Some exceedingly beautiful men.
IMAGE-HEAVY.
Your opinions may highly differ. But these are mine.
---------------
So to explain my complicated idea of "beautiful" (in terms of pure appearance):
For starters, I consider HANDSOME and BEAUTIFUL separate.
Manly beauty can be considered handsome, but you don't necessarily have to be "beautiful" to be handsome IMO (though you DO have to be manly).
- Examples: Hugh Jackman, Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, etc etc.
- If not exactly HANDSOME, I consider just MANLY (ex: Matt Damon)
As for BEAUTIFUL, I consider several branches of "beauty":
There is the young-and-girly beauty (which is like a sub-category of model beauty) like Chris Belcher, the young-and-boyish beauty like Mitch Hewer, Rob Moore, and Ryan Taylor, the sometimes beauty like Jensen Ackles, the model beauty like Mathias Lauridsen (most of the models fall under this category.. you know the typical model faces), and the hard-to-place beauty like Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Cillian Murphy (which I usually don't consider as beauty anyway).
Then there is CUTE, like Chris Pine and Jesse Metcalfe and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, which could branch out into either HANDSOME or BEAUTIFUL, but most of the time HANDSOME.
I think, half the time, the young-and-boyish beauties fall out of BEAUTIFUL and either drop into HANDSOME (like Brad Pitt) or CUTE or just MANLY (like Matt Damon) or Not Much In General (kind of like... Leo DiCaprio..)
Then again, you can grow into HANDSOME (like Will Smith) or just MANLY, but not BEAUTIFUL or CUTE.
SO.
This post is about the males that I find even more than BEAUTIFUL, and so far I've found three: Gaspard Ulliel, Ben Berro (I wasn't going to include him, but the more I looked at him the more he seemed like one of those Greek/Roman statues so I said what the hey), and Nicolas Chabot (again, I had to debate whether or not I considered him beautiful).
Gaspard Ulliel:
- Born Nov. 25, 1984 (hey... we have the same birthday..)
- The scar on his face from a dog looks like a cute dimple that makes his face less perfect and more.. iunno. Gaspard.
- I find that he becomes more beautiful-looking as you stare longer at his face. There's just something about it... Hmm.. I'm not sure, but I think he has the kind of face (though a bit on the long side) that is ideally "beautiful" in my eyes. Maybe because his face isn't girly, yet it isn't manly. What is it? Is it like a mix of cute + handsome + beautiful, which just elevates everything to beautiful and beyond? Is it because this one face can display and encompass so many combinations of "beauty" that it can't be one or the other? Because it has a near perfect degree or ratio of masculine and feminine attributes? Usually androgynous-looking males are the most "beautiful," but Gaspard Ulliel doesn't seem completely androgynous - I'd say way more masculine than feminine. Regardless. There's just something about his face. It's elegant - beautiful.
- At times he looks like a completely different person in different pictures. Maybe it's the angle and lighting that contribute to the discrepancies.
- He looks good with any haircut. I mean ANY haircut. Even shaved. Usually I don't like it when guys have long hair, but it looks good on him. Long hair (bang-less) and scruffy beard make him look manly+older, whereas short hair and clean-shaven face make him appear younger. I think I prefer his scruffy look (which is what I usually prefer on a male celeb if it looks good on him).
Nicolas Chabot:
- born April 15, 1988
- I would definitely also place him under young-and-girly beauty or model beauty, but his face seemed too... statuesque? So here he is, "beautiful"
Benjamin Berro:
- born sept. 12, 1984
- I didn't consider him "beautiful" at first, but the more I looked at his face the more it seemed like one of those Greek statues - I dunno, he seems to have a face of antiquity.
Perhaps I base beauty on feminine features/attributes of the face. I don't often call men beautiful, but these three seem worthy (at least a bit?) of the title.
I ought to mention that just because I think someone is beautiful, it doesn't mean that I feel attracted to them. I don't really like the male model type (Nicolas Chabot and Ben Berro included), and Gaspard Ulliel seems to be my only exception so far, because I otherwise lean towards scruffy and HANDSOME. :)
And why do most male models smoke? Is it a model thing to do? Lol.
