Hell yeah! A man doesn’t have to be classically handsome to be attractive.

Thank god. I kept thinking, there is not one attractive feature on that man-how could anyone claim him as sexy?

I need to get out more. Thanks. 🙂  
I do find the new Bond guy good looking, but not stunning. I’d have to see the movie to comment on his lithe sexy panache…

Well, no, I’m not trying to see him as an elf, but from the little I know about the Golden Compass (which I just learned by typing “Lord Asriel” into Wikipedia), his character sounds pretty elf-like. I can see what you mean, though. I’m not into those kinds of beards, but shave it off (like in the Bond films) and he’s a pretty good-lookin’ dude to me.

To me he’s the second hottest Bond, Connery is by far my favorite when it comes to sex appeal…yummy!

Just curious: why do we need to declare our gender and sexual orientation to answer this question?

I just Googled him (using Google’s Images link) and there is a _nekkid_ picture of him that I cannot click on b/c I’m at work!!!

Somebody report back!

AMEN. Daniel Craig is ruggedly sexy and very masculine, and he doesn’t need to be classically handsome to pull it off. He’s got _it_, baby. I didn’t get what the big deal was about him either until I saw him in _Infamous_.

As an aside, my friend and I watched _Hellboy II_ recently, and agreed we’d take Ron Perlman with a tail over those pretty-boys on the CW anyday.

He’s done the nekkid thing in a couple movies. I can report there is no reason why he shouldn’t.

That’s how I see him, too. Not attractive in the pretty sense, but pretty men don’t do a lot for me.

He was Asriel? :eek: then yes, yes, yes–he is hot, hot hot! Ooh… it’s warm over here now…  
We declare our sexual orientation just because. Got something to hide? :dubious:

Handsome? No not really.

But he has striking blue eyes, which I find very appealing. Not to mention the Adonis-like body. ([SHOULDERS](http://l.yimg.com/img.movies.yahoo.com/ymv/us/img/hv/photo/movie_pix/mgm/casino_royale/daniel_craig/royale17.jpg).)

So yes, I find him to be all kinds of attractive. I believe the precise, scientific phrase is: mrrrrrowrr.

But then, people keep saying that [Milo Ventimiglia](http://seat42f.com/site/images/stories/tvshows/Heroes/Season3/Promo/milo-ventimiglia-peter-petrelli-heroes.jpg) is attractive, and he doesn’t do a damn thing for me.

Not at all. I don’t find it good or bad to declare orientation or gender, just curious why it’s done.

In **Orual’s** photo link it’s the “happy trail” at the naval (actually his is more like a happy road) that really makes me purr. I wanna see where it leads, but I’m happy and content just imagining it!

Not just “yes,” but “Hell, yes!”

With those eyes, the rest of him could look like Jabba the Hutt, and he’d still be attractive. Add in the six-pack abs, and he’s amazingly hot.

He moves really well.  
So, in pictures or in scenes where he’s not running across the screen, he’s kind of meh. He’s a lot better in scenes where he is running around and jumping off of things.

I think he has kind of an ugly face, but an ultra-super-fine body.

Same for Brad Pitt.

I have to admit the elf thing confuses me.

When I think “elf” I think of someone slender with delicate, feminine features - like Orlando Bloom. The exact opposite of the rugged, muscle-bound Craig.
