So I saw Predators this morning, and was reminded what a babe Brody is:

Yeah, he’s covered in mud there, but he looks good not covered in mud too:

He also looks pretty good with his clothes on:

Remember what Steve Martin said in Roxanne about men with big noses?

I’m posting pictures like these every weekday, of a man who is attractive and desirable, because I like to look, dammit -- and because the female gaze doesn’t have to be such serious business.
(If you have a suggestion for someone we should female-gaze at, feel free to email me with a name or a link to a particular photo.)

Thank you, thank you. He's so sexy in such an odd and appealing way. I can't get enough of gazing at him.

I have to agree with surreyhill. I've always found him attractive and yet there have been many times I've had to justify or apologize for it. He seems to have really beefed up for Predators (I can't wait to see it for him alone) but I've always liked tall and skinny lol. And sexy, hell yes. Talent is sexy.

Best description I've read of that Predators shot:
"...goddamn sexual tyrannosaurus..."

Mmmmm...any which way he just looks good, period.
Adrien just has this timeless, elegant sexiness which never goes out of style...

I think because his looks are a little off-kilter, or just not in the "gosh, he's pretty like a gazillion other actors" way, Brody begs (well, not him literally) to be looked at and studied rather than just glossed over.
This is a nice series of photos for him, MaryAnn.

Not a fan. Just want to slap him or something.
Although that pic with him covered with mud (so as you almost can't see who he is) is pretty hot.

Never would have looked at him twice randomly on the street; but, once met him at a friend's party (years ago, before Summer of Sam came out) and he had a lot of charm. Hence, everytime I see him in a movie, my mind flashes back to that. Yeah, sexy.

I love that last picture of him. It shows up his sensitive, vulnerable, intelligent look. He was a feast in King Kong and Cadillac Records. And I always thought he was a dead ringer for a young Sherlock Holmes.
Though I actually find the beefcake photos of him pretty jarring! I mean, I shrink from saying something judgmental and entitled like "he's 'too' built;" it's his body to inhabit as he pleases, and that is one damn accomplished physique. Nor is it fair to say any particular appearance should be linked to any particular persona, that "brainy" guys can't have a Men's Health cover bod or that buff guys can't be brainy. But. . . . I dunno! I find something dissonant about his beefcake look and prefer seeing him clothed. (I am sure this will break his heart.)

He reminds me a little of Jeff Goldblum, who would, btw, make an excellent candidate.

Adrien Brody, yes! Something about him! Couldn't take my eyes off him in "The Brothers Bloom" or "Darjeeling Limited." Don't really care about his real-life personality... just like to look!
