Actors at their Hottest

Tom was at his hottest in 2002's 'Minority Report.'

Colin Farrell was also at his hottest in 'Minority Report.'

Those two had a hot sexual chemistry also!

Bradley was much hotter with short, short hair.

Belmondo in That Man from Rio

Michael Douglas in Streets of San Francisco.

Alain Delon in Purple Noon.

Michael in '42.

Leslie Howard/The Petrified Forest

Kevin Costner - Bull Durham

Warren Beatty - Heaven Can Wait

I'd say A River Runs Through It for Brad Pitt. Robert Redford was determined to showcase his gorgeousness.

Kevin Costner in 1987's 'No Way Out.'

Charlie Sheen in [italic]Ferris Bueller's Day Off[/italic]

For me, Redford was hottest in the Way We Were.

Brad Pitt in 1995's 'Se7en.'

Val Kilmer in [italic]Top Gun[/italic]

Robert Redford in a 1962 episode of 'The Twilight Zone.'

Richard Gere in [italic]Breathless[/italic]

Wilford Brimley -- the Liberty Mutual commercial

Chris Pratt in 2015's 'Jurassic World.'

Henry Cavill in 2018 'Mission Impossible: Fallout.'

Brad Pitt in [italic]Thelma & Louise[/italic]

Chris Pratt has never been hot

Jesse Bradford: Bring It On (please)

Eric Bana in [italic]Munich[/italic], but I cannot find a good shot.

Christopher Reeve Deathtrap

Zac Efron in “The Paperboy.” Great swimmer’s physique and a beautiful face. The physique got bigger, often too big, and he lost a bit of the beauty soon after.

I’d pick Bana in “Troy” instead of “Munich,” because that movie really presented him as beefcake.

WEHT Eric Bana?

Bana still does movies, but they’re more the type to show up in your Netflix recommendations than in multiplexes. He’s still hot, although I’d like it if he ditched the distinguished gray and went for the Dylan McDermott at 50 look, because he could pull it off.

Keanu Reeves in Point Break. Yes! OP.

Brad Pitt. Meet Joe Black. Perfection.

I think Keanu was way hotter Speed

Leonardo in Romeo + Juliet. He was such a fresh face. Incandescent.

Marlon Brando in The Wild One, even though,the fashion now looks more ridiculous than badass.

Agh ! Good grief !

Barry Brown

Bad Company (1972)

Fred Ward in Henry & June.

Runner up: Tremors

Helen Lawson in “Hanky Panky.”

Fred Williamson in Hell Up in Harlem.

Mel Gibson in Gallipoli. Being with blond Mark Lee helped too.

Mel Gibson - The Year of Living Dangerously

Robert Mitchum in Hos Kind of Woman.

Johnny Depp- Public Enemies

[quote] Robert Mitchum in Hos Kind of Woman.

Is "Ho's Kind of Woman" some sort of lesbian picture?

Alan Rickman: Robin Hood Princes of Thieves - he was 10 times hotter than Costner in that one.

Christopher Reeve - Superman (basically the reason why I'm gay)

Tony Leung in Chungking Express.

Mickey Rourke

Diner

Since we keep covering Australians (yeah, I know Mel was born here): FoGuy Pearce, I can’t decide between “Priscilla” and “L.A. Confidential.” For Brenton Thwaites, the execrable “Gods of Egypt” and for the Hemsworths, Chris in “Rush” and Liam in “The Dressmaker.”

Cary Grant in Madame Butterfly in 1932.

R48 - LA Confidential is still one of the best looking movies ever. Everyone in that movie looked like a million bucks.

Raf Vallone in La Venganza.

Maybe not Danny DeVito, R50, but Pearce, Crowe and Simon Baker were all gorgeous, and David Strathairn had a daddy appeal that some people like.

Actors only, r34. That's Actress-American Reese Witherspoon!

Matt was his hottest in his “Will & Grace” episode, Ben in “Dogma,” and Casey in “Gone Baby Gone.”

Will Smith - I Am Legend.

Brad Pitt in A River Runs Through It. Simply gorgeous.

Alec Baldwin Dress Gray

Matthew Perry in Friends

Goran Visnjic in [italic]Practical Magic[/italic]

Tom Cruise in "Cocktail"

Eric Stoltz/ Some Kind of Wonderful

Jason Priestley in Love & Death on Long Island

I agree, Pitts was definitely A River Runs Through It.

Alfred Brimley in Our House.

Jan Michael Vincent

Buster and Billie (1974)

I hate that Mel Gibson turned out to be such a vile human being. He was so astoundingly good-looking in his youth, it's scary.

Drew Carey when he was young (and in the army!) looked like the meatheaded jock from high school you had an inkling you could "turn" if you played your cards right.

DiCaprio was sexier in "The Beach" than R+J or "Titanic."

Keanu Reeves in John Wick

No Brad Pitt in, "Fight Club"?

