Pretty Boys The Third.

As I said in the other thread, I've been having a lousy week. So what better way to cheer me up than staring at good-looking, sexy men. (I know, I'm shallow, so sue me.)

This is a new thread, since the second part of the old one is about five years old... and has pictures of Heath Ledger, which is painful. :(

Anyway, last night a friend came over and we were watching Steven Moffat's "Jekyll" on DVD. That James Nesbitt is such a sexy man:



P.S.: Will someone (@Choreocrat?) please get me out of my ignorance? James is Irish, but in Jekyll he uses a Scottish accent, right? It's soooooooooo sexy either way, but I want to be sure!

Jaime!

How about some Jon Snow?

Taylor Kitsch, the guy from the current film version of Edgar Rice Burrough's John Carter.

The guys from Supernatural, 'cause I see them everyday in my Tumblr feed and that's not a bad thing at all... ;)

Misha Collins


Jensen Ackles


Jared Padalecki

C'mon people--gimme a break! I'm supposed to be working, NOT drooling over pretty boys.

*secretly hoping they post more soon*

1 - I still haven't seen it, so I don't know! I shall have to remedy that!

Andrew Lincoln. I'm so sad that The Walking Dead is over and I'll have to wait until next season... :( So in the meantime, he's here in this video speaking about the part in the early days, with his very lovely British accent (not that he doesn't sound sexy speaking like a Southern man in TWD...)

I couldn't decide which picture was better, I know you understand... ;D

Mark Sheppard doesn't get cast all the time *just* because he's a good actor:

#9 IMDb is evil. It doesn't let you hotlink. But yeah, I agree on Mark. He's gorgeous!

Can I put in a request list? :D

10 - Does that mean it's not showing? I guess I'll have to put another one.

#9 - Nooooooooooo! He's evil!

My highly unconventional choice:

And a good one Severn!

I think I'm used to him being clean all the time now. ; )

#11 Of course. :D

#12 And I thank you for that.

#13 Precisely. ;)

#14 That man is... sexiness in a tightly wrapped package.

#14 - I do love that man!

#8 - There are a few pretty faces on The Walking Dead. If I were 30 years younger I'd probably have a thing for Glenn - Steven Yeun:



And I've developed quite a bit of respect, and maybe a little bit of a 'thang' for Daryl, AKA Norman Reedus:

Ohh yes! I love Glenn. For me, he's the best character.

I really dislike Shane, such an annoying character, but he's also a sexy man:



And Daryl is the perfect model of the silent bad boy type.

I adore this guy in Person of Interest. Sexy voice as well as looks.

#19 - I liked him better with hair.

#20 - OOOOH! Who dat?

#21 Jim Calviezel

Oh. Only thing I know him from is you-know-what, which I never actually saw. LOL

He's currently staring in Person of Interest, Thursday nights on CBS I think.

Nice, Jim Calviezel is aging well. :) I like to see some gray hair on here, not so fond of oogling boys who might be younger than my sons! :D

Here you go, MrsLee.

#21 Really? I liked him better *sans* hair... Then again, I think I have a problem: I've noticed lately that I have a trend of liking men with shaved heads/completely bald. Manly men with good bone structure, great noses (#19 has such an imposing nose, doesn't he?), and a shaved head to really make those features stand out. ;D

#27 - I thought the lack of hair brought too much of my attention to those ears... I am not into large ears. I like most bald guys, too. I hate comb-overs and wraps. *shudder*

26 - Awww, you take care of me so well! :)

26 - Is that Pierce Brosnan at the bottom? Wow! He's looking good!

Don't recognize the first guy though. Actually, I don't recognize a lot of the men on this thread. Probably comes of not having cable.

#30 - That's whats-his-face who played Gil Grissom on CSI. (I had to Google him. He's William Petersen.)

>30 sandragon: Yep, sure is. He's looking fiiiine.

I have kept my eye on Mr. Brosnan since he starred in Remington Steele. Pretty man.

ETA: I forgot that I have to refresh this page for all the pictures to load. For some reason they don't the first click in, so all I saw originally was Mr. Goldblum, who is also very fine.

I can just remember Remington Steele. I've only ever watched an episode or two. But I remember enjoying how Brosnan and the female lead interacted with each other.

I remembered one more of my favorites:

>36 UnrulySun: Okay, the middle guy looks familiar. Who is he?

My 4 are Jude Law, David Boreanaz, Tyson Beckford, and Joshua Jackson.

