* Probably OlderThanSteam example - in "Willie O'Winsbury", the title character. The song starts with the king coming home from being imprisoned in Spain, finding his daughter Janet pregnant and Willie, father of the child, missing. At first, he wants to get Willie executed for this, but when the boy is finally found, the king is stunned by his beauty, leading to the immortal verse
--> "And it is no wonder" said the king\\

* OlderThanFeudalism: In Myth/GreekMythology, young men are considered suitable sex objects for mature men. For instance, the Spartan prince Hyacinthos was ''so'' handsome and athletic that both the [[BlowYouAway wind god]] Zephyrus and the god Apollo (one of the biggest [[TheCasanova Casanova]]s in the Greek pantheon -- after Zeus, that is) had HUGE StupidSexyFlanders over him and fought over his attention.

* Jimin of Music/{{BTS}} has caused this for many a straight men, to the point that "the Jimin effect" is an actual phrase in Urban Dictionary.
* Music/DavidBowie. The world is full of straight men who say "it's okay because it's Bowie". The man had this so much he was practically a sexual orientation unto himself (gay, straight, bi, [[ShapedLikeItself Bowie]]).
* The artists in the New Romantic genre OWN this trope, particularly Music/DuranDuran and Music/{{Japan}}.
* Both Matthew Bellamy and Dominic Howard of Music/{{Muse}}.



* Mike Patton of Music/FaithNoMore fame [[http://killthemic.blogspot.com/2008/01/am-i-only-one-who-finds-mike-patton.html inspires lust in both his female and male fans.]]
* Music/{{Queen}}'s Freddie Mercury, mainly in the '70s. But some also find his '80s appearance hot...amplified by the fact that he was bisexual.



* Music/JustinBieber, whose slightly androgynous, PrettyBoy appearance has attracted some men in addition to women.



* Japanese musician Music/{{Gackt}} has gone on many a TV show hosted by men, only to have them remark how beautiful they find him and how good he smells. The most extreme example was a show he did in 2009 where there were about six interviewers, all male, and every single one of them commented on his sex appeal. One went as far as to say that if Gackt kissed him, he would gladly have sex with the guy.

A much younger [[http://i755.photobucket.com/albums/xx200/BarbarellaSteele1975/6725_4dd5.jpg David Gilmour]] would also apply, thanks to his LongHairedPrettyBoy looks that easily [[DudeLooksLikeALady gets him mistaken for a woman]].

* Creator/AdamLevine. Black Shelton, his fellow coach on the ''LiveActionTv/TheVoice'' has gone as far as saying that he has a crush on Adam.

