1) Hint: In 1999, People dubbed him “Sexiest Man of the Century.” But back when this actor was 23? Ehhh.

    Towhead implies really light blonde/flaxen almost white colored hair.

      Yeah, I thought that was a weird adjective to use, as well.

    • Jenn says:

      Please. He’s a natural blond with frosted tips.

      • Harriet Meadow says:

        And still not towheaded by any means. =)

        On another note, this is a really fun article. I learned a lot of things. 1) Sean Connery is – as I have always suspected – not that hot, 2) Stephen Colbert is a fox, 3) Martha Stewart is apparently known as a bitter divorcee, 4) Ryan Seacrest has always been kind of a loser.