David Boreanaz played in Buffy, Angel, some really bad movies, and is currently on Bones.

Lee Pace, from Wonderfalls & Pushing Daisies. And I just learned from Wikipedia that he's been cast to play Thranduil in The Hobbit. :D

Doesn't he look like he would be a good James Bond in about ten years?

Tyron Leitso, also from Wonderfalls.


Jake Weber, from Medium.


And the wonderful Tim Roth, from... everything. :p


For some reason, those last two always go together in my mind. Must be because they're both English. They do have a slight resemblance, don't they?

Ah yes... I need to see more pretty faces, it's been a rough couple of days... *sigh*

Gregory Peck:


Grandson of Gregory Peck:

Oh his grandson is handsome! Is he an actor also?

Yeah, he's on some TV show I've never seen. I saw his picture because he's been cast in the pilot for a new show on CW.

#41 ~~ If he's who I think he is, he was on the American version of "Ugly Betty," as her boyfriend for a while.

I'm on the iPad, which makes posting pics difficult. Could I request some Christian Bale and Cillian Murphy?

here you go -

Oooh, thank you!

For Dayna:

every time I think of Cillian I think of Emma -

1 Will someone please get me out of my ignorance? James is Irish, but in Jekyll he uses a Scottish accent, right?

I haven't seen Jekyll, but Nesbitt is from country Antrim, Northern Ireland, so his native Ulster accent is a lot closer to a Scottish one than to that of the southern counties of Ireland.

#50 Thank you! That had been bothering me for a while... :)

I have to say I'm quite fond of Arthur Darvill, a.k.a Rory from Doctor Who. I even named one of my cats after him :)



I should add that a young single friend of mine recently said she had a revelation - she used to be looking for her Doctor, but she suddenly realized that what she really wants in a partner is a Rory - loyal, steadfast, and there when you need him.

Love Rory!

Detouring back to bald men - I have a thing for the older but still gorgeous Terry O'Quinn.
He has those amazing eyes and a lovely smile but I prefer the slightly more serious photos.

#tardis - I agree with your friend - Rory is attractive because of those things.

#54 He's such a handsome man. And when he dresses up, he's sooooo stylish, isn't he?


The other day a (girl) friend of mine & I went to see Tom Hardy's latest movie -- a romantic comedy thing that it's not usually our style -- just because of the eye candy. It's been a rough month for both, so eye candy is more than welcome...



Chris Pine was also in the movie, although he's just too pretty for my taste... :P

I'm a fool for the ones with curly dark hair!

What? Dashing older men in formal wear? OK.

I am sooo enjoying this thread. :)

As a hetero male, after looking through these images I must admit that I would be incapable of predicting which men appear attractive to women.

This is good news for those men who think they have no chance of success.

#59 May the odds be ever in your favor!

#59 @darrow
I've realized as I've gotten older (less young? whatever, hey, I'm only 41!), that my "type" is pretty much non-existent. :) I've liked men with hair and without (a man with a shaved head can be super sexy if he has the right bone structure), bearded and beardless, with all shades of eye and hair color, etc.

You know what? I've discovered that it's the personality that attracts me, as much clichéd as that may sound. :P And yes, you can perceive that personality in a photograph... call it confidence, maybe, je-ne-sais-quoi... And as we say here "para los gustos, los colores" (to each their own). ;)

Impressive skills D9. I don't think men can perceive personality from photos of women. We are probably looking for different attributes. This is unfortunate.

#60 LOL. Catch phrase of the year.

#62 - "We are probably looking for different attributes."
:o) An understatement, I daresay!

#57 - Once again we have similar tastes. (Though I have no idea who either of them are.)

Diito what Delirium said in #61. There isn't much rhyme or reason to my tastes. At least not much that I can discern.

I'm a sucker for a man with twinkling eyes. Hairless, hairy, short, tall, lean, rotund, none of that matters if he has twinkling eyes!

Sometimes it works out well, but sometimes it doesn't. That's why I say I'm a "sucker" for twinkling eyes. I simpy cannot resist them.

#63 Heh :P

@darrow I don't know, maybe "personality" is too much of a stretch. @millhold said it better, I guess: "twinkling eyes," that certain something in the picture (the smile, the eyes, the "attitude") besides the good looks.

#57
Damn! (sorry) How did I miss those pictures? Who's the first one? The second one was recently in Doctor Who, right?

