Who was better-looking in their prime: Rock Hudson or Montgomery Clift? (2024)

Who would you say?

Clift was like 5’8 tall.

Montgomery Clift was a handsome man. However, his sensitive, tortured soul persona made him an eternal boy, which negates any sexual magneticism and makes him less attractive, IMO.

Rock Hudson, in print, was no doubt a handsome man; however, bland. BUT, in moving pictures, especially in his 1960s comedies, he exuded charm, strength, and sexual appeal, which made him even more attractive.

They're both gorgeous men. In their prime, I'd surrender to either one, and be happily ravished again, and again, and again...

Side by side, Montgomery Clift and Matt Bomer don't really look all that similar.

Yet, in my mind, they bear an uncanny resemblance to each other.

I wonder what that type of memory phenomenon is called.

Wasn't Monty hung like a hamster?

Rock was a hot fucking stud. Monty was a guy you'd do after 2 or 3 martinis

“His” not “their”, OP.

Rock, of course. Monty was attractive, but always too thin and a bit pinched. Rock was perfection in human form.

Rock, because he didn't have just a great face and body, he was HUNG.

Monty >>>>>>>>>> Rock

Rock Hudson, I never even understood the appeal of bland and boring MC.

by Anonymousreply 24January 1, 2022 7:11 AM

Finally a comparison that's gay related.

I'd say Rock over the long run. Monty was only beautiful when young and his accident and drinking ruined his looks early.

Montgomery Clift reminds me of very hot Southern guys. That Anglo-Celtic look.

Monty was beautiful, Rock was hot. Which one I'd rather have would depend on my mood at the tine.

Rock was hot in many stages of his career/life. Never got the appeal for Montgomery.

I wonder why so many people don't get clift's appeal

Clift had a delicious body. Nice and hairy.

Rock has zero sex appeal for me. Doris can have him.

Monty's early movies showcase his epic hotness.

by Anonymousreply 38January 1, 2022 7:53 PM

I find Rock Hudson very attractive but bland and boring. Similar to how I feel about Henry Cavill and Matt Bomer.

Clift had more personality, very expressive eyes and a shy smile. I do think like Marlon Brando (who got too fat) and Warren Beatty (who got too plastic looking), Monty's beauty peaked too early (mainly the accident and drinking).

R42 why?

by Anonymousreply 43January 2, 2022 4:49 PM

Clift has a sweet, innocent face but you can sense he's deeply troubled and moody. His predecessor James Dean had that similar appeal. Cute but damaged.

by Anonymousreply 44January 2, 2022 4:54 PM

R44, Clift was the predecessor. Dean was his successor.

Come on, Rock was haf and I'm not a bottom. Plus he didn't have MC's whiny voice.

Rock Hudson. Clift, while pretty, had a hairy, somewhat underfed physique.

by Anonymousreply 49January 2, 2022 6:47 PM

R43 Just overall unappealing. Weak chin, hairy, crappy speaking voice, and too broodish.

by Anonymousreply 50January 2, 2022 6:50 PM

Why are they even being compared? Is it because both were gay.

It makes more sense to compare Rock to Tab Hunter or Troy Donahue. Montgomery should be compared more to James Dean or Paul Newman.

by Anonymousreply 51January 2, 2022 6:53 PM

Two completely different types of attractive - Rock was a hunk, Monty was a pretty boy. Both gorgeous, but you can’t honestly compare them. But the fact they were both gay kills me, my god, imagine being some random trick that got to sleep with either of these guys in their prime…..

That all being said, I have a legitimate low grade crush on Monty. He’s just so troubled and obviously vulnerable you want to take care of him and try to make it all okay. Rock is more of a fuckbuddy type.

These kind of questions depend on the photographer.

Monty looks bad in a bad photograph.

Rock Hudson was sex on legs and then some!

Clift was awkward, had little talent, no charisma, was short and average looking.
