I agree. They’re way hot.  
Until you picture them in your bed, a come hither gleam in their eyes, their soggy, comma-like half-erect wrinkly dicks with the ballsack down to the knees pitifully poking their greyish heads out of the sheets and then it’s straight back into ewwww territory.

I might be thinking too much about these things. Especially for a straight guy.

Heh, originally my answer to this thread would have been David Tennant, but so many people think he’s hot nowadays that it seems like you’re almost in the minority if you don’t!

Anyway, bumping this thread to add Brendan Coyle, who plays [Mr. Bates](http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1986899968/nm0185354) on **Downton Abbey**.

That’s not so weird; Alfred Molina is an indisputably handsome guy, he’s just doughy and he carries the weight in his face. But he’s got charisma to burn.

Mine though, is this: I first saw Blythe Danner in _Meet the Parents_ and then _Meet the Fockers._ It was in the latter film that I first really noticed how sexy she was. So I watched _Prince of Tides_, which features a much younger Danner. Turns out I prefer the _older_ one. Even now, at age 69, I’d rather have the current Blythe Danner than the _Tides_-era one.
