Day Twenty-Three: Five Famous Men I Find Attractive

Rejoice with me, readers! I slept without interruption from 11pm to 4am. Hallelujah! Sure, from the time we put our daughter to bed at 7:30pm, she woke up three times before 11pm. And sure, she woke up just two hours after nursing at 4am. BUT I GOT 5 HOURS OF SLEEP IN A ROW! Praise God and a big thank you to those of you who have been praying for me.

Day Twenty-Three: Five Famous Men I Find Attractive

Mel Gibson

 Ever since I saw him in Lethal Weapon 3 in elementary school, I was hooked, even though he is old enough to be my father. In fact, I'm pretty sure he has a daughter my age. Then when Braveheart came out, my obsession was renewed. Anyway, this fixation lasted quite some time. That is until he let loose his now infamous anti-Semitic drivel in a drunken fit. Nothing like hating on the Jews to ruin your first love! And then there were the horrific taped phone calls of him threatening his girlfriend. Lovely. Sigh. Just goes to show you looks aren't everything!

Vin Diesel

I'm not a huge van of Vin Diesel's work (aka Mark Vincent). I can't even remember the first movie I saw him in. I guess I think he's good looking because he reminds me of my husband. I like that he's built but not scary built. He's a man, not some effeminate-looking guy that is a hit with the twelve year old girls because he's non-threatening due to his lack of masculinity (please see Justin Bieber, Robert Pattinson, et al.).

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson

I put two photos here because although he looks like a scary guy, when he smiles, he looks like the friendliest guy you'll ever meet. Once again, I admit that I find him attractive because of his similarities to my husband. I first saw him when he was known as The Rock and was wrestling. I didn't take much notice of him. It wasn't until he started doing movies and dropped his ridiculous wrestling persona that I grew to like him.

Gerard Butler

Okay, here's a guy that doesn't look like my husband! I first noticed this Scotsman in the movie P.S. I Love You starring Hilary Swank. First, I love his accent and second, the story is such romantic goo I couldn't help but find him attractive. It's too bad that in the movies he's doing now he masks his accent and the effect just isn't as endearing. If you want to see him half-naked, watch 300, the graphic-novel-made-movie about 300 Spartans who bested a Persian army of thousands in the year 400 BCE. It looks like his abs are painted on. They probably are.

My Hubby

So maybe he's not internationally known. Okay, so maybe he's not known nationally or even provincially. But he surpasses all these other men by far! He's attractive inside and out. I first met hubby when we were working at Burger King as teenagers. He was on the grill and I was a cashier. He likes to tell people that it was love at the first Whopper. And look! We've made our own little Whopper Jr. :) You can't beat that!
