Eldergays, tell me about Franco Nero

[quote]Who would be his equivalent today?

Brenton Thwaites

Matt Bomer

He loves Vanessa, always has.

Matt Bomer is a good answer - Nero did look a lot like him when younger. He really was gorgeous but it's too bad he usually wore those cheesy moustache which made him appear less handsome.

Nero and Redgrave also have a son together but he didn't inherit his father's good looks.

Here's a photo of their son. He's completely average looking but at least he looks human unlike some other celebrity offspring (I'm looking at you Gummer and Willis girls!)

The shot of him in Querelle pawing at his crotch while thinking about Brad Davis is one of the sexiest shots ever put on film

in a jockstrap:

His first name was Franco. I'm not sure but I think his last name was Nero.

never more beautiful than in Django

Never was a man more beautiful than Franco Nero was in Camelot. He and Redgrave sizzled in every scene.

Vanessa is so English and Franco is so well Italian. Vanessa speaks Italian really well. That happens when you are snacking on an Italian sausage for so long.

Alain Delon was his French equal.

[quote]Was there ever anyone more gorgeous than Nero when he was young?

There were about a BILLION people

There is no modern equivalent truth be told. Hollywood's golden age is gone!

I think Vanessa & Franco actually got back together again a few years ago. If true, good for them.

Gorgeous blue eyes. I'm a sucker for darker men with blue eyes.

Yes, Vanessa and Nero married a couple of years back