Cruise, Pitt, DiCaprio, Depp were never hot to me. Clooney was sexy at Roseanne, but no to much after. Mel Gibson was pretty hot in the First Lethal Weapon, it also helps that he's a pretty good actor and that he hadn't shown the crazy yet.

Depp was ethereally pretty in Bennie and June.

Keanu Reeves hotter in My Own Private Idaho.

Richard Gere was old by the time Pretty Woman came out. His prime was American Gigolo. Or maybe Looking for Mr. Good bar if you want to see some ass.

Ben Barnes in Dawn Treader.

Depp - Private Resort (Lean, Six Pack, Cute Little Ass, Not a single tattoo)

Orlando Bloom - Troy

Tom Hardy - Inception (So fuckable)

Cillian Murphy - Batman Begins

Ryan Reynolds - Blade: Trinity

Henry Cavill - Man of Steel (that chest!)

Chris Evans - Fantastic Four

Chris Hemsworth - Vacation

Chris Pine - Star Trek

Michael Fassbender - Shame

Michael B. Jordan - Creed

Sean Penn - At Close Range

Alex Pettyfer - Magic Mike

Christian Bale - American Psycho

I never thought Jeremy Irons was sexy during his early career. It wasn’t until he hit his 40s and in films like “Damage” and “Lolita” that I started finding him incredibly hot.

And yet, R67, I remember he was called "fat" during the filming of The Beach. But, yes, he had a nice tan.

Now how about a young John Savage in Hair. He was cute in the late 70s, early 80s.

Yes Richard Gere in Looking for Mr Goodbar, Charlie Sheen in Lucas, and Leslie Howard is good looking said no one ever.

Paul Newman every damn film bitches!

Redford, Jeremiah Johnson

Takeshi Koneshiro, Sleepless Town

Mikael Persbrandt, Beck

Joel Kinnaman, Johan Falk

Paul Rudd in Ideal Home.

Bryan Brown, Winter of our Dreams

Charles Mesure, Street Legal

Toshiro Mifune, Snow Trail

Laurence Fishburne, Othello

Andre Holland, Moonlight. Though I expect many more hot movies from him in the future.

O'Toole, Lawrence of Arabia

r89 Currently being hot on Castle Rock on Hulu.

r87 HOT!

Kim Rossi Stuart, The Cave of the Golden Rose

Another vote for Mel Gibson in The Year of Living Dangerously. For the younger folk who may seem suspicious, trust me. It is shocking how breathtakingly beautiful he is in that movie. Even a few years later, Lethal Weapon time, he had lost something.

Daniel Sunjata, Rescue Me

Mark Harmon in this 1985 Coors commercial.

I know R91. Currently watching Castle Rock exclusively for André.

Giancarlo Giannini, L'innocente

Chris Pine was cocky, suave and intensely sexual in his first outing as Captain Kirk (as Kirk should be). His chemistry with Zachary Quinto was also perfect. The producers really got the casting right on that film.

Pine has aged spectacularly quickly since then though.

I agree with Mel Gibson in YoLD and Mrs Soffel and Gallipoli, even his slow Tim. And then he slowly turned into an ugly nazi, or was revielsed to be one. Years can be cruel.

I hate hate hate short, short hair...do not tell me anyone is sexier with short, short hair.

Tom Cruise was never sexy, IMO.

And in Tim, which sold the idea to older women that it could be hot to go with a young man with learning disabilities.

He is in this scene, R101.

Keanu Reeves was definitely hottest in 'Speed' for me. Never found him hot before that.

Bradley Cooper was never hot. In his youth he was such a disgraceful punk.

Hated the show, but loved Matthew Fox's look toward the end of 'Lost'.

YThe movie sucked but looks-wise Mel Gibson was never hotter than he was playing a farmer in “The River”.

....

"Laurence Fishburne, Othello"

Fishburne, I'd say Boyz in the Hood

Tom Cruise, I'd go all the way back to Risky Business.

I love you, R100.

I always thought Sean Patrick Flannery was at his most beautiful in the movie Girl.

Ralph Fiennes - The English Patient

Clift in A Place in the Sun

Jean Marais in Orpheus

Michael York and Anthony Higgins in Something for Everyone (at 38:40)

Another vote for Brad Pitt in Thelma and Louise. (He was 28, basically unknown and paid $6000 for the movie.)

And as a young gayling, I went to see Gere in American Gigolo countless times when that film came out. I wanted him, the clothes, the apartment, and the car.

I thought Gere was at his hottest/most beautiful in Days of Heaven. Both he and Sam Shepard were something to behold. Terrence Malick and Nestor Almendros were masters at lighting them in that film.

Olivia de Havilland, The Swarm

Oded Fehr in [italic]the Mummy[/italic], even with the silly tattoos

Travis Fimmel in Vikings. Anyone got gay intel on him?

