John Taylor from Duran Duran is so gorgeous!

Gorgeous

Thank you, 1983.

I wish there were nudes of him

He doesn’t look that way now, fool

I shudder to think what time has done to him.

Speedo

I thought he was the sexiest member of Duran Duran followed by Nick Rhodes. John still looks good.

In the sun

Pool time

R6 YUK

R6, why?

The single most absolutely beautiful moment of ANY music video has to be during the New Moon On Monday video.

When Simon sings “breaking away with the beast of both worlds, a smile that you can’t deny” and they turn to John looking at the camera just so…

Mercy 🫠😍

There are two different versions of the video, tho, so one of those is the one.

In 2016:

2022...looks like some kind of eye lift.

He’s always had small, squinty eyes, made worse by the fact he was wearing contacts before they were much used. Probably the hard glass ones back in the day.

He still looks great. Was disappointed in his biography tho. Not enough dish and info.

John Taylor and Roger Taylor are still goodlooking men. I never thought Simon, Nick, and Andy were anything special lookswise.

Actually, I have to say he looks okay for 64 and he has more hair than I do (66) but he doesn't look that great. In his youth I thought he was great-looking. And except for the hair streaks or whatever, relatively natural. Not a pretty-boy, not a macho guy. A regular guy who was nonetheless gorgeous.

Oh, how I did love John Taylor back in the day. Somehow he managed to carry off the manlite/make up thing without looking ridiculous. I do recall watching the Duran Duran Behind The Music and he seemed a bit...dim.

Roger was definitely the best-looking one for me. He is so hot in the video where gets caught up in the fishing net.

John Taylor had a perfect body too.

They were surprisingly good looking for Englishmen at the time.

R19 - absolutely - Roger was the hottest. John Taylor had a good face - but as it's glaringly obvious in the pics above, no body or muscle tone at all. Almost unfuckable in full body shots.

I felt bad for Andy Taylor who was just average looking - but he was surrounded by very good looking English guys, which is a feat on its own.

Agree with R21 - how they got 4 great looking English men together in one band was a million to one odds.

Simo0n Le Bon did sing a bit flat, though.

[quote]Roger was definitely the best-looking one for me.

Funny that both Queen and Duran Duran had cute, short drummers named Roger Taylor.

R23 - A lot of things are forgiven if you look good and can entertain a crowd.

You mean "WAS".

I love(d) his body. I like a slim body like that. Nice skin, lean, tall. Very pretty.

John Taylor now. At least he still has hair and did not get fat.

There was a gay named Brian in my high school who looked just like him. Time has been cruel to him too.

I don't like hairy guys and gym bodies are sometimes nice (if the guy looks fit and not musclebound) but a lot of guys don't need them.

"At least he still has hair and did not get fat."... lowered entry-level requirements😆

Still in great shape today. The gym is his friend.

R31 Ugh, no. Liked his young body, but not that!

R31, I can tell that he still works out religiously

In OP's pic he looks like Swedish tennis star Stefan Edberg, my big boyhood crush. Never realized they look so similar. Stefan had a far better bod though...

Meh. Scrawny twink.

Pass.

R31 - that's exactly how I thought his body would age - no muscle and skin tone, just drooping and packing on the weight around the middle.

You CAN fuck a face, but I'd have to turn the lights off for the rest.

It's not like he doesn't have any money. There's no reason to look like that - even when he was young. Blech.

His wife is 10 years older than him. She started Juicy Couture

Amateur.

He had a cute face but his body was gross. No young pop star today would be allowed to have a body like that.

My uncle used to have a Duran Duran poster on his wall when I was kid, like 7 or 8 years old. I honestly believe John Taylor was my first crush. I didn’t even know what I was feeling looking at that poster but I really liked looking at it.

They just played Sanremo festival too. It was fun watching. I can’t believe they are pushing 70!

R40 - so the guy in the middle at the bottom did nothing for you?

How it's done Johnny..

As an adult yes. As an 8 yo boy, no.

Andy Taylor has been suffering from stage four metastatic prostate cancer for several years.

Which parts of John Taylor's body don't they like?

R39, why gross?

R46 - skinny fat isn't attractive - particularly on men.

[quote] There's no reason to look like that - even when he was young. Blech.

He doesn't need a gym body, he's straight.

His body wasn't gross. You people are wierd.

I love his type of body.

Rare shot

Another rare shot

Weird chin

Simon Le Bon damn near died from a gross parasite in the water during the Rio shoot. He nearly drown on the spinning water wheel on the Wild Boys shoot and then almost drown when his boat sank.

ed

It wasn't Rio, it was Hungry Like the Wolf. They all got parasites

He's still so handsome

He needs to stop coloring his hair.

Looks like Rob Lowe

Man, I never get tired of the song OR the video for Hungry Like the Wolf. It just is everything! Such a sexy, rocking song!

[quote][R46] - skinny fat isn't attractive - particularly on men.

Speak for yourself R47, some of us like that.

OP, that's a 40-year-old photo.

Shirtless photo of Roger.

[quote] I can’t believe they are pushing 70!

So young!!

Were any Duran Duran members not straight?

Not that we’ve ever been made aware, R65.

All are married or were married at some point. I think John is the only one with no bio kids.

Which is a shame, his beautiful genes 🧬 will not be passed along. 🙁

R66, I thought that was John's biological kid

I know Nick Rhodes was married for 8 years to an heiress, and has a kid, and has had other heterosexual relationships, but it's hard to believe he's straight.

