Is/was Donald Sutherland Attractive?

Speaking as a hetrosexual male I think so. Why did he not gain sex symbol status? Women must have considered him an absolute ride when he was younger.

If this is a thread for suggesting actors who straight men think are sexy,and I think it is, I'd go for Alan Rickman.

He had an alternative unconventional look, back then it was all bobs and gobs for the women and hair and macho for the men.

He does creepy very well, Don't look now" had to be one of the greatest horrors ever made, if it was a horror.

And of course Julie Christie thought he was sexy and that's good enough for me.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves?

Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here?

Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?

My flatmate met him recently at the restaurant where she works. She's Czech and didn't know who he was even when her co-workers explained it to her. She said he was a perfect gentleman. I didn't ask if she thought he was hot though!!

What if you were speaking as a homosexual male would you find him attractive then.