Here's a teenaged Fishburn in [italic]Apocalypse Now[/italic]. So young and cute. There's a scene of him dancing shirtless on the boat as they move upriver, but I can't find a good photo

R,119...

Christopher Plummer in The Royal Hunt of the Sun.

R119, once more...

Sal Mineo in Who Killed Teddy Bear?

Paul Newman in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.

Brando in Streetcar.

Wesley Snipes as Blade.

Albert Brooks literally at his hottest in "Broadcast News"

Eric Roberts debuts in King of the Gypsies.

Woody Harrelson in [italic]White Men Can't Jump[/italic]

Blond guys aren't usually my thing, but he and Rosie Perez made a cute couple.

Hrithik Roshan in [italic]Jodha Akbar[/italic]

James Edwards in The Setup

Tom Berenger, In Praise of Older Women

R105 - LOL! That's not Bradley.

Harrison Ford during the first two Indiana Jones movies...

Michael Pitt in Boardwalk Empire.

Brendon Fraser in George of the Jungle. And Gods and Monsters.

Two very different looks and yet......

R138 - I've never understood the love for Michael Pitt. He is such a pseudo-brooder (annoying to watch on screen) and just not hot.

Fuck yeah, R120.

Although he was also smoking hot during his guest run on Charmed.

Milo back when he was on Heroes. I’m probably in the minority but he’s just not as hot to me in this current daddy phase.

R78 Leslie Howard was beautiful.

Peter Krause, season one of Six Feet Under.

Garret Dillahunt In Raising Hope. The show’s head honcho wisely had him shirtless many times throughout the series’ run.

Jesus, half the replies are from one person. Wait for some back and forth.

Gaspard Ulliel in Paris, Je T'Aime

Mathieu Kassovitz- Amen

Vincent Perez- Queen Margot

Julian Sands circa Room With a View:

Vincent Perez was much hotter in Ceux qui m'aiment prendront le train

William Zabka, present day, in Cobra Kai. The hottest DILF on tv.

Montgomery Clift in Red River.

R12, he looks a bit like Alain Delon there.

Russel Crowe -Gladiator

Here's the scene, R122.

William Hurt in Eyewitness.

Or Altered States or Body Heat.

For r137: agreed.

Harry Belafonte in Carmen Jones.

Thanks, r155. I'd forgotten the song was "Satisfaction."

I wish I could see American Gigolo today.

You are my way to Another World

Farley Granger briefly stalked Belafonte, but Harry wasn’t having it, he was and is heterosexual.

Ralph Fiennes in Schindler's List

[quote]I wish I could see American Gigolo today.

You can.

Speaking of Granger, R162, he was at his hottest in Senso.

Tab Hunter in Island of Desire

Personally, I think Farley was at his hottest when he was younger in Strangers on a Train. He became more effete as he aged.

Richard Chamberlain in Julius Caesar

I don't disagree, R167, was considering a few of his film noir roles from the 40s in addition to Strangers on a Train but landed on Senso, which was only three years later, because the gay Visconti lit Granger to the greatest aesthetic effect.

Jeff Daniels in Something Wild.

I love this thread so much. I hope it goes on and on.

Aidan Quinn in ‘Benny and Joon’. I think most people would say ‘Reckless’ or ‘Desperately Seeking Susan’ but I thought he was more attractive and sexier in his thirties. It may have also been all the plaid and denim he wore in the film.

172 posts and no this? Travesty.

Matthew Broderick as Ferris.

Sean Connery in Thunderball.

Jim Brown in Slaughter.

Jeff Bridges. Against All Odds. Thread closed!

Ed Harris in a 1980 Charles Bronson film called Borderline.

Robby Benson in Running Brave

I always thought Adam Scott was cute but I thought he was particularly sexy in ‘Our Idiot Brother’. It may have been the facial hair.

Julian Morris in Donkey Punch

R132 - for me Woody is one of those men who has gotten sexier with age, even though he’s lost all of his blond hair!

This clip from Prairie Home Companion is for all of the feets trolls out there.

Chris Meloni during OZ and the first few years of L&O: SVU period.

I think Crowe was hottest in this early career, gay film. A good one.

Cary Elwes in Princess Bride

Nicholas Cage, Moonstruck:

A Double Play-Colin Firth and Hart Bochner in Apartment Zero

You have your choice of Hot Daddy Viggo Mortensen, LoTR:

Or younger Viggo in a Perfect Murder:

I'll see your [italic]Sum of Us[/italic] and raise you [italic]the Quick and the Dead[/italic], r184.

Fred Williamson in M*A*S*H

R190, I concede that may be closer to his peak. Unfortunately, like Mel, way over the hump on all fronts.

Mel Gibson (you should pardon the expression) in "Tim" opposite womanly Piper Laurie, who in her bio says she had a last-day-of-filming fling with him and that he was sweet and nothing like the mess he became.

How about Viggo Mortensen in The Reflecting Skin ?