By the way, a pink tux, back then, was not an everyday thing.

From the looks of it, if Nick was 22 years old in today's world, he would already have breasts and a shaved Adam's apple.

He's just theatrical...

John has a 32 year old daughter named Atlanta from his short chaotic marriage to Amanda de Cadanet. She is the spitting image of Amanda. Hard to see any of her dad in there.

[Quote] Thank you, 1983.

Let us close our eyes

Outside their lives go on much faster

Oh, we won't give in

We'll keep living

in the past

He has a great chest

Was gorgeous. You get it, WAS!

He's still handsome

Yeah, for a vampire.

R76, why vampire?

Are people like r74 really dragging a 64 year old man because he doesn’t like the same as he did forty years ago? He is an attractive 64 year old nan.

[quote]Were any Duran Duran members not straight?

Warren Cuccurrullo, the American who replaced Andy Taylor after he departed in the mid '80s, was bi I think.

At any rate, he posed fully nude for a Brazilian gay magazine and looked really good.

Here's the full spread:

I don’t care what anyone says; Rhodes is not straight. He’s also quite prissy.

Nowhere near as hot as D'Angelo in his late 1990s prime.

YouTube search: D'Angelo Untitled

This controversial and exquisitely shot video will blow your load. Apologies for being unable to supply the link directly.

[quote]I don’t care what anyone says; Rhodes is not straight. He’s also quite prissy.

It's been years since I watched it, but I think on the Behind The Music, he was depicted as quite the little groupie horn dog, shocking since likely most everyone assumed he was gay

Then it must be true!

Gurl it's 2025.

I wonder what sorts of seedy, scandalous stuff would come out now about a band like this. Back in the day most really personal, gossipy stuff was kept under wraps, both to protect the band and the members. I know there probably were things that we as young girls couldn’t understand about this very adult world, but now? With today’s hyper media focus on all things celebrity?

I wonder what sorts of things were edited from that epic documentary they did whilst on tour and when they ruled the pop world. It was kept relatively clean and sanitized for our protection.

Knowing everyone's business, and letting everyone else know your business, is a fairly recent phenomenon.

I always thought that Simon was gorgeous. The happiest, most manly of the group.

The girl that cut my hair used to tell me I looked like Simon. I thought he was not one of the best looking members. It bugged me. Where were you R87 when I needed you?

Old...

They all still have hair.

John has a daughter from his marriage with Amanda De Cadanet she’s gotta be 30 or so

OMG! She’s kind of beautiful 😮

A little trashy looking. I wonder if those lips are natural, or the rest of her face, for that matter. 🤔

Roger was the hottest and has aged the best

Was there an ex-member who did hardcore porn?

R90 - oh bless your heart. You think that's all their hair?

R94, I think you’re thinking of Warren Cuccurrullo mentioned at R79.

[quote] I always thought that Simon was gorgeous. The happiest, most manly of the group.

When I was a kid Jeremy Miller of Growing Pains reminded me of Simon.

I liked Nick and John because they were the lest manly of the group.

R97 - what ever happened to that kid on the left?

[quote] what ever happened to that kid on the left?

I'm not certain, but it is rumored his career sank.

Did John Taylor ever work out?

John Taylor was handsome enough, but I was always partial to the handsome Roger Taylor.

John Taylor's body was meh, and he never saw the inside of a gym in his life.

E38 Not fair comparing Morten Harket to any other musician. He looked like a demi-god.

John Taylor was super handsome but always had the physique of a clam

What the fuck does that mean, R103???

R95 In their case, it appears to be.

[quote] Amanda De Cadanet

Sounds like a character on Dynasty

Can anyone find even 1 picture of him where he's in shape?

My ex bf looks like him

Lucky you, R108.

Simon and Yasmin le Bon look pretty good too. How is she 60 years old?

John Taylor is a little older than I am. Unfortunately, neither of us look as good now as we did then. He looked better than me in those days, not so much now.

Terrible actor.

R112, he never acted

He actually was in a couple of independent movies was absolutely terrible.

Unless you count the "A View to a Kill" music video

With his friend Susanna Hoffs:

Sugartown (1999)

Does he have cheek implants? Looks fake

Morten harket married a beauty queen.... divorce yet?

He was also in that one episode of Miami Vice. He looked drunk or stoned or something.

my friend has hung out with Simon Le Bon a couple of times in NYC years ago. He is very cool and real and down to earth...not snobby, no attitude...

Never thought any of the DD guys were all that handsome. I can see why John was a favorite of Durannie girls and a few gay boys. Cute in that Bowie/Harry Styles sort of way.

I was lusting after hairy little Jon Moss at the time, and then I wanted Peter Gabriel's sledgehammer ramming in me, so I guess I had odd tastes for a teenaged 80s gay.

You had GOOD taste, R122!

My own long-standing1980s pop crush was Dr Robert of The Blow Monkeys:

Did John Taylor ever work out?

All the Duran members still look good. The famously non-related three Taylor members all had sharp cheekbones. Drummer Roger was gorgeous too.

Were Americans aware of Brit boy band Curiosity Killed the Cat?

Duran Duran are still making great music.

I was, r126, you misfit.

R126 yessss, I bought their cd, but the guy could barely sing....I think the hit song was something about the pigeons

He’s got a Corey Haim thing going in OP’s photo.

All of the Duran Duran autobiographies I've read have very good. They're dishy, self deprecating and likeable guys
