December 24 - Paul Newman


Each day in December I'll be celebrating a handsome man. You may ask why, but there's no meaningful reply I can give other than: why not? They'll be revealed over the next 31 days in strict alphabetical order, so no favouritism. And you never know, I might celebrate 31 women in January...!

PAUL NEWMAN, 1925-2008
Another contender for one of the best looking men in Hollywood history, along with Clift and Brando, and maybe Hudson. But Paul Newman had a real sensitivity, and a different look to the others. He had piercingly beautiful eyes and a vulnerability that Brando and Hudson rarely let show (Clift did in spades, though!). Paul looks fantastic in films like Cool Hand Luke, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and The Long, Hot Summer, and he continued to make good films into old age - The Hudsucker Proxy, Road to Perdition, and of course The Color of Money.


I mean, just... wow!