There is a scene where he is naked with a clothed Lindsay Find an, but I can't find it.

R186 - I totally agree! It was the only time that I ever wanted to fuck him and he sure was REALLY fuckable in that film. Paul Mercurio - "Exit to Eden". Hottest ass on film ever that just screamed "fuck me". Do not google what he looks like today, but damn was he one gorgeous man during his prime.

[quote] Mel Gibson (you should pardon the expression) in "Tim" opposite womanly Piper Laurie, who in her bio says she had a last-day-of-filming fling with him.

Wait - what???

Gerard Butler in 2003's 'Tomb Raider 2'.

This is my go-to Viggo in The Indian Runner.

“Tim, luv, be a dear and throw a hose over Miss Horton’s dusty bushes!”

Sam Elliott , Road House:

Michael Fassbender, Hex:

Alive starring Vincent Spano

I vote Viggo in [italic]a Perfect Murder[/italic].

This was the only time, in this scene, when Sylvester Stallone was hot:

It's hard to pick one Dolph (I prefer Daddy more), but he sure is pretty here in the early to mid 80's:

Michael T Weiss —Jeffrey

Liam Neeson in The Good Mother.

Good catch, R136! That's Lee Harvey Osward who I think Bradley Cooper resembles.

Matt Dillon - early 90s, around the time ‘Beautiful Girls’ came out.

Vincent Spano pretty much at any point in his acting career

Yes, and keep your mitts off my Vinnnie!

William Holden in Sunset Boulevard

Billy Zane in The Phantom, I think this is?

Casper Van Dien in Starship Troopers (1997)

Gregory Peck - when was he not?

This photo has been on DL a number of times but John Payne never looked hotter. The movie is Kid Nightingale.

^^^Never wears out its welcome!

Deniz Akdeniz in Hunters.

Chris Evans in "Fantastic Four."

R212, He was even hotter in "Golden Boy"(1939).

Bless all of the Viggo posters and R190, too!

Usually viewed as a quirky looking spaz, Rowan Atkinson had a few years looking halfway sexy in "Blackadder".

Stanley Tucci in ‘Easy A’. He wore tight shirts and his sexy, hairy forearms were prominently displayed.

R223 - Stanley Tucci is one of those actors whose hotness snuck up on me. The older and balder he got, the more I kept thinking, "FUCK yes!"

Judd Nelson - The Breakfast Club

Albert Finney in Two for the Road

Al Pacino in Dog Day Afternoon

Andy Garcia in Untouchables

Barry Tubb when he appeared in a Broadway play with MTM in 1987. I had the biggest crush on him in the 80s.

I wonder if he’s been asked to participate in the Top Gun sequel. He’s barely recognizable now.

R225, Even with those huge nostrils?

Pretty sure that’s Garcia in Godfather III r228

Tom Hiddleston, Only Lovers Left Alive..

Christian Slater in Untamed Heart

James Spader, Pretty in Pink.

Daniel Day-Lewis, Last of the Mohicans.

Ben Affleck in Armageddon

Benedict Cumberbatch, whenever he finds himself on fire.

Ian Ogilvy as The Saint

Basil Rathbone in Captain Blood

James Franciscus, Mr. Novak, in an Ape sequel.

In disagree with OP on the following guys:

Richard Gere (was at his hottest in American Gigolo). Tom Cruise (was at his hottest in Risky Business). Mel Gibson (was at his hottest in Year of Living Dangerously). Jude Law (was at his hottest in Wilde). Brad Pitt (was at his hottest in Thelma and Louise). Leonardo Dicaprio was never hot, he always looked like a little boy.

In general, I think stars are at their hottest before they become overly conscious of their image.

According to Jane Fonda, Franciscus took her innocence (cherry).

Another Barry Tubb lover here, r229!

And if you saw him in that play with MTM you'll also remember that he had a prolonged nude scene in it, albeit only from the rear.

Charlton Heston as young Moses. So sue me

R244, no lawsuit deserved. He was very hot. Surprised it took so long to get to him.

Charlton Heston earned money in college posing nude for art classes. I wonder if any drawings ever turned up.

Clint Eastwood in the 60's:

James McAvoy in "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe"

Joseph Fiennes in The Very Thought of You

The late Bernie Casey in The Man Who Fell to Earth.

Josh Hartnett, ca. Wicker Park

Alex Ludwig around the time of the first Hunger Games

Beau Bridges in The Landlord (1970)

Steve Buscemi, Living in Oblivion

Julian McMahon was so freaking hot when he was on Charmed.

Unfortunately Ryan Murphy proceeded to destroy his sex appeal with Nip/Tuck.

I think Mel Gibson was at his hottest in Mad Max and The Year of Living Dangerously.

Richard Gere was at his hottest in Looking for Mr. Goodbar.

Warren Beatty was definitely his sexist in Splendor in the Grass.

