Yesterday Elizabeth enlightened me on the hottest men from 1910-1950. Since I have very little knowledge of the hottest men of yesteryear, she got very little pushback. Today…I have some opinions!
[Click HERE to read our earlier conversation and what led to Elizabeth saying…]
Elizabeth: Just to splash some cold water on you
Elizabeth: For the 1960s I have again chosen Cary Grant, because his perfection cannot be contained by one decade.
Tricia: HAHAHA
Elizabeth: I realize this is cheating, and I don’t care.
Tricia: I approve of your cheating.
Truly Hot Men are Always Hot
Elizabeth: My favorite movie with him, Charade, came out in 1963
It’s definitive proof that funny men are 1,000% hotter
Tricia: We watched that together, right??
Elizabeth: Not together.
Tricia: Wait. Which Cary Grant movie did we watch? Oh, with a cat burglar?
Elizabeth: To Catch a Thief
the one with the striped shirt from earlier
Tricia: Oh, yes!
You’ve been educating me on Cary Grant for a while now!
A+ friend award to YOU!
Elizabeth: This is my contribution to the world
Tricia: I do love a man who lets things be thrown on him.
And who casually disregards the inconvenience.
Elizabeth: Okay, moving on
I think you already know who I’ve selected for the 1970s –
ROBERT REDFORD. God bless America and Robert Redford’s amber waves of beautiful, beautiful hair.
Tricia: ROBERT REDFORD MY DARLING
Elizabeth: (I know I sent you this same gif like twice already, but I honestly don’t believe there’s a better one out there)
Tricia: There’s not. This is human perfection.
I’ve seen a lot of Greek statues around lately, and HE WOULD FIT RIGHT IN
Tricia: Hahaha!
Sassy AND hot! The best combination!
(this may be why I am so often attracted to gay men)
Elizabeth: There’s nothing more I can say about Robert; the pictures speak for themselves, I think.
Tricia: Yes, and I don’t know if I can handle much more.
1980s!
I know who I WANT…
Elizabeth: 1980s – this was actually a tough decade for me. I had to think about it quite a bit.
Tricia: A hard thing to think about
I’m sure
Elizabeth: I finally picked Harrison Ford, but am open to suggestions.
(I made this decision by Googling “top movies 1980s;” nobody from this decade made a great impression on me, apparently.)
Elizabeth: (Yes, I know this is from a 1977 movie, but I don’t care; the ’80s sucked.)
Tricia: Ah, okay. I can be okay with this.
But I was one of the minority of people who was all “LUKE SKYWALKER who cares about Han Solo” so…
Elizabeth: Who was your pick? Because I’m really not happy with this
Tricia: …Jeff Goldblum
Elizabeth: hahahaha
I mean
okay
(the ’80s sucked)
Tricia: Sexy sexy nerd vibes.
Elizabeth: Okay, okay, the glasses pic is good
Tricia: …I’m going to get very opinionated from now on. We’re getting into my media lifetime.
Who you got for the 1990s?
It better be JTT! (lol lol just kidding)
Elizabeth: YES, bring on the opinions!
(please try to forget I didn’t know who JTT was until like a month ago)
Tricia: I have already blocked this shameful knowledge from my memory
Elizabeth: The 1990s were also a difficult decade for me. The obvious ones are Leo and Brad, but I felt meh about the ’90s in general. Great decade for romantic comedies, but I am ambivalent about the men.
I finally settled on Heath Ledger in 10 Things I Hate About You, which came out in 1999.
Tricia: YESSSSSSSSSS
YESSSSSSSS
YESSSSSSSSS
OH NO I’M STUCK
You have literally chosen my all-time Most Hottest DREAMBOATIEST man of my entire lustful existence.
Elizabeth: He is BEAUTIFUL.
Tricia: He IS
You know how most men look either hot OR nice? He looks both hot AND nice.
Elizabeth: aww so true
Tricia: It is an extremely rare occurrence
Elizabeth: Well, Cary Grant!
Tricia: Okay, but…Cary Grant is more HANDSOME.
Heath Ledger is definitely hot.
Elizabeth: mmkay, fair
For 2000s, we have George Clooney, the closest living successor to Cary Grant
Tricia: Hm
Elizabeth: “Hm”???
come ON, Tricia
He has the eyebrows and everything!
Tricia: You have now chosen “Cary Grant” THREE TIMES, ELIZABETH
Your preferences are showing
Elizabeth: I mean, I have been saying for the past six decades that Cary Grant is the most perfect man ever to exist, so.
Don’t know why you’re surprised.
Tricia: I counter your “Knock-Off Cary Grant” with my own “Knock-Off Robert Redford”
Elizabeth: ???
Elizabeth: psh
Tricia: Actual Greek God
Elizabeth: Maybe it’s the unfortunate spike 2000s hair, but I don’t believe he has as much of a sensitive side as Robert Redford does.
Tricia: Well, he did adopt a bunch of kids
Elizabeth: Well, but forget the kids; don’t you think Robert Redford would be a better kisser?
I mean
Tricia: Hmmmm…I’m willing to test them both and let you know
STOP IT WITH THAT GIF
Ah, here, for both of us…
Elizabeth: Okay, see, that hair is better.
Tricia: Anyway, I’m arguing for him over GEORGE CLOONEY. I won’t step on your other decades.
Give the 2000s to Brad Pitt and let’s see what you’ve got for the 2010s
Did you go that far?
Elizabeth: I did! The present:
Tricia: I’m so nervous.
Tricia: YESYEYSYESYSYSYSS
Elizabeth: Obviously.
Tricia: Why was I nervous!?!?!?
lol
Elizabeth: As if I would pick anyone else!
Tricia: See Also: Hot AND Nice
Elizabeth: YES
Tricia: Oh God, my whole body is having a seizure
I got so distracted by all those other men, but HIS EYEBROWS AND SMILE
Truly the hottest man on earth (sorry Cary Grant)
Elizabeth: Well, Cary is dead, so
not to put too fine a point on it
Tricia: You are so callous, I LOVE IT
Elizabeth: So what have we learned?
We love white boys with great hair who love to laugh?
Tricia: We’re so basic.
Even though we didn’t include his name, regular readers of the blog will no doubt recognize our 2010s pick as Tom Hiddleston.

We never said his name!? Hahahaa! Well, honestly, it shouldn’t be necessary. !

I have to admit, I didn’t know who Tom Hiddleston was before reading your post. You have opened my eyes!! Haha. And I’m in 100% agreement with you about Heath Ledger. I really enjoyed reading this 🙂
