Oh, come on… Mickey Rourke? Really?
I can only hope this was when he was younger.

Yeah, and 10 of them were arranged in various couplings among themselves at any given time; eleven, if Mick was sucking on the crack pipe. Henderson the Rain King I’m betting he wasn’t, even in his heyday.
“Angel Heart” was on TV a couple of nights ago and damn, he really went from handsome to circus freak. He’s still managed to snag this though:

14 women, 1 night. Or, as we call it
down here in The Islands: Saturday!
Seriously, the younguns might not know what a hunk he was back in the day. Two of the hottest sex scenes this side of NC-17 are him + Lisa Bonet in the aforementioned ‘Angel Heart’ (a great film, and at the time legend had it Bill Cosby fired Ms. Bonet from The Cosby Show for doing that scene) and him + an Asian model called Ariane in ‘Year of the Dragon’ (an otherwise forgettable film). He had a small but juicy role in possibly the sexiest movie ever, ‘Body Heat’ (Kathleen Turner is another ancient hottie) – and that’s not to mention his soft-core sex films ’9 1/2 Weeks’ and its sequel(s), which I’ve never seen.
Mickey Rourke was never hot. I never lusted for him in his prime, and I don’t recall any of my friends drooling over him, either. Men who look or act like they might host a large and diverse bacterial colony in their genitalia are sexually appealing only to female versions of themselves. Young Mickey Rourke was popular with male audiences because of the characters he played. I don’t think he was ever a sex symbol with legions of adoring female fans. The names that come to mind when I think of 80s hearthrobs are James Spader, Val Kilmer, Kiefer Sutherland, and Matt Dillon. I also liked Andrew McCarthy, John Cusack, and Matthew Broderick although they were cast as boys next door, rather than promoted as pinups.
No doubt, Rourke had too much testosterone to appeal to you.
The movie Top Gun oozed testosterone. Think shirtless Val Kilmer playing volleyball or uniformed Val Kilmer in aviator glasses taunting that gnome who played the lead role in the movie.
True dat!
I am sure some dogs can match him easily.
Beastly.
Some Europeans used to use exact action to degrade Orientals. Now, they are bragging about it.
Dogs.
I said some. Not all.
I am sure there are many Europeans and their descents who are sick about this type of “dick bragging”.
I am sure he had his share of “Pussy whipping”. So, he is compensating for it.
I said some. Not all.
I am sure there are many Europeans and their descents who are sick about this type of infantile bragging.
Errr….
Thanks for that link, IHBB. I had forgotten about those steamy locker room scenes occasionally spoiled by the appearance of the gnome in Fruit of the Loom briefs. And Rick Rossovich…the only man in the movie who could pull my eyes off Val Kilmer. Sadly, Val is so bloated now I’d have to give him a miss.
As a dude …
I just don’t get what women think is hot. If I were female, I imagine I would like “men’s men”: George Clooney, Clive Owen, Russell Crowe, Daniel Craig. Instead, my wife adores the same pretty boys as Sonagi, plus Tom Cruise. John Cusack was great in ‘Grifters’ but as a romantic leading man? I don’t get it. Matthew Broderick is gay fer chrissakes!
Are there women – female stars – whose extreme popularity with men other women just don’t get?
A movie that oozed testosterone was ‘The Fast & Furious.’
It was going to be a breakthrough for minorities in film.
What the hell happened to that?
We’re back to white pretty boys.
What about Twilight? Didn’t that movie ooze testosterone? Like Jo Kwon…
By press time, Mr. Kilmer’s representative had not returned several requests for comment.
George Clooney in the 90s and early 2000s: sizzling. George Clooney in the 80s: dork with a mullet. That’s why he didn’t make the list. Clive Owen, Russell Crowe, and Daniel Craig were not stars in the 80s. That’s why they didn’t make the list. My current or all-time list of hottest male stars would not include most of the men in comment #4. Russell Crowe was hot in the 90s, but he looks scruffy nowadays. Clive Owen and Daniel Craig still look good.
#12,
I’m not sure I’d describe her as “extremely popular” among men, but one female star my wife (who is Korean) and her friends really really don’t understand how men could ever like is Lucy Liu.