Robert Redford - Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

Orlando Bloom in Kingdom of Heaven.

I thought Stallone was really only hot in Rocky 4 but I thought he looked great there. He was a bit too soft and dirty for me in Rocky 1 and 2 and then had coke face during Rocky 3 (and Rambo and Rhinestone).

And I was wrong about Mel Gibson. SO hot and def at his peak in Year of Living Dangerously. That's a bit before my time but he was amazing looking. I'd hunt it out and watch it but loathe that Nazi Deplorable so much.

Denzel in Out of Time.

I love LA Confidential. I watched it again a couple of weeks ago.

R254, Steve Buscemi was never hot. Nevvvvver.

Just no OP to your picks

Tom Cruise - A few Good Men/MI2

Brad Pitt - Legends of the Fall

Clooney - Out of Sight

Gosling - Crazy, Stupid Love

Mel Gibson - Tequila Sunrise

Denzel - Mississippi Masala

DiCaprio - Catch Me if You Can

Richard Gere - American Graffiti

Keanu Reeves - Point Break

McConnaughey - LoneStar

Jude Law - Talented Mr Ripley

Pitt always looks hot even when he is trying not to be like in 12 monkeys. Even as a crazy loon he was cute

It depends on your tastes. I think he is exquisite here from Legends of the Fall

Mel in Tequila Sunrise

r267 Tequila Sunrise was the last Mel movie I saw. I started hearing about his gayhating not long after that.

On the topic of formerly hot right-wing nut-jobs, James Woods was really sexy in the movie Fast-Walking co-starring DL fave Kay Lenz.

Jude Law in Gattaca.

Closeted trans woman Jeff Chandler in Female on the Beach with Joan Crawford.

Pity he wanted to be the female on that beach.

Julian is looking pretty hottest today.

The front & back of Gene Kelly.

Bruce Lee in The Way of the Dragon.

Nobody can pull off a wife-beater quite like him.

This thread just keeps on going with few repeats and no squabbles. Good work, DL! It’s been a fun one.

R273, I vote for Gene's butt in The Pirate.

Arena (1953) starring Gig Young

The hot one in Living in Oblivion was James LeGros!

WEHT?

Paul Reubens - Peewee Herman. Mmmmmm makes me shoot in my pants.

The obvious.

r278, he's still hot:

No R281, he's not. Not even for a guy approaching 60.

He was at his hottest in Drugstore Cowboy. But, you can see his hole in Point Break.

Fredric March

Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde

Travis Fimmel in Tarzan (2003)

R265 Richard Gere was in American Graffiti?!

If Richard Dreyfuss was in American Gigolo, would anyone call him?

Benicio del Toro in Licence to Kill

Denzel Washington in Ricochet

DMX in Belly

Kyle Maclachlan in Twin Peaks, although his dance scene in Blue Velvet with Laura Dern renders them both angelic.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt in Inception. So trim, so fast, so elegant, so dangerous.

Alan Rickman in Die Hard. Sex from beginning to end.

Not sexy, but as mesmerizingly beautiful as a Bouguereau painting - Keith Gordon in "Dressed to Kill". The face of an angel in a film set in hell. Odd, as although he was a very talented actor, he never looked the least bit attractive in any other film.

Christian Bale in American Psycho. In fact, the whole cast in American Psycho. My God, that was one gorgeous bunch of people and they nailed the 80s look without going overboard.

Another actor I have never otherwise found attractive: Eddie Redmayne in the ludicrous Jupiter Rising. A terrific high camp performance in a movie entirely unworthy of its grandeur.

I know this is supposed to be actors only, but I have to give a shout out to Jennifer Aniston in Bad Bosses. I have never found her all that interesting, let alone attractive, but she was fabulous in that very silly movie and also had the cutest body and the absolute cutest tits. It was the first time I thought she might have a sense of humor, let alone a sexual presence and she played both like it was no big thing.

Warren Beatty in Bonnie and Clyde

It's a pity that many of these films are such utter garbage that you can't enjoy these actors beauty beyond the photos.

Rob Lowe (I know, I know) in The Outsiders.

Michael J. Fox, twink extraordinaire in ‘The Secret Of my Success’

Rupert Everett-“The Comfort Of Strangers”

Everett also looked great in Another Country

Both Everett and Firth were at their hottest in Another Country.

R297 - So true. It's a crime what Everett did to his face.

I never had much of an awareness of Firth until "Love, Actually" era, so seeing him so young in these pics and gifs from the '80s and '90s blows my mind. SO HOT

Jeremy Irons in Die Hard With A Vengeance

Frank Langella made Dracula sexy:

Olivier Martinez in Unfaithful.

Paul Newman was incredibly sexy in Hud but the character was such a cad. Paul Newman was sexy in all of his movies from the beginning through Bucth Cassidy & the Sundance Kid.

Lawrence Harvey in Summer and Smoke. Also in Butterfield 8.