* Alcibiades of Athens (450BCE - 404BCE) was a Statesman, Orator, and General. His beauty was so renowned that it afforded him many admirers and lovers among men and women.
* Aaron Burr had two newspapers -- both written by men -- partially dedicated to ranting about his supposed sexual deviousness. Both included frequent descriptions of how attractive the writers found him, as well as claims that a lot of men felt the same way (and were somewhat upset about it).
* Creator/JamesMcAvoy's PrettyBoy looks have been noticed by some men:
** A male journalist from [[http://www.craveonline.ca/film/reviews/697385-filth-review-hot-scuzz CraveOnline.ca]] (who is presumably straight) gushes over the actor's attractiveness:
--->"When James [=McAvoy=] stares at himself naked in the mirror (and I think most of us would if we looked like James [=McAvoy=]), I have a sneaking suspicion that he scowls. He's such a damned pretty human being, but if you look at his films, he only really seems to get off on playing total bastards. The endangered subconscious of Simon from ''Trance''. The easily corrupted Dr. Garrigan from ''The Last King of Scotland''. Even Professor Charles Xavier seems kind of like a dickbag when James [=McAvoy=] gets a hold of him. [=McAvoy's=] boyish good looks and playful sleaziness make these scoundrels much more charismatic than they by all rights deserve, and his performance in ''Filth'' may be his assholish pièce de résistance."
** Creator/BenedictCumberbatch thinks that James is [[http://www.nowmagazine.co.uk/celebrity-news/545067/sherlock-star-benedict-cumberbatch-james-mcavoy-is-gorgeous-but-i-m-not-very-confident-about-my-looks gorgeous.]]
--->"I have wanted to play roles that have gone to much better-looking people than me and you think: 'Oh, well, that's the pin-up guy's part...' for an actor like my friend James [=McAvoy=], who's gorgeous on screen."
** Creator/DanielRadcliffe may have a bit of a [[http://hub.aa.com/en/aw/daniel-radcliffe-how-to-succeed-in-business-without-really-trying-new-york-city?zonemode=page3 man crush]] on [=McAvoy=]:
--->"I don't view my face as particularly interesting to watch, whereas some actors you can't take your eyes off, like James [=McAvoy=]. I think I could watch him read the phone book."
** [[http://messedup4good.tumblr.com/post/108205515243/jon-s-baird-on-james-mcavoys-eyes-i-love After complimenting James' "incredible blues"]] (referring to the actor's expressive eyes), Jon S. Baird then made a LoveConfession.
--->'''Baird:''' I love you, James.\\
'''James [=McAvoy=]:''' I think I'm going to get lucky tonight.
** After the first two official behind-the-scenes images of ''Film/VictorFrankenstein'' were released, [[http://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/33pdfu/first_official_look_at_james_mcavoy_daniel/ several heterosexual guys on Reddit were willing to admit that they find [=McAvoy=] attractive.]]
--->"[=McAvoy=] is lookin' Franken-fine."\\
"Please be a guy, so I'm not the only one that thinks this, too. Something about that guy. Handsome as all fuck. Yes, I'm jealous." \\
"Yup same here - Have man crush on him."\\
"My exact thoughts."\\
"I'm a straight (as straight as the Kinsey scale allows, anyway) dude, [=McAvoy=] is a damn fine looking dude. No shame in admitting that."\\
"He makes me question my sexuality"
** Fred Savage [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKpP2WKMGbc can't hide his admiration]] with comments like, "''Film/TheLastKingOfScotland'' is when I just kind of fell in love you" and "[[ArousedByTheirVoice I could listen you talk about anything]] [...] It's true, it's true! Describe something." James then replies that this is the first time a man has told him he likes listening to the sound of his voice.
* Sir Creator/MichaelRedgrave. There is an anecdote that playwright Creator/NoelCoward once told Redgrave's wife that he found Redgrave "so irresistibly charming." Redgrave's wife later commented, "I couldn't help but agree."
* Almost every journalist (and a lot of them are straight men) who has interviewed Creator/PierceBrosnan has acknowledged that he's incredibly handsome.
* Apparently, Creator/KevinBacon. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwBbMXYDsXw Seriously]]. Read the comments, especially toward the back. Eventually, we get one of the most fav'd comments: "I'm gay for Kevin Bacon. Oh wait, I'm a girl."
* Zeddie Watkins Little, better known as [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/ridiculously-photogenic-guy-zeddie-little "Ridiculously Photogenic Guy"]], is jokingly described this way.
* "[[ChickMagnet Benedict]] can't be here, sorry ladies... and guys."--Creator/JonnyLeeMiller accepting the Olivier Award he shares with Creator/BenedictCumberbatch for ''Theatre/{{Frankenstein|2011}}''.
%%* There are no straight men, only men who have not yet met Creator/JohnBarrowman.
* Creator/MikeMyers, speaking at the AFI Lifetime Achievement tribute to Creator/SeanConnery:
-->"Every woman wanted him and every man wanted to be with him. And there are those men who both wanted him ''and'' wanted to be with him. I'll admit, I have a man-crush."
* "Creator/NeilPatrickHarris is so manly, only another man could possibly satisfy him."
** There are blooper reels of Neil Patrick Harris and other male cast members on the set of ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'' doing rather homoerotic things spontaneously, up to and including [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svvYjyhIjv8#t=121 sensually kissing on the lips]]... and they are typically instigated by ''the other men''.
* Creator/JensenAckles is admitted to be this by even his co-stars. As Creator/MattCohen put it:
-->"He's like Prince. You look him [[WhatBeautifulEyes in the eye]], and you're definitely gay for a couple of seconds."
%%* Creator/RichardArmitage. It doesn't matter what role he's in, or how much of a tosser he's being, everyone wants Creator/RichardArmitage.
* Prince Harry seems to fit this role, [[http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/tue-may-14-2013/prince-harry-visits-america if John McCain's comment]] (seen at 1:10) is any indication.
* Creator/GeorgeClooney, as alluded to in [[http://www.theonion.com/articles/sources-george-clooney-looking-good,2346/ this Onion article]].
* In her column, Juliette Frette once wrote: "many people enjoy seeing Creator/RyanReynolds shirtless -- namely his female (and male) fans".
