But, the one that I really, really don't get is George George Clooney. Other actors who look like him always play Middle Eastern terrorists.

curious as to the ages of those who don't label George Clooney as hot . . .

I love his salt and pepper hair, btw.

51- So maybe it's generational?

No, I am in my mid 40s. I find him completely average and below average looking. It is some throw back to Clarke Gable generation of actors. My grandma might have found him good looking. Plus, which movie he has that is actually really, really good? Gravity maybe? I couldn't get past first 10 minutes. And I like Sandra Bullock.

NP here. I don't crush on Clooney (though I do think he's standard-1940s-Hollywood handsome, so I get the Clark Gable reference). But I do think he's a very good actor when in the right roles and he's been in some excellent movies. Check out "Michael Clayton," "Goodnight and Good Luck," "Three Kings," and "Up in the Air." He's also been good in goofy comedies like "O Brother, Where Art Thou" where he plays on the whole Clark Gable image.

It's a family joke with us that we cannot be bothered to tell which ubiquitous Ryan is which -- Gosling? Reynolds? One was funny on Colbert....Wait, which was it?

My teen DD jokes about the many Chris actors--Evans, Pratt, Hemsworth, Pine--and says it seems to be a new rule that handsome leading men must be named either Chris or Ryan. But we agree that only one is worthy of being Thor.

Finally someone who agrees with me! Christ Hemsworth all the way! Liam looks like Mickey Mouse.

Same. The only reason that many is famous is because Miley Cyrus needed to buy her boyfriend back in her Disney days. Not a patch on his brother

And to think Liam was almost cast as Thor! Apparently he was almost 99% cast in the role, and then they went back to Chris who was out of the running for a role for months and heard nothing. Makes you wonder if they realized that not only Liam can't act, he also isn't God like! Which Chris is, and funny! One reason I like Thor movies is that there are some funny scenes.

A friend of mine met him once, she was working as a server in a restaurant and waited on him. Says he is even more gorgeous in person, she could barely form complete sentences.

She was pretty but she has mutliated herself and definitely is no longer attractive.

Totally agree about Gwyneth and would add I also don't understand why anyone would take her health advice when she looks old and has early onset osteoporosis (no doubt due in part to her crazy diet!)

Agree about Benedict Cumberbatch. Scarlett is a mystery to me because I think she is so beautiful yet everyone I know thinks she is nothing special.

Yes! Benedict Cumber-whatever! He seems like an awesome guy with a great personality but I don't see the sex appeal at all.

There is a whole SNL skit which is a game show entitled "Is Benedict Cumberbatch Hot?" Pretty funny. He is charming in it.

To all those who don't get Ryan Gosling - did you see him in "Crazy, Stupid, Love?"

Nope. Don't need to. I don't think he's ugly, but he looks completely ordinary. His face literally looks like 10 people you can find walking around on an ordinary day out and about.

He has weird no lips like long face, where his whole face kind of melts together. But, he can act. Speaking of SNL, there is so many funny skits with Chris Hemsworth on SNL. He seems best at making fun on himself. That I find attractive, and the rest...

Agreed. And Gwyneth is only famous because of her famous parents. Someone posted on here a few months ago that they saw her in person and were SHOCKED by how plain she looked. She's not a pretty lady

It's not really his face for me, it's the combination of the way he speaks, his smile, everything about him in Fracture (although he played an arrogant ass).

My list:
- Paltrow and Cameron Diaz. Somehow I get them mixed up although I know they look nothing alike
- Benedict Cumberbatch. Seems sweet, but sex symbol? Nah
- Scarlett J has/had a killer body. Her face is pretty enough, but normal

Give me all the Hemsworths. I find them all attractive in different ways. John Travolta is too weird now, but I loved him back in the Grease days. Clooney will forever be a classic to me.

Back in the day it seems lots of guys were crushing on Jennifer Love Hewitt, and I just did not get it at all.

I've also never found Brad Pitt to be attractive. Or Ashton Kutcher.

I think Mila Kunis is gorgeous and my male celebrity crush is Henry Cavill, especially the way he looks in the Immortals. https://www.google.com/search?q=henry+cavill+the+immortals&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS741US741&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjZoZ_m8sDWAhXjIsAKHZ7eAhkQ_AUICigB&biw=1366&bih=662
