Very striking. A Grace Jones for the 2010s? ---

very hard to choose. I’ll go with Chris Hemsworth and Chris Pine for the men; Keira Knightley, Scarlett Johansson for the women. ---

I said Emma Watson in my previous post for my female choice, but I forgot about Jenna Coleman (Clara in Doctor Who). She and Georgia Moffett (“The Doctor’s Daughter,” who’s also David Tennant’s wife and daughter of Fifth Doctor Peter Davison) are both adorable. ---

See the problem is, I think I know and then someone I have never heard of comes to my attention…such as Nazanin Boniadi of _Homeland_ or Alexandra Daddario of _True Detective_ (If you are at work make sure you have your filter on if you do a search for Alexandra) ---

Lots of women listed are great. I would also add [Samantha Barks.](http://www.blackfilm.com/read/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Les-Miserables-NY-Premiere-Samantha-Barks.jpg) For guys, I guess I would like to look like Alexander Skarsgard, Matt Bomer or Henry Cavill. ---

> [@jackdavinci](#): > > In terms of men, nothing recent comes to mind but I’ve always thought Shemar Moore and the black guy from Private Practice and How Stella Got her Groove Back are ridiculously good looking. Shemar Moore was my instant mental reply when I read the thread’s subject line. He is literally the only actor whose tv show (which I actually like anyway) I would probably watch even if I didn’t care for it just [to appreciate](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5xj26cHlw1qmvfx1o1_1280.jpg) his [time on-screen](http://images.buddytv.com/articles/criminal-minds-perv.jpg). Oh, and he does count as recent, since Criminal Minds is still going on. 🙂 ---

Jennifer Lawrence just turns my brain off when I see her. All highly evolved mental functions turn to static. For the dudes I have a healthy appreciation of Jon Hamm and Idris Elba. ---

Beat me to it, Interrobang! I came to this thread to express my surprise that no one had yet mentioned Idris Elba. Confirmed by my wife, but I could tell already he’s hot. A lady that hasn’t been mentioned yet…hmm…is Emma Roberts legal yet? ---

I don’t watch a lot of modern TV, I must admit. So the best I’ve seen recently is Cobie Smulders, aka Robin on _How I Met Your Mother_. For once, I actually bought the plotline where she was so beautiful that she was used to men doing everything for her. Usually, it seems that plotline is used to establish as beautiful someone who is not all that different from the rest of that cast. ---

I used to get crushes on celebrities all the time but now I just don’t. Maybe men in real life are more interesting to me than men on TV. It just seems like everytime I find a star attractive then I find out that they are incredibly dumb or they are cheaters or they are rude and mean. The only exception is Michael J Fox. I still find him attractive because of his personality. ---

Can’t believe I forgot Idris Elba. Watching True Blood, only up to season five at the moment, Alexander Skarsgard. The comment about Jennifer Lawrence causing higher evolved functions to turn to static… Skarsgard does that for me.
