Man Candy Monday (OLD Man Candy)

So. I kind of have a crush.  On two old men.

No, I’m not being weird and gross.  I think these two old men were hot, when they were young men. 

See, I watched both The Way We Were and Love Story last week.  Ever since I saw the episode of SATC when Carrie relates to the character of Katie (and identifies Big as Hubbell) in The Way We Were, I’ve been wanting to see it.

Then, I watched an old episode of Oprah not long ago where she was chatting with the stars of the chick flick classic Love Story, so I added it to my list of old movies I wanted to see, too.

I bought both movies and really enjoyed them.  I liked The Way We Were better than Love Story, but I was glad I saw both of them.

And that brings me to my two new old man crushes.

Robert Redford and Ryan O’Neal.  Young Robert Redford and Ryan O’Neal.  Not the 75- and 70-year-old men they are now.  That would be creepy.

Take a look:

 

Redford as Hubbell in The Way We Were

Um…yeah.  Hot.

 With co-star Barbara Streisand, who played Katie in The Way We Were

 O’Neal as Oliver Barrett IV in Love Story

Love.  Love this face.

 With co-star Ali McGraw, who played Jenny Cavalleri  in Love Story

There’s just something about black-and-white photos of old movie stars in their prime…am I right??

So.  I know I’m not the first one to discover these guys.  They’ve kind of been famous for, like, fifty years.

Doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate ‘em on Man Candy Monday.

Hope you can at least understand the appreciation.
