Hot or not?

by Ellie on April 25, 2010

You may notice that this week’s ‘Hot or not?’ is slightly later than usual. A short, well deserved family break and a little blogoliday temporarily suspended play.

But, as they say, better late than never!

Last week Milo Ventimiglia was yet another vote splitter with some even describing him as ‘a bit geography teacher looking‘. Well, he can be my hero and teach me the lie of the land any time he likes. Ahem.

This weeks gentleman was chosen by a lady who’s begun to despair of the plethora of ‘young’ men paraded before her eyes in past editions of ‘Hot or not?’ and I thought it was about time she had someone to swoon over. Her choice is certainly a good one!

Who could this gentleman be? Let’s find out.

John Corbett, hot or not?

In more recent times Mr Corbett is probably best known for his role as Carrie Bradshaw’s (ex) boyfriend, Aidan Shaw, in HBO’s world famous show ‘Sex and the City’. I’ve got to admit at this point that I’ve never seen a complete episode of ‘Sex and the City’.

What? I was busy, or something.

My memory of Mr Corbett is from a little further in the past. Do you remember ‘Northern Exposure’? Our lovely Mr Corbett played the small town of Cicely in Alaska’s resident Disc Jockey, Chris Stevens, from 1990 -1995. Yes, I am that old, but he’s older. Born in 1961 (and standing at a rather swoonsome 6′ 4″) I reckon he’s still looking pretty darn good!

It’s not my call though, you decide…..

Hot, but only when his hair is short. There were some ugly episodes of Sex in the City when his hair was long n stringy.

Hot. But I agree. Only with short hair.

Hot, but completely agree with the others -his hair has to be short! He’s now in the United States of Tara – on Showtime in the states – with Toni Collette. He’s really great in it (and looks even better than ever). :)

He is totally hot! I do love him as Aiden, but Carrie has to be with Mr Big, whom I love slightly more! You must watch Sex and the City reruns on comedy central every night Mon – Thurs, they started from series one again last week! I loved John Corbett in My Big Fat Greek Wedding aswell!

Hmm… I did like him in My Big Fat Greek Wedding but I think he looks a bit greasy in this one. I’ll have to go with Not I think.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Just did a meme on him. Well, not only him. But only in SATC. And in no other film. Although, yes to Northern Exposure. But not in anything else. (Believe me, I got out all his films and watched them. Stinkers one and all and he looks awful with long hair). And he’s happily attached to Bo Derek.

Weeee, that’s my husband there!
Love me some John Corbett. Have been adoring him since “Northern Exposure” and feel that Aidan was clearly robbed in SATC.
Too bad you aren’t getting “United States of Tara” yet.
He plays Toni Collette’s husband as you may have seen on a recent Graham Norton.
Soooo, HOT, HOT, HOT!
And a sweetie to boot!

As a WV girl I have to add that John’s character “Chris” in “Northern Exposure” was from WV, as is Mr. Corbett himself. Proud of our WV son.

I’m very predictable when it comes to my taste in men, and generally go for dark, a little bit rugged. So not for me, I’m afraid.

Love him, but only with short hair and he’d need to give those sideies a little trim for me!

Oooo very hot indeed! I’d have had the same dilema as Carrie in SATC though.Choosing between him and Mr Big??? No chance, I’d have them both. Can you put Mr Big up for Hot or Not if he hasn’t already been done?

26 Emma April 26, 2010 at 11:14 am

Hot! I’m another who hasn’t watched a proper episode of SATC (I know, gasp!) but have seen him in other stuff.

27 Jodie at Mummy Mayhem April 26, 2010 at 11:19 am

He is hot, although I agree, better with short hair.

29 Hot Cross Mum April 26, 2010 at 2:23 pm

I’ve mulled this over and it’s a Not from me I’m afraid. He was quite fanciable as Aiden but this photo makes him look like Alec Baldwin and a bit ‘puffy’ around the edges. Sorry. I SO wanted to like him.

My perving on the very hot Aiden was cut short by your SHOCKING revelation that you haven’t seen a whole episode of SATC! I would ask that you remedy this soon as it is fabulous!
Shocked, truly shocked!

Echoing everyone else about the hair, Greasy Aiden was not hot, but Aiden after-Carrie-with-the-baby-and-short-hair definitely was.

So yes, he gets a Hot vote from me.
