Do You Find Young Tom Hanks Attractive?

We know Tom is an incredible actor but he's never gotten a whole lot of attention for his looks. Personallym I always thought he had guy next door appeal especially in the early years of his career and a pretty decent body without a shirt. If you could travel in a time machine to the 80's, would you hit it?

He had a nice bubble butt back in the day.

by Anonymousreply 1February 12, 2023 8:29 PM

Yes.

And even as an older man, he is still attractive.

by Anonymousreply 2February 12, 2023 8:31 PM

No. He was never hawt.

Yes R1 and BDE as well.

No, never. In Bosom Buddies, Peter Scolari was the hot one.

by Anonymousreply 5February 12, 2023 8:33 PM

He's awful in bed. You can just tell.

by Anonymousreply 6February 12, 2023 8:36 PM

No, and he's not an incredible actor.

Nice body in the photo at OP.

Well the academy obviously feels differently R7

by Anonymousreply 9February 12, 2023 8:39 PM

Another vote for Scolari.

His Portuguese ancestry was really apparent when he way younger. If he was a bit shorter he'd look like an average guy you'd see on the streets of Lisbon.

Attractive in a boyish way (I love dark curly hair), but not "hot" or sexy. Maybe in some alternate universe where he never played characters like Forrest Gump and Mr. Rogers, but I just can't see him that way now.

Scolari did not age well R5, R10

He’s okay, but from that eighties era and type, he can’t hold a candle to Steve Guttenberg.

That’s hard to argue with, R14.

You lost me at incredible actor.

Well stay lost R16

by Anonymousreply 17February 12, 2023 9:19 PM

Well, yes, the man in that photo I would.

by Anonymousreply 18February 12, 2023 9:23 PM

He' such a potato face now but yeah I would've hit it when he was younger. Frisky energy like a puppy in his early rolls.

R13, well, he had been suffering from cancer in the last years of his life.

by Anonymousreply 20February 13, 2023 1:06 AM

He was cute for about five minutes, ca. "Splash".

by Anonymousreply 21February 13, 2023 1:10 AM

He was adorable when younger, no question.

by Anonymousreply 22February 13, 2023 11:34 AM

Niiiice chest at r14. Was Guttenberg short? He seems like a shorty.

Young hanks was cute. Up until Sleepless in Seattle. Then he was not cute, but definitely not unattractive.

by Anonymousreply 23February 13, 2023 12:01 PM

Splash is the first movie where he was passably attractive and for the most part retained it for the rest of the 80s. By the early 90s the cuteness started to wear off a little and he started to look hardened. In the movie "A League Of Their Own" he had a weathered look to his face that wasn't there earlier, but Tom was never an ugly man by any means.

r14 Goots was such a dreamboat.

by Anonymousreply 25February 13, 2023 10:31 PM

Scolari was my favourite in Bottom Buddies as well.

That red speedo is terrible.

by Anonymousreply 27February 13, 2023 10:34 PM

I’d hit it if I didn’t know that from 1995 on he’d only do movies that were Oscar bait.

Yes.

OP, I asked my parents to rent Turner & Hooch from Blockbuster more than once. And it wasn't for the dog.

Did this come out before PHILADELPHIA?

R33 - yes. Turner & Hooch (1989), Philadelphia (1993)

by Anonymousreply 34June 26, 2023 3:19 PM

Like the above poster, Turner & Hooch was part of my sexual awakening. One of those "friendly family films" of the period where sneak sex appeal took me by surprise while sitting on the couch next to my parents and I had to move a pillow over my realization

by Anonymousreply 35June 26, 2023 3:20 PM

He was cute and charming. Never sexy.

by Anonymousreply 36June 26, 2023 3:35 PM

I had an erotic dream about him 40 years ago.

by Anonymousreply 37June 26, 2023 5:05 PM

Well r34, now we know why Demme hired him 🤭🤭🤭

by Anonymousreply 38June 26, 2023 5:10 PM

Definitely fuckable in the 80s. Tall, nicely proportioned body. Cute face.

by Anonymousreply 39June 26, 2023 5:22 PM

Can't say that he is unattractive then, but...Peter Scolari.

Jerked off many times to Scolari's legs in shorts in the opening credits of 'Bosom Buddies.'

I've always thought Peter Scolari was the better actor of the two and should have had a bigger career than he had. He was brilliant in 'Newhart'; I can't remember thinking Hanks was brilliant in anything.

I prefer Colin.

I find Tom Hanks attractive usually, at any age, unless he is in a part where he had to grow lamb chops or something. I remember him in something like that and gasped.

Other than that, he's pretty cute.

by Anonymousreply 43June 26, 2023 6:13 PM

Definitely cute. Caught the movie "Big" recently and he's very charming in it.