Isn't that Hugh Bonneville, aka Lord Grantham?

Time for some Viggo.

Ahhh, Viggo.


and more:

Very difficult to find one of him with his shirt ON! ;o)

> Darrow, no one has said it, but I will! I just looked at your profile, and I think - at least from your photo - that you certainly should be called cute (at the very least). Personality does show through, I think.

I do have a physical type that I ordinarily find attractive; but personality outweighs physicality. A man who is built like I like but is a jerk, is far less attractive than a man who has the personality. A wild-card feature for me also, is when someone is really, really good at doing something. That will turn me on, even if he is not particularly attractive. I remember once, I was at an international festival and they had a cultural performance stage. One act was a group exhibiting Flamenco Dance. One of the fellows was - just in terms of looks - actually fairly homely. But he was so fantastic at Flamenco, that by the time the song ended I was practically drooling.

Please, may I request some Ryan Gosling and Matt Smith?

#70 - Having had the pleasure of meeting @darrow in person, I have to say he is beyond cute and downright handsome. :o)

As Mrs Bookworm doesn't really use LT herself, I can't get her to post a picture of me looking cute. ?8-)

#70,71 OMG. That is certainly not what I was fishing for. *blushes*

Well, you wandered into the pretty boys thread, with a bunch of rabid females...

hehehehe :P

#57 - Richard Armitage - oooh - palpitations.

Twinkling eyes, yes. Smoldering twinkling eyes, hmmmmmmm, YES!

My personal favorite eye candy.

#57 is Richard Armitage in North and South, then yes, Hugh Bonneville with a beard, probably getting ready to play Captain Avery in Dr Who.

My pet theory on attraction is that most of the physical things that might make one attractive, for example, a beard, broad chest, charming smile, etc., are not necessarily the things that will make them attractive per se, but they'll be the things that take someone attractive and make them even more so.

Say you like a man on horseback (not me in this case). You're probably not going to jump any man who gets on the back of a horse. If you do, it's probably going to be classified as a full-blown fetish. But an otherwise attractive man who gets on a horse suddenly jumps a few levels in the "OMGyesplease" stakes. Once they start ticking a few boxes, adding one more is likely to put them over the line.

Love the photos of the guys from The Walking Dead. The acting is not great, the story line is dragging, but I'm crazy about the series!

#18 Clam - There are quite a few Daryl types around my little town. Some even have the compound bow. :)

#79 - We have some in New England too, believe it or not. They usually have more fingers than teeth, though. :o/

#80 - LOL!! I know exactly what you are talking about!

Oh, wow, what a lovely thread. That pic of Kit Harington is great, but I'm also partial to the King in the North, Richard Madden.

Also, Madden's Scottish brogue is to die for!

I wonder if we will all be posting pictures of Dwarves after the Hobbit film come out NINE months from now. :)

I think we already have as Richard Armitage is Thorin Oakenshield!!
:)

Neil deGrasse Tyson used to sport some pretty groovy sideburns.

how about some Bradley Cooper? sorry I don't know how to post pictures : (

#84, 85 And also, Lee Pace, who's slated to play an elf. :P

#86 Grooooovy!

#87 Here you go ;)

Well, NGT is a rock star. ;)

#86 Nice guns, too. I heart him so much.

Johnny deserves a spot. :)

My favorite Mr. Darcy -

How's about this ridiculously photogenic guy?



You're all a little bit cooler now. You're welcome. ;)

#86 - Holy sheet! I know I've seen that before but it's always good to see again. LOL

#82 - Yes, Rob is very yummy.

Yes, he's ridiculously young for me, but he's still one of the things that makes The Office even more of a pleasure to watch.

#93. Oh my. Tumblr has had a blast these days with that meme. Some of the efforts are very funny. And the guy, apart from being ridiculously photogenic, is also ridiculously nice! He opened his own Twitter and got on board, thanking everyone and saying he's just a guy, not a superstar. Awww...

#94 I adore John Krazinsky. Even though I find Steve Carrell funny, I don't think I'd be much inclined to watch The Office if John wasn't there... *sigh*

#95 - Yup. I love beautiful men who aren't afraid to be a bit goofy. :o)

Beautiful men who aren't afraid to be goofy...oh yeah, two of the best -



and

No words...

#97 - Yup. Love them both. :o)

Here's another. Though I don't think we see enough of him any more.

oh I just found this and woah. What a total package of hotness he was in the day.

