Nino Castelnuovo is one of the most handsome men to have ever lived.

I liked Roch Voisine when I lived in Paris. French-Canadian, though. (always been some rumors that he's gay as well, despite the marriage)

R3 - that's not the best pic of Alain Delon. He was unbelievably handsome.

Correct but he is ‘’stress-aging’’ and he’s not as pretty-Trumps fault.

Benoit Magimel really did it for me in "The Piano Teacher", and I don't typically gravitate toward blue-eyed blonds. He was so hot in that movie. The sexual tension between him and Isabelle Huppert was off the charts. It was so intense that I remember almost getting a hard-on during the scene where he confronts/makes out with her in the bathroom. I've never had that reaction to a hetero sex scene in any film before or since. Unfortunately, he hasn't aged well.

Jean-Louis Trintignant. Maybe we're moving from "heartthrob" to "nice to look at"; but I've always liked young Trintignant's looks. Like Gélin above, he was a most accomplished and simpatico actor.

The French like their heart-throbs pretty rough around the edges. Vincent Lindon, Gerard Depardieu, and Eric Cantona.

Pretty boys end up on "Emily in Paris.'

Jean-Paul Vignon. He was a famous French crooner who went nude for Playgirl magazine in 1974. He was a regular on the Ed Sullivan and Merv Griffin shows, sang at a Miss Universe pageant, and headlined his own show in Las Vegas.

Gays, Nino Castelnuovo was Italian.

He was born in Italy. He died in Italy. He did not really speak French, despite starring in The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, for which he (like the rest of the cast) was dubbed, and almost his entire filmography is Italian.

He was spectacular, though.

R38 Yves was a beautiful man. I swear I've seen a version this photo below where his cock was on full display, but maybe I'm imagining it. I couldn't find it on the internet.