Lawrence Harvey in Butterfield 8.

I had such a crush on him, R304. I used to see the ads for that movie, but I never got to see it because it was on the "C" for "Condemned" list for Catholics (not that I was old enough to get in the theatre in the first place). When I moved to NYC, anytime someone would give their 288 phone exchange, I would think "Whore!"

Matthias Schoenaerts in the remake of Far from the Madding Crowd.

Robert Redford in This Property is Condemned.

R281, wow. If that's recent, he's even hotter now.

R263, Simon Baker was pretty dazzling as the bi actor in LAC.

[quote]Bradley Cooper was never hot. In his youth he was such a disgraceful punk.

He was hot in Case 39.

R306, he's gorgeous AND a superb actor. Devastating in Bullhead.

For R309. Cute, but actually think Simon at his hottest later on , as a man.

At no point when taking in the visage of Simon Baker have I not imagined the joy of having his rock-hard penis locomoting in my mouth until white stuff.

I spent most of the LA Confidential shoot with my hand down Simon Baker's pants - jealous, bitches?

R53 He totally looks like Reese in that photo. Reese's son looks like Leo too.

Doesn't Simon Baker have horrible B.O.?

Clive Owen in Second Sight. He plays a London cop who is hiding the fact that he's going blind.

r315 That. Is. What. I'm. Saying!

Robert Sean Leonard in Dead Poets Society.

John Barrymore, 1917 and about five years into his professional movie career (would have been around 35yo)

Pitt was hottest in Fight Club. Bar none.

Fassbender in X-Men: First Clas but he's the "hottest" in just about ANYTHING.

[quote]Fassbender in X-Men: First Class but he's the "hottest" in just about ANYTHING.

If you're a Fassbender fan.

Cesar Romero in Devil is a Woman. Tall, dark, oddly handsome, slim, masculine AND effeminate. I think he's sex on stick in this.

Cesar was a hottie! He looked really good in his Coast Guard uniform.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers in Match Point or Bend it like Beckham.

Sorry, it's a tie!

Tom Hardy

r327 is a FAIL. You have to post a pic of the project he was in.

That's a photo of Lee Harvey Oswald, R105.

Unlike Farley Granger, Cesar Romero only got hotter and more masculine as he aged. I think he was at his best with silver hair in the 1950s/60s.

Romero was definitely a hot daddy

Alan Bates was net hot at toiled. This from The Fixer is about at his hottest.

/very hot at times. Tired of spell correct on this small screen.

Gilbert Roland and Ramon Novarro just before talkies changed everything...

Wasn't Romero an easy-going and good lay for all the closeted gay stars of Hollywood? I think like Dietrich he was of the generation that didn't take pains to hide their bisexuality.

Ramon Novarro - Ben-Hur

[quote]If you're a Fassbender fan.

Yeah...that’s kinda the point, fuckface.

Even if you're not a Fassbender fan, who could resist him in Fish Tank?

Alan Bates in The Go-Between

Tom Hardy

Actually, Gilbert Roland had a very long career after the talkies started, with a Golden Globe nomination as late as 1964, according to Wiki.

He made his last movie when he was a young-looking 76: Barbarosa, it's a good western with beautiful cinematography. He died 12 years later.

Roland is quite the DILF with RJ Wagner (with a perm and some added muscle) as father and son Greek sponge divers n Beyond the 12 Mile Reef.

R251 I found Josh Hartnett much hotter in Pearl Harbor.

I thought Sam Neill was sexiest when he was in his late 30s/early-mid 40s as compared to when he was younger. He was such a DILF in films during that period including ‘Dead Calm’, ‘Jurassic Park’ and ‘Sirens’.

I also feel the same about Colin Firth...I actually found him hotter looking in the first two ‘Bridget Jones’ movies than in ‘Pride & Prejudice ‘. To me he looked better with just a little bit of weight on him.

Louis Jourdan's first English language film The Paradine Case (Hitchcock, 1947)

To me Colin Firth has never been hot. I like him as an actor but he looks like your typical pasty, thin-lipped Englishman

The opposite of "actors at their hottest": this is Colin Firth in Fever Pitch.

Sean Bean as Sharpe

Jason Isaacs in The Patriot.

Hugh Jackman in the 2nd X-Men film.

Merchant Ivory managed to coax and film Sam West, not the most handsome of actors, to look ravishingly tragic in Howards End. The walk trough the purple fields is amazing.

What is it with the English and not having lips? Kenneth Branagh as a prime example.

Fortunately there are Englishmen with lips...exhibit A: Douglas Booth.

Kris Kristofferson in Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid Jude Law in Cold Mountain Jean Marc Barr in Big Blue Helmut Berger in The Damned Alain Delon in Rocco and his Brothers

Mark Wahlberg - The Substitute. This movie is as bad as a film can get, but Marky Mark was still looking like the most fuckable thing on the planet back in 1993; the things that I wanted to do to his voluptuous body and ass. Just a few years later he would start to look apish .

