As promised, here is a list of some of my favorite men. This list will constantly evolve and update, some will get shuffled out and others added. But I’m sure you’ll agree with my picks, even if you would have made different choices.
Now I had to narrow it down, so I kind of just picked my top 10. Kind of. (About halfway through you may begin to notice my penchant for Polynesian/Samoan/Maori men.) So fasten your seatbelts; here… we… go!
1. Ryan Reynolds. All I can say is that this guy made my list back when I was “tween” before the word had even been coined. Back when he was on You Can’t Do That On Television. Now he’s a full-fledged star and fully grown as well. Gorgeous face, beautiful body and a killer sense of humor help him top my list (even though the list is not in any order).
2. Colin Morgan. This handsome Irish actor is just amazing. Most recently, he gained fame in America as Merlin in the fantasy series of the same name. He is so cute and talented and is just an everybody’s guy. Beautiful smile, cute rather big ears, and a great sense of humor.
3. Bradley James. A British actor who has also gained American face time in Merlin. Bradley plays Prince Arthur in the show, and is kind of the opposite of Colin Morgan in life and on screen. Beefy, rogueish, handsome and super funny. No wonder they’re both on my list.
4. Andy Whitfield. A Welsh actor/model this time. I do tend to like those foreign men, huh? Andy has been in several Australian sitcoms and a low-budget movie. However, in his title role of Spartacus in the new Starz series, Spartacus: Blood and Sand, he shows just why his appeal has jumped the pond and finally broken into the American market. I mean, just look at him.
5. Manu Bennett. Ok, now this one is kind of special to me. He’s also from Spartacus: Blood and Sand and plays Spartacus’ on-again-off-again enemy. But, let me preface this by saying that I have this fantasy man in my head that I was convinced just could not exist. This man would be a Maori or Samoan man, who sang/danced/acted, played rugby, and taught at a university in his ‘spare time.’ No man could have so many varied insterests and traits as this dream guy, right?. Oh how wrong I was. I ran across Manu Bennett on the show and was pretty damn sure he was Maori, but I investigated to see for sure. And yes, of Maori descent, sings/acts/dances, played rugby in college and routinely speaks at the university level. Holy crap. Yep, he’s pretty amazing.
6. Dwayne Johnson. I admit, I hate wrestling. I think it’s dumb and violent and really offensive sometimes. But, Dwayne Johnson is the best thing to ever come out of wrestling. Bar none. Beautiful polynesian features, great build, and that smile. Damn. Plus, the tattoos are an added bonus.
7. Taylor Lautner. Please forgive the Twilight banner at the bottom, but this was one of the best photos of him I could find. I normally really love long hair on a man, but with this kid, not so much. It pretty much reminds me that he’s a kid and that I should not find him attractive. But being the “cougar” I am, he’s really attractive. That body should not belong to someone his age. And yet, it does.
8. Temuera Morrison. I first saw him in Once Were Warriors. A haunting, strong film about a Maori family and the struggles they endure. I watched it as part of my research for my first overseas trip to Australia and New Zealand. Little did I know, this trip would give birth to my lifelong love of NZ and the Maori people.
I still find polynesian men of pretty much any descent to be among the most beautiful men on earth.
And now a parade of Samoan/Maori eye candy to round it out 🙂
