    Johnny Depp is one of the rare men in Hollywood whose looks are definitely getting worse with age. It's the whole Peter Pan baby-face syndrome I reckon, and Leo Di Caprio isn't far behind (meow :D).

    Tom Cruise is also a definite goner, considering the star power he used to have. He's just too weird these days. Both him and Depp have very odd body language going on interviews and their voices drop weirdly in register, like they are constantly on some kind of defensive. Very unattractive.

    Talking of Bonds, DC was always yum, even ages before he became 007. Anyone seen "Enduring Love"? TD is also one of my private sex symbols, so I don't know what that Vonshirach is on about. :P Pierce Brosnan on the other hand, I could never get excited about. A bit too suave, polished and sophisticated for my liking. Like no matter what, he'd never get his hands dirty for fear of ruining his manicure. Not my kind of Bond. :(

    Tori Spelling



    I don't think anybody considers Tori a sex symbol. She looks like Mesut Ozil.

    i don't know how david beckham can be viewed as sexy , hes obviously handsome but how can someone that dim and with a stupid voice be sexy ?


    He's very sexy until he speaks. A sadly increasing phenomenon.

    Don't know why Sarah Jessica Parker keeps appearing on this thread :confused: I don't think she was ever considered a sex symbol, more so a fashion icon of sorts.

    Carful now. Posting pics of women without make up seems to be frowned upon in this thread.

    Nice comparison with Ozil all the same. :pac:

    Nah, fashion doesn't have to be stylish or sexy or beautiful, just the latest thing. You should check out the French concept of "jolie laide" (pretty-ugly) - SJP is a textbook example.

    Have you seen her in a film yet? If you did, hot or not, you'd want your money back. Becuase she just stands around.

    That's true. Some of the top fashion models are actually quite ugly.

    That's the idea, so you look at the clothes instead of pretty faces. :D

    Hang on, we're talking about sex symbols, she ticks all the boxes there.....if all she does is stand around in films I'd be happy.

    Didn't realise that SJP had a fan club.
    But you said you can't believe she's considered a sex symbol.

    The vitriol heaped upon her is such bandwagon-jumping. And the way people still call her a horse years and years later as if it's really original.

    This was her during the S&TC years - obviously people can't help who they do or don't fancy, but how the **** is the woman in that picture so horrific-looking? :confused:
    Answer: she isn't - it's just the thing to say.

    But anyway, these threads are like sticking razors into your eyeballs with all the "Your subjective opinion is wrong", "My subjective opinion is right", "I don't fancy a particular person, therefore they're hideously ugly even though they're not at all", "You're lying - you do fancy them because I fancy them", "You're lying - you don't fancy them because I don't fancy them" stuff.
    Yes I know I've posted to it.

    And to answer the OP's question: Julia Roberts. Never saw any beauty in her - find her very plain actually, but that's just my opinion.
    Tom Selleck and Richard Gere - sure, not bad-looking men, but I don't understand the way they cause lots of women to melt. Not even the slightest stirring in these loins at the sight of them.

    Benedict Cumberbatch - at a loss for words over his 'attractiveness'

    You've no blood in your veins :eek:

    He's dreamy :o

    Over rated!

    *checks Werewolf's post count*

    *comes to obvious troll conclusion*

    *goes back to pic of stunning looking woman*

    Because it looks like she was shot with Homer Simpson's make-up gun?

    However, here's a bad photoshop from around the same era, they made a great job of her face, spent far too much time working on her face in fact, and forgot about those hooves man hands!

    Sarah Jessica Parker definitely isnt a looker now but I remember seeing her in Honeymoon In Vegas as a kid and thinking that I needed to go to bed early to touch myself.

    She was a fine thing
