Eh. There are men I think who make smoking look hot - Johnny Depp comes to mind.

Leo just looks to me like he’s trying to look older and fit in with the cool kids.

I was a smoker about 10 years ago. Then my doctor told me I’d go blind if I didn’t stop. I know that sounds wierd, but that’s what he said.

I had bronchitis, and my eyes were hurting really bad (I was wearing sunglasses inside the department store I worked at, and the rumor was that I was hungover, ha!). So, Mom picked me up and took me to the emergency room, and I told the doctor about my thinning retina. Having bronchitis, he asked me if I was a smoker. So, he tells me that nicotine thins capillaries, and if my retina didn’t get enough blood it could detach. Scary! So, I quit cold turkey.

A year later I was told by an ophthamologist that I didn’t have a thinning retina, I just didn’t have any pigment and it had appeared that way to my optometrist when I was 10.

I love that I don’t really have a thinning retina, and I love that thinking I did made me quit smoking for good.

Pretty easy to criticize if you’ve never quit it yourself…I quit a year ago and let me tell you, while I’m glad I finally kicked it, the ciggie cravings are still unbelievable. I gave up all alcohol 4 years ago and sometimes it’s even worse than missing whiskey :-(

But yeah I’d take up smoking again to hang with Johnny Depp! Leo looks like a 12 year old to me, always has.

Yeah, the bloat cancels out the cool from the smoking. Now if it was Benicio Del Torro, I-have-been-on-a-bender-for-years-bloat that would be a different story - the coolness would be compounded. Also, I would lick Johnny Depp’s ciggy ashes.

smoking aside-when did leo get hot? I too have always thought of him as a 12 year old, or worse, the kid from growing pains. Gad, I am getting that old?

I still think he looks 12. Maybe it’s an age block on my part, but I don’t think he’s hot. When I see him, I think “What a nice-looking boy.” *lol*

LisaNo.1 nice call on Benicio…where the hell is he now???

He’s being held captive in my guest bedroom. Sorry, I’ll let him out again soon.

Maybe.

I’ll trade you one Benicio for two, that’s right two, George Clooneys!

No deal. I’m an odd duck who doesn’t find Clooney even remotely attractive. I think Facts of Life ruined me forever.

OMG Kitchy you rock…while he doesn’t do it for me either,I can appreciate that he got hotter w/ age, that lucky bastard (unfort. I think men tend to have better odds than women….Terri Hatchface anyone?) I’ll keep George and Damon tied to bedposts til another day then….sigh….

Damon’s another one I never really got. I think because I can’t stop thinking “Mystic Pizza” when I see him.

I should maybe stop basing my opinions of men on stuff that happened in the 80’s.

If he is Mr.Earth then why does he smoke.

I was just gonna say, how does smoking help save our plant and our environment! Even though he drives the EVER=popular PRIUS, he really needs to do something re: the smoking habit!

Mystic Pizza- made me think of another guy that got hotter with age, IMO, Vincent D’Onofrio…we were all a little silly in the 80s I think, except myself, I was only a teenager :-)

I second Vincent, Be Adequite.

Leo is hot, hot, hot! Maybe it’s because we’re the same age, but he’s always been damn sexy to me and even more so since “The Departed.” Damon has his moments. Sometimes he’s really hot and sometimes…not so much. Weird.