* According to [[https://www.therichest.com/rich-list/most-popular/20-celebrity-men-that-guys-will-go-gay-for/ therichest.com]], the male celebrity guys would question their sexuality over the most? Creator/RyanGosling.
* From the Celebrity Nude Database: A lot of [[http://cndb.com/rob-lowe-c25496 these reviews]] of Rob Lowe's nude scenes are written by guys.
* Any of the men mentioned in Creator/RoveMcManus' standard interview question "Who would you turn gay for?" Rove's own answer seems to be Creator/HughJackman, as per 1:53 of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mM4tqudxus this clip]]
* Creator/ChrisPine [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3zCJAq9WaM has admitted]] to having a man-crush on his Star Trek co-star Creator/KarlUrban.
%%* Creator/NathanFillion is this. To everyone.
* On his blog, Oscar Reymundo [[http://confessionsofaboytoy.com/2014/01/05/photos-25-sexiest-male-athletes-in-the-world showcases]] the 25 sexiest male athletes and they all appear [[ShirtlessScene with their shirts off]].
* Creator/JaredPadalecki has said of co-star Creator/MishaCollins, "With those big blue eyes, he can't play a demon. They're like, 'awww...he's too pretty'."
* Kacey boy on radio station WMMR "Preston and Steve" said he'd be willing to have sex with Creator/BradleyCooper.
** A Cracked contributor once outright stated that he would also be willing to have sex with Bradley Cooper, [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday all while insisting that he's straight]].[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-zcfN1RMDU&t=494s]]
* Creator/EddieRedmayne is a handsome man. But when he finally got into costume to play [[Film/TheDanishGirl Lili]], even his co-stars had to take a step back and just look at him in awe.
* According to Lord Chesterfield, John Churchill was irresistible to both sexes in his youth.
* After Creator/JohnBoyega's was asked what it was like to work with Creator/OscarIsaac in an interview [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-zcfN1RMDU&t=494s link]], he was described by the interviewer to be very dreamy, handsome and beautiful. Boyega then admits: "honestly, it's hard looking away from his face, cause good lord is he handsome."
* Creator/JosephGordonLevitt has this reputation among gay men. Being something of a (former) live-action {{Bishonen}} who's graduated to roles in indie films and science fiction as an adult probably helps.
* Former Dallas Mavericks Power Forward/Center Dirk Nowitzki has this effect on NBA fans.
* Creator/RamiMalek admits to have a man crush on Creator/RobertDowneyJr when sitting across from him on ''The Ellen Show''.
* After Creator/PedroPascal charmed ''Series/GameOfThrones'' fans as bisexual prince Oberyn Martell, straight men dedicated a Reddit group to admitting that they had fallen in love with him, [[https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/tv/la-ca-st-sunday-conversation-pedro-pascal-20170922-htmlstory.html to Pascal's delight]].
-->It's so wonderful. I think it's all a spectrum, right? Straight men can have — do have — crushes on other men. It doesn't make them gay, it doesn't make them bi. I was super-flattered. The guys that picked on me in middle school in Corona del Mar probably have a crush on me now. Maybe [[LovingBully they had a crush on me then]] and that's why they picked on me.
* Roland Orzabal, the main songwriter of Music/TearsForFears, reveals in [[https://www.vice.com/en/article/65jvzr/how-we-wrote-our-first-record-tears-for-fears-revisit-the-hurting this interview]] that his childhood friend and fellow bandmate Curt Smith has always been [[TheMuse his muse]] (which traditionally carries a romantic/sexual connotation). [[note]]It's interesting to note that Orzabal composed a song called "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAiJ-MA052k When in Love with a Blind Man]]" which is about [[AllLoveIsUnrequited unrequited love]] for a man.[[/note]] In BBC's ''Series/ClassicAlbums - Tears for Fears: Songs from the Big Chair'' documentary, Orzabal acknowledges that Smith was physically attractive.
-->'''Orzabal''': We were young, we were both good-looking, [[LongHairedPrettyBoy especially Curt]].
** Roland's man crush on Curt is more obvious when they appeared on a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4t50wSqF09A&t=5m11s French talk show.]] (Another guest was so stunned that a supposedly straight guy would ogle at his male buddy that he asked the band if they were gay.)
--->'''Orzabal''': [[EatingTheEyeCandy I just wanted to see Curt jogging every morning with his hairy legs and shorts, all smiley and handsome.]]
** TFF collaborator Michael Wainwright admitted in a [[https://twitter.com/wainwrightweets/status/1323089487413551105 tweet]] that Smith was hot, hot enough that Wainwright initially believed that he must have been staring at a photo of a hot ''[[DudeLooksLikeALady woman]]''. He obviously wasn't aware that Smith was a RareMaleExample of someone who sometimes wore short shorts.
--->'''Wainwright''': I just clicked on this pic because I thought it was a hot girl. It's not. It's a hot Curt. ("pervy" eyes emoji) @curtsmith #woops
* Morten Harket. He has a large legion of both male and female fans, whom many admit that he still is attractive, and that he is a damn fine human being.
* Creator/SteveIrwin once played wingman for his publicist; when said publicist revealed that he was, in fact, gay, it didn't matter a fig to Steve, since, as he put it, "Blokes love me!" (Considering his dynamic personality and his adventurous lifestyle, it's not hard to see why.)
* Creator/HenryCavill is subject to this, especially since Netflix cast him in ''Series/TheWitcher2019''. The fan groups on Facebook contain just as many thirsty comments from men as they do from women, even from several men who profess to being straight but declare that they'd make an exception for him. When he [[https://youtu.be/jaDnf-p8Yr8 appeared on Graham Norton's show]] promoting the DC film universe, Graham proposed that he put away his question cards for a few minutes and everyone would "just stare at Henry for a while." He then tried to get Creator/RussellCrowe to admit that even he would go for Henry (who looked both amused and rather perplexed by the whole thing).
* Liverpool F.C. goalkeeper Alisson is known to be adored by the fanbase, and both female and male fans find him attractive. There's a reason he went viral at the World Cup in 2018, and is nicknamed the 'Big Beautiful Brazilian' by fans. Even the Brazil national team fans have noticed, and now chant 'Oooh, lindo!' (Ooh, Handsome!) whenever he kicks the ball.

