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

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)

Not to be confused with that tosser Matt damon.

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

Handsome Bob · 11-09-2010 02:57AM

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

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.

Dino Paul Crocetti ( Dean Martin ) died on Christmas Day 1995 in Los Angeles, California.:(

Aged 78.

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

:pac:

The real Eye Patch was John Wayne though.:p

His eyes, right?

They are like Tar.Aldarions, you could quite happily swim naked with them watching you.

I could.:pac:

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.

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

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

Kersmash · 11-09-2010 04:35AM

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.

Bowie, Morrison.

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

But I concur with Bowie.

gonedrinking · 11-09-2010 09:49AM

Paul Simonon in the Clash was pretty ****ing cool

Wibbs · 11-09-2010 09:56AM

Speaking of Bogart. Here's a woman who was cool and no mistake.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MheNUWyROv8

Cary grant was the epitome of elegant cool.

Chuchoter · 11-09-2010 10:01AM

I think Charlotte Gainsbourgh has the whole effortless cool thing going on but I'm not sure if she fits the bill. Otherwise, Dr.House fo sho.

In real life though, I actually can't stand some shops you walk into (boutique-y, vegan places generally) and the shop assistants are just way too cool for you. Its like I pay you're ****ing salary, don't look at me like I'm the nerdy kid you laughed at in school, you'll be folding clothes the rest of your life 'fashion student':mad:

nmblade · 11-09-2010 10:23AM

Woody Harrelson.
Rutger Hauer.
Jack Nicholson.
Clint Eastwood.
Robert De Niro.
Al Pacino.

storm2811 · 11-09-2010 10:59AM

Does Brendan Gleeson count?Feck it, Brendan Gleeson.:pac:

Clint Eastwood
Michael Gambon

mojesius · 11-09-2010 11:10AM

I commend your taste OP.

1.Steve McQueen
2.James Dean
3.George Best
4.Paul Newman
5.Jack Nicholson (before the moobs)

6.George Clooney

I'll stop here.

Steve Mc was always effortlessly cool and far, far better looking than the bunch of metros to choose from today, like that twilight bloke or the Beckhams of this world.

Neil Flynn (as aforementioned Janitor, but he seems cool outside of that, too) Its his character that you think is cool.
John C. McGinley (Dr. Cox. I mean, come on.) Its his character that you think is cool.
Marlon Brando - Agree
Tommy Chong - No
Samuel L. Jackson - The man who makes so many awful movies because he loves money, don't think so.
Bobby Darin - Agree
Gary Oldman - Agree
Johnny Depp - Prob the coolest current celeb
Michael Caine - Agree
Harvey Keitel - Agree
Ewan McGregor (in a charming, charismatic cute kind of way.. it's a girl thing) -in no way whatsoever cool.
David Carradine (before.. you know.. the "incident") - The incident rules him out.
Michael Madsen - Borderline
Kevin Spacey (in an unconventional way) - No
Robert Downey Jr. - No
Morgan Freeman - Agree
Paul Newman - Agree
Clint Eastwood - Agree
Penn & Teller (particularly Teller) - No chance
Stephen Fry (in a nerdy, genuine, man worthy of endless amounts of respect) - funny and respectable and likeable, but not cool.
Ray Wise (as the Devil in Reaper!) - don't know him
Bruce Willis (in select films) - again your mistaking his characters for him.
Hunter S. Thompson - 100% agree

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

Your coolometer is broke, remind me not to send you to the fridge to get me a beer, no-one likes a warm one.

Only two females in 4 pages.
Is coolness strictly a macho thing or can women be cool too?

af_thefragile · 11-09-2010 02:54PM

Steve McQueen - can't think of a single move he wasn't super cool in.
Clint Eastwood - from Good,Bad and Ugly through Dirty Harry and to Gran Torino, this man has defined cool!

And maybe Johnny Depp. He has a very cool style about him through all his movies.

Cool is attitude
