SaligoBay Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Always willing, so I put this on last night (not the same as watching it, because this 30-best-of type program has no inherent value, apart from helping you get to grips with French culcher).Obviously French wimmin have a different concept of "beau" from wot I have. There were a few real fugglies in there, and - ssssshhhhh - most of them were French!!!And Bill Clinton at number 33 ??????????? Here are the results, in case anyone's interested. http://television.over-blog.com/article-100601.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Well, I had to sneak a look, if only for vanity's sake to see how I might have measured up had I been famous... A few surprises, such as there being rather more foreigners than I would have expected from a French poll. A lot I'd never heard of, too. David Beckham being ahead of Thierry Henri was a surprise. And every woman I know reckons Sean Connery is sex on legs (albeit almost necrophiliac sex) so it was a shock that he (and Johnny Depp who is after all married to a Frenchwoman and I thought was popular here) only just edged in ahead of Clinton. I thought No19 said Julian Clary on first reading (actually Julien Clerc - who he?). I wouldn't have expected to see Hugh Grant (34) particularly ahead of Bruce Willis and Mel Gibson.Gerard Depardieu, whom Mrs Conq rather fancies I think, is nowhere to be seen.I suppose that given the diminutive stature of most of the men from our part of France I shouldn't be surprised to see a dwarf at the head of the list.All this 'top 50' stuff is a bit Total France though, isn't it?

Teamedup Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 What a strange list and Huge Jackman didn't even make it.Julien Clerc is a.........ah this does pain me to say, singer. He has sang one song where I thought he sang well, but he always sounds off key and he wobbles. Gerard Depardieu beau? hmm not what quite crosses my mind really. He has something about him, I'm not sure if it is good looks though.There are only a couple on the list that I do know know and as my curiosity is peeked I will have to look them up. I must say that there are lot of old men on the list aren't there........ quite amazing really. And the pip squeak at number one, well, that was a surprise.

Fantine<br><br><br><br>Susie Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 No sign of Frederic Michalak in the list. He is sooooooooo cute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexis Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Just glancing down the list, I will plump for 2, 8, 12, 13, 14, 15 18, and 20. Not in best looks order. Some of them are a bit past their best now. Out of the list, Roch Vosine....soft spot for Garou and like Franck Dubosc too. Did you know that Franck Dubosc was Deidrie's French boyfriend many years ago? Of course you did. I've already told you once! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 George Clooney should have been No 1 but then I thought John Thaw was very sexy so may be I am not a good judge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistral Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 David Charvet!! They are joking! And the Hallidays pere or fils should never beat Sean connery! (or even be mentioned in the same sentence) It looks more to me a test of the amount of times they are mentioned in Télé 7 jours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaysBasque Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Well, I'm sorry to say that I really cannot agree with most of the choices, as half of the ones actually on the list are virtually dead! AND WHERE IS COLIN FIRTH????? No list is complete without him,, as far as I'm concerned. I like George Clooney though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La vieille Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Well Patrick Bruel does it for me OK! Well, I'd be happy if he did....!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaligoBay Posted February 9, 2005 Author Share Posted February 9, 2005 Definitely disappointed at no Huge Jackman. Orlando Bloom is kind of growing on me though (oo-er missus, sounds like something I might need cream for).I think that out of all the French ones on offer last night, the Hallyday boys were the best. Ah no, maybe Zidane, he's rather yummy. Thierry Lhermitte is lovely, but a bit underfed.Whoever wants Colin Firth can have him. And Hugh Grant. And Bill Clinton. Funny thing taste, isn't it? Am I allowed to say that immediately after mentioning Bill Clinton?Nytol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patf Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Going off at a tangent, if you want to see gorgeous frenchmen try sitting by the bottom of the stairway in the Toulouse fnac at lunchtime. All these suave businessmen come in, not formally dressed as in uk, but casual chic, colour coordinated and elegant. A bit of a culture shock after being among the country bumpkins in Champion at Mirande. Me included.Pat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letrangere Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Good looking men in FNACs everywhere, Pat. Paris Wagram especially but Bordeaux too. Don't suppose somewhere could post the top 10 on the Forum, I've clicked and clicked but the link doesn't take me there. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vrooje<BR>Cheers,<br>-Brooke<BR><br><B><A TARGET=blank HREF="http:www.experienceburgundy.com">http:www.experienceburgundy.com<A><B> Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 I agree, #1... not my style.Maybe they meant Paul Newman in his Butch & Sundance days? 'cause he still had it then, and boy did he, but I'm not sure now. Then again, a lot of his time is devoted to charities, including the Hole in the Wall Gang camp (which helps children with life-threatening diseases), and men with a good heart and soul are sexy.I fully agree with the outrage at the lack of a Colin Firth or a Hugh Jackman. mmMMMmmm... (Choosing Kevin Costner over Colin and Hugh... I just... don't understand...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letrangere Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 Thanks Alexis. No French actors on the list not even Vincent Perez, though he's Swiss? He's always complaining in interviews that directors only think of his as a matinee idol with a pretty face. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaysBasque Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 I've just had another look, and......Zinedine Zidane????? Give me strength, he's about as beautiful and sexy as my dishcloth! And whilst we are looking at sports personalities, where is Frederic Michalak? He's about as sexy and good looking as it gets on a pitch, and those legs....Anyway, still grumbling about no Colin Firth, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teamedup Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 Just looking at this subject title and really it is far more than looks that makes a bel homme.I can name at least one on that list who are beautiful men, but they really do give me the creeps.

But seriously, I just don't like the glowering, grumpy look. He's a fantastic footballer though. Also, as you can see from my preference for Michalak, I'm somewhat of a cradle snatcher!!!