R353, Hardy has lips enough for Branagh AND Irons.

OMG, R348, talk about dogs!

Yup. To be fair, this was a much better movie than the Americanized version with that "please like me" guy on late night.

SO glad to see Alan Bates on this thread...as Gabriel Oak in "Far from the Madding Crowd," in "Women in Love".....HAVE MERCY.

Just saw Jan-Michael Vincent on Bonanza --- my God, he was fucking beautiful.

Clark Gable, Red Dust (1932).

Wears tight close in it. Some the stills from this film (and other earlier ones) had his ears on full display, but he had all his teeth in this era. Perfect jawline.

R351 - he was sexier in Swordfish, a terrible movie but it had that super hot ‘forced’ blowjob scene.

I agree about Gable and his early films. He looked his best in the pre-Code era. Check him out in Dancing Lady with Our Joan.

I guess I also prefer him without his mustache like in Mutiny on the Bounty.

Harrison Ford in Witness

Christopher Jones, Three in the Attic

R365 - Harrison Ford has such a "Dad" face/vibe. I don't mean "hot daddy" (although he is/was), but everything about his persona seemed like he was your father.

Christian Bale, REIGN OF FIRE

Aidan Quinn, DESPERATELY SEEKING SUSAN

Peter Gallagher, SUMMER LOVERS

Dermot Mulroney, THE WEDDING DATE

Alain Delon, PURPLE NOON

Clint Eastwood, HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER

Kevin Costner, THE UNTOUCHABLES

Josh Hartnett, PEARL HARBOR

Timothy Olyphant, THE CRAZIES

Andy Garcia, INTERNAL AFFAIRS

Jonathan Rhys Myers & Henry Cavill in the first season of The Tudors. Breathtaking. Especially Henry.

Warren Beatty in both SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS and BONNIE & CLYDE

Kurt Russell, BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA

Antonio Banderas, WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN

Matt Damon, THE TALENTED MR RIPLEY

Both Johnathan Schaech & Tom Everett Scott, THAT THING YOU DO!

Mel Gibson, THE YEAR OF LIVING DANGEROUSLY (close runner up, TIM)

Justin Theroux, CHARLIE'S ANGELS

Dean Cain, THE BROKEN HEARTS CLUB

Brad Pitt...can't decide...MEET JOE BLACK, A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT (handsomest face), FIGHT CLUB (best body)....

Alexander Godunov, also in Witness

Yes, R364! I almost put “Dancing Lady” instead of “Red Dust.” Agree about “Mutiny on the Bounty” too.

Here’s one from MOTB with Joan’s hubby at the time:

[quote]Aidan Quinn, DESPERATELY SEEKING SUSAN

I finally saw An Early Frost with Aidan Quinn last year (it was on Youtube). It came out the same year as Desperately Seeking Susan. He was such a hottie then!

Costner, "No Way Out"

R374 - already mentioned.

Richard Gere and Sam Shepard, "Days of Heaven"

Flounder is my favorite James LeGros film.

Aidan Quinn in Reckless, the conventional teenage rebel movie.

Whatever happened to AQ ? Why didn't he have a bigger career ?

[R375] - okay to mention actors/movies more than once.

Kit Harington as Jon Snow. He looks awful otherwise, like a younger Johnny Galecki.

Gerard Butler in 300

Harrison Ford in Working Girl did NOT seem like my father and I VERY much wanted to FUCK Jack, like every secretary and female banker in the movie wanted, too.

It’s very hard to pin Perry King at his hottest as his hotness lasted so long . Here, young, in Mandingo, I think.

Quinn claims that he never sought a big career and likes his level of fame, R378. He stays out of LA and is happy that way. 35 years of solid work, plenty of acclaim, and now in his seventh season of a hit TV series...most actors would make major sacrifices to have that degree of success.

Thanks, R383. I had lost sight of him. I'm happy his career is fine.

Tim Matheson as Otter. Especially in a toga.

Ben Barnes as Dorian Gray

Charles Farrell, silent and early talkies, Mayor of Palm Springs and My Little Margie’s Pop.

Richard Jaeckel in Come Back Little Sheba

R380 There is one other gorgeous Kit role. He’s basically “Jon Snow, the Roman Empire Version” in the mostly awful “Pompeii.” I know exactly what you mean though.

Blair Underwood in L.A. Law.

Tim Curry (and Barry Bostwick) in Rocky Horror.

Gabriel Byrne in Miller's Crossing. So knock-down handsome in that mournful, peculiarly Irish way.

His fellow Irishmen Daniel Day-Lewis and Paul McGann have a similar look, but Byrne in his prime was something else.

Bump

Colin Farrell in Alexander.

But seriously, Colin Farrell in In Bruges.

Not coincidentally, it's also his best acting role.

Now, now, R395, he was very easy on th eyes recently in The Beguiled.

