Five famous male sex symbols whose age has not diminished their popularity or stars you can't help but lust after
You may have wondered: Am I too old? Have I missed my train? When am I past my prime? Well, we almost all have one thing in common: Our age is in double digits, so let's not be unnecessarily jealous. Those who have already happily reached three digits can be an inspiration to us that it's never too late. Join us for a look at a selection of five sex symbols that age has definitely not limited. The ranking of even the fifty sexiest men (for gay audiences) of all time, from which we have selected the names, was compiled by the website Out.com, and it must be said - we are not surprised. A lot of male and female fans have certainly had a nightmare over these names.
Paul Newman
Beautiful blue eyes - that's the first thing that comes to mind when many people think of Paul Newman. Charisma, intellect, an attractive body and masculine features softened just by the azure blue in his eyes is what made Paul Paul. That he was born in 1925? So what! Paul shone in many pictures even at a paper advanced age and he was successful! Think of the movie Road to Perdition. He gave Mr. Rooney so much personality that he won the hearts of many fans. And how old was he then? The answer is a lovely 77! Road to Perdition, as the film is called in Czech, was released in 2002.
Paul Newman is proof that even death does not stop the energy we send out into the world during our lifetime. He is currently the darling of Instagram, even though he left this world in 2008. People still admire him and share his photos. And no wonder.
Marlon Brando
A man of many talents, among which stood out not only his acting skills, but also his ability to seduce. Many women and men have known his embrace - and maybe we should reverse the order, who knows. According to the DailyMail, Marlon even let it be known that first thing in the morning he thinks about who he's going to sleep with tonight... (Let's just say.) His appeal was in his style. He just knew what a dude should look and sound like, no matter how old he was at the time.
As he got older, Marlon began to gain weight, but, amazingly, he still hasn't lost his label as one of the greatest sex symbols of all time. People remember the unforgettable Godfather. That, by the way, was before he was 50, and his popularity then was not only stellar, but cosmic. Everyone knew the name Marlon Brando. And a lot of people wanted him.
Nyle DiMarco
Why are we listing a man who's not even 40 yet? It's because of the business he's in and his beginnings.
Nyle is a model who won America's Next Top Model in 2015, which eventually opened its doors to men. Nyle not only became the first male to win, but he even made it through with his disability, which made it very difficult for him to complete the many disciplines the contestants had to go through - he is deaf.
It is common in modelling to start very early. It is not uncommon to see 14-year-old girls or 16-year-old boys among the adult models in agencies. Youth sells, and a model's or model's career is not the longest. Or at least it has been in the past. Today the tables are turning and just as we can see plus size beauties and beauties on the catwalks, we love to admire men and women in their thirties, forties or even older. Why not?!
Nyle won the contest when he was twenty-six years old. Isn't that a big deal? It is!
The first season of America's Next Top Model featured a swarthy beauty named Robin Manning, who was the same age as Nyle when he entered the competition thirteen years later. Robin really struggled with her age - she was reminded how good she had to be to even make it when she wasn't the youngest. From today's perspective, the America's Next Top Model contest is not only very controversial in this regard, which even the creators have acknowledged with some distance. In any case, it still managed to move on in some ways at the time of the broadcast, and Nyle really kicked off his career in a big way, regardless of the fact that he was neither eighteen nor twenty at the start, and on top of that, often couldn't hear the instructions that were essential to the tasks at hand. We applaud!
Robert Redford
Robert - believe it or not - is now a wonderful 86 years old. And he's still going strong! No need for long-windedness. You can still see Robert on the red carpet today, not only as an actor, but as a great director. He's also a keen environmentalist and, to make matters worse, he has an appealing closed-mindedness. An introvert who can inhabit a role and revels in its inner essence, this is something that arouses admiration and affection in many male and female fans, in addition to his undeniably attractive looks. He says he himself doesn't know how it is possible that he is so popular, and this adds to his sympathy. To quote his statement on CSFD: "Sometimes someone asks me how I've managed to stay on top of popularity for so many years. I can't answer that because I don't know. I basically do nothing for it." He's doing it right...
Jake Gyllenhaal
Jake, along with fellow actor Heath Ledger, portrayed the unforgettable pair from Brokeback Mountain. The iconic film is made even more powerful by the sad fact that one of the actors didn't even make it to 30.
Jake, now forty-one, has matured into an even more appealing version of his own self, and we're not afraid to say he's even more charming today than he was in 2005 as Jack Twist.
