Usually the words “pretty boy” are a homophobic slur for teen idol types (and presidential candidates), so the Taylor Hansons of the world usually don’t up to their pretty, pretty looks.

But The Tudors actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers set a new pretty boy-precedent, though, when he kept it real with the Daily Mail: “I’m a pretty boy.” The Mail asked him about how some historians are unhappy with his portrayal as a drop-dead sexy King Henry VIII, when actually, the king wasn’t such the looker. So Meyers pointed out, “The reality is that viewers don’t want to see an obese, red-haired guy on a TV series. I mean, I wouldn’t like to see somebody who looked like Henry when he was older having sex.”

Ouch, kinda harsh there, pretty boy, but we’ll let you pass ‘cause you’re so easy on the eyes. Let’s take a look at some other Details cover-worthy men who we’d let get away with bad behavior!

I will never ever see what people see in that Twilight guy. He looks like he needs some sun or a good wash, or BOTH.

Sleeved John Mayer is pretty? And, keep the pretty mits off Johnny. His looks are omni and ephemeral, depending on what’s going on with his roles or personal life.

I don’t think Jonathan Rhys-Meyers can be classified as “pretty”. JRM….has an intensity about him that just bleeds across the big screen and pictures. Especially those eyes—the passionate, periwinkle eyes. Oh. My. God. They are nearly orgasim-inducing.

Jonathon Rhys Meyers does nothing for me. His face is too angular or something.

Robert Patterson has sociopath eyes or something..they just look so vacant and emotionless. Also, just because Pete Wentz wears guyliner does not make him a pretty boy.. he’s more troll than anything. Also, y’all forgot the posterchild of pretty boys… Mr. D Bowie.

John Mayer and Pete Wentz are gross!

Chace Crawford though, he qualifies for this list.

JRM = fitness. I have a weak spot for guys with those very angular features. Mmm.

If we are defining “pretty” as effeminate, then I agree with this list. But, if pretty means “easy on the eyes” then this list has it all wrong!! Keep Beckham and Depp, get rid of the rest, then add some Pitt, some Clooney, some Wentworth Miller, and a dash of Denzel, then shake, and BAM… you have yourself a yummy man-drink.
