#TBT: Counting Down 5 Ultimate Classic Hollywood Hunks

We love our gay porn stars, but the worship of beautiful men on screen is a tradition that goes back as far as filmmaking itself. Here are just a handful of the Classic Hollywood hunks that people lusted over then and that today we still would love to, well ya know…

5. Rudolph Valentino

Rudolph Valentino was the original Latin Lover. Whether soulfully gazing at his leading lady in The Sheik or sporting a lean torso in Blood and Sand, it’s easy to see why the public literally fainted at the sight of this Italian stud.

4. Robert Taylor

Robert Taylor admitted himself that he couldn’t act, but he sure was great to look at. One Hollywood magazine said he was, “prettier than his leading lady." Almost makes us hope those rumors about a lavender marriage to Barbara Stanwyck were true.

3. Clark Gable

Joan Crawford described her frequent costar (and sometime lover) Clark Gable best: “He was the most masculine man I have ever seen!” Other than Joan, The King of Hollywood was also rumored to get around with actresses like Lana Turner and Loretta Young. Toxic masculinity at its finest.

2. Gary Cooper

 Gary Cooper could play the big innocent farm boy routine better than anybody because that’s exactly what he was. He was also rumored to be one of Hollywood’s most well-endowed stars.

1. Cary Grant

Cary Grant just checked (and still checks) all the boxes. Gorgeous, charming, and probably versatile in the sack. The actor shared a home with actor Randolph Scott for nearly a decade, and we know they were more than just roommates. Now that would make a great Hollywood biopic!
