Well, in SPN you can at least see that the guys are pretty (also pretty damn young - I miss lusting after John and Rodney or Don Eppes), and maybe with DT I'm not seeing him at his best... ah, anyway, I thought Klaus Maria Brandauer was more appealing, yes, although the VD his character gives Meryl Streep's sort of killed that in the movie ;)

Weeeeellll.... JA is. I actually think JP is extremely unattractive, but part of that is also the youth, which, yes, is not a strong point for me. Even when I was eleven (my first memory of thoughts like that), I liked men. David Krumholtz is a weird one because he always struck me as being such an old soul, even when he was 13-14 - not that I thought of him that way then! But Bernard is like a 15-year-old Walter Matthau, which is a trip. He's definitely one that the better he's acting, the more attractive he becomes, hence, S1 being his most attractive, no matter what his weight; I've never quite been able to shake Rob Morrow's Northern Exposure-era wankiness to respond to him that way.
DT is probably at his best-looking in Casanova, although I still find him irritatingly adolescent both physically and emotionally. I can't think he's going to age well.

Details, details ;-) Yeah, that was unpleasant. But fairly common in that day and age, alas.
Oh, you infidel! You say something against JP's looks! *giggles* Seriously, I totally GET THAT! I have these arguments with a friend of mine where she keeps saying that his face and forehead is weirdly unappealing. I have to defend JP's looks! OMG! Hmmm... let's say that he can look good in some shots, not as pretty as Jensen, but very few guys can look like Jensen, who is his teen pictures looks like a freakin Barbie doll. I mean, seriously, it's kind of disturbing.
RM's wankiness... I heard of it and tried to ignore it. Even the whiffs I got were enough to make me look away in embarrassment at the public asshattery, which is so unappealing.
Oh, coming back at JP's looks. I have to say, I have a VERY strong attraction to very tall men. It's - um - a thing I have. I'm not that tall, 1.72m, but in Mexico that was considered freakishly tall and tall men where sort of a rarity. So, yeah, tall men do it for me because they were so rare in RL :)

OMG, that's exactly it! To me, he looks like a baby (remember that other discussion?), and it's in partially because his forehead seems to be squished down around his little pea of a nose (I have the same problem with Peter MacNicol). Yeah, it's clearly an aesthetic choice for me - I tend to like high foreheads, high cheekbones, big eyes, long noses, and full mouths, and he's pretty much the opposite of all that. But I get the tall thing, too - I'm really short, just barely over five feet, so anyone is taller than me, and there are some small men who I think are beautiful (more RL than media-wise, because tiny guys rarely make it in commercial contexts). But Eccleston's long legs? Yeah.
There's an anthropological theory that people tend to go for either people who look very much like them (endogamous drive), or who are very different (exogamous), and I'm something like 98% exogamous in my tastes.
Jensen is very pretty, but more attractive now to me, because girly doesn't do it for me ;-)
