“Her movies grossed the equivalent of billions in today’s money, and her career is the stuff of legends.” —u/Bisthebestever “Honestly, she pushed so many boundaries for women, and I can’t even imagine the changes she could have made if she’d lived her life out fully.” —u/Improv92 “Marilyn Monroe remains one of the most iconic and powerful sex symbols in modern history. Her stunning beauty, charismatic personality, and enigmatic onscreen presence have made her an enduring cultural figure and an embodiment of Hollywood glamour.” —u/YelperQlx “Cleopatra, for sure. But not for the reasons people generally think. It’s important to keep in mind that a lot of what we’ve heard in media about Cleopatra being a seductress and all that is based on how much Rome HATED her and the sexism that’s tied into that. “She was extremely smart and calculating and was able to speak seven to nine different languages. She’s the only ruler from the Ptolemaic dynasty who actually bothered to learn Egyptian. And while, yes, she did have relations with Caesar and Mark Antony, it certainly wasn’t just out of being some impulsive, overtly sexual person. “Augustus viewed her as a huge threat to Rome, which is why he ultimately attacked her and Mark Antony, and long after that spread rumors about her to downplay her significance and power.” —u/OrdinaryBlob “The Prince camp thanks you for your comment. If I didn’t see his name toward the top, I was ready to give the Prince side-eye 😒.” —u/termina_inconsolable “James Dean was a victim of his own good looks. He was a gifted character actor. If he came out now, he’d be like Brad Pitt or Leo DiCaprio, handsome guys who have a ton of acting talent, too.” —u/yougotthesilver “Watched Rebel Without a Cause, and yup, I’m bisexual now.” —u/MuchPriority4501 “Imagine having thousands of people killed and an entire civilization destroyed in your quest just to get with someone.” —u/FirstBankofAngmar “My favorite measurement is the milli-Helen: a unit of measure of beauty, corresponding to the amount of beauty required to launch one ship.” —u/Zerowantuthri “That GIF of him rolling his eyes makes me feel things.” —u/Improv92 “Marlon Brando was so very handsome in his prime.” —u/Dakduif51 “Okay, as a straight man who has only ever seen this man in The Godfather…goddamn, I see it.” —u/AcridAcedia —u/kullnan “Had to scroll way too far to find this. This was my first thought — the gender fluidity, sexual fluidity, LABYRINTH!” —u/HoweverFutile “Bowie was the first person who came to my mind — sexy AF.” —u/BrownSugarBare “And because he’s sexy!” —u/InsaneInTheDrain “He was pretty fucking hot when he was younger. I remember when his food started being sold in my hometown, and my mom said he was so handsome when he was younger. To me he was always the old salad dressing guy. But after looking him up online? He’s the salad dressing guy who was a hottie in his youth.” —u/StinkyKittyBreath “Thank you! I can’t believe I had to scroll this far to find Sophia Loren — a modern goddess, with style and élan emanating from her every facet.” —u/coffeemmm “I met her about a year before she died. She was sassy as ever!” —u/shelsilverstien “The most interesting woman in the world!” —u/bootrick “Hell yeah. He was hypnotizing.” —u/LeChatNoir04 “Handsome, nice body, nice hair, poet, rebel, rock star, great, deep voice, lots of energy. And context is important too. A Morrison now wouldn’t be the same as the one in the liberating ’60s, where sex and drugs were a big deal.” —u/Brymlo “The Red Viper of Dorne? I can get behind that.” —u/stvbckwth “Massive man crush on Pedro. Yes, he’s a heartthrob.” —u/poloboi84 “His name is Diego, and you will show some damn respect!” —u/SometimesITalk16
