MALE EDITION
Treading quietly and carefully and hoping that no one notices, here are the democratically elected nominees for Hot or Not (democratic because several female MILFers contributed their POVs. This was a group effort, people). I.e. They’re gents that we’re attracted to and can’t quite figure out if they’re hot. Please do not misconstrue this as man-hating, man-worshipping or general angry-making. We love men, particularly when they’re shirtless. All these lads are rather talented fellows, too. So: are they hot or not?
TONS of credit goes to Susannah, with whom much debate was had. She found a bunch of the pics and did the slider.
DANIEL CRAIG
Pros: Dude is James Bond. Lovely blue eyes, fantabulous body (see above). He’s also got that sophisticated English thing going on, but isn’t afraid to get dirty/sweaty … ahem.
Cons: Not what one would call ‘classically handsome’—taken one at a time, all his features don’t quite match up. Always looks like he’s staring into the sun. And his James Bond’s coolest gadget is a defibrillator, which is decidedly not sexy.
ADRIEN BRODY
Pros: Floppy hair, bright smile, Oscar winner. Sense of humor, and ability to make out with Halle Berry (if you’re into voyeurism).
Cons: That nose. What’s up with that? Questionable facial hair in more recent months. A tad skinny for my taste.
JASON SEGEL
Pros: He’s a living muppet! And the nicest person on the planet. Adorable, huggable, warm and fuzzy.
Cons: He’s a living muppet. Do we really think muppets are hot? He’s also, like, 20 feet tall. So, a really big muppet.
RYAN GOSLING
Pros: So very, very pretty: blond hair, blue eyes, nice abs, great physique. That quiet, intense gaze. Can pull off a satin jacket. Plus, he’s a meme.
Cons: He either looks like a hobo or a sex god; there does not appear to be any in between. Despite the meme, I cannot imagine him being a normal person.
VINCENT CASSEL
Pros: The Gallic cool, a la Jean-Paul Belmondo. So suave he can out-suave George Clooney. He’s married to Monica Bellucci, which means he must be doing something sexy.
Cons: Creepy, at times terrifying (see Black Swan, Eastern Promises, and … almost anything he’s ever been in). Again, not classically handsome or even pretty in the best of lights. Not even remotely huggable.
Honorable mention (cause we love men so much that five was not enough!)
PETER SELLERS
Pros: He’s Peter Sellers!
Cons: He’s Peter Sellers.

I AM OFFENDED!
-Jason
SUCCESS!
Ooh!
Daniel Craig- Hot
Adrien Brody- I love that nose! That’s hot and so is the man.
Jason Segel- Funny, not hot.
Ryan Gosling- Always hot. Even if he’s partly bald.
Vincent Cassel- Hot when he’s playing the rich, cocky guy.
Peter Sellers- Again, funny and not hot.
Daniel Craig- Ugh, I am in love with the man.
Adrien Brody- Scratch that. I am in love with this man. Adrien is a damn dreamboat. Those Stella Artois commercials anyone? And Predators?? SWOON.
Jason Segel- I think he’s sweet but I’m not into him. I know my partner in crime Jess thinks differently though.
Ryan Gosling- I can’t believe Ryan Gosling’s hotness is even up for debate!
Vincent Cassel- He can be hot but he’s not for me.
Peter Sellers- Again, not my cup of tea.

Daniel Craig – We could make it work.
Adrien Brody – Maybe, but I’d be afraid he turn into a psychopath.
Jason Segel – I’d say he’s attractive, but in that “oh, I’d love to have a serious relationship with you” type way, not the “take me to bed, NOW” type way.
Ryan Gosling – OH GOD YES!!!!
Vincent Cassel – Depends. How much have I had to drink?
Peter Sellers – …
Oh my what a list! Vincent Cassel has my vote he may creep me out anytime!
Daniel Craig – Hot… old hot, lots of dad strength
Adrien Brody – not
Jason Segel – not, but great uncle dong
Ryan Gosling – Hot, lots o talent
Vincent Cassel – Hot, lots o swarthy-ness
Peter Sellers – not
dong dong dong dong dong…..

Daniel Craig – Dare I say, SMOKING hot
Adrien Brody – Oh god he is definitely hot. Especially because of that conk
Jason Segel – I do find him incredibly endearing and definitely attractive but I wouldn’t go so far as to use the word hot
Ryan Gosling – Obviously hot like duh. He was French Toast Sunday’s Babe of the Year 2011 in fact!
Vincent Cassel – Not hot. I have never felt attracted to him ever.
Peter Sellers – Sorry, but not hot. Maybe sort of cute.
Daniel Craig – I used to have the most massive crush on him when I was 11. He’s still got it…but sometimes he scares me.
Adrien Brody – HOT
Jason Segel – Cute and cuddly, but maybe not hot.
Ryan Gosling – HOT!!!!!!!
Vincent Cassel – Yeah…no.

Love that you did this post!
Craig, Brody & Gossling are hot. Segel is cute and charming. Ambivalent to the other two.
Aw, so little love for Mr. Sellers. Granted, I suppose I don’t really think he’s hot from the purely surface point of view, but there’s something about funny guys.
To steal Tina Fey’s comment about Mark Wahlberg: Gosling’s chest is prettier than my face.
Great work, Lauren! Jason, glad we were able to offend you, that’s not an easy task.
Here’s my take:
Daniel Craig- So NOT Hot, has duck face like Renee Zelwegger
Adrien Brody- Hot in a different sort of way.
Jason Segel- So very hot
Ryan Gosling- Mildly hot – sometimes.
Vincent Cassel- Kind of scares me
Peter Sellers- Again, funny and not hot.
Daniel Craig – I found him hot only in Dragon Tattoo
Adrien Brody – sometimes hot
Jason Segel – Not hot
Ryan Gosling – Hot, but a bit too boyish for my taste
Vincent Cassel – Not hot
Peter Sellers- not hot.
I actually am kind of offended, but not for the post itself… anyway…
Yes on Gosling’s body. Yes on Segel’s personality. Maybe on Peter Sellers. No on everyone else.

Craig – put that head on a different body (say, Brody’s) and his hotness goes way down. He’s just a bit clunky in the face. Still, I get it, ladies. He’s a hunk.
Brody – I definitely get it. That schnozz is schnozztastic, but he’s got an undeniable appeal. I developed a man-crush on him way back when I think I first saw him in Summer of Sam.
Segel – Not hot, but yes, tremendously cute.
Gosling – Sure, his eyes are a bit too close together, but the man is hot in all other fashions, for sure.
Cassel – In the Brody vein, but much skeevier. If I were a woman looking to hook up with a sleazy/charming French guy for a night, I’d think I could do a lot worse.
Sellers – WTF?
Daniel Craig – Totally fits on a hot guy wall. Especially that picyute to the left. That was always a favourite with me…
Adrien Brody – Yeah, he’d get a spot on that wall
Jason Segel – Depends on how big the wall is. He’s got a nice smile. And he’s funny
Ryan Gosling – Hot, hot hot!!!
Vincent Cassel – He’s a hot baddie
Peter Sellers – Never got it, but that’s OK
