Empire Magazine's 100 Sexiest Stars

December 8th 2007 02:07

Well, I thought my list days were over, but they’re not. I have one more to share with you and I promise that is it, my list-making days are finished.

The highly revered Empire Magazine has just released its 100 Sexiest Movie Stars countdown. I thought it seemed logical to write about it as my last post, Total Film’s Top 50 Villains was bordering on the Hottest Star List, for me and others anyway (hello Ash).

There are some interesting and unexpected people in there; I wasn’t expecting people to have such strong memories and include classic actors, such as Brigitte Bardot, James Dean, Catherine Deneuve, and Lauren Bacall. This is one of the things I like about looking at such compilations, seeing who other people remember and admire.

Some of the actors may not be so well-known to us here in Australia, as Empire is an English magazine, but I think we're all familiar with the person at number one...

As always, feel free to comment, moan, add to the list or just salivate. As I wrote, I couldn’t resist making some comments (of course):

100 Mary Elizabeth Winstead
99 Chris Evans
98 Brigitte Bardot (definitely)

97 Thandie Newton
96 Lucy Liu
95 James Dean
94 Isla Fisher (hello Aussie)
93 Zac Efron
92 Catherine Deneuve
91 Jamie Foxx
90 Elizabeth Taylor
89 Clint Eastwood
88 Sienna Miller
87 Warren Beatty
86 Jane Fonda
85 Al Pacino
84 Katherine Heigl
83 Alan Rickman (yep, I like him).
82 Susan Sarandon
81 Tom Cruise (I have to say urghh)
80 Sarah Michelle Gellar
79 Heath Ledger (good to see him)
78 Sofia Loren
77 Richard Gere (yeppie)
76 Uma Thurman
75 Ryan Gosling
74 Sigourney Weaver
73 Javier Bardem
72 Gary Oldman (most definitely)
71 Lauren Bacall
70 John Cusack
69 Viggo Mortensen (oh yes)
68 Rachel McAdams
67 Ryan Reynolds
66 Sandra Bullock
65 Gael Garcia Bernal (oh yes again)
64 Eva Mendes (I thought she would be further down the list)
63 Reese Witherspoon
62 Audrey Tautou (I guess it’s those expressive,French eyes)
61 Eric Bana (gosh, I can’t see this one).
60 Liv Tyler
59 Rita Hayworth
58 Will Smith
57 Julia Roberts
56 Megan Fox
55 Jason Statham
54 Jennifer Connelly
53 Robert Redford
52 Jennifer Aniston (I assumed she would be in here somewhere)
51 Clark Gable
50 Penelope Cruz
49 Sean Connery
48 Cary Grant
47 Cameron Diaz
46 Harrison Ford
45 Catherine Zeta-Jones (Being half-Welsh she gets my vote)
44 Bruce Willis (hmmm, not for me)
43 Rosario Dawson
42 Steve McQueen
41 Nicole Kidman (am I the only one who thinks she’s looking more and more peculiar these days?)
40 Ewan McGregor (yeppie)
39 Grace Kelly
38 Denzel Washington
37 Rachel Weisz
36 Leonardo DiCaprio
35 Monica Belluccci
34 Russell Crowe (no, thank-you)

27 James McAvoy
26 Emma Watson

24 Salma Hayek
23 Daniel Radcliffe
22 Kate Beckinsale
21 Orlando Bloom (not bad in an obvious kind of way)
20 Kate Winslet
19 Paul Newman
18 Anne Hathaway
17 Matt Damon
16 Jessica Biel
15 Hugh Jackman
14 Marilyn Monroe
13 Christian Bale (yes please)
12 Halle Berry
11 George Clooney
10 Gerard Butler
9 Keira Knightley (OK, she really gets on my nerves, why is she in here?)
8 Scarlett Johansson
7 Brad Pitt (oh yes please).

I LOVE THIS!

OK, I don't agree with Angelina number one, or Alba. And Daniel Craig shouldn't be quite so high. YES to Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet NO to Biel and Hathaway - she is so not sexy.

Generally I agree with all your little comments Tracy!

Love the pic

Hi Michaelie

I'm glad you enjoyed the list, I liked it too.

I agree that Daniel Craig shouldn't be so high although I think he is pretty hot. I think he should be about number 20.

I would be happy with Jake G or Johnny D being number one...and yes, I love the pic too....phwoarrh..

Thanks for your comments as always,

Tracy

I'll have Paul Newman, Sean Connery and maybe Richard Gere, but they are all role playing, I don't know whether they could deliver the goods, sex takes place between the ears, for gals anyway.

MEN: (goes first as we share this in common!)

Johnny Depp....WOOF!! and WOOF!! WOOF!! WOOF!! ....gasp!

Orlando Bloom WOOF...but...looks like a real pain to get along with, especially from what I heard about his attitude in Nooo Zeeelund while filming "Lord of the Rings"! But, for a quickie...yeaaaahHHH baby!

Hugh Jackman...not bad at all, definitely groovy baby!

Jake Gyllenhaal....WOOF WOOF!!!

Denzel Washington...PANT PANT DE-PANT PANTHER!!