* Creator/HenryCavill is subject to this, especially since Netflix cast him in ''Series/TheWitcher''. The fan groups on Facebook contain just as many thirsty comments from men as they do from women, even from several men who profess to being straight but declare that they'd make an exception for him. When he [[https://youtu.be/jaDnf-p8Yr8 appeared on Graham Norton's show]] promoting the DC film universe, Graham proposed that he put away his question cards for a few minutes and everyone would "just stare at Henry for a while." He then tried to get Creator/RussellCrowe to admit that even he would go for Henry (who looked both amused and rather perplexed by the whole thing).

dewicked Shes Got Legs


** TFF collaborator Michael Wainwright admitted in a [[https://twitter.com/wainwrightweets/status/1323089487413551105 tweet]] that Smith was hot, hot enough that Wainwright initially believed that he must have been staring at a photo of a hot ''[[DudeLooksLikeALady woman]]''. He obviously wasn't aware that Smith was a RareMaleExample of ShesGotLegs who sometimes wore short shorts.

** Harley and Ivy both think that the Joker [[FoeYay only has eyes for Batman]] (and Harley is in love with the Joker) and the Joker has often professed affection towards Batman (complete with moments of desperate attention-needing). In the macabre ''Comicbook/ArkhamAsylumASeriousHouseOnSeriousEarth'', which is a canon ''Batman'' comic, Joker slaps Batman on the butt and continually hits on him throughout the comic. The pages are lined with homoerotic content and an unnatural level of sexual tension. Several canon Batman comics have the Joker professing a sexual fascination with Batman, to [[ILoveTheDead nightmarish]] [[{{Yandere}} extents]]. This extends across some adaptions. He outright says Batman has a cute little ass in Arkham video games.

** Hugo Strange gets plenty of FoeYay with Batman throughout the years. In the Terror storyline of Legends of the Dark Knight, he is in a "relationship" with a female mannequin wearing lingerie and a cowl like Batman's.
** Scarecrow pretty much has a huge fetish for fear. Batman is the only thing that scares him anymore and so he keeps fighting him so that he can feel that sweet taste of fear once again. There's also a twisted FoeYay tension to him constantly attempting to break Batman's mind down through fear and expressing a dominant nature in ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum''.

There's a reason he went viral at the World Cup in 2018, and is nicknamed the 'Big Beautiful Brazilian' by fans. Even the Brazil national team fans have noticed, and now chant 'Oooh, lindo!' (Ooh, Handsome!) whenever he kicks the ball.
