It's Raining Men
69It's Raining Men was written in 1979 and offered up to some great women in pop music, but the Weather Girls finally published and performed it in 1982. The above video montage shows the awesome bodies of some of the most delectable men in the acting world.
In the rest of this tribute to the HubMob topic of Men, I'm going to give you a brief (pun intended) look at three of my favorites from Hollywood. Actors come and go, they grow old and change, but they are forever indelibly etched on our minds eye in the films and shows we have enjoyed them in, so without further delay here they are:
Johnny Depp
Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a died in the wool Johnny Depp fan. He charmed me with Sweeney Todd: The Demon of Barber Street, he brought out the want to be wench in Pirates of the Caribbean, and he had me swooning in at his portrayal of John Dillinger in Public Enemies.
His acting is, in my opinion, extremely versatile and flamboyant. Have there been movies that were less than great? Yes! But, because he has come into his own over the years we forgive the bad and look forward to the future and what he will bring us next.
Yul Brynner
I had the pleasure of meeting this man when he and his troup came to Atlanta and performed The King and I at the Fox Theater. His films and acting were a challenge for him and his Yugoslavian accent, but because of that accent he stands out as unique.
He played the King beautifully and then could assume the roll of western gunslinger in The Magnificent Seven. He was a gentleman who loved life to its fullest. Unfortunately, because of his excesses, he died in 1985.
Russell Crowe
The bad boy Aussie. What more can be said? I fell in love with him in Gladiator and have followed his career ever since. His wild antics on and off set often get him in trouble but he is a classic in the right of passage.
His films include the most recent State of Play, Gladiator, A Beautiful Mind and my other favorite Cinderella Man. I'm not a sports enthusiast by any means but I loved this movie and the fact that he took the hits to make them look authentic in the film.
He also has a band and I offer up a video of a performance he did at the AFI ceremonies. It is a jazzy kind of smooth sound that washes over you if you give it a chance. Combine that with those sexy bedroom eyes and full lips and you are sure to fall for him, too.

 Raising boys as a single woman can be challenging. Who will they "mirror" to develop their unique maleness, who will they model for relationships? These are concerns to be overcome when raising boys to men alone so the circle of life can continue. - 2 weeks ago

You are quite welcome Money Glitch and thanks for stopping by and commenting. Eye candy is good!
Hello Lynne
Your title is inspiring as you just HAVE to click on it.
It's Russell Crowe's voice I enjoy listening to. Overall, I like the Aussie Hugh Jackman more!
Hugh is another one that is pretty awesome I will admit.
Love Brad and Johnny Depp but not so sure about Yul and Russel. Still to each his own :) The first image of Depp, he looks like Erroll Flynn.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting ethel.
Very Nice. Eyes wide open. Brad and Johhny are probaly in close running for first on my list. Thanks for the hub. I put a hub in the hubmob and I can not find it anywhere. i am sad (:. I did a tribute to the Men in the Hair Salon.
Since I am a hair stylist I thought this would be appropriate. I worked hard on that hub. It was not put in the hubmob group. Do you know why that might be? Do we have to be famous or something? (kidding) Feedback would be nice. Hugs Thank You