#97 ~~ Wooohoooo!!

Just look at those twinkling eyes!!!!

I'm back on my grey haired men. Just saw this photo of Billy Connelly (Dain in The Hobbit), and got all hot and bothered.

Dunno if this will work . . . But I've always had a thing for this guy. Nice to see him onscreen again.

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-u2N90x_Tj6k/TX9o8Po_IEI/AAAAAAAAAcY/4i_mxLAQ-TU/s400/U...

Uncle Deadly? Sweet. My favorite muppet.

I just finished watching The Soloist and felt inclined to post this image of Nelsan Ellis (Lafayette in True Blood; he has a minor role in this film):



Such elegance. I love his voice and the way he carries himself.

And well, also the protagonist of The Soloist, Mr. RDJ himself:



#98 & #99 Two of my favorites! Yeah, where has Brendan Fraser been hiding lately?

#102 Dear lord! I love Wayne Coyne! Thank youuuu!!

#103 Another fine specimen. ;)

Oh, and speaking about silly men and The Hobbit...

OK, only ONCE before in this thread?!



Not to mention

Love me some Guy, too.

#107 - Excellent post!

#109 - Two things we have in common? ;-)

Time to resurrect this thread because I noticed one of the Winchester brothers is now missing from Delerium9's Supernatural pics.

Thanks for reviving this thread. Having BAD week in work and going back thru this thread has cheered me up nicely.
I can't post pictures at the moment but if anyone wants to toodle over to IMDB and look at the gorgeous Tom Hiddleston with me they can.

You mean Loki? LOL (My daughter has a 'thang' for him.)

I don't typically go for young and blonde but Warren Kole is pretty good-looking!

Changed my browser from Firefox to Google Chrome, now I can't see photos in #111 and 114. :( Not sure what to do about it. On Firefox, if I hit "refresh" I could usually see them, but it's not working now.

#115 - is #111 better now?

I don't see #114 either.

Hmmm, it's not showing for me now either. Maybe they broke the hotlink. But if you right-click and hit "view in new tab" you can see the whole gallery. :)

#113 -that's him. The wicked Loki. Yum. I don't normally go for curly hair either but he's definitely got something. Praps it's the brains as well as brawn - a first from Cambridge after all.
Shame he's nearly (but not quite)young enough to be my son). But hey this is a fantasy lust thread isn't it?

#116 - Yes, thank you!

Bumping cos it's been a tough day.

I could just eat him all up, I could.

121- I guess Google Chrome is blocking that image, I can't see it. :(

#122--Eric Bana, if you want to do a bit of your own Googling. And goggling.

I can't see it either. :o( But I do like him. :o)

Here's Seth MacFarlane. I think he's yummy, too.

Hmm, can't see Seth either. *sigh*

I forgot that Fred Savage is my age, and he *gulp* grew up.

#125 - I saw clearly until I hit refresh. }:o(
Saved it to my gallery.

#126 - The Wonder Years was one of the best shows ever, and he's still adorable!

Now I see Seth. :)

Aw, Fred Savage is still darling.

What's WRONG with me? I can't think if anyone I want to trouble with to post their picture. Sigh.

Oh, here's one, from the American TV series "Life on Mars"
Jason O'Mara

:o(
He's invisible, MrsLee.

Here's a few of Misha Collins from Supernatural. (My kind of angel.)

Couldn't figure out how to post the actual picture, but I love Lee Ingleby

129 - Is he still invisible? Because I see him. I am mystified by it all, because GoogleChrome changed the way the properties show, or at least it is different (than? from?) Firefox. Too bad I don't really understand what I'm doing, I'm only repeating stuff I've been told to do by more learned people.

Anyway, look him up in images, he's worth it!

132 - I still can't see him. I will google him after I have more caffeine. :o)

or https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQiRkUB7WbwpBGLG9tPezk3QG7d...

donnao - Why such frowny faces? LOL

You'd think someone just told them something in very poor taste.

I like my men serious. And, I couldn't find any photos of them in character where they were smiling.

Here's a really nice smiling face: http://ts2.mm.bing.net/th?id=I.4776751692252445&pid=15.1

Hobbits, anyone? His name is Aidan Turner, in case you're interested.

Nothing like hot dwarves, elves and/or hobbits to make one's day. :o)

He's lovely for sure.

Isn't that the guy in Being Human? I didn't realize he was going to be a hobbit!

Wow, such a lovely cast.