And in Killing of A Sacred Deer.

Go figure, I like him more mature.

Besides, who knew he could be credible as a serious and cerebral surgeon ? But he was.

Gérard Philipe in La Ronde (Max Ophuls 1950). The dog is very elegant as well.

Gérard Philipe was always beautiful. It's true he didn't get to grow old . ..

Rupert Graves as Freddie in Room With A vView.

Kyle Chandler in Early Edition

You do the Lord's work, R401

Troy Donahue in A Summer Place. (Not my type but here he was at his apotheosis)

R402 Kyle Chandler (Gary Hobson) gets tomorrow's newspaper today. He's the one doing the Lord's work.

Roy Scheider in Marathon Man.

....

[quote]Mel Gibson - Lethal Weapon

I would say "The Year of Living Dangerously". The clothes, the haircut, the lean tautness of the face which revealed the fantastic bone structure.

The perfect balance of youthful glow and masculine maturity.

[quote]Tim Curry (and Barry Bostwick) in Rocky Horror.

Barry looked infinitely hotter in "Deceptions".

He was the hottest DILF ever in the “Deceptions” miniseries in the 80s, r408! I’d be hard pressed to pick btw the 70s BB and the 80s BB.

Tim Curry? Never.

Chris Meloni in the first six seasons of Law and Order:SVU.

David Duchovny

I had to stop myself!! I could have kept going. Tried to eliminate ones I'd seen listed already. Love this thread.

Dermot Mulroney - Bright Angel/Where the Day Takes You

Harrison Ford - The Conversation

Hart Boechner in Supergirl!

[quote]Harrison Ford - The Conversation

Bullshit!

Harrison as "Evil Indy" was the apotheosis of male fuckability.

R412 stated Rory Calhoun in Red House. After searching on google, I have to concur.

So, yeah, I need pictures, R412. Warren Beatty in Dobbie Gillis

David Hemmins was young, once. You would not believe it watching Gladiator, but here is a pic from Blow Up.

R412 - Hole Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me? M'kay

Christian Bale - The Mechanic?

Honey it's titled The Machinist and this is hot?

r415 Yes! The Red House is also a great, weird noir.

r416 Google image search "dobie gillis warren beatty" for a lot of images. There are also YouTube clips. I rented the entire DVD set years ago, he was in a few episodes of season one and I was amazed how hot he was so young and boyish.

r418 LOL! What a typo. Oops. Yes, it's HOLD Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me. An underrated comedy. It was one of the few films Max Parrish ever did. He was an 80's male model before that. The film also features a crazy performance by ex-porn star Andrea Naschak.

r419 Yes, oops. The Machinist. Hey... I like what I like. Maybe it's thin-spiration.

R400's post is the most inarguable in the thread.

Rick Rossovich, mid eighties from Top Gun to Roxanne

David HemminGs is an odd choice, perhaps as an example of jolie-laid. He'd never be on my *hot* list. Anyway.... here he is in "Barbarella."

Josh Hutcherson in “Escobar”.

I appreciate a number of Keanu's perfect appearances and think Matrix is the one where I can't stop looking at his face.

Hugh Grant in the first Bridget Jones.

Eddie Cibrian in whatever the hell this is from . . .

That’s from “But I’m a Cheerleader”

Harrison Ford has never apotheosized for me.

James Norton in Series 1 Of Happy Valley. Unfortunately he had to shave his head for S2.

Fassbender In “Slow West”.

Like Minds. Eddie Redmayne and Tom Sturridge

I thought Wyatt Russell in ‘22 Jump Street’ was HAF. Everything I’ve seen him in since he’s been meh.

Eh... You are right, R423 : HemminGs. That was a typo.

I agree with joli-laid for David as a young man. In Barbarella, he is ridiculous but so in on the joke !

"Meh" looks like his default setting, r433.

Harrison Ford has had several peak phases, think to daddy, from American Graffiti through What Lies Beneath.

I can't choose between Mads Mikkelsen in Hannibal

Or Mads Mikkelsen in King Arthur (with Hugh!)

[quote]Chris Meloni in the first six seasons of Law and Order:SVU.

Oh, FUCK yes.

DeNiro reached peak daddy fuckability in "Midnight Run".

[quote]Rick Rossovich, mid eighties from Top Gun to Roxanne

He looked amazing during that period but as the 80s came to a close he beefed up a bit and started showing the world the results. 1:03 is the zenith.

Michael Pitt and Louis Garrel in "The Dreamers"

It's so upsetting to see one's childhood crushes like Rick turn into wizened, pale old men. Why do some guys who are only in their late 50s already look like they're pushing 80?!

I'd still totally let him fuck me though.

Frank Langella in Dracula

John Wayne in The Big Trail

The Branagh thread reminded me of the one film for which he got buff - Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.

Brec

Breckin Meyer in “54”.

Hugh Jackman in Australia
