Question for my flist

[green_queen]

Who's an actor that you can see is attractive in an intellectual sense, but you feel absolutely no personal attraction to, and you sometimes feel as though you're going crazy because you don't feel it?

I'll start with three: Michael Trucco, Brad Pitt, and Zachary Quinto.

(I reserve the right to get upset if your answers don't suit me. This is my journal, after all.)

Aaannnd...go.

George Clooney.

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

OMG, yes. I can see he's good looking and I like the guy but no attraction at all.

[corellianjedi.livejournal.com]

I agree with you on Trucco and Pitt. (The only exception for Pitt: Fight Club.)

[grrliz.livejournal.com]

Brad Pitt is hit or miss for me. Or at least, the older he gets, the more attractive I find him, but I never had any attraction to him when he was young and all my friends had pictures of him in their lockers.

[zombres.livejournal.com]

I second Brad Pitt. He's sometimes pretty, and I can appreciate that he has a well-toned bod, but he just doesn't do it for me.

If we can go back and include classic actors, I never understood the appeal of Clark Gable.

[truffle-shuffle.livejournal.com]

I'd agree with Brad Pitt and Quinto. Totally disagree about Trucco, but you saw that coming.

Mine:

Jamie Bamber
John Barrowman (Love Captain Jack; have never been attracted to him, though)

[zombres.livejournal.com]

I think I have to second Bambie, too. He's very pretty, his bod is smoking, but I've never been attracted to him. Maybe it's because I've only seen him in BSG and the fact that he affects an American accent might turn me off?

Hahah, that just shows how much accents can affect Angie's libido, I guess.

Totally agree with John Barrowman. I can accept that he is pretty but when everyone goes gah-gah over him I don't see it.

[entwashian.livejournal.com]

Hmm... I spend more time thinking about pretty boys that turn me on, rather than not.

Ryan Reynolds, maybe?

[thumbaleena.livejournal.com]

I said this after seeing Wolverine. All my friends were all gaga over him and I was all "Hmm, yeah I can see why, but nah, not for me."

My three...

[forecastisrayne.livejournal.com]

Adrian Grenier (though he does have spectacular eyes and hello environmentalism - there is just nothing going on for me below the pants)

Jake Gyllanhaal (and Maggie for that matter) - yes v. pretty but... *shrugs*

and

James Franco.

[andemaiar.livejournal.com]

Just the ones I can think of on the spot:

Clive Owen
Harrison Ford
Joaquin Phoenix
Matthew McConaughey
Josh Holloway

[morebliss.livejournal.com]

Christian Bale, Eric Bana, Hugh Jackman.

[kerrsmith2306]

Agree on Christian Bale.

[melissajane14.livejournal.com]

Hugh Jackman and Angelina Jolie

[the-partyman.livejournal.com]

Angelina Jolie

[numbaby.livejournal.com]

Eric Bana
Richard Gere
Josh Hartnett --> why?

[subtle--sarcasm.livejournal.com]

Jamie Bamber
Matthew McConaughey (Actually I used to kind of like him years and years and years ago, but now I find him so unappealing he kind of grosses me out. I don't know what changed. )
Christian Bale
Jared Padalecki
Chris Pine *ducks*

[glitterdemon.livejournal.com]

chris pine!! /throws tomatoes at you

[hobbitofkobol.livejournal.com]

I agree about ZQ!
And Brad Pitt does it for me only for some movies.

I think the main reason I feel no attraction is when I don't think the guy is interesting lmao, he just feels blah.

- Matthew Fox (lol)
- Patrick Dempsey
- Eric Dane
- Chace Crawford

also, the guys from SPN, maybe because I've only seen a few episodes

oh and Orlando Bloom!

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

Okay, with the Supernatural guys: I want to do Dean, but Jensen left me a little cold. I don't care much about Sam, but Jared gets me all hot and bothered. WHY?

Orli! Yes! I feel like his big sister. Which is weird, because he's older than me.

[greedy_dancer]

Definitely most of the "manly" actors out there like Pitt, Clooney, Jackman, "Lincoln Burrows", "Nathan Petrelli", that guy from OZ and L&O SVU, all the guys from Numb3rs except Charlie ... Notable exceptions being Sean Bean & Clive Owen, I think because of their voices.

Matt Damon & Ben Affleck don't do anything for me. Neither does Robert Pattinson. Or Zach Ef(f)ron.

Same for Quinto and, I'm afraid, Chris Pine! And I should know, because one of my close RL friends is all about the Chris Pine these days and I had the unfortunate idea to link her to ONTD_ST and now she's showering me with pics and videos every night. So I'm quite sure about that one! lol

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

Zac Efron ;)
RPattz does it for me because he just does not give a shit.

CHRIS PIIIINE. HAVE YOU SEEN STAR TREK?

[stufsocker.livejournal.com]

Wow, my list is just about anyone you can think of. In fact, it would be MUCH easier to list the guys I *do* find attractive. And it would be a very, very weird list.

[truffle-shuffle.livejournal.com]

Now I'm curious to know who'd be on that list. LOL

[gatezilla.livejournal.com]

I agree with your three and here are three more:

Milo Ventimiglia
Orlando Bloom
Michael Weatherly

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

[dekolette.livejournal.com]

I can only think of one...
Jared Padalecki

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

Yeah, like I said above: I didn't really feel that either until I met him, at which point I totally melted. I STILL prefer Dean, and prefer Jensen in pictures, but in person Jared is panty-melting hotness.

[thumbaleena.livejournal.com]

* Zac Effron - I believe I have actually said, numerous times he's "too pretty".
* Chase Crawford - clone of the above? lol
* Chris Pine - This one baffles me because I can see he's good looking and he makes me laugh so much but ... nothing! (!!??!!)
* Eric Bana
* Jensen Ackles.

[kerrsmith2306]

Christian Bale, Matthew Fox, Jeffrey Dean Morgan

[elodiek.livejournal.com]

There are actors already mentionned that I don't "get" either, but I'll add one: Johnny Depp. He's an awesome actor though.

[hepcatliz.livejournal.com]

1. RPattz - I was around for the Cedric-seedy-opium-den days, but just didnt get it.
2. Johnny Depp - I will freely admit he is a pretty good actor, he's almost too pretty.
3. Chris Pine - I know, I know, he just doesn't do a thing for me.