Cary Grant...love a sense of humour...adn he batted for my team...sigh

Will Smith...YEAH BABY...cute..tall...dark...ha ndsome...big ears to hang on to..big..

Heath Ledger...no water sports with him...err..no water pistols I mean! But WOOF!

James Dean...known as the "human ashtray" in the book Hollywood Babylon! But WOOF! and he batted for my team...but a sub-section that I am not really into...!

GOILS DE OLIVE OILS:

Marylin Monroe...FABULOUS...andfunny!

Rita Hayworth...FABULOUS

Kate Winslet not bad!

Salma Hayek..GORGEOUS!! Loved that monobrow in the artist movie!

Halle Berry...GODDAMMM HOT!!!

Cameron Diaz ...grooovy baby!

Audrey Tautou FABULOUS! LOVED her in Amélie...God I loved that movie!

Jane Fonda..BARBARELLA!! GO GIRL!! and for having the guts to try and find out the other side of the story in Vietnam...history has now proved it was another trumped up war.

Marlene Diedrich...c'mon...she was a super star for her looks...and a bit of acting, broke her leg falling off a stage in Oz!

Julia Roberts...because she looks like she would be a fun friend and she did the Erin Brockovich movie...go gurrrl!!

Ingrid Berman...What would Casablanca have been without her? Or For Whom the Bell Tolls!
She had grace, poise, character and integrity, and it all shone through to the skin, all the way from her heart!

cheers

fog

P.S. I know...it looks like, all the men are just sex objects and the women have so much more to admire about them, in my list.
However, which woman among you would disagree me?

81 Tom Cruise (I have to say urghh)

Me too..I don't like him, personality-wise or looks-wise.

I so agree with Paul Newman! I love him.

George Clooney: Yes

I thought Jennifer Connely should be closer to the top - she's great. I really like her.

Jessica Biel shouldn't be so close to the top. She's pretty, but not sexy.

I like Angelina, but she's so overexposed at this point.

That’s true, katyzzz. Sex appeal isn’t all in the looks, it involves other things too.

Thanks for popping in,

Hello fog

It looks like you put a lot of thought into your answer and we have a few in common:

Johnny D
Jake G
Heath L
James D

I like the women you’ve chosen too, especially Ingrid Bergman and Jane Fonda. Ingrid certainly had a lot more than just sex appeal and I loved Barbarella too. The other women on the list that I admire are:

Brigitte Bardot
Sofia Loren
Uma Thurman
Cate Blanchett
Kate Winslett
Natalie Portman

Angelina Jolie is alright, but she's everywhere at the moment which puts me off choosing her (I can be so contrary).

Thanks for commenting,

Tracy

Glad you're happy with the females on the list. I can see why, there's a few saucy ones in there.

Hello Patricia

I agree with what you said about Angelina, she is a good actor, is interesting and has some depth, but she’s everywhere which I find off-putting.

I also agree with you about Jessica Biel, she’s just OK.

I’m glad I have some company with my disdain for Tom Cruise. Like you said, it’s his personality and looks that don’t appeal to me, but I would say his personality is the strongest part I don’t like. Both Paul Newman and Jennifer Connelly are good actors, yeppie.

Thanks for your comments,

Tracy

You're right, what a travesty...why isn't she in there?!

Audrey Hepburn wasn't on the list? Well, the magazine can stay on the shelf until it sees the error of it's ways Tracy, and why would we want an anorexic poster child in the number one spot? Not this curve appreciating rascal. Raven

That's quite an apt description, Raven. Yes, I don't understand where Hepgurn is either, they have many other classic actors like Sofia Loren and Brigitte Bardot, it doesn't make sense really.

OK......HOLD THE BUS!

Isla Fisher!!! In the top 100?? PLEASE!

She wouldn't even make the top 1000 in my opinion.

(She brings out the rage in me - dunno why?!)

Hey Tracy

Sandra Bullock just exudes that girl next door, I don't have to try too hard sex appeal - that makes her the kind of person you could genuinely believe is just plain normal - huh!

Now as for the superficial choices (and the older she gets - the more personable she becomes) - put me down for Christina Applegate as a bolter.

Cheers

Hi JoH

Yes, I was perplexed by her presence too. All she’s really done is The Wedding Crashers and put up with Borat. That doesn’t really make her worthy of a spot in this list if you ask me.

Nice to see you,

Tracy

Hi MNG

Yes, Sandra Bullock does ooze a subtle sex appeal without seeming as though she has to try too hard.

Christina Applegate, interesting choice, I had forgotten about her.

Byee, thanks for your comments,

I'm happy that Viggo is there, but he would probably be #1 on my list. Jake G is distractingly delicious-looking, and I find Scarlett very sexy too. Yay to George Clooney, Charlize Theron, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. I would have liked to see Eliza Dushku up there.
Thanks for the list!

Hello PM

It sounds like it's a very pleasing list for you! I would be happy to have a chin-wag with Jake, such a delectable-looking man.

Glad you enjoyed it!

If this is sexiest of all time, Where the heck is Kathleen Turner? She was the sexiest women in the 80's and early 90's. Does Maddie Walker ring a bell? Hell, she is sexier than Susan Surandon. Who came up with this list?
