Cool is attitude

epgc3fyqirnbsx

I'm sitting here watching Steve McQueen in Papillion.

There's a fella who I reckon isn't particularly good looking, and not buffed up by todays gym whore standards but sweet jesus that man is cool. Just by sitting there squinting his eyes in the sun, that man is effortlessly cool.

Like Sinatra and the boys in the pack back in the day, none who were all that fantastic looking but they were gents in suits that you wouldn't f*ck iwth. Which is cool.

These are men, not Orlando Bloom or Russel Brand types, men who were men and were cool for a bit of attitude and who could carry it.

I'm struggling to think of many who are around now, maybe it's cos of teenies who are dominating whats at the front of pop culture, and footie players are mostly pussies now, remember Cantona anyone??

Sebastien Chabal is all I can think of at the moment, not the greatest rugby player but totally awesome for looking like a caveman and growling at the haka

Are there any others?

Christopher Walken.

Clint Eastwood for me , he could probably say more with one look that most actors would in an entire film.

Okay, a real list (from my point of view):

Neil Flynn (as aforementioned Janitor, but he seems cool outside of that, too)
John C. McGinley (Dr. Cox. I mean, come on.)
Marlon Brando
Tommy Chong
Samuel L. Jackson
Bobby Darin
Gary Oldman
Johnny Depp
Michael Caine
Harvey Keitel
Ewan McGregor (in a charming, charismatic cute kind of way.. it's a girl thing)
David Carradine (before.. you know.. the "incident")
Michael Madsen
Kevin Spacey (in an unconventional way)
Robert Downey Jr.
Morgan Freeman
Paul Newman
Clint Eastwood
Penn & Teller (particularly Teller)
Stephen Fry (in a nerdy, genuine, man worthy of endless amounts of respect)
Ray Wise (as the Devil in Reaper!)
Bruce Willis (in select films)
Hunter S. Thompson

Eh.. I know there's some I'm forgetting. Oh well.

Think it had something to do with the OP

jd007

Samuel L Jackson

The real cool individuals are the ones who don't have to do much in order to be cool. Look at Dean Martin, the man was cool incarnate even though he spent a lot of time in close proximity to Jerry Lewis. Lewis spent his time mugging for the camera and falling around the stage, where as Dean would just stand there with a drink in hand being effortlessly cool.

Bowie, Morrison.

Why do you say Matt Damon is a tosser, is it because that's a cool thing to say?

Handsome Bob

Nearly two whole pages and no mention of Jack Nicholson, for shame AH, for shame.

Aged 78.

Sinatra Dino and the original eye patch Sammy Davis Jr still get talked about today, eh!.

The real Eye Patch was John Wayne though.:p

I respectfully disagree, Terry Crews ads are indeed brilliant, especially the punch one.

But when it comes to coolness, there is nobody cooler than Isaiah(sp) Washington.

Watched Gran Torino the other night, He's still tougher looking than the current crowd of cosmetic using ladyboys.

Jon Hamm, he plays Don Draper in Mad Men. Effortlessly cool.

Most of these people are highly energetic, if not abrasive people, as far removed from effortlessly cool as you could get really.

Jim Morrison was not cool, he was a pretentious bell-end.

But I concur with Bowie.
