It’s Monday, y’all!!
And not only is it Monday (insert sad face) BUT we are no less than twenty days from Christmas. Christmas!! Are you ready?
In light of the holiday season, I decided to celebrate two of my favorite silver haired movie stahs. Silver is Christmasey right? And I’m certainly no ageist. I can appreciate men of all ages.
So for today:
Richard Gere Vs Sean Connery
A departure from our usual match-ups, but remember–with age comes wisdom. And experience. And sweet retirement plans that can fund tropical cruises. Just saying.
To start off, let’s compare them in their best movie roles:
Richard Gere was basically the hottest thing alive in Pretty Woman, and Sean Connery was James Bond. Does it get any better? One is holding thousands of dollars in jewels and the other a drink and a gun. So, I guess it just depends on what kind of girl you are.
I’ll take the jewels, thanks.
Both men are former People’s Sexiest Man Alive.
Well hello men, there you are on magazines. Sean Connery, I was nine when that issue came out. Wow. You ARE old. Not that I’m an ageist because again– totally not.
Both men know how to defend your honor:
Both of these photos are from the movie First Knight. Have you seen it? Ah mah gah…swoon. One of my favorites, not kidding.
Richard and Sean have dated their share of gorgeous women:
Hello Cindy, I totally used to want to be you but now you do those annoying infomercials. Hi Kim. Huge fan of Vicki Vale in Batman. Your best work ever, seriously.
And last but not least, let’s put these men to the Tux Test:
Both look quite distinguished, if you ask me. Love the rose, Richard. It’s a nice touch.
So there you have it. Two Silver Studs. Who gets your vote?
I’ve always been a huge Sean Connery fan. So the original, and best, Bond gets my vote. The Scottish accent totally works for me!
I agree with Lindsay, 100%!
As hot as Richard Gere is, I have to go with Sean … the voice is the final touch!
Oh nuts… when I read the title I was sure Anderson Cooper would have been part of this post. Can I still vote for him?
If not… Sean Connery over Richard Gere. It’s the accent.
Are we voting on looks alone? Cause they’re both kinda nuts. :/
Sean Connery, hands-down. Can’t beat James Bond (and that super-sexy accent!).
DEFINITELY Richard Gere for me! Pretty Woman, An Officer and a Gentleman, American Gigolo, need I say more?
Sean!! Always and forever:)
ahahahaha I want Anderson Cooper too! LOL Let’s add a 3rd.
Gotta be the minority on this one and go Team Gere. He’s closer to my generation and Sean feels like my grandpa so I can’t get excited about that. Might I throw in a suggestion for Patrick Stewart in a bald man edition so I can see if I’m the only weirdo out there?
Oh man, this is a tough one… both are super hot… but I’ve always adored Sean Connery. It doesn’t even matter how old he is- and that’s a good sign of how sexy a guy is
Sean…he is the ultimate James Bond.
Gere. I’ll take a box of jewels over a drink and a gun any day of the week.
While Gere is rather good looking and I love him in Pretty Women and Runaway Bride, I have to go with Connery. He has got the deep sexy voice, the accent, and is the original James Bond.
Sean, Sean, Sean!!!
Wow, way to make it tough! I’ve got to go wiyh Gere. BUT if we add anderson cooper in, he wins hands down
Agreed with all of the above Anderson Cooper comments…he would for sure win Sexy silver hair hands down…but since he is not an option, I will say Richard Gere is my vote! Love me some Pretty Woman movie nights!!
My Mother always taught me to share, so I think they should both get to be my first pick. Hmmm…not sure if that’s what Mom had in mind!
Team Gere here, though I’ll second the nomination for the Silver Fox, Anderson Cooper!
Richard Gere….I want to go watch Pretty Woman now.
Richard Gere….ALL THE WAY!
Sean Connery
richard gere officer and a genleman my all time fave. love a man in uniform
Richard Gere! So hot! Pretty Woman is my all time favorite!
Richard Gere! When I see Sean Connery all I can think of is Darrell Hammond playing him in the SNL Jeopardy skits.
