maureen O'Hara. Absolutely gorgeous in The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Pierce Brosnan. Stephen Boyd. Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Stuart Townsend. Eve Hewson, Bono's little girl. Conleth Hill. Yes, I think Lord Varys is HOT!. Kerry Condon, also of Rome fame. Maureen O'Sullivan. I like the way DDL looks. He was sexy as hell in Last of the Mohicans.

"Black Irish" just means Irish people with dark hair and sometimes dark eyes or complexions. It's an imprecise term that could refer to someone who looks almost Arab or Hispanic to someone who looks completely white but has dark hair (relative to the general Irish population) and possibly even blue eyes. Colin Farrell is a good example.

This is a bizarre pick admittedly, but comedian Sean Hughes had a kind of appeal as a young man (in the early-mid 90's). Maybe good comedians seem more attractive than they are physically because of their wit, idk, but Sean was cute in a way (at least to anyone that likes effeminate or pretty guys). Not sure what he looks like now, but Irish tend to age ok.

Ofc to most people it's hard to overlook that he's pallid as fuck, neurotic, and a sloppy lifelong drunk. A mate of mine once called him 'a hot version of Wormtongue from Lord of the Rings', which would no doubt get a laugh out of Sean.

This thread was started two years ago. Had it been started today, Aidan Turner would no doubt be listed in the top 5.

The original Irish had a lot of genetic material from people who lived in the areas known as Spain, Sardenia, the Middle East and the Russian steppes of all places.

I have travelled a lot in Europe and the older I get the more I understand that every single fucking country has there own kind of handsome young men.

Now Europe is so multi-cultural one sees all sorts of handsome people in every big city.

The most attractive guy I say yesterday in Geneva was a tall thin black north african (somalian? ethiopian?) with shiny wavy hair and very very dark skin. He walked into the barber shop and most of the men noticed how radiant and handsome he was. Also he came into the guido-ish barber shop while 70 meters away is the new one for black guys.

Caitriona Balfe is a flawless Irish beauty. NOT!!!! Why do American women have to be drop dead gorgeous for modeling and print work, but the women from the U.K. can are just passably attractive.. The Irish haven't had a beauty to compete with American women since Anne Gunning.

Yes, R154. Some Irish are descended from Jews who moved there from Spain to escape the Inquisition.

R157 yes the place known today as spain sent many people to Ireland. But the genetic tests are on a 5,000 year old irishman where they found matches to Spain and the Middle East. Of course they are closest to Scottish and Welsh. But yeah the Spanish empire resulted a dribbling on new handsome and swarthy sperm loads, if we believe in the tales of the origin of the Black Irish.

Im not sure its proven that the black irish are descended from Spanish sailors. Some historians claim they predate the wars. Also, some say there is no such thing as black Irish. Whatever. I am Black Irish from Cork and though I never lived there when I meet people from South Ireland in Europe they all identify me as such immediately. Must be a strong look.

My grandmother was drop dead gorgeous in her wedding photo. When I knew her, she was like a big potato with lumps and eyes (potato eyes). Her jaw had probably been broken by my grandfather when he was young and drunk because it was displaced. She wore thick black glasses. Her upper arms were as feminine as Popeye's. Didn't stop her from wearing all sleeveless clothes once she hit menopause.

My grandparents remained poor all of their lives. They had no aspirations for themselves or their children. "Get a job" was the family mantra and you heard it directed at you by age 13. Just "get a job.," nothing else. There was no affection, no praise, no pride in ones accomplishments because there weren't any accomplishments. If you had aspirations you were, "getting above yourself." They were from the north.

Keep in mind all actors and actresses have plastic surgery and cosmetic dermatology available to them. They're mostly going to age well, unless they're Sinead O'Connor because she's always off her meds.

As a fan of men on the pretty side, I agree that there are many dishy Irish men.

However, I think the beauties of both genders, both pretty males and bonny females, don't age well. The fine-pored Irish skin gets lots of wrinkles, their smoking and drinking ways also age them quickly.

As with any ethnic type, get 'em whilst they're young, me lads.

As an American born son of parents born in Ireland, I think there is a big difference. Even if I’m 100% genetically Irish, the culture, behavior, health, sexual attitude - not to mention circumcision - make me American. Growing up surrounded by tons of 3rd and 4th generation Irish Americans, I’m always surprised how they always identified as Irish - even though in most cases there was some non-Irish ancestor. Not sure if it’s just an American thing - it didn’t see it as much with Italian, Polish, French, English.

You have to watch the show to appreciate it fully I think. He was Meghan's vet & lives in London though he's Irish.
