After you’ve seen this still of Jack Nicholson in 1963’s “The Raven,” you’ll understand why his list of alleged romantic conquests includes Anjelica Huston, Michelle Phillips, Janice Dickinson, Lara Flynn Boyle, Rita Moreno, first lady of Canada Margaret Trudeau, Angie Everhart, Julie Delpy, Joni Mitchell, Marg Helgenberger, Kate Moss and more.

When Brad Pitt appeared opposite Geena Davis in 1991’s “Thelma & Louise,” he solidified himself as a Hollywood heartthrob for decades to come.

_

James Caan — the movie star with a tough-guy persona who starred in “The Godfather,” “Misery,” “Elf” and more — passed away on July 6, 2022, at 82. He’s seen here as a handsome young man in his late 20s in 1968.

_

Former gymnast and professional dancer Mads Mikkelsen found fame in his native Denmark with his acting work in 1996’s “Pusher” and global fame a decade later when he played a villain in the 2006 James Bond film “Casino Royale.” A decade after that, he was playing Dr. Hannibal Lecter on TV to rave reviews and in 2022 took on yet another villain — dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald in “Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore.” Mads and his cheekbones are seen here back in 2003 at the Sundance Film Festival.

_

We’ve always wondered how Jon Voight spawned the beauty that is Angelina Jolie. After taking a look back at him in 1969’s “Midnight Cowboy,” we finally get it.

_

Howdy, cowboy! Tom Selleck raised temperatures on 1982’s “The Shadow Riders.”

William Shatner might be more silly than sexy these days, but there’s a reason Captain Kirk was such a hit with the ladies!

_

We’ve absolutely adored Ian McKellen for a while now — even before we realized that back in 1974, he looked like this!

Another undisputed ’80s heartthrob? None other than Perry King. Best known for his work on the series “Riptide” and in the film “The Hasty Heart,” which also earned him a Golden Globe nomination, Perry’s suave look made audiences swoon. 

_

If you’ve seen him in 1987’s “Dirty Dancing,” then you’ll understand why Patrick Swayze was named People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive in 1991. The late actor was undeniably talented and handsome — it’s no wonder the “Ghost” star was one of Hollywood’s most beloved romantic leads.

_

If only Mickey Rourke hadn’t sustained injuries to his face during his stint as a professional boxer during the early ’90s, he might still look like he did in “9 1/2 Weeks.”

_

When we think rom-com, we think Hugh Grant. The English actor, who scored leading roles in notable romantic films like “Notting Hill” and “Bridget Jones’s Diary,” looked as charming as ever in 1994’s “Four Weddings and A Funeral.” 

_

A total hunk! Tony Leung — who delivered some incredible moves in his fight scenes as the villain in the 2021 Marvel flick “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” — looked handsome as a younger man in 2000’s “In The Mood For Love.”

Who didn’t have a crush on John Travolta as Danny Zuko in 1978’s “Grease”?!
