The sexiest male celebrities!
Although The Hunkies is devoted to the young and hot, we don’t want you to think we’re only about ‘dem yoot’. Well, there is something of diminishing hotness after a certain age, but that doesn’t mean we don’t like the oldsters – after all, Tom Cruise is knocking fifty nowadays and Brad Pitt ain’t no spring chicken.
This article will look back over the years at some of the oldsters when they were young and impossibly, smokingly, H-O-T HOT. Most of these guys are no longer with us, and one is probably either playing Party Poker or scrabble on his porch in his slippers, but back in the day they were if not hunkie at least very very handsome.
The man who invented hotness for the screen has to be Rudolph Valentino. Born with the marvellously over the top name, Rodolfo Alfonso Raffaello Pierre Filibert Guglielmi di Valentina d’Antonguolla, in Italy and 
dying at the age of only 31 in 1926 having made less than 40 films (this was when many films were under 20 mins). Rudy embodied smouldering – imagine a candle that has just been put out and believe that the wick never stops smoking and sizzling. That was our man.
In the 30s, it’ll have to be Clark Gable. Sure there are lots of others we could choose, but when it comes to sheer exuberant romance Gone With The Wind will be watched for hundreds of years in the future and without the nonchalant handsomeness of Rhett Butler, the film wouldn’t be the same.
By the fifties the world had changed and become more cynical, so Marlon Brando has to be the hottest If ever there was a misunderstood, tight tee-shirt wearing, hot hottie, it is Marlon in the full bloom of youth in A Streetcar Named Desire.
Our final ‘Hot but Oldie’ is definitely off the beaten track but bear with us. Peter Fonda – yes, while his sister was getting all the attention in Barbarella, Peter was swimming around a sun drenched pool in the desert in Easy Rider. Yes, if you haven’t seen it, you’ve got a treat. Pure hunkie poetry.
As many of you are aware Footloose, originally starring Kevin Bacon, has been remade – now starring one of our Hunkie nominees, Kenny Wormald. Setting aside my personal feelings on the constant remakes film industry is churning out these days.
What do we think? Who wins the battle of the Footloose K´s?
The original Kevin Bacon
or Kenny Wormald in the remake…
Completely unrelated to The Hunkies I realise but I have spent the last few minutes playing this little video hunt game around the streets of Paris and, to be honest, I´ve become a little addicted – mainly because (as it turns out) my knowledge of Paris isnt really that great so I took more than one incorrect detour. Damn!
The premiss is this – Audrey Marnay, the face of the new Longchamp ad campaign, has hidden in Paris her favourite bag: the Balzane bag of the Autumn 2011 collection and it is your job to go after it… You get to ride on a motorcycle through the streets of an Autumnal Paris and find the new Balzane, the iconic bag of this season, before it disappears. The chase is on, the rock music starts, your motorcycle passes several of the most beautiful Parisian monuments. You need to chose the correct itinerary because only one way will lead you to the final destination where Audrey and her Balzane bag are waiting for you.
Luckily on your way you will meet three star bloggers (the Chinese blogger Jing Wang, the French blogger Eleonore Bridge of the blog de la méchante, and the American blogger Rumi Neely of Fashiontoast) who will give you useful clues.
Enjoy and Good luck!
This is a sponsored post.
I would like to take the opportunity to introduce you to a new area of the site which is just in the process of being added – the fan communities. Each hunkie on the site, or at least the ones with a vocal enough fan following, will have its own individual fan community in this area.
Each area is a mini social network allowing members to share information, news, images, youtube videos and, of course, chat with like minded people.
To take part in the initial beta you will first need to join the global fan community and then join the relevant group or groups of the hunkies you are interested in (you can join as many as you like!). Post in the group like a social network, add friends and make forum posts. The communities will only be as good as we make them! If your favourite hunkies does not have a fan community yet just drop me a line – either in the comments, via contact form or tweet me.
When you join you will be immediately subscribed to a discussion group which is intended to give you a forum of making suggestions and reporting issues. Enjoy!
Current fan communities exist for Richard Armitage, Eric Balfour, Alex O´Loughlin, Alex Skarsgard, Joe Manganiello, Stephen Moyer and Aidan Turner

We, on The Hunkies, featured William Levy a long time before he caught the eye of Jennifer Lopez. Now featured in her latest music video he´s gathering interest across the globe and little wonder. We´ve finally given into the demands and featured the video featuring the beautiful William Levy.
and here are a few images from that video just to keep you ticking over for one of our favourite Latino Hunkies…
The latest installment from Marvel sees Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) volunteer to participate in an experimental program that turns him into a Super Soldier! Watch the transformation in this clip!Also stars Hugo Weaving and Hayley Atwell. At cinemas July 29.
See Chris Evans transform into a hunkie right before your eyes… Well, in a manner of speaking.
*drool*
Joe Manganiello, currently cast as Alcide in True Blood, recently had this to say about his delicious bod
“If Alcide was described as weighing 300 pounds with a comb-over and missing his front teeth, that’s what I would look like,”
I am sooo glad that isnt the case because, althoough I am not remotely sizest, I dont think I would be drooling over this image quite so much if that were the case!
I love my job as a Web Developer (well, technically, I dont but for the purpose of this article I do…) but there is one job I would really love right now..
“Once they yell action, you’re a werewolf and you’re not thinking about it,” he says of stripping down. “But before, there’s a boom guy crouched behind you at a** level.”
Thats the job for me!