George Clooney is a really handsome guy, but the real star of Up in the Air was this woman. Yowza.
I think he’s going for the Brando look, circa “The Missouri Breaks”. Come to think of it, so is Brendon; but at least HE’s from the show me state.
Mickey Rourke use to frequent the clubs in Koreatown. The girls were generally a little revolted by him. But he tipped well.
Sperwer — You need to stop picking on me. I had the occasion to weigh myself the morning at the baths — trying to restore visual contact with my pecker (thank goodness for mirrors!) — and I’m not even over 180 lbs. For a guy who’s 5′ 4″ tall that’s not so bad.
Brendon:
I gained 9 kg over the past 6 weeks – and still the BF % went down to 9% and the w/h ratio is better than Jessica Alba’s. Abs a’poppin. I’ve got so much visual contact, it scares me – and it’s mine.
Jessica Alba has slender hips, so that’s not saying much. The day your w/h ratio equals JLo’s, you’d better ease up on the regimen.
Gained 20 lbs.?! Are you training for Mr. Olympia now?
OK, here’s the data: .86
Brendon:
Naw, don’t have THOSE genes, and not willing to mess with the real (“boys” shrinking; bitch-tit (gynomastia) producing, lipids-confusing, liver destroying) gear; just taking it as it comes.
The body double for Vera Farmiga in Up In The Air was really hot. Steaming. Hawt.
But Vera is not bad herself. She was in that movie Never Forever by a Korean-American director and she is nude in that as well. Very nice TnA.
I’m not sure who I’d find attractive if I were a woman… Not George Cloony. Not Johnny Depp. Chiselled features and body make up a “cool look” so I’d probably be attracted to that. Maybe David Beckham?
For Korean actors… Jo In Seong? Jeong Woo Seong a la Musa? Haha. I watched The Classic a few weeks ago. Jo In Seong was in it as was another Korean actor, Jo Seung Woo. I thought JSW was handsome in that scene where he reunites with Son Yeh Jin’s character and he pretends not to be blind… Good looking guy. Ahn Jeong Hwan is handsome too.
@Sperwer:
A w/h ratio of .86 may be great for a man, but a number like that for a woman would alarm her doctor into running tests for metabolic syndrome and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Your w/h ratio isn’t lower than Jessica Alba’s, but it’s probably lower than Kelly Bensimon’s. The golden ratio for women is .7. Mine is .72.
Sonagi @ 29. Interesting, I didn’t knew there was such a BIG difference between men and women – although it stands to reason. I’m told the std for men is .90 – although I think when they say std, they mean ideal, because statistically very few people nowadays even come close; even in Korea there are very many people, both fashionable women and Kim salarymen, who are fat skinny. Anyway, yeah mine’s way better than Bensimons, who looks to be almost 1:1 but she also looks like she’s pretty short-waisted, which really doesn’t work with the rest of her anatomy and help in that regard; and she’s got that thigh and buttocks thing going on that is the female equivalent of lower back fat panels, and to a lesser extent, belly fat for men She actually looks through the torso like a lifter whose put down the bar or, at least, stopped doing ab and core work in favor of drinking beer; with a little more effort at the latter she could end up with the Governator bloat. What was she thinking about when she went for the photo shoot?
“For a guy who’s 5′ 4″ tall that’s not so bad. ”
Don’t mean to sound patronizing, but if you weigh anywhere near 180lbs at 5′ 4″, please get your cholesterol levels checked.
“I gained 9 kg over the past 6 weeks – and still the BF % went down to 9%”
Been going back to the gym since February, too. I really got lazy after getting surgery last year, and my health probably suffered for it (was starting to have high cholesterol levels). I’m working up slowly to my usual 4x per week powerlifting workout. I’ll probably be able to go full out in a week or two because I was able to bench press just 40kg short of my pre-surgery max this weekend.
Understandable since you’re a longtime resident of a country where, in the words of a commenter, “the ass genes got switched.”
More importantly, what was Playboy thinking? War paint, fake bake, blow-up balloons, and expert Photoshoppers can’t hide fug. I wouldn’t be surprised if the magazine folded in a couple of years.
