10. Marvin Gaye
he American born soul legend arguably penned some of the sexist lyrics and beats of all time, as notorious now as they were in his 70’s heyday. Songs like Sexual Healing and Let’s Get It On could be the reason many of us were conceived in the first place. I Heard It Through the Grapevine is the best-selling Motown single of all time earning him the nickname ‘The Prince of Soul’, and he inspired the likes of Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder and Jay Z to name a few.
9. Clarke Gable G
able was the greatest actor of the 30’s, being called the ‘The King of Hollywood’ when films were becoming hugely popular. His signature moustache made women everywhere fall head over heels for his charms, even Doris Day said he had “a devastating effect on women”. His most famous role as Rhett Butler in the 1939 civil war epic Gone with the Wind, gave him the memorable and brilliant line “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn”.
8. Tony Curtis G
irls love a boy to make them laugh, so it’s no wonder Curtis has made it onto the list, the veritable heartthrob was the star of numerous Hollywood hits such as Sweet Smell Of Success (1957) and perhaps most famously, the classic comedy Some Like It Hot (1959) where he wooed Marilyn Monroe. He turned knees to jelly in Spartacus (1960) and has had six wives (so far), the first being the star of Psycho Janet Leigh, with whom he had daughter and fellow actor Jamie Lee Curtis.
7. Sean Connery C
onsidered by many the greatest Scott alive, Sir Sean Connery was the first man to play Bond in Dr. No (1962) and has remained a sex symbol for decades. The recently retired twice married 78 year old was, in 1989, at almost 60 years of age voted People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive. When advised of the award, Sean seemed to be unaffected as he replied, “Well there aren’t many sexy dead men, are there.” Generations of men have wanted to be him, and countless women have wanted to be with him.
