Goodbye Casanova, Don Juan, Romeo, Valmont and other famous seducers. We’re all familiar with their formidable techniques and have already read a great deal about them. In this column, we’d like to guide you towards a more contemporary and subtle kind of hunter. Gone are the hunters of yesteryear, who promised us seas and worlds to make us spread our thighs. Here are a few famous playboys we’re crushing on today, and why:
- Javier Bardem: for his torrid Latino charm and his ultra-virile face with a heart of gold.
- Ryan Gosling: for his gentle, muscular look.
- Pierre Marmaï: for his beauty, his ability to play in all registers and his contagious sensitivity.
- Guillaume Canet: for his tenderness, kindness and natural confidence.
- Gaspard Ulliel: for his exceptional good looks and angelic face, which would make us do a lot of devilish things.
- Tahar Rahim: for his rebellious side turned wise and new-found wisdom.
- Stromae: for his depth, originality, intensity and integrity.
- George Clooney: for his incredible class, gentlemanly charm, humanitarian commitment and dandyish side.
- Julien Doré: for his drop-dead gorgeous looks and mushy hits that stick in your head.
- Lenny Kravitz: for his forbidden sexiness and kindness. That mouth, that way of moving…
- Kit Harington: for his ability to carry the world on his shoulders and his courage.
- Barack Obama: for his incredible class, his role as exemplary dad and his wonderful sense of humor.
- Tony Leung: for his delicious romanticism and his ability to do anything for love.
- Enrique Iglesias: for his cuteness and ultra-sensual ballads that make us crave immediate carnal contact.
- Omar Sy: for his overflowing goodness, his role as a good family man and husband, his protective good looks and his ability to make us snuggle up to him.
Of course, this list could be infinitely extended. It also reveals all the contradictions of the female mind. But, basically, women like men who are charming, non-violent, strong enough to defend the people they love, but gentle enough to show their sensitivity. A touch of savoir-vivre and a sense of style combined will end up seducing us.
