> [@asahi](#): > > I kinda have a boner for J-Lo Hey, we’re trying to move away from coarse sexualization of public figures. (And the general tendency to sexualize women.) And while we are still allowing threads like this one, this language is a little beyond our developing community standards. No warning, as the rules are changing and it’s a pretty fine line in light of the topic. ---

Good call on Rashida Jones. Tina Fey is too old for this list, having been born in 1970, but Amy Poehler still qualifies for a few more months. ---

Female Division: I came in to say KAte Beckinsale, already mentioned, who is stupendously beautiful and, to be honest, gets even more beautiful when she talks; she is both intelligent and hilariously funny. [Kate Beckinsale's Chocolate Buttocks Prank Story - The Graham Norton Show - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5lfjyiCAFQ) Male Division: Why be sexist and only talk about women? I was going to nominate Hugh Jackman but to my admitted surprise he’s actually 52. So I nominate 42-year-old Chris Pine, who like Beckinsale is both wildly attractive and good at sounding personable. Definitely the handsomest of the many Chrises. You know who’s underrated handsome? John Cho. Dude’s ripped now, too. God damn, his face looks like it was chiseled by a master artisan from granite.

There’s also Chris Pratt, Dwayne Johnson (I suppose some people must find him sexy), and Bradley Cooper- they’re all in their 40s. And in another few months, you’ll have Chris Evans too. On the female side, you have Morena Baccarin, Jennifer Garner, Reese Witherspoon, Charlize Theron, Rachel McAdams and Elizabeth Banks. All of whom I find very attractive… ---
