I think he’s very attractive (and so do thousands and thosands of other women) but…hell, I don’t understand why people are attracted to Hayden Christensen, who has many drooling fans, so I can’t slam her opinion now can I. > > Anyway, Giovanni Ribisi. I can’t quite explain it, other than his lovely lips 😃 \*\* Yes, but, I think it’s well known that he’s considered attractive by most, right? I don’t find most actressess/models attractive (I like dorky women myself), but if a man listed Jennifer Garner on this board, I would still be bewildered. That’s the point of this thread, it’s not about people listing celebrities that are already considered attractive, it’s about people that are attractive to some that aren’t generally viewed as beauties. I like this thread, it’s encouraging to know not everyone looks for the traditional things. ---

Billy Bob Thornton I even named my unattractive cat after him. ---

Barry Bostwick. What can I say, I loved “The Rocky Horror Picture Show”. He looked damn good in those fishnets. ---

I like Danny Bonaduce. He is not the “norm” but I like Ray Liotta as well. ( some things in the media note him as attractive so that is a tough call whether he belongs here or not) I have heard several people (friends in fact) express that David Duchovny is attractive. Not in my book! Oh and Kid Rock has the bad boy thing going on and he looks pretty good with a hat on. His age shows when it is off, long in the back and bald up front 😛 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by ceyjen \* > \*\*Malcolm MacDowell (when he was in “Star Trek: Generations”) > \*\* You should see him in his younger days, like **if…** or **A Clockwork Orange**. I also thought he looked cute in **Time After Time** , as the intellectual, yet naive HG Wells. I’ll also agree with those that have said Anthony Hopkins. ---

Norm McDonald? Unattractive? No, I don’t think so. Not with those dimples. I’ll give you Ryan Stiles, though. (And yes, he is cute in a geeky-big-Adam’s-apple kind of way.) ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Lumpy \* > \*\*My weirdest celebrity crush is Zoe Wanamaker as Quidditch coach Madam Hooch in _Harry Potter & the Sorcerer’s Stone_.

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Muck Muck \* > former Canadian PM John Turner Wasn’t John the guy who got into trouble in the '84 campaign by publicly patting Miss Canada on the ass? 😃 To answer the question, I’ll posit another Canadian: Sarah Polley. She’s hardly considered ugly, but she doesn’t get much babe respect, either. For my money (and I’m not that much of a blonde-fancier) she’s quite adorable and very intriguing in the bargain. ---

Mmmm lesse… Add me to the Jeff Goldblum list. Shame the link further up refused to work for me [whine]I wanna see Jeff topless[/end whine] I’ll do a Google on him later. I also really really like [Alan Rickman](http://www.geocities.com/severusnapefc/ss1.jpg), [Paul Gross](http://www.feden.com/jpg/bos13.jpg) and [Michael T Weiss](http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/73/039_40231.jpg).\* Mmmmm Half nude Weiss… Bad-boy Weiss… _mops up drool_ Sir Anthony Hopkins certainly makes it high up on my list as well. [sub]\*I don’t know how well thought of these three are in general. I have usually encountered people going WTF do you see in them?? though.[/sub] ---

Another vote for Duchovey. His features are quite ordinary, but there’s something about the way they are put together. I love David Hyde Pierce. Good actor too. Lou Diamond Phillips. That guy is a hotie. My all time celebrity crush is MONTEL WILLIAMS. I’ve had people fall off chairs when I tell them this, but that guy is just damn gorgeous.
